Why was the electricity generated by the TVA cheaper than that generated by private power companies? Workers for the TVA did not receive payment like private workers did.
The TVA operated mostly at a loss instead of trying to make a profit.

The federal government did not levy any taxes on the TVA.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer to this question would be alternative D) "The federal government did not levy any taxes on the TVA."

Being a Federally owned corporation, with the goal of producing electricity, it would be counterproductive to charge them taxes just like any other company, which would make their product more expensive and unable to compete with privately owned companies. For that reason, the Government didn't levy any taxes on them, which caused their electricity to be cheaper.

Answer 2
Answer: The primary reason why electricity generated by the TVA was cheaper than that generated by private power companies was because "The federal government did not levy any taxes on the TVA," since this would have been counterproductive.

Which of the following was a result of the Tea Act of 1773? Colonial merchants could not sell their tea. Colonial merchants could not get tea to sell. Colonial merchants tried to get the colonies to grow tea. Colonial merchants asked the king to take action.

Answers

Answer;

Colonial merchants could not sell their tea.

Explanation;

-The Tea Act, passed by Parliament on May 10, 1773, granted the British East India Company Tea a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies.The passing of the Tea Act imposed no new taxes on the American colonies.

-The act’s main purpose was not to raise revenue from the colonies but to bail out the floundering East India Company, a key actor in the British economy. The British government granted the company a monopoly on the importation and sale of tea in the colonies. The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it.

Final answer:

The Tea Act of 1773 provided a monopoly on tea sales to the British East India Company in American colonies, preventing colonial merchants from obtaining tea to sell. It led to prominent protest by colonists and eventually resulted in the Boston Tea Party.

Explanation:

The Tea Act of 1773 awarded the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies. This was not designed to raise revenue, but rather to bail out the floundering company and assert Parliament's right to tax the colonies.

One of the resulting situations was that colonial merchants could not get tea to sell since they could not compete with the substantially lower prices offered by the East India Company.

This economic impact incited significant colonial protest and eventually led to the Boston Tea Party.
