Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine producers a tax. Before the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We were informed from the question that;

BEFORE; the tax, 30,000 bottles of wine were sold every week at a price of $4 per bottle.

AFTER; After the tax, 25,000 bottles of wine are sold every week; consumers pay $6 per bottle and producers receive $3 per bottle (after paying the tax).

✓✓The amount of tax on wine = $6 - $3 = $3 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on consumers = The amount paid after tax - The amount paid before tax

= $6 - $4

=$2 per bottle

✓✓The tax burden on Producers = Price received before tax - price received after tax

= $4 - $3

=$1 per bottle

Hence, The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $3 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $2 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $1 per bottle.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on consumers(FALSE)

This is false, since the The tax burden on Producers is $1 per bottle while that of The tax burden on consumer is $2 per bottle.

The gives $400000 cash from stockholders minus dividends of $159000

Operating cash flow

Net income                                    $0

add interest                                   $101000

Reduction in net working capital $139000

If it could increase its growth rates slightly, a country with low income would catch up with rich countries in about ten years.
SOVA2 [1]
That statement is false.

In order to catch up with rich countries, a country with low income probably need to maintain more than 100% growth rate in about 10 years.
Because if the country only increases its growth rates slightly, the rich countries may grow even further during that period.
