Thelma's current income is $100,000 and she currently pays $30,000 in income tax.w Any income she earns above $100,000 is taxed at 40 percent. Which following correctly calculates her tax burden? the her average tax rate is 30 percent her marginal tax rate is 40 percent her average tax rate is 40 percent her marginal tax rate is 30 percent.
Song earns $148,000 taxable income as an interior designer and is taxed at an average rate of 20 percent (i.e., $29,600 of tax). Answer the questions below assuming that Congress increases the income tax rate such that Song's average tax rate increases from 20 percent to 25 percent. Required: What will happen to the government's tax revenues if Song chooses to spend more time pursuing her other passions besides work in response to the tax rate change and therefore earns only $111,000 in taxable income? What is the term that describes this type of reaction to a tax rate increase? What types of taxpayers are likely to respond in this manner?

During the 2007–2009 recession, the value of commonstocks in real terms fell by more than 50%. How mightthis decline in the stock market have affected aggregatedemand and thus contributed to the severity of therecession? Be specific about the mechanisms throughwhich the stock market decline affected the economy.
Suppose you are a typical person in the U.S. economy.You pay 4 percent of your income in a state incometax and 15.3 percent of your labor earnings in federalpayroll taxes (employer and employee sharescombined). You also pay federal income taxes as inTable 2 (p. 228). How much tax of each type do youpay if you earn $30,000 a year? Taking all taxes intoaccount, what are your average and marginal tax rates?What happens to your tax bill and to your average andmarginal tax rates if your income rises to $60,000?
The economy is characterized as: C=100+0.8Yd G=T =50 I=50-25i MS=200 P=1 Md=Y-25i Tax T=50 1. Is tax a lumpsump, specific, ad valorem or proportional tax? 2. What is the equilibrium income? 3. What is the total investment?
Given: C = 250 + 0.8 Y I = 150 G = 300 TR = 100 NX = 100 t =0.25 i) Find the equilibrium level of income. ii) Suppose, because of current COVID-19 situation C falls to 50, MPS falls to .05, I falls to 10, G falls to 100 and NX falls to 10. How much TR should the government increase to have the same level of equilibrium income as in part i)? iii) In determining the required change in TR in part ii), which multiplier did you use and why? (Hint: keep in mind the consumption tendency households may have under the COVID 19 situation in selecting the multiplier). iv) Draw a graph to show the appropriate changes between part i) and part ii). v) Give an example related to current Bangladeshi situation where the government may follow a 'Transfer Promoting Policy' instead of a 'Growth Promoting Policy' in determining who gets the transfer payment. vi) Instead of paying transfer (TR) if the government were to increase government spending (G), what type of crowding out would you expect?

Please no written by hand solutions Data on before-tax income, taxes paid and consumption spending (on domestic goods and services) for the Simpson family in various years are given below. BEFORE-TAX INCOME ($) TAX PAID ($) CONSUMPTION SPENDING ($) 3000 3500 3700 4000 25 000 27 000 28 000 30 000 20 000 21 350 22 070 23 600 a. Graph the Simpsons's consumption function and find their household's marginal propensity to consume. b. How much would you expect the Simpsons to consume if their income was $32 000 and they paid taxes of $5000? c. Homer Simpson wins a lottery prize. As a result, the Simpson family increases its consumption by $1000 at each level of after-tax income. ('Income' does not include the prize money.) How does this change affect the graph of their consumption function? How does it affect their marginal propensity to consume?

a) Solve for equilibrium output in terms of the exogenous variables. b) What is the multiplier? Is the multiplier higher whent1is 0 or whent1is positive? Note)t1= 0is the same as the baseline case we covered in class when taxes are exogenous. c) Supposec0increases by $300 m. What is the change in equilibrium Y when c1= 0.5 and t1= 0.2. What about whenc1= 0.5 and t1= 0?
