Correll Company, which operates a mail-order clothing business, is physically located in State L. This year, the firm shipped $18 million of merchandise to customers in State R. State R imposes a 6 percent sales and use tax on the purchase and consumption of retail goods within the state.
Required:
a. Do State R residents who purchased Firm L merchandise owe use tax on their purchases?
b. If State R could legally require Firm L to collect a 6 percent tax on mail-order sales made to residents of the state, how much additional revenue would the state collect? Explain the reasoning behind your answer.
Answer:
Correll Company
a. Yes State R residents who purchased Firm L (out-of-state) merchandise owe use tax on their purchases.
b. State R would collect $1,080,000 additional revenue ($18 million * 6%) if Correll was required to collect the use tax at the point of sale and then remit the tax collected to State R.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of merchandise to customers in State R = $18 million
State R's sales and use tax on the purchase and consumption of retail goods within the state = 6%
Amount that Correll could collect for State R = $1,080,000 ($18 million * 6%)
b) Note that Correll (Firm L) collecting the State R use tax does not affect State R residents' legal liability to pay the use tax. Unfortunately, not many people actually remit their self-assessed use tax.
If there are external benefits associated with the consumption of a good or service, Group of answer choices the market demand curve will be the vertical summation of the individual demand curves. consumers are paying for all these benefits. the market demand curve will underestimate the social demand curve. the market demand curve will overestimate the true demand curve.
Answer: the market demand curve will underestimate the social demand curve.
Explanation:
The good or service in question, having an external benefit means that it benefits third parties as well as those who actually bought the good or service. This means that it has a higher social benefit than other goods.
The market demand curve would not cater for the demand for this good adequately because it would only adjust for the private benefits. The social demand curve on the other hand, would be adjusted for the external benefits to show that more people want this good or service.
The market demand would therefore underestimate the social demand curve because it would not adjust for the extra demand that comes with the external benefits.
If you were originally a lender, remain a lender even after a decline in interest rates. Will you get better or worse after the interest rate change? Analyze consumer behavior in the above situation.

Producer surplus directly measures a. the well-being of buyers and sellers. b. the well-being of society as a whole. c. the well-being of sellers. d. sellers' willingness to sell.
Answer:
c. the well-being of sellers.
Explanation:
A surplus is the amount by which the quantity supplied of a good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good.
Producer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the cost of producing the good.
On the other hand, consumer surplus is the amount a buyer is willing to pay for a good minus the amount the buyer actually pays for it.
Hence, an export subsidy will increase producer surplus.
In conclusion, producer surplus directly measures the well-being of sellers.

Maria is an employee at Lyric Inc. Her colleagues describe her as friendly and gregarious. She is a good team player and is always willing to help others. She also likes socializing with her colleagues outside of work. In the context of David McClelland's three needs theory, Maria is most likely driven by a need for _____.
Answer:
affiliation
Explanation:
An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.
In this scenario, Maria is an employee at Lyric Inc. and she's described by her colleagues as being friendly and gregarious (sociable or welcoming). Also, Maria is a good team player who is always willing to help her team members and she likes socializing with her colleagues outside of work.
David Clarence McClelland was an American psychologist who was born on the 20th of May, 1917 in New York, United States of America and he died on the 27th of March, 1998 in Massachusetts, United States of America. David was famously known for his work "McClelland Theory of Motivation" in his book (1961) titled "The Achieving Society" where he talked about people's need for achievement and identified the three (3) motivators by all humans;
I. Need for power (N-Pow).
II. Need for achievement (N-Ach).
III. Need for affiliation (N-Affil).
The aforementioned driving motivators are not inherently possessed but instead are developed through human culture and individual life experiences.
Hence, the performance, effectiveness and motivation of an employee working in an organization is influenced by the three needs theory.
An employee with a high need for affiliation (N-Affil) requires having a harmonious relationship with his or her colleagues, a significant personal relationship, cooperative work environment and need to feel accepted by their colleagues.
In the context of David McClelland's three needs theory, Maria is most likely driven by a need for affiliation.
Ted, a used car dealer, entered into a written agreement to sell a car to Debra, a sixteen year old high school junior. The agreement provided that Ted would replace any defective parts for one year. Debra agreed to pay Ted $200 per month for three years (which she has done). The age of majority for the jurisdiction is eighteen. After six months, Debra's transmission fails but Ted refuses to replace it. If Debra (or a representative on her behalf) brings a lawsuit against Ted, it is more likely than not that the court will rule:_____.
A. Ted will prevail because Debra was a minor when the contract was formed.
B. The contract is illegal.
C. The contract is void.
D. Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract.
Answer:
D. Debra will prevail, as Ted is bound to the contract.
Explanation:
A minor can enter a contract that is not prohibited by law for minors. For example sale of alcohol or tobacco is prohibited.
When a minor enters a contract they can either honor it or void it before they come of age.
This is different for adults that cannot disaffirm a contract.
So in this scenario where the agreement provided that Ted would replace any defective parts for one year, failure to do so will see Debra prevailing in court. Since she did not void the contract

The number of people employed in one country is 230 million, with a total number of unemployed people at 40 million. The total population for the country is 500 million. What is the unemployment rate? Group of answer choices
Answer:
Unemployment rate = 14.81 %
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as the number of people that are willing and able to work in an economy but that are not able to get employment.
If is used as a measure of the level of economic growth of a country.
Mathematically:
Unemployment rate = (Unemployed) ÷ (Economically active people) *100
Economically active people are employed plus unemployed.
That is 230 million + 40 million = 270 million
Therefore
Unemployment rate = (40/270) * 100
Unemployment rate = 14.81 %

