Answer: Regressive tax
Explanation:
Regressive tax refers to a tax regime where the tax rate reduces as the level of income increases.
In the above scenario, the income tax rates are:
$20,000 income = 2,000 / 20,000 = 10%
$30,000 income = 2,500 / 30,000 = 8.3%
$8,000 income = 4,000 / 80,000 = 5%
Notice how the tax rates reduced as the income earned went up. This is why this is a regressive tax regime.

D. Since the 1960s, transportation costs, as a percentage of the value of all U.S. imports, increased twofold.
E. The decline in the U.S. relative cost of international transportation has contributed to a higher volume of trade.
Answer:
A. When transportation costs rise, markets tend to substitute goods that are from closer locations. B. Transportation costs have declined due to technological improvements for transporting goods. E. The decline in the U.S. relative cost of international transportation has contributed to a higher volume of trade.Explanation:
When transportation costs increase, people will try to save on these costs by buying goods from nearby locations instead as these would require less transport.
In general, transportation costs have declined as technological improvements in transport have improved with better rail lines and air shipping routes. In the U.S. this has led to an increase in trade volume because people are able to buy from markets far away from them knowing that they will not have to pay exorbitant prices.
Beginning inventory for the month contained 3,000 units that were 35% complete with respect to materials. 57,000 units were completed and transferred out during the month. 5,500 units were in ending inventory, 10% complete with respect to materials. The weighted average equivalent units of production for materials for the month would be
Answer: 57,550 units
Explanation:
When using the weighted average method, the units completed and transferred out are assumed to include the opening inventory.
The weighted average equivalent units are therefore:
= Units completed and transferred out + Equivalent ending units
= 57,000 + (10% * 5,500)
= 57,000 + 550
= 57,550 units

= (150,000 * $2) (150,000 * $3.50)
The unit quantity standard of a product is 3 pounds per package, and the unit quantity standard for machine hours is 0.40 hours per package. During August, 190,000 packages were produced. 430,000 pounds and 77,000 hours were used in production. How many pounds and how many machine hours should have been used for the actual output
Answer:
Standard pounds= 570,000 pounds
Standard hours= 76,000 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard pounds= 3 pounds per package
Standard hours= 0.40 hours per package.
During August, 190,000 packages were produced.
To calculate the standard quantity of pounds and hours that should have been used, we need to multiply the standard rate whit the actual output.
Standard pounds= 190,000*3= 570,000 pounds
Standard hours= 0.4*190,000= 76,000 hours
Find the price a purchaser should be willing to pay for the given bond. Assume that the coupon interest is paid twice a year. $30,000 bond with coupon rate 4.4% that matures in 7 years; current interest rate is 6.8%.
Answer:
Bond Price= $26,042.12
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Coupon= (0.044/2)*30,000= $660
YTM= 0.068/2= 0.034
Time to maturity= 7*2= 14 semesters
Face value= $30,000
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 660*{[1 - (1.034^-14)] / 0.034} + [30,000 /(1.034^14)]
Bond Price= 7,256.14 + 18,785.98
Bond Price= $26,042.12
A peach farmer must decide how many peaches to harvest for the world peach fair. He knows that there is a 25 percent chance that the world price will be $3, a 50 percent chance that it will be $3.50, and a 25 percent chance that it will be $4. His cost function is C(Q) = 0.05Q2. The farmer's maximum expected profit is:
a. $61.25.
b. 0.
c. $122.50.
d. None of the answers are correct.
Answer:
The correct option is a. $61.25.
Explanation:
Note: The correct cost function of the farmer is as follows:
C(Q) = 0.05Q^2 ……………….. (1)
Differentiating equation
MC = C’(Q) = 0.1Q
P = Expected price = (25% * $3) + (50% * $3.50) + (25% * $4) = $3.50 ……. (2)
Since profit is maximized when MC = P, we equate equations (1) and solve for Q which is the expected profit-maximizing quantity as follows:
0.1Q = 3.50
Q = 3.50 / 0.1 = 35
Substituting Q = 35 into equation (1), we have:
C(Q) = 0.05 * 35^2 = $61.25
R(Q) = Maximum expected revenue = P * Q = $3.50 * 350 = $122.50
The farmer's maximum expected profit = R(Q) - C(Q) = $122.50 - $61.25 = $61.25
Therefore, the correct option is a. $61.25.
The farmer's maximum expected profit is d. None of the answers are correct.
Data and Calculations:
The Probability that the world price will be $3 = 25%
The Probability that the world price will be $3.50 = 50%
The Probability that the world price will be $4 = 25%
Therefore, the expected world price = $3.50 ($3 x 25% + $3.50 x 50% = $4 x 25%)
Sales Revenue = S(Q) $3.50Q
Cost function = C(Q) = 0.05Q²
The farmer's Maximum Profit is given by the profit function, P(Q) = 3.50Q - 0.05Q²
Thus, the farmer's maximum expected profit is d. None of the answers are correct.

