Chapter 3, Problem 18PAA

As the owner of Barney’s Broilers—a fast-food chain—you see an increase in the demand for broiled chicken as consumers become more health conscious and reduce their consumption of beef and fried foods. As a result, you believe it is necessary to purchase another oven to meet the increased demand. To finance the oven you go to the bank seeking a loan. The loan officer tells you that your revenues of $750,000 are insufficient to support additional debt. To qualify for the loan, Barney’s Broilers’s revenue would need to be $50,000 higher. In developing a strategy to generate the additional revenue, you colect data on the price (in cents) per pound you charge customers and the related quantity of chicken consumed per year in pounds. This information is contained in the file called Q18.xls available online at www.mhhe.com/baye9e. Use these data and a log-linear demand specification to obtain least squares estimates of the demand for broiled chicken. Write an equation that summarizes the demand for broiled chicken, and then determine the percentage price increase or decrease that is needed in order to boost revenues by $50,000.

Discuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.
