Answer:
a. $2,600,000
b. $2,500,000
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The additional revenue raised by State A is
= Revenue after applying the tax rate - initial revenue after applying the tax rate
where,
Initial revenue after applying the tax rate = $800 million × 5% = $40 million
And, the Revenue increased after applying the tax rate is
= $710 million × 6%
= $42.6 million
So, the additional revenue is
= $42.6 million - $40 million
= $2,600,000
b. The additional revenue raised by State Z is
= Sales tax rate × service volume
= 5% × $50 million
= $2,500,000
Answer: Decline
Explanation:
If U.S. goods fall in quality, less people will demand the goods which will lead to a fall in U.S. exports.
As U.S. goods are denominated in dollars, a fall in the demand for US exports is akin to a fall in demand for the US dollar.
The US dollar gets weaker so the exports at every exchange rate will fall.
Net exports is calculated by subtracting imports from exports so net exports will decline as a result of exports falling.
Answer:
Amount paid for goodwill=5.3 million
Explanation:
The expression for calculating goodwill is given by;
Goodwill = Consideration paid– Fair value of net identifiable assets
where;
Consideration paid=$12.5 million
Fair value of net identifiable assets=Midwest's assets-Midwest's liabilities
Midwest's assets=$8.5 million
Midwest's liabilities=$1.3 million
Fair value of net identifiable assets=(8.5 M-1.3 M)=7.2 million
Replace in the expression below;
Goodwill = Consideration paid– Fair value of net identifiable assets
Goodwill=12.5 M-7.2 M
Goodwill=5.3 million
Answer:
A) NPV= - $428,888.89 B) Company would break Even if g = 5.68%
Explanation:
Hi, we have to bring to present value all the inflows and outflows of cash, this is the formula to use and the math of it.


The question says that "at what constant growth rate would the company just break even..." and well, a NPV=0 is not precisely break even, actually, it means that the company is obtaining exactly what is asking for any investment, but let´s assume that the question was, what should the growth rate be for the company to accept this project?. So we have to solve the first equation for "g", that is:

So the constant growth rate has to be at least 5.68% for the company to accept this project (NPV=0)
Best of luck
