Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into

a city in the Northeast. She incurs $32,000 of expenses associated with this investigation. Based on the regulatory environment for hotels in the city, she decides not to expand. During the year, she also investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain. Her expenses for this are $51,800. She proceeds with opening the restaurant, and it begins operations on May 1.
Required:

Answer:

Henrietta

The amount that Henrietta can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses is:

= $83,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Investigation cost for expanding the chain into the Northeast = $32,000

Investigation cost for expanding the chain into another location= $51,800

Total investigation costs = $83,800

b) According to the IRS, for the investigation costs to be deductible, they "must be both ordinary and necessary."  "Ordinary" refers to common or acceptable expense in the Hotel industry, while "necessary" means the expense helps Henrietta's business in its pursuit of earning income (which a business expansion does).  Therefore, the total investigation cost is deductible.

A deadweight loss is a consequence of a tax on a good because the tax a. induces the government to increase its expenditures. b.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

B) induces buyers to consume less, and sellers to produce less.

Explanation:

Taxes are a necessary evil since they always increase the price of the goods and services that consumers buy and decrease the amount of money that producers receive from selling their goods and services. But taxes are necessary and unavoidable.

But once a market assumes all the effects of existing taxes it reaches an equilibrium price that both consumers and producers are satisfied with. If a new tax is levied than the deadweight losses are greater since consumer surplus and producer surplus are both reduced. This will lead to a reduction in the incentive that both consumers and producers have to engage in transactions. Many times consumers will substitute heavily taxed goods for other goods since they feel they are getting more from consuming those goods (consumer surplus). The same happens to producers, many producers will change their heavily taxed goods for other goods.

If the price elasticity of demand or supply of a certain good is large (elastic demand and supply), the deadweight loss will be greater.

Suppose portable radios can be imported at a world price of $10 per radio. If trade were unencumbered, what would the new market
Harman [31]

Answer:

Domestic demand: Q = 5,000 – 100P; Supply: Q = 150P

At equilibrium, demand equals supply.

5,000 – 100P = 150P

250P = 5,000

P = 5,000/250

Equilibrium price (P) = $20

Substituting P in demand equation:

Q = 5,000 – (100*20)

Equilibrium quantity (Q) = 3,000 portable radio would be imported
