The marginal tax rate is the rate paid on the last dollar of income; this would be whatever tax bracket the family is in. The average price is the total tax divided by the total revenue. </span><span>
Family A: </span><span>
</span><span>
total income $40,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), and $10,000 at 20% (tax of $2,000). The last rate paid is 20% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $4,000, divide that by $40,000 total income, that is the average rate. </span><span>
Family B: </span><span>
</span><span>
total income $100,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), $20,000 at 20% (tax of $4,000), $30,000 at 30% (tax of $9,000), and $20,000 at 40% (tax of $8,000). The last rate paid is 40% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $23,000, divide that by $100,000 total income, that is the average rate.</span>
Answer: c. $18,000
Explanation:
Provision for doubtful accounts estimate;
= 600,000 * 3%
= $18,000
This is the Percentage of sales method and it ignores the existing balance in the Provision for doubtful accounts using only the estimate provided.
Answer:
d.total factory overhead cost variance.
Explanation:
In manufacturing accounting, at the beginning of the period, manufacturing overheads (i.e. costs other than Direct Material and Direct Labor) has been applied to Work-in-process using a predetermined overhead rate. At the end of the period, if the manufacturing overhead account shows a debit balance, that signifies that overhead has been under-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>less </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period), and contrariwise if the manufacturing overhead account shows a credit balance, it means the overhead is over-applied (i.e. the manufacturing overhead cost applied to work in process is <u>more </u>than the actual manufacturing overhead cost for the period). In any case this balance warrants an adjustment to close out the books, by transferring it to the cost of goods sold account.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay and the price the consumer actually pays.
Explanation:
Consumer surplus arises from the law of diminishing returns. This means that the first unit to acquire we value it highly but as we acquire additional units our valuation falls. However, the price we pay for any unit is always the same: the market price. In this way, we enjoy a positive surplus of the first units we acquire until we reach the last one in which the surplus will be zero.
In graphic terms, consumer surplus is measured as the area below the market demand curve and above the price line. The demand curve measures the amount consumers are willing to pay for each unit consumed. Then, the total area below the demand curve reflects the total utility of consumption of the good or service. If the price we pay for each unit is subtracted from this area, the consumer surplus is obtained.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": be a straight line.
Explanation:
The Production Possibility Frontier (<em>PPF</em>) aims to determine what the maximum production would be using finite factors. Typically, the higher production of a good implies lowering the production of another. The PPF is represented by a graph with a vertical "X" axis and a horizontal "Y" axis for easiness in understanding.
Thus, if the factors for production were perfectly adaptable, the PPF curve will display a straight line in a graph.
