Answer:
sales branches.
Explanation:
A sales branch can be defined as a wholesaler owned by a manufacturer and takes product title, assumes the risk associated with the ownership of this product, resells the product, as well as providing services to the end users or consumers.

What is the intent of a Pigouvian​ tax? A. To encourage producers of a negative externality to increase production to the socially optimal level. B. To eliminate the force of the invisible hand in market transactions. C. To mandate by government fiat the reduction of production to the socially optimal level. D. To induce producers of a negative externality to reduce production to the socially optimal level.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
The unemployment rate may underestimate the true extent of unemployment if: Question 26 options: many part-time employees would like to work fulltime, but are unable to get the additional work. employees increase the number of hours they work overtime. there are a large number of people working in the underground economy. people are pretending to look for work so that they can continue receiving unemployment benefits.
Answer:
there are a large number of people working in the underground economy.
Explanation:
The unemployment rate is the rate of people in the labour force that is without a job but they are actively looking for employment
Types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom
If a large number of people are working underground, they would not be counted as part of the labour force and so the labour force would be smaller. This understates unemployment rate

Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. False
4. True
5. True
Explanation:
1. False: Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to ensure that investors invest only in companies that will be profitable.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a legal framework which was passed by the 107th U.S Congress on the 30th of July, 2002. The law required that investment banking be completely made rid of research analysts who works at a broker-dealer firms, so that the analysts are not influenced to write favorable reports to enhance their potential investment banking businesses.
Hence, it is a federal law that imposes a stiffer penalty for any securities related law break offence by the accountants, auditors etc by mandating strict reforms to the existing securities regulations.
2. False: The standards of conduct by which actions are judged as loyal or disloyal are ethics.
Ethics can be defined as a standard of conduct that judges a person's action as either right or wrong.

The journal entry to record the use of direct materials in process costing is to: Multiple choice question. debit Raw Materials Inventory and credit Work in Process Inventory. debit Work in Process Inventory and credit Raw Materials Inventory. debit Raw Materials Inventory and credit Factory Overhead. debit Factory Overhead and credit Raw Materials Inventory.
Answer:
debit Work in Process Inventory and credit Raw Materials Inventory
Explanation:
Inventory is an asset and a debit to an asset is an increase in that asset while a credit to an asset is a decrease in the value of the asset.
Direct material is an example of a raw material and as such when used in processing, the account balance reduces while work in progress which is the next product in the processing of raw materials increases.
Hence going by the principles stated earlier, the journal entry to record the use of direct materials in process costing is to debit Work in Process Inventory and credit Raw Materials Inventory.

A tile manufacturer has supplied the following data: Boxes of tiles produced and sold 520,000 Sales revenue $ 2,132,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 650,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 464,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 260,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 312,000 Net operating income $ 446,000 What is the company's unit contribution margin
Answer:
unitary contribution margin= $2.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= Variable manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
Total variable cost= 560,000 + 260,000
Total variable cost= $820,000
Now, the unitary variable cost and the selling price:
unitary variable cost= 820,000 / 520,000= $1.58
Selling price= 2,132,000 / 520,000= $4.1
Finally, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
unitary contribution margin= 4.1 - 1.58
unitary contribution margin= $2.52
The government passes a law that allows a substantial subsidy for every acre of land used to grow tobacco. How does this program affect the long-run supply curve for tobacco? The long-run supply curve for tobacco will A. shift to the right because the price of tobacco will increase. B. shift down because . C. shift because tobacco production will become profitable. D. not change because the minimum long-run average cost of production will not change. E. become instead of horizontal because the costs of inputs will change.
Answer: C. shift right/ out because tobacco production will become profitable.
Explanation:
Subsidies reduce the cost of using something because the government would sponsor it. The cost of farming tobacco will therefore reduce in this instance. Tobacco companies will therefore incur less cost to acquire tobacco and so will start making more profit.
This will encourage other firms to come into the tobacco market as time goes on. As more firms enter, there will be a larger supply of tobacco. The supply curve will then shift right to depict this.

