In recent years, a number of cities have passed taxes on carbonated sodas to help reduce obesity and to raise tax revenues. An article in the New York Times observes that: "With that public momentum, a soda tax may be coming to a city near you. Source: Anahad O'Connor and Margot Sanger-Katznov, "As Soda Taxes Gain Wider Acceptance, Your Bottle May Be Next," New York Times, November 26, 2016 If this forecast is correct, is the demand for premium bottled water Ekely to increase or decrease? Briefly explain
A. Decrease, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are complements.
B· Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.
C. Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are complements.
D. Decrease, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. Increase, because premium bottled water and carbonated sodas are substitutes.

Explanation:

The compliments are used together no apart. The example includes Tennis Balls and Rackets, automobile and petrol, etc. It means that they are compulsory for each other and their existence is dependent on the other. No one will buy tennis rackets if they don't have access to tennis ball.

On the other hand, substitute means that you have an alternative thing which will fulfill you needs. If the weather is hot and you don't have access to cold drinks then you can drink juice or cold water. Substitute fulfills our desires if we can't access the desired items.

Now coming back to question, the tax on carbonated water will increase the price of Soda which means its demand will decrease and people try substitutes. The substitute is either water or juice. If the coffee is 5 times expensive than tea then you will choose tea not coffee. Hence the demand of bottled water and juices will go up.

Hence the option B is correct here.

a) $6,500
b) $13,000
c) $19,500
d) $26,000

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Simple. It looks hard but it is simple.

Just take 6.5k, and multiply it by 4 (quarterly), and you get 26K.

Any questions?

The total tax liability for the year is $26,000. Thus, the correct answer is option d.

What is a tax liability?

Tax liability is the payment owed by an individual, business, or other entity to a federal, state, or local tax authority.

The tax liability for the year is calculated as-

The first quarter payment is $6,500

The total quarter in a year is 4.

Assuming equal quarterly payments, the tax bill for the year :

$6,500× 4 = $26,000

Therefore, the total tax bill for the year if they were equal quarterly payments is $26,000.

Answers

Answer:

Change in COGS= $78,000 increase

Explanation:

We know that to calculate the cost of goods sold, we use the following formula:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

If the beginning inventory is understated, it will increase the value of COGS.

If the ending inventory is overstated, the COGS  increase.

Change in COGS= 26,000 + 52,000

Change in COGS= $78,000 increase

Recall the text’s definition of diminishing marginal utility: "the common pattern that each marginal unit of a good consumed provides less of an addition to utility than the previous unit." The reason for this behavior is because of biology. Our body sends our brains a signal once too much of a good or service has been consumed. This prevents a person from literally eating until they explode. In your own experience, share two times instances where the law of diminishing marginal utility applied to you. Can you think of any time when the law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone? Please answer in 150 words or more. Use your own words - please do not copy and paste from a web site. Be sure to reference your sources.

Answers

Explanation:

Note, the term diminishing marginal utility refers to an economic principle that states that the more unit of a particular commodity or service we consume, the more the satisfaction (utility) derived out of the consumption reduces or diminishes.

For instance, if I watched movies produced by a particular entertainment company for several days (eg Disney Studios), I may become dissatisfied using this particular entertainment provider and may decide to try another service (Netflix).

Another instance could occur after exercising, I'm given 3 bottles of coke, after taking my first bottle, the amount of utility I derive would reduce until I get to the third bottle, at this point I've reached my peak.

The law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone I know who had used the same type of toothpaste and brushed her teeth at least once a day for a period of over 10 years.

through April, but a positive cash flow of $1,000.00 per month (after expenses) from May through
December, on what dollar amount will they determine their income taxes? What expenses could be
used for tax deductions?

Answers

Answer:

1. They have a negative cash flow.

Because their net operating activities is not breaking even, in other words, they are losing money.

2.Omar and Janet should reduce the budget for labor

The labor budget for Janet and Omar is $1000, approximately 57 percent of their total cost. Labor costs are 62 percent of the total income earned. This indicates that Janet and Omar's labor budget is on the upper side.

As a rule of thumb, labor should range between 25 to 35 percent of the totals costs. Another school of thought suggests that labor should not exceed 30 percent of total revenue. For Janet and Omar to be profitable, they must revise their budget downwards. The ideal labor cost should be below $400.

3. Review labor costs downwards.

4. They will determine their income taxes based on their positive cash flow of $1,000.00 per month. This is because this cash flow spans across more months than their negative cash flow of -$150.00 per month. Expenses that could be used for their tax deductions is sales tax.

Assembly= 14*180= 2,520

Setup= 46*21= 966

Inspecting= 26*119= 3,094

Production scheduling= 14*16= 224

Purchasing= 8*90= 720

Total allocate cost= $30,066

Unitary cost= 30,066/268= $112.19

Treadmills:

Fabrication= 34*415= 14,110

Assembly= 14*78= 1,092

Setup= 46*9= 414

Inspecting= 26*181= 4,706

Production scheduling= 14*9= 126

Purchasing= 8*50= 400

Total allocate cost= $20,848

Unitary cost= 20,848/134= $155.58

Round your answer to three decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations.__________ %

CALCULATION PART

what nominal interest rate will they charge their customers?

