Answer:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $3 per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $2 per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on producers.
Explanation:
The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is $5 ($3 + $2).
The burden on consumers is $3 ($9 - $6), which is the difference between the after-tax purchase price and the before-tax purchase price for consumers. This implies that the burden passed to consumers is $3 out of the total tax burden of $5.
The burden on producers is $2 ($6 - $4) which represents the difference between before-tax selling price and the after-tax selling price for the producers. This means that the burden passed to producers is $2 out of the total tax burden of $5.
If the tax burden were passed to the producers alone, the selling price would have been more than $11 ($6 + 5). This would have reduced demand for wine as consumers would have been forced to bear the total burden. This would have made the tax unequitable. This would have been the case unless demand is inelastic. That means that the total demanded is not sensitive to price increases.

Answer:
the average unit cost: $7.917
Explanation:
I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.
<em>In its first month of operations, McLanie Company made three purchases of merchandise in the following sequence: (1) 300 units at $6, (2) 400 units at $8, and (3) 500 units at $9. Assuming there are 200 units on hand at the end of the period. Calculate average unit cost. (Round answers to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)</em>
My answer:
Given:
- 1) 300 units at $6, (2) 400 units at $8, and (3) 500 units at $9.
<=> Total units = 300 + 400 + 500 = 1200 units
<=> Total cost: 300*$6 + 400*$8 + 500*$9
= $1,800 + $3,200 + $4,500
= $9500
- As we know that, the average unit cost:
= Total cost / total units
=$9,500 ÷ 1,200 = $7.917
Hope it will find you well.

Answer:
2,060 units
Explanation:
As we know thestock policy of the firm is the ending inventory for each month should be the 30 % of the next month's sales
In the case of february, following this policy:
- Starting inventory: is the same of ending inventory of the previous month: 0,3*2,000 (February´s sales) units= 600 units.
- Ending inventory= 0,3*2,200 (March´s sales) units= 660 units
Also, Ending Inventory (EI) is the result of the sum of Starting Inventory (SI) and February Purchases (P) minus February Sales (S)
We want to know P ( units Purchased), so:
P= EI-SI+S= 660-600+2,000=2060 units
Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Initial Quantity supplied = 10,000
New quantity supplied = 15,000
Initial price = $5
Price elasticity of demand = 1.8
Percentage change in quantity supplied:
= [(New quantity supplied - Initial Quantity supplied) ÷ Initial Quantity supplied] × 100
= [(15,000 - 10,000) ÷ 10,000] × 100
= (5,000 ÷ 10,000) × 100
= 50%
Let the new price be x,
Percentage change in price:
= [(New price - Initial price) ÷ Initial price] × 100
= [(x - $5) ÷ $5] × 100
= (x - 5) × 20
= 20x - 100
Therefore,
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ Percentage change in price
1.8 = 50 ÷ (20x - 100)
1.8 (20x - 100) = 50
36x - 180 = 50
36x = 230
x = 5
Hence, the new price per pound of walnuts is $5.
