Answer:

B. $19,494

Explanation:

In order to find out the margin of safety in dollars, first we have to compute the break even point in dollars that is shown below:

Break even point = (Fixed cost) ÷ (Profit volume Ratio)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit  

= $18 - $6

= $12

And, Profit volume ratio = (Contribution margin per unit) ÷ (selling price per unit) × 100

So, the Profit volume ratio = (12) ÷ (18) × 100 = 66.67%

And, the fixed cost is $5,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to  

= ($5,000) ÷ (66.67%)  

= $7,500

Now the margin of safety equals to

= Expected sales - break even sales

where,  

Expected sales = Selling price per unit × Unit sales per month

= $18 × 1,500 units

= $27,000

And, the break even sales is $7,500

= $27,000 - $7,500

= $19,500

The nature of the tax system means that there is usually a trade-off between ___ and ___.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

<u>equity and efficiency</u>

Explanation:

Under the tax system there is no tax on losses. And also the losses can be carried forward and set off to profits in future.

When profits are earned the taxes are paid. After that the remaining profit is either distributed to equity or retained for future purposes.

The more efficiently the company works, higher will be the profit and higher will be the taxes.

As profit is for equity, and from that share the amount is given to tax authorities, which is some part of income, share of equity to tax.

Though it does not provide for right in company, but it is legal to pay the tax.

That is the price you pay for increasing or decreasing efficiency, in the form of income available for equity.
