Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.

Len [333]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

The net profit margin is

= Net income ÷ sales revenue

= $184,000 ÷ $574,000

= 32%

The asset turnover is

= Sales revenue ÷ average of assets

= $574,000 ÷ ($2,142,000 + $1,998,000)  ÷ 2

= $574,000 ÷ $2,070,000

= 0.28 times

= Net income ÷ average of assets

= $184,000 ÷ $2,070,000

= 0.089

= 8.89%

Yes.

What are you asked to find or show?

The differnece in price bewtween the store T-shirt and the On-line T-shirt

Nathan can purchase a Tshirt by $38 with 30% discount or $34 with 25% discount. Which is the cheapest option?

Is there enough information to enable you to find a solution?

Yes, we have the list price for both T-shirt and the discount on each one.

<u>Devise a plan:</u>

<u>Use a formula</u>

list price less discount = net cost

<u>We will calculate the net cost for the T-shirt</u>

<em>in-store purchase scenario</em>

$38 - 30% coupon = 26.6 dollars

<em>on-line purchase scenario</em>

$34 - 25% off = 25,5‬ dollars

<u>The difference will be:</u>

$26.6 - $25.5 = 1.1 dollar in favor of the online purchase

Yellowstone Corporation has just announced the repurchase of $125,000 of its stock. The company has 39,000 shares outstanding an
puteri [66]

Answer:

The price–earnings ratio after the repurchase is 22.18

Explanation:

First calculate Numbers of new shares

New Shares = Old Shares - ( Repurchased Shares / Price per share )

New Shares = 39,000 - ( $125,000 / $76.09 )

New Shares = 39,000 - 1,642.79

New Shares = 37,357.21 shares

New compute the old earning

Old  Earning = EPS x Numbers of old shares = $3.29 x 39,000 = $128,310

New compute revised Earning per share

Revised EPS = Earning / New shares = $128,310 / 37,357.21 shares = $3.43

Now we need to calculate the Price earning ratio

P/E Ratio = Price per share / Revised earning per share = $76.09 / $3.43 = 22.18 times
