16. According to data from the U.S. Department of Energy, sales of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius hybrid fell from 194,108 vehi

cles sold in 2014 to 180,603 in 2015. Over the same period, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the average price of regular gasoline fell from $3.36 to $2.43 per gallon. Using the midpoint method, calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand between Toyota Prii (the official plural of "Prius" is "Prii") and regular gasoline. According to your estimate of the cross-price elasticity, are the two goods complements or substitutes? Does your answer make sense?

Answer:

0.22 and substitutes goods

Explanation:

The computation of the cross-price elasticity of demand using mid point formula is shown below:

= (change in quantity demanded ÷ average of quantity demanded) ÷ (percentage change in price ÷ average of price)  

where,  

Change in quantity demanded is

= Q2 - Q1

= 180,603 - 194,108

= -13,505

And, the average of quantity demanded is

= (180,603 + 194,108) ÷ 2

= 187,356

Change in price is

= P2 - P1

= $2.43 - $3.36

= -$0.93

And, the average of price is

= ($2.43 + $3.36) ÷ 2

= 2.895

So, after solving this, the cross - price elasticity is 0.22

Since the cross - price elasticity is positive that reflect the goods are substitutes to each other

Thomas purchased 200 shares of stock A for ​$23 a share and sold them more than a year later for $ 19 per share. Be purchased 60
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Capital gain tax = $1,540.

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

For stocks of A  

Profit = (selling price - purchasing price) × units

= ($19 - $23) × 200

= -$800

For stocks of B  

Profit = ($57-$41) × 600

= $9,600

Total profit = profit for stock A + profit for stock B  

= -$800 + $9,600

= $8,800

Therefore, capital gain for both year = $8,800

Tax rate = 35%

Capital gain tax = Capital gain × Tax rate

= $8,800 × 35%

=$3,080

As share holds for more than a year,

So, Capital gain tax = $3,080 ÷ 2 = $1,540.

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Foreign tax credit allowable is the minimum of Federal Income Tax and Income tax paid in foreign country. Here, Jimenez had paid 40% (2,000,000/5,000,000) income tax in foreign country. So. Jimenez will only be eligible to take foreign tax credit of 1,050,000 i.e. 5,000,000 * 21% and there will be carryover of $950,000 (2,000,000 - 1,050,000) foreign taxes.

There is carryover tax when we cannot use the whole amount of foreign tax credit in the current year and the balance foreign tax is carried over to future years.

The contrary is true for assets

first T-account

.a) <u>Assets              |         Liabilities</u>

Reserve: +$2000        Deposit: +$2000

b)

<u>Assets                |        Liabilities</u>

Reserve $400        Deposit=+$2000

Loans: .+$1600         

Where required reserve ratio is 20% ie 0.02 x 2000= $400

The bank will keep $400 as reserve and can only loan out $1600

Deposited in another bank as

<u>Assets                |        Liabilities</u>