Mike, who owns a dive shop in the United States, decides to take a group of his customers diving in U.S. waters. Mike is aware that sharks occasionally visit the area where the divers will be visiting. He is also aware that, while stingrays are usually tame, they can become aggressive when fed. Mike does not reveal that information to the group of divers going with him. The divers go down into the water, and some have squid with which to feed the stingrays. During the dive, one of the stingrays becomes agitated and latches onto diver Susie's arm. Susie is so disconcerted that she drops her regulator (her breathing device) from her mouth and is in considerable difficulty. Another diver, Billy, encounters a shark, which snaps at him. While the shark does not actually bite Billy, the attack results in damage to his diving equipment. Mike, who is in charge of the dive, does nothing to help and leaves the other divers to return to the boat because the dive turned out to be more trouble than expected. Wendy, another diver on the trip, also returns to the boat without doing anything to help the divers in distress. Sam, on the other hand, goes to rescue the divers who are in distress. He manages to do so but in the process he pulls his back and requires medical care. All divers are very unhappy with Mike. Which of the following is true regarding whether Wendy and Sam had a duty to come to the assistance of the divers in peril?
A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
B. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if Mike refused to do so.
C. Wendy and Sam did not have a duty to aid the divers in peril, unless they were the first to observe the problem. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if they were acquainted with them before the dive.
D. Wendy and Sam had no duty to help strangers. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril if personal safety was involved, but not O if the only issue was damage to property
Answer: A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
Explanation:
Sam and Wendy were simply customers of Mike in this scenario and so could not be reasonable expected to take over his duties to oversee the dive which he initiated and was aware of the risks of.
They therefore did not have a duty to aid the other divers especially given the fact that they did not know the risks involved in diving in that particular area. The only person who had an actual duty to rescue the divers is the company or person that took the people on the dive which in this case was Mike.
patron at a resort ranch took part in a supervised horseback trail ride. Prior to the ride, the patron executed a valid release that enumerated the inherent risks of horseback riding and, by its terms, relieved the resort from liability from any loss, damage, or injury to the guest's person or property suffered during the ride attributable to the negligence of the ranch or its employees. The patron was injured by a fall from the horse. The horse reared in response to negligent behavior of another rider. The patron filed suit against the ranch and the other rider for damages resulting from his injuries that totaled $400,000. At trial, it was determined that the ranch was 75 percent at fault for the patron's injuries due to its selection and training of the horse and that the other rider was 25 percent at fault. The applicable jurisdiction recognizes the validity of such releases and has enacted both a modified comparative negligence statute and pure several liability statute. How much can the patron recover from the other rider
Answer:
Nothing.
Explanation:
In normally, the parties to the contract could disclaim the liability for the negligence. The exculpatory provision in a contract means there should be recovery with respect to the harms that occurs from the party negligence that are protected by the contract.
This should be applied even in the case when the state has adopted the comparative negligence statute
So nothing should be recovered
The aggregate demand curve A. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve looks at the entire circular flow of income and product while the individual demand curve looks at only one good. B. is like individual demand curves in that prices of other goods are held constant. C. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve is not downward sloping. D. is like individual demand curves in that income is constant.
Answer:
A. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve looks at the entire circular flow of income and product while the individual demand curve looks at only one good.
Explanation:
An aggregate demand curve is a graphical representation which represents the relationship between the total quantity of the output demanded which is measured as the real GDP and its price level which is measured as an implicit price deflator.
The aggregate demand curve looks at both the circular flow of the income as well as the product whereas the individual demand curve is responsible for only one, keeping the other constant.
Hence, the correct option is option (A).

