Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 30 billion bottles of wine were sold ev

ery year at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 23 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $9 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $4 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $ per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Answer:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.

Explanation:

The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).

The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers.  This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.

The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers.  This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.

If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5).  This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden.  This would have made the tax unequitable.  This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic.  That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.

Tony Manufacturing produces a single product that sells for​ $80. Variable costs per unit equal​ $50. The company expects total
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

The correct option is (A)

Explanation:

Given:

Projected sales for next month = $2,800 units

Selling price = $80

Total sales in dollars = 2800×80 = $224,000

Total variable costs = 2800×50 = $140,000

Fixed cost = $82,000

Operating income = Total sales - total variable cost - fixed cost

                              = 224,000 - 140,000 - 82,000

                              = $2,000

If selling price is reduced by 14% that is $68.8 which is (80×0.86) in anticipation of increase in sales by 14% that is 3192 units that is (2800×1.14) , then change in operating income is calculated below:

Total sales in dollars = 3192×68.8 = $219,610 (rounded)

Total variable costs = 3192×50 = $159,600

Fixed cost = $82,000

Operating income = Total sales - total variable cost - fixed cost

                              = 219,610 - 159,600 - 82,000

                              = -$21990.4

It can be observed that operating income reduced by $23,990 that is (2000 - (-21,990)) if selling price is decreased by 14%.

By the end of jane eyre, to what extent is jane now equal with rochester? what changes in each of their conditions account for t
Ostrovityanka [42]
It is possible to question Jane Eyre’s proto-feminism on the grounds that Jane only becomes Rochester’s full equal (as she claims to be in the novel’s epilogue-like last chapter) when he is physically infirm and dependent on her to guide him and read to him—in other words, when he is physically incapable of mastering her. However, it is also possible that Jane now finds herself Rochester’s equal not because of the decline Rochester has suffered but because of the autonomy that she has achieved by coming to know herself more fully.<span />
