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.

Answer:

Income will be higher by $16 per unit

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Direct material = $38

Direct labor = $50

Overhead = $21

Total variable cost = $38 + $50 + $21

= $109

Cost of supply = $125

Income increased per unit = cost of supply - total variable cost  

=$125 - $109

= $16

Because the cost of inhouse is lower therefore net income will be more by $16 per unit

Suppose you have $10,000 in cash and you decide to borrow another $10,000 at a(n)6% interest rate to invest in the stock market.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

D)-26%

Explanation:

The computation of the realized return on your investment is shown below:

= (Rate of return × total investment) - (interest paid)

= (-10% × $20,000) - (6% × $1,000)

= (-$2000 - $600)

= -$2,600

Now  the Rate of return is

=(-$2,600 ÷ $10,000)

= -26%

hence, the realized return on your investment is -26%

Therefore the correct option is D.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

cash                   96,535 debit

discount on BP    3,465 debit

          Bonds Payable          100,000 credit

Explanation:

We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:

Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000

time 4  (2 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.06  (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)

5000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-4} }{0.06} = PV\\  

PV $17,325.5281  

 

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity (face value)   $100,000.00  

time   4.00  

rate  0.06

\frac{100000}{(1 + 0.06)^{4} } = PV  

PV   79,209.37  

 

PV c $17,325.5281  

PV m  $79,209.3663  

Total $96,534.8944  

As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:

100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465

the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity

we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
