Answer:
A. There is a tax rate at which tax revenues are maximized.
Explanation:
By Laffer Curve definition we can easily understand the relationship between tax rate and tax revenues. It was developed by Arthur Laffer. The Laffer Curve describes that:
- with an optimal tax rate government maximizes total tax revenues

- at the left side of the curve higher tax rates decrease the incentive to work and invest. As a result this leads to to decrease in total tax revenue.

Explanation:
When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.
But here, the parent company uses, initial value method for internal reporting.
Under initial value method the value of investment in subsidiary is recorded at cost, and then adjusted at year end at fair value, this clearly shows the gain or loss at each year end from such investment as per market norms.
There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.
The correct reason therefore, is:
It is a relatively easy method to apply.
Answer: $109.3 per machine hour
Explanation: We can compute total production engineering cost per hour by using following equation :-
but first we need to calculate variable cost at 9600 hours :-
= $856,320
now,
=$109.3 per machine hour
The interest per year for $5,000 to become $9,110 after 30 years is 2.02% compounded continuously.
Answer:
Net Increase in cash = $124,200
Explanation:
Note: The correct value for Year 2021 inventory is $510,300 not $10,300.
Also note: See the attached excel file for the statement of cash flows for 2022.
In the attached excel file, the following workings are used:
Workings:
w.1: Increase in accounts receivable = Account receivable in 2022 - Account receivable in 2021 = $237,600 - $205,200 = $32,400
w.2: Decrease in inventory = Inventory in 2022 - Inventory in 2021 = $450,900 - $510,300 = -$59,400
w.3: Decrease in accounts payable = Accounts receivable 2022 - Accounts receivable 2021 = $105,300 - $116,100 = -$10,800
w.4: Disposal of land = Land in 2021 - Land in 2022 = $270,000 - $216,000 = $54,000
w.5: Purchase of equipment = Equipment in 2022 - Equipment in 2021 = $702,000 - $540,000 = $162,000
