Answer:

Indirect taxes

Explanation:

Indirect taxes are the taxes levied on transactions as opposed to direct taxes that are imposed on incomes. An indirect tax is added to the prices of goods and services and collected by the seller or retailer. The retailer acts as the tax intermediary and submits the taxes collected to the government.

Examples of Indirect taxes include excise duty tax, value-added tax, and sales tax. Gas attracts sales tax and road maintenance tax. These taxes increase the price of gas, making them indirect taxes.

Suppose an apartment complex converts to a condominium, so that the former renters are now owners of their housing units. Suppos

Lorico [155]

Answer:

GDP is likely to remain same as a result of this conversion.

Explanation:

GDP is the total value of goods & services, produced by an economy, during a given year.

It can be calculated by 2 methods

By Expenditure method : GDP = Private Final Capital Expenditure + Govt. Final Consumption Expenditure + Gross Domestic Capital Formation + Net Exports
By Income method : NDP = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus (Rent + Profit + Income) + Mixed Income

Given case - Converting a rented apartment into a resident owned condominium , with value of housing services = rent formerly paid :

This brings no change in the GDP, as : The apartment 'rent' previously paid was included in 'operating surplus' of national income, by Income method. And, the equal condominium value is now included in investment addition i.e 'Gross domestic capital formation' , by Income method.

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

ERIC: Hi, Hubert. This is my first economics course, and many of the concepts discussed in class are really confusing. Today the professor explained that the true cost of going to college includes both the tuition I pay as well as something called the "opportunity cost" of going to college. I don't understand. I pay $32,000 per year in tuition. The tuition is what I pay to the school, so it seems like that should be my true cost!

HUBERT: Hi, Eric. Many concepts in economics can be confusing at first. Let's talk it through.

Economists think of costs a bit differently than just the dollar amount that you pay. To an economist, the true cost of college includes the total value of what you give up in order to acquire your college education. In other words, not only did you give up the tuition money that you paid, but by attending college, you gave up opportunities to do other things with your time as well. This is where the idea of opportunity cost comes from.

The opportunity cost of your decision to go to college is the value of the next best alternative that you gave up. Suppose that your next best alternative to college is to work as a cashier. By not going to college, and taking this job, you could earn $16,000 per year. Then your opportunity cost of college is $16,000, and your total cost of a year of college is $48,000 per year.

ERIC: I think I get it now. So when I take into account the opportunity cost of college, the true cost is actually more than just the tuition.

HUBERT: Correct. Thinking about costs in this way will help you make more rational decisions in your everyday life. Now tell me, how can you explain your decision to go to college?

ERIC: I chose to go to college because, for me, the value of a year in college gives me a higher stand and offers me a better long-term opportunity that someone without a college degree.

Explanation:

The question poses a discussion about the opportunity cost of attending college. The understanding behind this is that by choosing to go to college, Eric is forfeiting the opportunity to get a job as a cashier that would earn him $16,000 a year while incurring his college fees of $32,000. Therefore, the total cost of attending college to him should be $48,000.
