Answer: You were charged $15.37 pre tax

Restaurant will pay $1.23 in sales taxes

Explanation:

We are going to have to use our trusted friend Algebra to solve this one.

In calculating the amount paid for the lunch without any taxes we will say that "x" is the amount that you paid without taxes. Putting it in an equation would be,

16.60 = x * 1.08

16.60 = 1.08x

x = 16.60/ 1.08

= 15.37

You were charged $15.37 without taxes.

To calculate how much the restaurant is to pay in taxes you can just subtract the post tax and pre tax figures which would be,

= 16.6 - 15.37

= $1.23

Restaurant will pay $1.23 in taxes.

liraira [26]
Given:
net sales = 53,404,000,000
Average total assets = 16,302,000,000

Total asset turnover is calculated by divided net sales by the average total assets.

Total asset turnover = net sales / average total assets 
T.A.O = 53,404,000,000 / 16,302,000,000
T.A.O = 3.2759 OR 3.3

The total asset turnover indicates the company's ability to efficiently deploy its asset in generating revenue.

kherson [118]

Answer:

Yes, they need to increase Upper L which would cause MP Subscript Upper L to decrease and MP Subscript Upper C to increase.

Explanation:

In the specific problem outlined above, the company wants to maximize its revenue and ensure that the production cost is as low as possible for the given quantity of land, cement and the available labor. In order to ensure that this is possible, the company must try to increase the upper L so that there would be an increase in MP (subscript upper C) and a decrease in MP (subscript upper L).

Use the hypothetical data in the table to answer the questions.
nalin [4]

Solution:

1. The average snowfall in cincinnati over this period was 28 inches.

In the city cincinnati, snowfall (inches) in january and february is 18 and 38 respectively :

                   Average snowfall = {18+38}/{2} = 28 inches    

2. If the march data on snowfall is above the average (i.e 28 inches), The monthly average will rise.

If the march data on snowfall is above the average snowfall in January and February (i.e 28 inches), the monthly average will rise because, any snowfall data in march which is greater than 28 inches will lead to rise in monthly average.

For e.g  , suppose, If we consider snowfall (inches) in march is 30 inches, than monthly average is :

Monthly average snowfall= {18+38+31} / {3}= 29 inches

which is greater than 28 inches.

Therefore, If the march data on snowfall is above the average (i.e 28 inches), The monthly average will rise.

Use the following information to answer the next question. Harvey quit his job at State University where he earned $45,000 a yea
algol [13]

Answer: Option(a) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Revenue = Units sold × price per unit sold

                        = 11,000 × $75

                        = $825,000

Explicit cost = Units sold × cost per unit

                    = 11,000 × $55

                    = $605,000

Implicit cost = Earning at state university + Entrepreneurial talent + cash bonds at 10% interest

                    = $45000 + $5,000 + ($100,000 × 10%)

                    = $60,000

Economic profits = Total Revenue - (Explicit cost + Implicit cost)

                            = $825,000 - ($605,000 + $60,000)

                            = $825,000 - $665,000

                            = $160,000
