Barry can work 3120 hours in a (non-leap) year. He has the opportunity to work for $20 per hour. With the income that he earns from working he purchases cans of soup at a price of $1 per can. He has no other income. Barry must pay taxes on the income that he earns. The first $15,000 that he earns is exempt from taxation. However, on every dollar that he earns above $15,000, he faces a marginal tax rate of 15% (so for every $1 that he earns above $15,000 he must pay the government $.15). a) Putting hours of leisure on the x-axis and cans of soup on the y-axis illustrate Barry’s budget set. Be sure to label (put the coordinates) on both intercepts and the “kink” point on the budget line. b) Barry is a typical American worker who works 2000 hours per year. What are Barry’s total tax payments? Illustrate an indifference curve through his best bundle in your diagram for part (a). The President’s Tax Reform Panel proposes to change the tax laws.
