Answer:
a) If bribes cost $1,000 each, how much will a housing inspector make each year in bribes?
So, if the corrupt inspector approves two newly built structures each week, ti means that he is bribed twice per week. There are 52 weeks in a year, so he gets a total of 104 bribes (52 x 2). If each bribe costs $1,000, then he makes a total of: $1,000 x 104 = $104,000 in bribes per year.
c) Corrupt officials may have an incentive to reduce the provision of government services to help line their own pockets.
This statement is true. Corrupt officials will want to have private companies they can obtain bribes from provide government services. It increases the probability of them making money from bribes.
d) What if reducing the number of inspectors from 20 to 10 only increased the equilibrium bribe from $1,000 to $1,500?
Reducing the number of inspectors in hafl means that each inspector now gets twice the bribes. Because the equilibrium price did not double as did the quantity of bribes, each inspector will make less money than expected, but they will still the incentive to collect all the four bribes per week.

Explanation:
Inheritance tax is a form of tax that every beneficiary of an inherited estate must pay. Regardless of the situation and location of the inherited property , inheritance tax is calculated individually for different beneficiary.

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Overhead rates
For Molding Deptt
= Total Estimated overhead ÷ Total Machine hours
= $400,000 ÷ 5,000
= $80 per machine hour
For Polishing Deptt
= Total Estimated overhead ÷ Total Labor hours
= $80,000 ÷ 20,000
= $4 per machine hour
2. Overheads assigned to Form A is
= (80 × 3500) + (4 × 5000)
= $300,000
Overheads assigned to Form B is
= (80 × 1500) + (4 × 15000)
= $180,000
Now
Overhead cost per unit
Form A = $300,000 ÷ 30,000 = $10 per unit
Form B = $180,000 ÷ 50,000 = $3.6 per unit
Answer:
August 2 Notes Receivable 8000 Dr
Accounts Receivable- Ryan 8000 Cr
October 30 Interest receivable 220 Dr
Interest Revenue 220 Cr
October 31 Cash 8220 Dr
Notes Receivable 8000 Cr
Interest Receivable 220 Cr
Explanation:
When we receive the Note against the Accounts Receivable, we will credit the Accounts Receivable to close the account of Ryan and create a new current asset account of Notes Receivable on August 2.
On October 30, 90 days period of Note is complete so we will record the interest that is receivable for us on this note.
- Interest Receivable = 8000 * 11% * 90/360 = $220
We record this as Interest Receivable as we have not received this and credit Interest revenue as it is our income.
On 31 October, when we receive cash it will be total of Notes payable and Interest so we will debit cash by 8220 and credit the Notes payable and interest receivable.
