A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Explanation

The formulas and calculations are shown below:

1-A)the current ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

= Total Current assets ÷ total current liabilities=[10516 ÷ 7122]

=1.47655

1-B)the acid-test ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated below as

Quick assets = Cash and cash equivalents + short-term investments + Accounts receivable (net)

=2240 + 1681 + 1347=5268

the current liabilities = 7122

If we substitute the values into the above expresion, we have

=$ 5652 ÷ $7122

= 0.74 times

1-C.) the debt to equity ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017.

Debt equity ratio = (Total debt ÷ Shareholders’ Equity)

where,

Total debt = Total current liabilities + Long-term liabilities

Total current liabilities =$ 9147

the Shareholders’ equity is $4709

If we substitute the values we have,

$9147 ÷$ 4709

= 1.94 times

1-D. Calculate the times interest earned ratio for Best Buy for its fiscal year ended January 28, 2017 can be calculated as

Times interest earned ratio = (Earnings before interest and taxes) ÷ (Interest expense)

Earnings before interest and taxes = Income before income tax + Interest expense + income tax expense

$1854 - $38 + $72

=$1888

Interest expense=$72

Then substitute into above expresion, we have

=$ 1888 ÷$ 72

= 26.2 times
