Taxes levied on the sale, manufacture or use of specific items such as liquor, cigarettes, and gasoline are known as selective sales taxes, as well as excise taxes.
So, there aren't taxes on a whole bunch of products, but rather on a selected few, which (in the case of alcohol and cigarettes) are considered detrimental to the society and thus people who want to use them have to pay a little bit more in order to have that commodity.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

D)determines the inventory on hand only at the end of the accounting period.

Explanation:

Due to the fact of inflation, change of prices over time, a periodic inventory system does not provide a better record over the cost of inventory because it is only determined once in the accounting period, usually at the end of it.

Meanwhile, a perpetual inventory system keeps a record showing the inventory at all time. That is every time a sale is made, cost of goods sold (cogs) is determined.

So if a business does not need to wait until the end of the accounting period to check (cogs), it is better to use a perpetual system.

An end-of-aisle price promotion changes the price elasticity of a good from −2 to −3. Suppose the normal price is $34, which equ

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

MC = $17

P = $25.5

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

Firstly calculate MC when e = -2, where MR = MC

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

Here P = $34 and e = -2

(34 - MC) / 34= 1/ I-2I

(34 - MC) / 34= 1 / 2

78-2MC = 34

2MC = 34

MC = 34/2

MC = 17

Now, as we have MC, we will calculate the new price when e = -3

(P-MC) / P = 1 / IeI

(P - 17) / P = 1 / I-3I

(P - 17) / P = 1 / 3

3P -51 = P

2P = 51

P = 51/2

P = 25.5
