Suppose that you are an economic-policy advisor. Environmental groups are pressuring you to implement the highest-possible carbon tax while industry groups are pressuring you to implement no carbon tax at all. Both argue that their position makes more sense economically. In fact, the most efficient tax level is: Group of answer choices a tax equal to the social cost. a tax equal to the external cost. the highest possible tax. no tax at all.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: a tax equal to the external cost.

Explanation:

The most efficient taxes are those that will be equal to the external cost of production that a company is imposing on the environment. This means in effect that a company is paying for the pollution it is inflicting on the environment.

Companies polluting less would pay less and those polluting more would pay more. This is the logic of a tax equal to the external cost.

The following data has been provided for Hisjum631 Corporation for the period below:_______.
Return on investment 22 %
Average operating assets $ 40,000
Minimum required rate of return 16 %
What is the residual income for Hisjum631 for the period (closest to)?

Answers

Answer:

$2,400

Explanation:

Calculation for the residual income for Hisjum631 for the period

First step is to calculate the ROI Using this formula

ROI = Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets

Let plug in the formula

0.22 = Net operating income ÷ $40,000

Net operating income = 0.22× $40,000

Net operating income = $8,800

Now let calculate the Residual income using this formula

Residual income = Net operating income − (Average operating assets × Minimum required rate of return)

Let plug in the formula

Residual income= $8,800 − ($40,000 × 0.16)

Residual income= $8,800 − $6,400

Residual income= $2,400

Therefore the residual income for Hisjum631 for the period (closest to) $2,400

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gross tax liability? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.) (Use the tax rate schedules, long-term capital gains tax brackets.)
a. $19.478
b. $20143
c. $18,728
d. 516 200

Answers

Answer:

$19,478

Explanation:

Computation of tax liability

i. Total income excluding LTC gain = 108,000 - 5,800 = 102,200

ii. Tax on 102,200 as per single tax schedule = 14605.5+((102200-85525)*24%) = 18607.50

iii. Tax on LTC gain at 15% = 5800 * 15% = 870

So, Gross Tax liability = $18607.50 + $870 = $19477.50 = $19,478

Note: As per Long term capital gain schedule

A granary allocates the cost of unprocessed wheat to the production of feed, flour, and starch. For the current period, unprocessed wheat was purchased for $320,000, and the following quantities of product and sales revenues were produced. Product Pounds Price per pound Feed 100,000 $ 1.60 Flour 72,000 2.50 Starch 40,000 1.50 How much of the $320,000 cost should be allocated to flour if the value basis is used

Answers

Answer:

the cost that should be allocated to flour is $144,000

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Particulars    Total value

Feed       (100,000 × $1.60)  = $160,000

Flour        (72,000 × $2.50) = $180,000

Starch      (40,000 × $1.50) = $60,000

Total        $400,000

Now the allocation made to flour is

= $180,000 ÷ $400,000 × $320,000

= $144,000

Hence, the cost that should be allocated to flour is $144,000

Bantam company calculated its net income to be $77,600 based on the unadjusted trial balance. The following adjusting entries were then made for: Salaries and wages owed but not yet paid of $795. Interest earned but not received from investments of $755. Prepaid insurance premiums amounting to $555 have expired. Deferred revenue in the amount of $755 has now been earned. Required: Determine the amount of net income (loss) that will be reported after the adjustments are recorded.

Answers

Answer:

$77,760

Explanation:

After adjustment items of expenses will be deducted from the Net income, and items of income will be added to the net income.

Item of expenses = unpaid salary + Prepaid insurance (Expired)

Item of income = Interest earned + revenue

Net income after deduction = 77,600 - 795 - 555 + 755 + 755

Net income after deduction = $77,760

With current technology, suppose a firm is producing 800 loaves of banana bread daily. Also assume that the least-cost combination of resources in producing those loaves is 5 units of labor, 5 units of land, 4 units of capital, and 1 unit of entrepreneurial ability, selling at prices of $40, $60, $60, and $20 per unit, respectively.
a. If the firm can sell these 800 units at $1 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?
b. What is the firm's total revenue?
c. What is the firm's total cost?
d. What is the firm's profit or loss?

Answers

Answer:

a. Since a profit of $40 is being made as obtained in part d, the firm will continue to produce banana bread.

b. Firm's total revenue is $800.

c. Firm's total cost is $760.

d. Firm's profit is $40.

Explanation:

a. If the firm can sell these 800 units at $1 per unit, will it continue to produce banana bread?

The decision criteria is to continue to produce if profit is being made or stop to produce if loss is being incured.

Since a profit of $40 is being made as obtained in part d, the firm will continue to produce banana bread.

b. What is the firm's total revenue?

Total revenue = Selling price per unit * Sales unit = $1 * 800 = $800

c. What is the firm's total cost?