Effective annual rate= (1+nominal rate/n)^n -1)

n= compounding period

Effective annual rate=[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

[(1+0.06/2)^2 -1]

= (1+0.03)^2 -1

=1.0609-1

=0.0609

= 6.09%

They will charge it 6.09%

There are four quarter in a year which means n=4

Let the nominal rate = x

Using the effective annual rate formula

0.0609=[ (1+x/4)^4 -1]

0.0609+1= (1+x/4)^4

(1.0609)^1/4 = 1+x/4

1.01489= 1+x/4

1.01489-1= x/4

x= 0.01489×4

x= 0.05956×100

x= 5.956%

Hence, effective annual rate for the both banks is 6.09%

While nominal annual rate for bank2 is 5.956%

If the newly created firm starts offering lower prices due to it being more efficient, the effect would be that the other companies would be forced to become efficient so as to lower their prices as well thereby increasing competition in the market.

What are the economic problems
typically facing developing nations
like Malaguena?

Answers

Answer:

Developing countries were hit hard by the financial and economic crisis, although the impact was somewhat delayed. Every country had different challenges to master. The closer the developing countries are interconnected with the world economy, the crasser the effects. And the incipient recovery that is becoming noticeable is, for the time being, restricted to only a few countries and regions.

The crisis was transmitted primarily by trade and financial flows forcing millions back into poverty. Attainment of the Millennium Development Goals is seriously jeopardised in many countries. Many developing countries did not and do not have the resources to stimulate the economy and protect their socially disadvantaged populations to the same extent as the industrialised countries. However, many countries have made considerable efforts to mitigate the effects. Developing countries have also increased their cooperation with one another and are urgently demanding a greater voice in global economic affairs.

Explanation:

Answer:

Economic problems in the developing world include corruption, poor infrastructure, lack of skilled labor, political instability, weak protection of intellectual rights, and the possibility of contacts being canceled on a whim. Relatively few people have reaped the rewards of economic prosperity.

On September 1 of the current year,Scots Company experienced a flood that destroyed the company's entire inventory.Because the company had not completed its month end reporting for August,it must estimate the amount of inventory lost using the gross profit method.At the beginning of August,the company reported beginning inventory of $215,450.Inventory purchased during August was $192,530.Sales for the month of August were $542,500.Assuming the company's typical gross profit ratio is 40%,estimate the amount of inventory destroyed in the flood.A) $87,480B) $134,520C) $109,980D) $82,480E) $81,480

Answers

Answer:

D) $82,480

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of inventory destroyed is shown below:-

Cost of Goods available for sale

= Beginning Inventory + Inventory purchased

= $215,450 + $192,530

= $407,980

Cost of Goods Sold = Sales - Gross profit

= $542,500 - ($542,500 × 40%)

= $325,500

The Estimated amount of inventory destroyed

= Cost of Goods available for sale  - Cost of goods sold

= $407,980 - $325,500

= $82,480

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 5 sentences at least.
You are the president of the American Association of Construction Manufacturers (AACM), a trade association that represents seven hundred companies who build and sell heavy construction equipment. Members have proposed a number of initiatives to advance AACM interests. First, some members want an AACM advocacy group to lobby Congress for relaxing trade barriers on importing raw materials and parts. Second, some of the smaller AACM members want an advertising campaign promoting the importance of the AACM in order to increase small firm membership. Third, some members propose to segregate regions of the United States into sales territories, whereby only certain members have access to certain customers within a geographic area. Fourth, a group of socially conscious AACM firms want its members to boycott a large supplier that sources from nations with poor human rights records. Evaluate the business and legal (antitrust) implications of each of these proposals.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

1. Business implication: if there are no trade barriers, it would enable them get better raw materials for their business and increase customer base

Legal anti trust implication: lobbying is illegal in some countries

2. Business implication: this would attract more manufacturers who were not previously members of the association which would in turn promote the goals of the association in improving trade amongst the manufacturers

Legal anti trust implication: associatio may be exposed to legal examination, example increased regulations

3 business implications:sales territories would invariably create a safe and secure investment for manufacturers such that there is less cost of marketing and campaigning as consumers are guaranteed

Legal implications: this is against anti trust laws and goes against free trade policies and illegal monopoly

4 business implications: boycotting this supplier could create an alternative source of raw materials which wouldn't be as efficient and even cost more

Legal implications: boycotting a large supplier such as this who might have a political backing might bring political retaliations from the supplier's political proxies who might create other regulations in the supplier's favour

If a firm's beta was calculated as 1.6 in a regression equation, a commonly-used adjustment technique incorporating a weighting on long-run beta of 1.0 would provide an adjusted beta of

Answers

Answer: between 1 and 1.6

Explanation:

The Market Beta is 1.0 which is why in the long run, betas will equal 1 and so will move steadily towards 1 overtime.

The adjustment technique will therefore show a beta between 1 and 1.6 because the 1.6 will move on to 1 overtime.

To explain, the adjustment technique is as follows;

Adjusted beta = 2/3(sample beta) + 1/3(1)

= 2/3(1.6) + 1/3

= 1.4

The adjusted beta of 1.4 is between 1 and 1.6.