CONVERSE CON EL SEÑOR DEL BAZAR DE SU BARRIO PARA CONOCER QUE DOCUMENTOS DEBE TENER PARA QUE EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE SU NEGOCIO SEA LEGAL Y CORRECTO
La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.
Desafortunadamente, no especificas a qué país te refieres, ya que cada país tiene un régimen fiscal distinto, y los comercios están obligados a declarar impuestos de acuerdo a la legislación vigente en cada país.
Para poder responder a tus preguntas, lo haremos en términos generales ya que no mencionas cuál es tu país.
¿Qué es la factura?
La factura es el comprobante oficial al que obliga el gobierno, a través de la Secretaría de Hacienda y el Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT). La factura es el comprobante oficial que respalda la compra-venta de un artículo, producto o servicio, y donde se demuestra que se cobro el impuesto por la adquisición de la mercancía.
¿Qué es la Nota de venta?
La nota de venta es un comprobante de control interno que no tiene validez oficial para comprobar el consumo y el cargo del impuesto. La nota de venta sólo la ampara el mismo negocio que la elaboró, el sistema de administración tributario.
¿En que momento se usa la factura?
La factura se usa cuando se requiere elaborar un comprobante oficial que posteriormente pueda ser usado en la declaración mensual de impuestos o en la declaración anual, para que se puedan deducir los impuestos retenidos.
¿En que momento se usa la nota de venta?
Cuando sólo se quiere entregar un comprobante de compra, sin aplicar el impuesto al valor agregado.
¿Por qué el bazar del barrio no da factura ni nota de venta?
Porque probablemente es un pequeño comercio, y no está obligado a facturar. Sólo a dar comprobantes. Los pequeños comercios tributan o pagan impuestos de manera diferente. Son considerados pequeños contribuyentes y por lo regular se les asigna una cuota fija, siempre y cuando no rebasen una cantidad establecida por la autoridad hacendaria.
Platicando con el dueño de la papelería del barrio, él me comenta que el municipio sólo le pido una licencia de uso de suelo para que pueda operar su negocio. Esa licencia de funcionamiento tiene un costo único que debe ser renovad anualmente. El es pequeño comerciante y debe pagar una cuota fija de manera trimestral.

While traveling on a commercial bus line, a passenger was injured when some luggage fell on him. As required by applicable state law, the bus company's in-house attorney conducted an investigation and filed the required report with the state transportation department. The passenger subsequently filed a civil action against the bus company in federal district court, seeking compensatory damages for the injuries he suffered. During discovery, the passenger's lawyer served on the bus company a request for production of documents, including a request for the report that the bus company filed with the state. The bus company objected to the request for the report and refused to produce it on the grounds that the report was privileged and protected from discovery under the work product doctrine. It did, however, produce other documents that were requested. The passenger then filed a motion to compel production of the report. If the court finds that the bus company's claims of privilege and work product were not substantially justified, what orders must the court make relating to the passenger's request for production of the report
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
In a situation whereby the attorney of the passenger tried resolving the dispute in good faith, then the bus company must be ordered by the court to produce the report as well as the payment of reasonable cost that was incurred in making the motion.
It should however be noted that such cost may not be awarded when the movant had filed the motion before obtaining the disclosure in good faith. Also, the cost with be given when the nondisclosure response of the opposing party was justified.
Able Inc. sells a new product with a 2-year warranty. The company estimates that during the two years, the costs and related probabilities are: Year 1: $10,000 (20%) and $20,000 (80%); Year 2: $15,000 (50%); $25,000 (50%).The company's effective interest rate is 4%. Assuming the warranty costs are settled at the end of Years 1 and 2, calculate the estimated warranty liability using the expected cash flow method.
Answer: $35,798.82
Explanation:
Find the expected warranty costs and then discount them using the effective interest rate:
Year 1:
= (10,000 * 20%) + (20,000 * 80%)
= $18,000
Year 2:
= (15,000 * 50%) + (25,000 * 50%)
= $20,000
Estimated warranty liability is the present value:
= 18,000 / (1 + 4%) + 20,000 / (1 + 4%)²
= $35,798.82
