Answer:
U.S. Tax Burden on Cola:
The amount of the tax on a case of cola is $4 per case. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is $1 per case, and the burden that falls on producers is ___$3______ per case.
The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers.
a. True
b. False
Explanation:
The tax burden on consumers, which is represented by the difference in the price of cola from $5 to $6 per unit is $1 ($6 - $5). However, the cash received by producers reduced by $3 from $5 to $2. This shows that the total tax burden on both consumers and producers is $4 ($1 + $3).
This represents a total tax burden of $4 or about 67% based on the new selling price of cola or 80% based on the old selling price of cola.
"The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been larger if the tax had been levied on consumers alone. This because the price of cola would have increased to $9 per unit. Since the demand for cola in this instance is elastic, this change in price would have caused a more than 80% change in the quantity demanded.
Available Options Are:
a. Cost of Goods Sold
b. Net Profit Margin
c. None of these
d. Asset Turnover
Answer:
Option B. Net Profit Margin
Explanation:
The increase or decrease in cost of Goods sold can not tell whether the return on assets has increased or decreased becuase it would only tell that the expense are decreased or increased not the profit. Which means it only tells one side of the story hence Option A is incorrect.
Option B is correct because it talks about the profit. If the manufacturing cost has been decreased then the it must increase the profit. Because if the profits has increased then the return on asset will increase. Hence the Option B is correct here.
Option D is incorrect because asset turnover formula is:
Asset Turnover = Sales / Total Assets
The decrease in manufacturing cost will not increase the sales because sales and total assets are independent of manufacturing expenses hence the Option D is incorrect.
The best thing that you should do in this scenario would be :
- Gather as much as information as you can regarding the issue (maybe by asking input from your associates)
- analyze the issue completely thoroughly
- Believe in yourself and create the best decision based on your analytic
hope this helps
Answer:
These are the options for the question:
A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.
B. They should be more willing to tear down the $50 million stadium, because it cost more to build.
C. The cost to build the old stadium shouldn’t be considered.
And this is the correct answer:
A. They should be more willing to tear down the $5 million stadium, because it cost less to build.
Explanation:
City A will likely be more willing to tear down its old stadium because it costed $5 million to build. City B, on the other hand, will have to think twice because a stadium that costed $50 billion to build could have more value than it seems, or the City could simply not have enough money to build a better new stadium (something that would probably cost more than $50 billion to do).
