Answer:

1. fall

2. Larger

3. more

Explanation:

The price elasticity is relative measure of change in demand. When the demand of heating oil decreases due to increase in price then the heating oil is considered as price elastic. The elasticity of heating oil is 0.2 in the short run and 0.7 in the long run which means customers respond less in change of demand in short run due to change in price. When the price of heating oil increases, the demand will fall in the short run.

In the short run customers may not find time to respond to the change in price. The change in demand in short run is smaller and change in demand in Long run will be larger.

The price elasticity of heating oil is more in long run because customer may find alternate sources at a cheaper rate and may switch to it causing a greater fall in demand of heating oil.

Artemon [7]

Answer:

a. Private Property Rights

b. Political Stability and Rule of Law

c. Open and Competitive Market

d. Private Property Rights

Explanation:

a. By defining private property Rights and giving people a chance to own resources, Individuals will strive to own more and more of such rights and so will produce as much as they can so as to afford such rights.

b. When a nation is Politically stable and respects the Rule of Law, investment payoffs are easier to predict than in a country where instability can threaten to degrade investments such that the payoffs will be lost. For example, think of all the Western firms that lost money when the Shah of Iran was overthrown by the Ayatollah.

c. Specialization is more likely to occur in nations with Open and Competitive Market. An Open Market means that goods can come in from the outside easily. This will have the effect of the country being able to import goods that cost a lot to produce locally and instead focus on producing those goods that they are well adept at producing. This is Specialization. Also as a result of competition, companies will strive to find better ways to make profit above competitors and come up with more efficient ways of Production as a result.

d. The Xiaogang Agreement refers to an agreement by farmers in Xiaogang to subdivide their lands in secret so that they would each own a small part of it. As a result, the farmers had an incentive to produce for themselves as they now owned resources that they could benefit from. This right to Private Property led to a huge boom in Agriculture.

Mary Jarvis is a single individual who is working on filing her tax return for the previous year. She has assembled the followin

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a. What is Mary’s federal tax liability?

$20,243.75

b. What is her marginal tax rate?

25%

c. What is her average tax rate?

average tax rate for ordinary income = $18,293.75 / $90,000 = 20.33%

average tax rate on all of Mary's taxable income (including long term capital gains) = $20,243.75 / $103,000 = 19.65%

Explanation:

Since the personal exemption is $4,000, I assume that this question takes place during 2015.

total ordinary income = $82,000 (salary) + $12,000 (dividend income) + $5,000 (interest income) + $2,500 (short term capital gains) = $101,500

long term capital gains = $13,000

taxable ordinary income = $101,500 - $4,000 - $7,500 = $90,000

tax liability on ordinary income = $5,156.25 + [($90,000 - $37,450) x 25%] = $18,293.75

tax liability on long term capital gains = $13,000 x 15% = $1,950

total tax liability = $20,243.75

Compute straight-line depreciation on the building at the end of one year, assuming an estimated 10-year useful life and a $16,0

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Missing word <em>"Bridge City Consulting bought a building and the land on which it is located for $120,000 cash. The land is estimated to represent 70 percent of the purchase price. The company paid $10,000 for building renovations before it was ready for use."</em>

<em />

Total Cost of Land and Building (100%) = $120,000

Cost of Land (70%) = $84,000

Cost of Building (30%) = $36,000

Cost of Building Renovations = $10,000

Total Cost of Building = $36,000 + $10,000

Total Cost of Building = $46,000

1. Annual Depreciation(Year End Depreciation) = (Cost of Building - Residual Value)/ Number of Year

Annual Depreciation = $46,000 - $16,000 / 10

Annual Depreciation = $30,000 / 10

Annual Depreciation = $3,000

2. Book Value of Land at the end of two years = $84,000

Book Value of Building at the end of two years = $46,000 - ($3,000*2 year) = $46,000 - $6,000 = $40,000

Hence, Book Value of Land and Building at the end of two year is = $84,000 + $40,000 = $124,000