Consider the market for orange juice. Suppose two events occurred last week. During the course of this past week, the price of oranges (used in the production of orange juice) decreased. At the same time, the price of coke (a substitute for orange juice) doubled. What are the likely effects of these TWO events on the equilibrium quantity Q* and price P* of orange juice
Answer:
these two events would lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity and have an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price
Explanation:
As a result of the decrease in the price of oranges which is use in the production of orange juice, there would be a rightward shift of the supply curve for orange juice. A a result, the supply of orange juice would increase and price of orange juice would fall
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
The doubling of the price of coke would lead to a decrease in the demand for coke and an increase in the demand for orange juice. This would shift the dead curve for orange juice to the right. As a result, both equilibrium price and quantity increases
these two events would lead to an increase in equilibrium quantity and have an indeterminate effect on equilibrium price

You are considering the purchase of a machine out of your evaluation among four new ones. They have differing initial and ongoing costs and differing lives. Whichever machine is purchased will be replaced at the end of its useful life. Under such circumstances, you should choose the machine to purchase based on the ___________________.
Answer:
Lowest equivalent annual cost.
Explanation:
Considering the above scenario, it is more advantageous to choose the machine that has the lowest equivalent annual cost. As the newly acquired machine will be replaced at the end of its useful life, it is more advantageous for it to have a higher performance and lower annual cost among others, as the cost of depreciation of machinery and equipment must be considered as a fixed cost that will also directly impact a company's accounts.

Cavern Company's output for the current period results in a $6,400 unfavorable direct material price variance. The actual price per pound is $62.00 and the standard price per pound is $60.00. How many pounds of material are used in the current period
Answer:
3,200 unit
Explanation:
Direct materials price variance = Quantity used * (Standard price - Actual price)
-$6,400 = Quantity used * ($60.00 - $62.00)
-$6,400 = Quantity used * -$2.00
Quantity used = -$6,400/-$2.00
Quantity used = 3,200 unit
So, the quantity of pounds of material used in the current period is 3,200 unit
National Chemical Company manufactures a chemical compound that is sold for $52 per gallon. A new variant of the chemical has been discovered, and if the basic compound were processed into the new variant, the selling price would be $73 per gallon. National expects the market for the new compound variant to be 8,800 gallons initially and determines that processing costs to refine the basic compound into the new variant would be $132,000. Required: a. What would be the effect on total profit if National produces the new compound variant
Answer: $52,800
Explanation:
The effect on profit is:
= (Difference in selling price - Incremental cost per unit of producing the new variant) * Number of gallons of new gallons to be produced
= ((73 - 52) - (132,000 / 8,800) ) * 8,800
= ( 21 - 15) * 8,800
= $52,800
Profit is positive so they should produce the new variant.
A small component is purchased for the use in the production of a major product. The standard price of the component is $0.85. During a recent period, 7,800 units were purchased and 6,800 were actually used. The standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output of the period was 6,540 units. What was the materials quantity variance
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Material quantity variance is computed as;
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output )
Actual quantity = 6,800 units
Standard quantity = 6,540 units
= 6,800 - 6,540
= 260 units
Therefore, the materials quantity variance is 260 Unfavourable.
It is unfavourable because the standard is higher than the actual
Use the following information to compute the cost of direct materials used for the current year. Assume the raw materials inventory account is used only for direct materials. (Assume no indirect materials.)
January 1 December 31
Inventories Raw materials inventory $6,700 $11,000
Work in process inventory 12,400 11,600
Finished goods inventory 10,900 7,500
Activity during current year Materials purchased $127,000
Direct labor 103,200
Factory overhead 47,700
Answer:
Direct material used= $122,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
January 1 December 31
Inventories Raw materials inventory $6,700 $11,000
Activity during current year Materials purchased $127,000
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 6,700 + 127,000 - 11,000
Direct material used= $122,700
