Answer:

both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers

Explanation:

Here are the options:

 a. both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers. b. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers c. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers O d. both taxes would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers.

Tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services. Taxes increases the price of goods and services

Supply is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity supplied.

Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in demand when price is increased.

More burden of tax should fall on the consumers because their demand is inelastic. So, if prices rise as a result of the tax, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded.

But in the case of suppliers, they are sensitive to price and a rise in price would cause quantity supplied to fall and revenue would fall.

I hope my answer helps you

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

a. $26

b. $23

c. $34

d. $29

e. $21

f.  $11

g. $14

h. $11

Explanation:

a. Variable cost per unit.

Variable cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Variable Non - Manufacturing Costs

                                    = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3

                                    = $26

b. Variable production cost per unit.

Variable production cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Cost

                                                       = $12 + $9 + $2

                                                       = $23

c. Full cost per unit.

Full cost per unit = Manufacturing and Non - Manufacturing (Variable and Fixed)

                            = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3 + $47,500/23,750 units + $142,500/23,750 units

                            = $12 + $9 + $2 + $3 + $2 + $6

                            = $34

d. Full absorption cost per unit.

Full absorption cost per unit = Variable Manufacturing Costs + Fixed Manufacturing Costs

                                                = $12 + $9 + $2 + $6

                                                = $29

e. Prime cost per unit.

Prime cost per unit = Direct Manufacturing Costs'

                                = $12 + $ 9

                                = $ 21

f. Conversion cost per unit.

Conversion cost per unit = Direct Labor Costs + Overheads Costs

                                         = $9 + $2

                                         = $11

g. Contribution margin per unit.

Contribution margin per unit = Sales - Variable Costs

                                                = $ 40 - $26

                                                = $ 14

h. Gross margin per unit.

Gross margin per unit = Sales - Full absorption cost per unit

                                     = $40 - $29

                                     = $11
