Excise tax is a regressive tax. It is also an indirect tax.

Indirect taxes are those paid by individuals through their purchases. In this case, the excise tax imposed on cigarettes are indirect taxes because the price of the cigarette includes its corresponding excise tax, which the seller will pay to the government. In comparison, direct taxes are those that the individual pays directly to the government. An example of this is the income tax.

What is the SBA intended to do ?
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is a United States government agency that provides support to entrepreneurs and small businesses. The mission of the Small Business Administration is "to maintain and strengthen the nation's economy by enabling the establishment and viability of small businesses and by assisting in the economic recovery of communities after disasters". The agency's activities are summarised as the "3 Cs" of capital, contracts and counselling.

SBA loans are made through banks, credit unions and other lenders who partner with the SBA. The SBA provides a government-backed guarantee on part of the loan. Under the Recovery Act and the Small Business Jobs Act, SBA loans were enhanced to provide up to a 90 percent guarantee in order to strengthen access to capital for small businesses after credit froze in 2008. The agency had record lending volumes in late 2010.

SBA helps lead the federal government's efforts to deliver 23 percent of prime federal contracts to small businesses. Small business contracting programs include efforts to ensure that certain federal contracts reach woman-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses as well as businesses participating in programs such as 8(a) and HUB Zone. Another resource the SBA launched earlier this year is the SBA Franchise Directory, aimed to connect entrepreneurs to lines of credit and capital in order to grow a business.

SBA has at least one office in each U.S. state. In addition, the agency provides grants to support counselling partners, including approximately 900 Small Business Development Centers (often located at colleges and universities), 110 Women's Business Centers, and SCORE, a volunteer mentor corps of retired and experienced business leaders with approximately 350 chapters. These counselling services provide services to over 1 million entrepreneurs and small business owners annually. President Obama announced in January 2012 that he would elevate the SBA into the Cabinet, a position it last held during the Clinton administration,thus making the Administrator of the Small Business Administration a cabinet-level position.

tatiyna

Answer:

a. The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the  initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.

Explanation:

a . Total initial cost = 4600*5

                                = $23000

Total Salvage Value = 300*5

                                   = $1500

Operating cost = $1000 with a gradient of $100.

PV of operating cost = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000(P/A,5,10%) + 100(P/A,5,10%)(A/G,5,10%)

                                   = 1000*3.7908 + 100*3.7908*1.8101

                                    = 3790.8 + 686.17

                                     = $4476.97

PV of salvage value = 1500(P/F,5,10%)

                                  =1500*0.6209

                                  = $931.35

NPV = -23000 - 4476.97 + 931.35

        = - $26545.62

annual revenue to get $26545 = 26545.62(A/P,5,10%)

                                                     = 26545.62*0.2638

                                                      = $7002.73

Annual Revenue = $7002.73

Therefore, The $7002.73 new annual net income is necessary to recover the initial investment of the five GIS systems at the annual effective interest rate of 10%

b.   Since $6000 revenue is less than $7002.73 project is not viable financially.
