Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

An increase in the size of tax is likely to increase the tax revenue when the price elasticity of supply, as well as price elasticity of demand, are both large.  

The imposition of tax will cause an increase in the price of the product. If the price elasticity of demand is higher, an increase in the price will lead to a more than proportionate decrease in demand.  

At the same time, high price elasticity of supply means that when the tax is imposed the sellers will be able to reduce quantity more easily.  

So when less output is produced and demanded the tax revenue will also be lower.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

$33,700 (Favorable)

Explanation:

Note: Figures are not inputted. The missing figures have been figured out as below.

"<em>Nexus industries uses a standard costing system to apply manufacturing costs to its production process. In May nexus anticipated 2700 units with fixed manufacturing overhead costs allocated at $8.40 per direct labor hour with a standard of 2.5 direct labor hours per unit. In May, actual production was 3400 units and actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost were $23000.  What was nexus fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance in May</em>?"

Solution:

Budgeted fixed overhead costs = Units * Direct labor cost * Standard Direct Labor hours per unit

= 2,700 units * $8.40 * 2.5

= 2,700 units * 21

= $56,700

Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = Actual fixed overhead cost - Budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead costs

When Actual fixed overhead = $23,000 ,  Budgeted fixed overhead costs = $56,700

Fixed manufacturing overhead volume variance = $23,000 - $56,700

= $33,700 (Favorable) .

Low-interest rates on loans thus credit is cheaper. Additionally, there will be less competition as the money is in the hands of few people during this time. Finally, many people want to save money and thus clients will be on the lookout for more affordable alternatives.
