In Country X a returning tourist may import goods with a total value of $500 or less tax free, but must pay an 8 percent tax on the portion of the total value in excess of $500. What tax must be paid by a returning tourist who imports goods with a total value of $730 ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$18.4

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Maximum value on which there is no tax = $500

Tax paid on the portion of the total value in excess of $500 = 8% = 0.08

Total value of the goods imported by the returning tourist = $730

Now,

The excess amount of portion on which the tax will be charged

= Total value of the goods imported - Maximum value on which there is no tax

= $730 - $500

= $230

Therefore,

@8% tax rate

Total tax that must be paid on excess portion i.e $230

= $230 × 8%

= $230 × 0.08

= $18.4

Cause and effect what is likely to happen when consumers hear reports that make them worry about a products safety ? Explain the possible when price rises ?

Answers

the demand of that product decreases only the few who can afford will purchase and the cause of higer prices on aproduct may b due to increement in taxes on acommodity by the gov't

If consumers hear reports that make them worry about a product safety, they are less likely to purchase the product. Consumers want to know that the product they are purchasing is safe for them to consume. If there are elements that question their safety, they may not purchase the item due to not knowing what the side effects may be. If the price rises, I would assume even less people would purchase the product if it’s set at a higher price and with product safety in question.
