As the baby boom generation retires, the ratio of retirees to workers will increase noticeably. How will this affect the Social Security program? How will this affect the standard of living of the average American?
Consider an individual aged 64 who is eligible to collect full social security (public pension) benefits of $6000 for a year. She has no other income, but can work at a weekly wage rate of $600 for a maximum of 52 weeks. Receipt of benefits from the social security program is retirement-tested. Specif- ically, the individual can earn up to $9000 in annual wage income without a reduction in benefits; how- ever, after $9000 of earnings, benefits are reduced by 50 percent for every dollar earned, until the ben- efits are exhausted. a. Carefully draw and label the budget constraint for this individual. b. Consider an individual whose labour supply decision is such that she receives YA in social security benefits, so that 0 , YA , $6000 (i.e., she receives positive but reduced benefits). On the carefully labelled diagram from part (a), show her labour supply decision. c. “Elimination of the retirement test (i.e., allowing the individual to keep all benefits, irrespective of his or her…
The United States has established a progressive income tax system, where a worker’s tax rate onearnings increases as she earns more money. There are 168 hours in a given week. Assume thatfor the first 56 hours worked, the tax rate is t1, which means that the net real wage is w*(1-t1).After working the 56th hour, the worker jumps to a higher tax rate t2. After the 112th hourworked, the individual jumps to an even higher tax rate, t3.(a) During most election years, some politicians argue that a having a flat tax system isbetter. Assume that there is a proposal to institute a flat tax, where all workers pay a taxrate equal to t4, which is greater than t3. On the same set of axes, graph the budgetconstraints associated with the progressive tax system and the flat tax system. Make sureto label all of the slopes.(b) Would moving to this proposed flat tax system likely encourage more or fewer hoursworked for relatively high-wage workers? Make sure to explain your answer (a writtenexplanation…

Unemployment benefits are subject to income taxes. They are not (by default) subject to withholding, or to payroll taxes. Suppose that a particular worker is subject to a payroll tax of 7.65% of her wages; that she pays an average income tax rate of 10%; and that after losing her job, she is eligible to receive 60% of her previous weekly income. (Show Work) (a) What fraction of her take-home paycheck will she receive from unemployment insurance? (b) What effect does the tax treatment of unemployment insurance benefits have on the ability it provides its recipients for smoothing? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.
Consider a family where both the husband and wife work, and assume each spouse ha three more years to work (after the current year) before retirement. Following Table indicates the projected combined salary over the remaining working years if they each stay with their currentemployers.
