Complete Question:

The supply and demand for widgets are given by the following equations: Q = 2,000 - 300P QS = -100 +100P A. where P=price per widget and QD and Qs are the quantities of widgets demanded and supplied. Suppose that a $2 per widget tax is levied on the sellers of widgets. How much revenue is collected from this tax on widgets?

Answer:

The revenue collected from this tax on widgets is

$4,200 (2,100 * $2)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

The demand for widget = Qd = 2000-300P

The supply for widget = Qs = -100+100P

At equilibrium, the price before tax can be calculated as follows:

Qd = Qs --this is the equilibrium condition

Therefore, 2000-300P = -100+100P

or 2000 + 100 = 300P + 100P

that is 2100 = 400P

or 400P = 2100

Therefore, P = 2100/400

Price per unit = $5.25

The revenue collected from this tax on widgets = $2 * 2,100 = $4,200

b) Since the widget tax is levied on the sellers, it implies that the revenue collected from the widget tax will total $4,200 based on the equilibrium quantity of 2,100 widgets.

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The ethical principles in business are not much different from the ethical principle in general. They are not separately based on some other special rules to judge business conduct. They are judged from the society's perspective of right and wrong.

There are two schools of ethical principles, namely, ethical universalism and ethical relativism. Universalism believe that the concept of right and wrong are universal. While, on the other hand, relativism school believes that they vary according to local customs.

Though universal ethical principles from different societies form a kind of informal contract that all individuals and organizations have to follow.

Failure to observe these principles not only corrode company's reputation but have also other adverse effects and costs involved.
