Answer:
Option (C)
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Price of salt increases by = 25%
Quantity of pepper demanded increases by = 4%
Cross price elasticity = Quantity of demand increases ÷ Price of salt increases
= 4% ÷ 25%
=0.16
Hence Cross-price elasticity of demand between salt and pepper would be positive.
So option (C) is answer
<span>The correct answer is that it depends on the specifics of the incentive plan. A general incentive plan that is not linked directly to productivity will typically become old news to staff within a few years. What was once an incentive will become familiar and may be viewed as an entitlement as staff start looking for the eternal "what's next?".
An incentive directly linked to some kind of productivity (e.g. hours worked) will have a far longer shelf life (though this will, of course, vary by employee). In this scenario the ongoing incentive remains year over year (e.g. the hours of overtime worked in the previous year will have no bearing on the current year so if you want a similar result you will need to maintain your effort whereas if you want a better result you will have to increase your effort).
All incentive plans, however, are subject to the rules of diminishing marginal utility to the employees and will diminish over time as the employee either becomes comfortable at a certain productivity level or becomes disenchanted by other factors.
In summation: an incentive plan, if designed properly, can work for a relatively long period of years though results may vary by employee as everyone is motivated by different things (though providing an alternative incentive to money may somewhat mitigate this additional potential problem).</span>
Answer:
Luke's net tax due or refund is $2,900
Explanation:
In order to calculate Luke's net tax due or refund we would have to make the following calculation:
Luke's net tax due or refund=Luke's non refundable credit+income taxes withheld from his salary
Luke's non refundable credit=non refundable personal tax credit-gross tax liability
Luke's non refundable credit=$2,400-$1,800
Luke's non refundable credit=$600
Therefore, Luke's net tax due or refund=$600+$2,300
Luke's net tax due or refund=$2,900
Luke's net tax due or refund is $2,900
Based on the fact that the non-taxable life insurance benefit is $400, the amount that Joseph would have to earn is $555.56.
<h3>How much should Joseph earn?</h3>
This can be found as:
= Non-taxable benefit amount / (1 - tax bracket rate)
Solving gives:
= 400 / (1 - 28%)
= 400 / 0.72
= $555.56
