A state has a graduated fine system for speeding, meaning you can pay a base fine and then have more charges added on top. For example, the base fine for speeding is $100. But that is just the start. If you are convicted of going more than 10 mph over the speed limit, add $25 for each additional mph you were traveling over the speed limit plus 10 mph. Thus, the amount of the fine y (in dollars) for driving x mph while speeding (when the speed limit is 30 miles per hour) can be represented with the equation below. y= 25(x– 40) + 100, x2 40 If someone was fined $325 for speeding, how fast were they going?

Critics of command-and-control policy often argue that regulationsare costly to business and industry, yet cost-benefitanalyses (p. 94) repeatedly show that regulations bring citizensmore benefits than costs, overall. Each year the U.S. Officeof Management and Budget assesses costs and benefits ofmajor federal regulations of administrative agencies. Resultsfrom the most recent report, covering the decade from 2003to 2013, are presented in the table (shown are averages fromranges of estimates). Subtract costs from benefits, and enterthese values for each agency in the third column. Divide benefitsby costs, and enter these values in the fourth column. For how many of the agencies shown do regulations exertmore costs than benefits? For how many do regulationsprovide more benefits than costs?

In some ways the state of the world economy is less hostile today than when (then) finance minister Tito Mboweni read his Budget Speech a year ago. Global economic growth rebounded significantly in 2021, after the decimation brought about by the Covid-19 induced recession in 2020.One of the outcomes of this was a sharp recovery in commodity prices, which has resulted in much higher-than-expected mining tax revenue in South Africa. This, in turn, has provided some welcome – albeit limited – breathing space on the fiscal front.The local economy is thought to have grown by more than 4.5 percent in 2021 – the highest annual increase in more than a decade. On balance, the finance minister should be able to meet spending demands (including the extension of the Sassa payments) for the year ahead, without widening the Budget deficit or resorting to punitive upwards adjustments to tax rates.” Define fiscal policy Describe the role of the budget in fiscal policy.
