Although there are some clear disadvantages associated with extending credit to customers, such as bad debt costs, most managers

Answer:

The primary advantage they refer to is additional sales revenue.

Explanation:

Extending credit to customers is generally done through use of credit cards these days. This does allow the customers to buy goods and services on credit and pay later for those goods.

Offering credit is beneficial for both the shopkeepers or merchants and the buyers. Customers do not have to pay cash (as they can run out of cash at times), so they buy more and this increases the sales revenue for the merchants, which becomes the primary advantage for them and outweighs the costs.

Jurisdiction E spends approximately $7 million each winter on snow removal. The jurisdiction is considering adding a new income
frez [133]

Answer:

'Taxes' can be defined as a compulsory contribution to the state's or country's revenues, which are levied by the governments on personal incomes of individuals or profits of the corporate, or on some transactions.

Taxes are the main source of revenues for any government, through which it receives the necessary funds to spend on various activities it undertakes for public welfare and maintaining the law and order and security of the nation.

Many theorists believe that every tax should be evaluated on certain standards and the following four standards have been mentioned for evaluating whether taxes are good or not:

  1. Taxes should be sufficient to fulfill the government's requirements
  2. Taxes should be convenient for the government to implement and for the citizens to pay
  3. Taxes should be efficient economically
  4. Taxes should be fair

There may be certain provisions introduced in the federal tax system, which are targeted to induce certain behaviors or shift people's attention towards certain activities. These provisions are called tax preferences

Does this proposed change in Jurisdiction E's tax law meet the definition of a tax preference? Explain briefly.

In the given question, the decision of the jurisdiction to give deduction to the people for the snow removal equipment they purchase, is definitely a tax preference as it induces people to invest in snow removing machines, as they are getting full deduction of such expense in income taxes.

By having this provision, the government is motivating people to invest in these machines, and people also have the benefit of having such machine with them, and also getting tax deduction for such expense, so getting such machine almost free (this applies to people who have incomes in such tax bracket only). Thus it is the way of government in encouraging people to buy snow removing machines and reduce the burden on the government. Thus it is clearly a tax preference.

Jurisdiction E forecasts that the proposed change will decrease its annual tax revenues by $250,000 but will improve the jurisdiction's financial condition by $300,000. On what assumptions is this forecast based?

The forecast regarding decrease in annual tax and improvement in financial condition is based on the assumptions of people taking benefit of such a provision, and actually investing in snow removing machines.

The jurisdiction believes that people will purchase the machines and make claims for deductions, effecting the tax revenue by $250,000. But at the same time, as many people will themselves remove the snow, the government doesn't have to spend so much on snow removal and thus make the savings of $300,000

Burka [1]

Answer:

$88,920  

Explanation:

capitalized interest = weighted average accumulated expenditure for the year x interest rate of the loan = $889,200 x 10% = $88,920

Capitalized interest can be added to the basis of the new building that is being constructed. This way, the building's depreciable value will increase.

The Morrow Company has assembled the following data pertaining to certain costs that cannot be easily identified as either fixed
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$39,800

Explanation:

From the question above Morrow company has decided to use the measuring cost function method to find its total cost

- $68,400 is the highest cost and $37,600 is the lowest cost

- 6,000 is the highest number of hours and 3,200 is the lowest

The first step is to calculate the cost driver. Let's use the alphabet c to represent the cost driver

(68,400-37,600) / (6,000-3,200)

c = 30,800/2,800

c= $11

Cost driver= $11

The next step is to find the fixed cost. Let's use the alphabet f to represent the fixed cost

68,400= f + ( 11×6000)

68,400= f + 66,000

f= 68,400-66,000

f= $2,400

Fixed cost= $2,400

The final step is to calculate the cost function

Cost function= fixed costs+variable costs×number of units

Fixed cost= $2,400

Variable cost= $11

Number of units= 3,400 hours

= 2,400+(11×3,400)

= 2,400+ 37,400

= $39,800

Hence the total cost at an operating level of 3,400 hours is $39,800

Under the First Amendment, commercial speech is:
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: subject to intermediate scrutiny unlike political speech.

Explanation:

On the one hand, the <em>First Amendment to the United States Constitution</em> is the law that basically protects the rights of the people to have a free speech and moreover, establishes that the government can not intervene in an establishment of religion and prohibits the free exercise of religion.

On the other hand, the <em>Commercial Speech</em> under the First Amendment is seen as a particular case of speech due to the fact that this one can be harmful for the people and therefore can be fraudulent to them and in order to prevent that from happening the First Amendment does not protect so much the commercial speech and this last one is far more regulate it by the government than political speech.
