Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

lower; higher.

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

The different types of tax include the following;

1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.

2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.

3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.

Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).

This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.

professor190 [17]

Answer:

5. Po= 0.36

6. Pn = 0.04

7. 0.16

8. 1.11

9. 1.75

10. 9.9

Explanation:

5. Computation for the probability that April will not be working with a customer

Using this formula

Po=1-(Average number of arrival per hour/Average number of customer served per hour)

Let plug in the formula

Po= 1-(7/11 )

Po=1-0.64

Po= 0.36

Therefore the probability that April will not be working with a customer will be 0.36

6. Calculation for the probability of 5 customers in the system

Using this formula

Pn= (Average number of arrival per hour/Average number of customer served per hour)* Po

Let plug in the formula

Pn= (7/11)^5* 0.36

Pn=0.104358*0.36

Pn=0.037

Pn = 0.04 (Approximately)

Therefore the probability of 5 customers in the system will be 0.04

7. Calculation for the average time a customer spends waiting in line

Time spend Waiting in line=7^2/11(11 – 7) /7

Time spend Waiting in line=(49/44)/7

Time spend Waiting in line = 1.11/7

Time spend Waiting in line= 0.16

Therefore the average time a customer spends waiting in line will be 0.16

8. Calculation for the average number of customers waiting in line

Customers waiting in line = 7^2/11(11 – 7)

Customers waiting in line=49/44

Customers waiting in line= 1.11

Therefore the average number of customers waiting in line will be 1.11

9. Calculation for the average number of customers in the system

Average customers in the system= 1.11 +(7/11)

Average customers in the system= 1.11 +0.64

Average customers in the system = 1.75

Therefore the average number of customers in the system will be 1.75

10. Calculation for the arrival rate in order for April to stay that busy

Arrival rate = 0.9 * 11

Arrival rate = 9.9

Therefore the arrival rate in order for April to stay that busy will be 9.9
