Answer:
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
A substantial understatement may occur when tax return is understated by an amount greater than 10% of the tax required to be shown on the tax return.
Example: If a tax payer that is suppose to report a $6000 tax due and choose to report a $2000 instead, to know if a penalty will be charged or not it has to be greater than 10% of the amount which is suppose to be reported (i.e $6000 x 10% = 600) . therefore in the case shown above the penalty will be applied
Answer:
U-shaped
Explanation:
Since the marginal product of labor is decreasing, the average variable costs and marginal costs will be increasing at all points, but the average fixed costs will be decreasing. That is why the average total costs (which includes both variable and fixed costs per unit) will be U-shaped since they will fall at the beginning when the decrease in marginal product of labor is small, bu then will increase as the marginal product of labor falls even more.
Answer:
Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%
Explanation:
marginal tax rate = MTR
After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%
The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%
Therefore,
6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)
6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR
6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR
-0.051 = -0.12*MTR
MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425
MTR = 42.5%
Yes. Subsidies are benefits that the government can grant to institutions, households and businesses to promote economic efficiency and reduce market failures. They may be distributed through cash or by cutting tax rates. However, there is controversy about the effectiveness of using subsidies for the economy, often related to the inefficiency of promoting a free market, allocating resources that could be used for investment in productive resources and masking the results of economic efficiency. Another major concern with the use of subsidies is the formation of political alliances of those who receive them and those who provide them, creating political interests because of their use.
Answer:
6.78%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total return i.e nominal rate = 15% = 0.15
Real return = 7.7% = 0.077
Now,
Inflation rate = 
- 1
on substituting the respective values, we get
Inflation rate = 
- 1
or
Inflation rate = [ 1.15 ÷ 1.077 ] - 1
or
Inflation rate = 0.0678
or
Inflation rate = 0.0678 × 100% = 6.78%
