Answer:

a. more deadweight loss and less revenue

Explanation:

Sales tax increases the price of a good or service.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

If a sales tax is imposed on a good or service, the price of the good would increase and become more expensive. This would lead to a fall in quantity demanded and an increase in deadweight loss and a loss of revenue.

Answer:

1) $0.27 per loaf of bread

2) $0.28 per loaf of bread

3) 3.7%

Explanation:

current production = 1,800 loaves per month

current labor expense = $8 per hour

constant utility cost = $800

ingredients per loaf = $0.40

multi-factor productivity = total output / (labor + materials + overhead)

current multi-factor productivity = 1,800 loaves / ($5,120 + $800 + $720) = $0.27 per loaf of bread

new output level = 1,800 x 1.35 = 2,430 loaves

new multi-factor productivity = 2,430 loaves / ($6,912 + $800 + $972) = $0.28 per loaf of bread

% increase = ($0.28 - $0.27) / $0.27 = 3.7%

Answer:

The conversion cost per equivalent unit is $3.31

Explanation:

The computation of the conversion cost per equivalent unit is shown below:

= Total conversion costs ÷ Total equivalent units

where,

Total conversion cost = completed units + Conversion costs during April

= $6,000 + $35,000

= $41,000

And, the total equivalents units equal to

= Finished good units × percentage of completion + ending work in process units × percentage of completion

= 11,500 units × 100% + 1,500 units × 60%

= 11,500 units + 900 units

= 12,400 units

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the per unit would equal to

= $41,000 ÷ 12,400 units

= $3.31 per unit
