Answer: decrease in efficiency / increase in equality

Explanation: Efficiency and Equality are two economic terms used to define the distribution of a countries wealth or resources. Efficiency describes how a country aims to manage its resources in other to attain maximum output while equality describes equal distribution of a nation's wealth. In the scenario above, if the country raises income taxes on the wealthiest Americans while increasing welfare payment to the poorest, this shows an idea of redistribution of wealth so that income from the wealthy is transferred to the poor by reducing the profit of the wealthy and raising the income of the poor. Now, these has an effect on the efficiency of the economy, with increased incentive and payment being offered to the poor and a decrease in the profit made by the wealthy due to increased taxes. The desire to put maximum effort to work reduces on the path of both, hence leading to a decrease in production of goods and services hence, decrease in efficiency

Answer:

loss from discontinued operation 450,000

Explanation:

when selling assets above the book value we have a gain:

1,200,000 - 1,000,000 = 200,000

For the gain on assets above book value we must pay taxes.

200,000 x (1-0.25) = 150,000

the income from discontinued operation plus this gain generated a component of 300,000 loss

150,000 gain on sale + income from discontinued = -300,000

discontinued result: -300,000 + -150,000 = -450,000

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Option A-The revenue must be recognized on 31 August.

Explanation:

The accrual concept says that the income must be recognized when they are earned not when the amount is received and expenses when they are incurred not when they are paid.

So according to accrual concept, the entity must deliver its share to recognize sales that is servicing the car. When the entity will service the car then it should recognize the revenue otherwise not. So in accrual basis accounting the date of payment is irrelevant for recognition of revenue and expenses.

Which of the following can explain the upward slope of the short-run aggregate supply curve? a. nominal wages are slow to adjust

Goryan [66]

Answer: A - nominal wages are slow to adjust to changing economic conditions

Explanation:

In the short run, the costs of many of the factors used in the production process are fixed. For example labours wage is fixed for a number of years because of labour contracts. Also the raw materials used in the production process have long term agreements that fix their prices.

As a result of factors of production been fixed in the short run, when general price level rises and the cost of production remains constant, profit also rises.

Firms take advantage of this rise in price and increase production and the quantity of aggregate supply increases. This is why the short run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping.