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost of labor = Unit of labor * Unit labor cost = 5 * $40 = $200

Cost of land = Unit of land * Unit land cost = 5 * $60 = $300

Cost of capital = Unit of capital * Unit capital cost = 4 * $60 = $240

Cost of entrepreneurial ability = Unit of entrepreneurial ability * Unit entrepreneurial ability cost = 1 * $20 = $20

Total cost = Cost of labor + Cost of land + Cost of capital + Cost of entrepreneurial ability = $200 + $300 + $240 + $20 = $760

d. What is the firm's profit or loss?

Profit (loss) = Total revenue - Total cost = $800 - $760 = $40

Haas Enterprise Inc. has outstanding 30,000 shares of $50 par value, 6% preferred stock and 70,000 shares of $1 par value common stock. During its first three years in business, it declared and paid no cash dividends in the first year, $310,000 in the second year, and $90,000 in the third year. (a) If the preferred stock is cumulative, determine the total amount of cash dividends paid to each class of stock in each of the three years.

Answers

Answer:

Year 1

Preferred stock $0

Common stock $0

Year 2:

preferred stock  $180,000

common stock $130,000

Year 3:

Preferred stock $90,0000

Common stock nil

Explanation:

The fact that preferred stock is cumulative means that dividends left unpaid in years when no dividends were declared would be paid in subsequent years.

annual preferred stock dividends=30,000*$50*6%=$90,000

No dividends  were declared in year 1, hence no dividends were paid

In year 2  $310,000 of dividends were declared

Dividends paid to preferred stock in year 2=$90,000+$90,000=$180,000(for both first year and second year)

common stock dividends in year 2=$310,000-$180,000=$130,000

In year 3 the dividends of $90,000 declared would be paid to preferred stock

January 1, 20x1, as related to the establishment of the patent. On June 30, 20x2, Pitchfork spent $130,000 to successfully defend a patent infringement case against the drug. As a result, the estimated remaining useful life was determined to be 16 years from June 30, 20x2. Pitchfork uses the straight-line method to amortize intangibles. What is the amount of amortization expense Pitchfork will record on their December 31, 20x2, Income Statement

Answers

Answer:

The question is incomplete since the cost of the patent is missing. I will try to answer the question using some random number for the cost:

purchase cost of the patent = $200,000

assuming that the patent originally had a useful life of 10 years

patent amortization for 2021 = $200,000 / 10 = $20,000

patent's carrying value Dec. 31, 2021 = $200,000 - $20,000 = $180,000

since the company incurred legal costs = $130,000 and was able to extend the patent's useful life:

amortization expense January 1 to June 30 2022 = $20,000 x 6/12 = $10,000

carrying value of the patent on June 30, 2022 = $180,000 - $10,000 + $130,000 = $300,000

since the patent's useful life was extended to 16 years, starting June 30, 2022, the amortization expense per year = $300,000 / 16 years = $18,750

total amortization expense during 2022 = $10,000 (for the first 6 months) + $18,750/2 (for the remaining 6 months) = $10,000 + $9,375 = $19,375

C. Walmart has limited bargaining power over suppliers, which results in many of their suppliers altering their distribution systems to accommodate Walmart's need to control the stocks of goods in stores.
D. GM has limited bargaining power in the tire market, which lowers tire prices.
E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.

Answers

Answer: E. Walmart has significant bargaining power over its suppliers, which decreases the profitability of the suppliers.

Explanation:

Walmart as buyers have significant bargaining power over their suppliers because they are quite large in size and therefore buy in bulk.

As a result of this, they can negotiate prices with suppliers that favor them not the suppliers which will decrease the profitability of the suppliers who would be compelled to sell to Walmart because of how much of their goods Walmart can buy.

A local community college.
A trade school.
A specialized training program.
Both b and c are correct.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Local \ community \ college}}[/tex]

Explanation:

Local community colleges are a great option because they provide a foundation of education. They offer courses that are equivalent to a four-year college/university's, but at much lower costs. This type of education allows you to earn a 2 year Associate's degree.

You can decide your path after, but many people choose to transfer to another four-year college/university. When they transfer, the 2 years at the community college counts as 2 years at the chosen institution, so they enter as a junior.

Trade schools and training programs offer valuable education, but typically not Associate's degrees.

So, the best answer is choice A. Local community college

He also tries a new product (Y) and the marginal utility of the last unit he consumes is 8 utils and the price is $1. The equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should rev: 04_09_2018 Multiple Choice increase his consumption of product Y and decrease his consumption of product X.

Answers

Answer:

INCREASE in Consumption of product Y

DECREASE in Consumption of product X

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that the already existing product (X) has a marginal utility of 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 while the new product (Y) has a marginal utility of 8 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $1 which means that PRODUCT Y marginal utility and price is lower than that of PRODUCT X marginal utility and price.

Therefore equal marginal principle suggests that Oscar should INCREASE his consumption of product Y and DECREASE his consumption of product X reason been that product Y has a lower marginal utility of 8 utils and the price of the amounts of $1 which means that his consumption of Product Y has to be INCREASED while product X on the other has a higher marginal utility 10 utils as well as the price of the amounts of $5 which means that his Consumption of Product X has to DECREASED.