Barclay Enterprises manufactures and sells three distinct styles of bicycles: the Youth model sells for $370 and has a unit contribution margin of $140; the Adult model sells for $920 and has a unit contribution margin of $485; and the Recreational model sells for $1,070 and has a unit contribution margin of $535. The company's sales mix includes: 5 Youth models; 9 Adult models; and 6 Recreational models. If the firm's annual fixed costs total $6,570,000, calculate the firm's break-even point in composite units (rounded to the nearest whole unit). Multiple Choice 16,550 composite units. 794 composite units. 1,430 composite units. 397 composite units. 8,275 composite units.
Answer:
794 composite units.
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the firm's break-even point in composite units
First step
Contribution Margin per Composite Unit:
Youth model $700
($140× sales mix of 5 )
Adult model model $4,365
($485× sales mix of 9)
Recreational model $3,210
( $535 × sales mix of 6 )
Contribution Margin per Composite Unit=8,275
($700+$4,365+$3,210)
Now let determine the Break-even Sales in Composite Units using this formula
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = Total Fixed Costs/Contribution Margin per Composite Unit
Let plug in the formula
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = $6,570,000/$8,275
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = $793.9
Break-even Sales in Composite Units = 794 composite units
Therefore the firm's break-even point in composite units is 794 composite units.

1. Define equilibrium.
Answer:
In chemistry:
Chemical equilibrium is defined as the condition in the course of a reversible chemical reaction in which no net change in the amounts of reactants and products occurs
In physics:
Equilibrium is defined as the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time.
A simple mechanical body is said to be in equilibrium if it experiences neither linear acceleration nor angular acceleration; unless it is disturbed by an outside force, it will continue in that condition indefinitely.
the condition of a system when neither its state of motion nor its internal energy state tends to change with time is called equilibrium.

Materials cost per yard: standard, $1.90; actual, $2.04 Standard yards per unit: standard, 4.69 yards; actual, 5.03 yards Units of production: 9,400 Calculate the direct materials price variance. a.$1,316.00 unfavorable b.$6,619.48 unfavorable c.$6,619.48 favorable d.$6,172.04 favorable
Answer:
b.$6,619.48 unfavorable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the direct materials price variance
First step is to calculate the Total number of actual quantity used
Total number of actual quantity used = 9400×5.03
Total number of actual quantity = 47,282
Now let determine the Material price variance
Using this formula
Material price variance = ( Standard price - Actual price ) × Actual quantity used
Let plug in the morning
Material price variance= ( $1.90 - $2.04 ) × 47,282
Material price variance=-0.14×47,282
Material price variance = -$6,619.48 unfavorable
Therefore the direct materials price variance is
-$6,619.48 unfavorable
Your sister is thinking about starting a new business. The company would require $300,000 of assets, and it would be financed entirely with common stock. She will go forward only if she thinks the firm can provide a 13.5% return on the invested capital, which means that the firm must have an ROE of 13.5%. How much net income must be expected to warrant starting the business
Answer: $40,500
Explanation:
The company would be expected to make a net income of 13.5% of the amount invested in assets.
ROE = Net income / Equity
Net income = ROE * Equity
Assets are the same as equity in this scenario because the company is entirely funded by equity.
= 13.5% * 300,000
= $40,500
causes of wage rigidity
Answer:
According to the Efficiency-wage theories: High wages paid to the workers' make them more productive, therefore, the firms are reluctant or fail to decrease wages despite of an excess supply of labour.
The neoclassical view holds that long-term expansion of potential GDP due to _______________________ will determine ____________________. Group of answer choices
Answer:
economic growth; the size of the economy.
Explanation:
Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country. Also, Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the production levels of any nation.
Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).
The new classical theory also known as the neoclassical economic theory is one that repudiates and tends to restructure the John M. Keynes theory of macroeconomics, popularly referred to as the Keynesian Macroeconomics theory.
The new classical theory argues that efficient demand and supply is the most important feature or key behind the level of output, pricing, and consumption of goods and services by the people at a specific period of time in a country. Also, the new classical theory assumes that the wages of the employees in a country is flexible in contrast to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory.
The neoclassical view posits that long-term expansion of potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) due to economic growth will significantly determine the size of a country's economy.
However, the economy cannot sustain production above its potential Gross Domestic Products (GDP) in the long run.
A distinguishing characteristic of the neoclassical view from other economic theory such as the Keynesian Macroeconomics theory, is flexibility of wages and prices over time.
MC Qu. 131 At Midland Company's break-even point... At Midland Company's break-even point of 9,000 units, fixed costs are $180,000 and variable costs are $540,000 in total. The unit sales price is:
Answer:
selling price per unit = $80
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Company's break-even point of 9,000 units
Fixed costs are $180,000
Total variable costs= $540,000
First, we will calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 540,000 / 9,000
Unitary variable cost= $60
Now, the unitary selling price, using the following formula:
Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit
9,000 = 180,000 / (selling price per unit - 60)
9,000selling price per unit - 540,000 = 180,000
9,000selling price per unit = 180,000 + 540,000
9,000selling price per unit = 720,000
selling price per unit = 720,000/9,000
selling price per unit = $80
Answer:
$80
Explanation:
The first step is to find the variable cost
= 540,000/9000
