The computation of operating income is shown below:-

Total costs if company bought = Cost of production × Outside supplier per unit) + (Fixed cost × Remaining percentage)

= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × (100% - 30%))

= (43,000 × $3.80) + ($68,000 × 70%)

= $163,400 + $47,600

= $211,000

Loss in Income if part is bought = Total costs if company bought - Total costs originally

= $211,000 - $140,000

= $71,000

Therefore, Making profit will be more by $71,000 and for computing the Loss in Income if part is bought we simply applied the above formula.

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge cola producers a tax. Before the tax, 50 billion cases of cola were sold ever

Georgia [21]

Answer:

U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:

The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.

The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.

a. True

b. False

Explanation:

The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5). However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5 to $2. This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).

This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.

"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone. This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit. Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.
