Ford motor company is considering launching a new line of plug-in electric suvs. the heavy advertising expenses associated with the new suv launch would generate operating losses of $35 million next year. without the new suv, ford expects to earn pre-tax income of $80 million from operations next year. ford pays a 30% tax rate on its pre-tax income.

the amount that ford motor company owe in taxes next year without the launch of the new suv is closest to:

a) $24.0 million
b) $56.0 million
c) $31.5 million
d) $13.5 million

the amount that ford motor company owe in taxes next year with the launch of the new suv is closest to:

a) $13.5 million
b) $31.5 million
c) $56.0 million
d) $24.0 million

(a) Option (A) is correct.

(b) Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

With the new SUV launch,

Generate operating losses = $35 million next year

Without the new SUV,

Expects to earn pre-tax income = $80 million from operations next year

Tax rate on its pre-tax income = 30%

(a) The amount that Ford Motor Company owe in taxes next year without the launch of the new SUV is closest to:

= Expected pre-tax income × Tax rate on its pre-tax income

= $80 Million × 30%

= $24 Million

(b) The amount that Ford Motor Company owe in taxes next year with the launch of the new SUV is closest to:

= ( Expected pre-tax income - operating losses) × Tax rate on its pre-tax income

= ($80 Million - 35 Million) 30%

= $13.5 Million

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.

i believe the answer is: streets and roads

public property refers to the property that can be used by all legal citizens in a certain country. the public property was created and maintain using the government budget that allocated specifically for it. the budget itself come from the citizen's income tax payment.
