Answer: Air travel is a normal good and vacation travel by car is an inferior good
Explanation: What is a normal good and what is an inferior good.
Normal goods are those goods for which the demand rises as consumer income rises. While inferior goods are goods whose demand increases when consumer income decreases.
This therefore means that the demand of inferior goods is inversely related to the income of the consumer.
From the question above, we can say that car trips are inferior goods while the air travel are normal goods.
Answer: Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Correct Option: The corporate tax rate increases.
If there is an increase in the corporate tax rate then this will induce the firms to increase the amount of their debt. This is due to the fact that the firms with more debt are going to pay less tax because of the large interest expense. Due to large interest expenses, their income before tax reduces.
Hence, large corporate taxes encourage firms to increase the amount of debt. Therefore, the firms with no debt pays higher taxes than the firms with higher amount of debt.
Answer:
The demand for Jim’s product is elastic
Explanation:
In this question, we are to calculate the price elasticity of demand for the product.
We proceed as follows;
The formula for calculating elasticity of demand is
e = [(Q2 - Q1) / {(Q1 + Q2) / 2}] / [(P2 - P1) / {(P1 + P2) / 2}]
Here, Q2 = 6000
Q1 = 8000
P2 = $250
P1 = $200
e = [(6000 - 8000) / {(8000 + 6000) / 2}] / [($250 - $200) / {($200 + $250) / 2}]
e = [(- 2000) / 7000] / [(50 / 225]
e = - 1.3
That means absolute value of e is 1.3.
So, as the absolute value of e is more than 1 (i.e., 1.3), that means the demand for the product is elastic.
Answer:
If the firm is going to need less than 50,000 motors, they should purchase them from the outside vendor.
If the firm is going to use between 50,000 to 59,999 motors, it should use process A.
If the firm expects to use 60,000 or more motors per year, it should use process B.
Explanation:
Process A:
contribution margin per unit = $11 - $7 = $4
break even number of units = $200,000 / $4 = 50,000 units
Process B:
contribution margin per unit = $11 - $8 = $3
break even number of units = $180,000 / $3 = 60,000 units
Answer:
The amount of goodwill that is recorded by Large is $5 million
Explanation:
Goodwill is the excess of price consideration paid to acquire controlling stake in a company over the fair value of the company's net assets.
Net assets in the sense implies the fair value of total assets less fair value of liabilities.
Fair value of total assets is $9 million
Fair value of liabilities is $3 million
As a result net assets upon acquisition is $6 million($9 million less $3 million)
Since the consideration paid in acquiring Small's voting stake is $11 million, goodwill is $5 million($11 million less $6 million).
The $ 5 million is the excess of purchase consideration over the fair value of Small's net assets as at the date of acquisition
