Luxury taxes now refer more prevalently to “sinful” goods like tobacco, alcohol, and high-end automobiles. Excise Tax An excise tax is placed on an item depending on how much of the item is rather than its total value. For example, if you buy a gallon of gasoline, the government ...
Explain how ratio analysis can be used to evaluate a businesss ability to pay its debt? How do you compute ending inventory if given is beginning inventory, purchases, and expenses? What are market failures and transaction costs? What is the formula for electrostatic force? How to write decima...
Central to our exercise is the recognition that the cost impact of a higher fuel price will depend on the fuel efficiency of individual aircraft. Accordingly, for each year, we compute gallons used per seat-mile (gallons PSM) for each airline/aircraft-type combination, and then multiply this ...
While the gasoline that provides energy for the engine is stored in a fuel tank, the electric motor gets its power from a different source. A battery pack stores and supplies the energy necessary to power a hybrid car's electric motor. Without the chemical reactions that happen inside a ...
Explain impact of high tax on gasoline. Explain the real balance effect. Explain how interest rates coordinate present and future consumption and production. Explain rules and discretion in terms of inflation targeting with an example. Explain the concept of an indexed loan. Define and explain how...
Rather than mechanical movement, electronic meters use sampling rates of voltage and current signals to compute energy consumption. The analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) process, combined with the meter’s internal software, determines the Kh value. The meter is typically calibrated at the factory,...
However this efficiency is not expressed in percentage as you would usually expect so it does not tell us if our motor-propeller setup is consuming energy exclusively to generate lift or wasting it somewhere else. To compute an efficiency value in percentage we would need to know the minimum ...
Using our estimates to compute elasticities, we assess the impact of a policy equalizing diesel and gasoline taxes. Such a policy reduces the share of diesel-engines without substantially changing the average fuel consumption or CO2 intensity of new cars. Alternatively, we find that a (revenue-...
This study uses a unique dataset on the cost of motoring in Germany to analyse cost competitiveness of emerging mobility-on-demand (MOD) services. Previous
That’s something like 100ml of gasoline, or enough energy to drive 2km in a smallish car. Or to run a fridge for a few hours. It’s certainly less than the energy to heat a single tank of hot water. Of course, all of the above things are hugely inefficient and wasteful designs....
