Mia and Allen, married with two teenage sons, both work. They have read Dave’s books, finished a beginner emergency fund, establ

ished a budget, and are working on their debt snowball. Both claim no dependents and take extra money out of their checks. Then in April, when they see how much they’ll get back, they celebrate! It’s like “found” money! They use that windfall for a lavish family vacation every summer. You told them that was all wrong. They asked why. Explain yourself.

Answer:

First of all, they are losing money for claiming no dependents.

  • They could claim up to $2,000 per child with the child tax credit (for children under 16).
  • The child and dependent care tax credit also allows parents to deduct qualifying expenses up to $3,000 per child under 13, and up to $500 for children 13 to 18.

Besides paying too many taxes, they are also using their payroll taxes as a savings fund. The problem with this savings fund is that it earns no interest. If instead of getting extra money debited from their paycheck, they could invest that money on a savings account or some type on short time deposit and their money would increase due to earned interest.

The fact that they use their extra money for vacations is a personal decision, and they can freely decide what to do with their savings. I can only tell them to save in a smarter and more efficient way.

In long-run equilibrium with trade, losses from import competition will force some firms to ______________, increasing demand fo
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

In an open economy, domestic firms have to face competition from the foreign producers. If firms face losses in the long run, because of import competition, these firms will leave the industry.

As the number of domestic firms get reduced, the demand curve of the other firms will become flatter. This happens because of the foreign firms that bring in a large variety of goods in the domestic market.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

The items that describes what happens at the equilibrium price are:


Producers supply the exact goods that consumers buy.

Consumers have enough goods, at the given price.

Producers used their resources efficiently.

Equilibrium pricing is when the items demanded match the items supplied. When this happens, the demand and good available equal each other, hence, equilibrium. The pricing is exactly where it should be for consumers to want and purchase the good or service.

A company is considering two projects.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Project 1:

Initial investment = $120,000

Cash inflow Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 = $40,000

Hence,

Annual cash flow = $40,000

Payback period:

= Initial investment ÷ annual cash inflow

= $120,000 ÷ $40,000

= 3 years

Therefore, the payback period for Project I is 3 years.
