Answer:

The sales tax is regressive with respect to income

Explanation:

sales tax by Jennifer = 0.1*30000

                                   = 3000

tax/income = 3000/50000

                   = 6%

sales tax by steve = 0.1*27000

                                   = 2700

tax/income = 2700/30000

                   = 9%

The tax increases with decrease in income, it indeed is regressive on the whole.

Therefore, The sales tax is regressive with respect to income

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

=$246,000

Explanation:

Intended sales 3500 units

Selling price =$60

variable costs 35% of sales price is 35/100 x 60= $21

Contribution margin is 65% of sales price = 65/100 x 60 = $39

Fixed costs =$78,000

Sales revenue to make $81,900 will be

operating income = total contribution margin -Fixed costs

$81,900 = TCM - $78,000

TCM = $81,900 +78,000

TCM= 159,900

TCM is a product of contribution margins and sales units

159,900 =$39 x sales units

sales units = 159,000/ $39

sales units = 4,100

sales revenue = sales units x selling price

=$60 X 4100

=$246,000

RSB [31]

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $24,000.

Lassen bought the machine for $52,000 and has claimed $20,500 of depreciation expense on the machine

Book value= original price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 52,000 - 20,500= $31,500

If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.

Gain/loss= 24,000 - 31,500= $7,500 loss
