Answer:

PED= 0.1571

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:  

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P  

In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:

%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%

%Change in quantity is= -6%

PED= -6%/38.17%

In absolute value:

PED= 0.1571

If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The correct answer is not listed in the options. However, the answer is $23,500. The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

It is important to understand the three levels of possible deductions as dividends are collected from US corporations.

  1. General rule: DRD is equal to 70% of dividend received
  2. If the company receiving the dividend owns more than 20% but less than 80% of the company paying the dividend, the DRD amounts to 80% of the dividend received.
  3. If the company receiving the dividend owns more than 80% of the company paying the dividend, the DRD equates to 100% of the dividend.

From our scenario, Wayne corporation holds the following percent holdings.

Robin Corporation = 40%

Bat Corporation = 90%

==> Using the Third Rule, Bat Corporation owns more than 80% which is 100%, therefore, we have:

$20,000 × 100% = $20,000

==> By using the second rule,

deductible amount = $5,000 × 80% = $4,000

==> By applying the general rule to Robin Corporation, we have

$5,000 × 70% = $3,500

Therefore, the total dividend deductible amount is $20,000 + $3,500 = $23,500

Whindy Corporation, an S corporation, reports a recognized built-in gain of $80,000 and a recognized built-in loss of $10,000 th
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Built-in gains tax is $13,020 .

Explanation:

The built-in gains tax is one levied against an S corporation that used to be a C corporation, or received assets from a C corporation.  

Here,

Gain= $80,000

Loss= $10,000

Holds= $8,000

Income= $65,000

Corporate tax= 21%

To calculate the built-in gains tax, we will need to calculate the net gain of the corporation and multiply it by the tax rate.

= Built-in-gain - built-in-loss - unexpired NOL

80,000 - 10,000 - 8,000 = 62,000

Then

62,000 x 0.21 tax rate = 13,020

= 13,020
