Adams Corporation manufactures appliances. This year, the government increased the corporate tax rate by 5 percent. Adams responded by raising its prices. Customer demand remained steady; therefore, Adams's before-tax profits increased and after-tax profits remained constant.
Required:
Who bears the incidence of the increase in Adams's corporate tax?
How would your answer change if Adams did not raise prices, resulting in a decline in its after-tax profits and a drop in the market price of its stock?
Hi, can you explain how does this aspect affects the U.S economy?
Tax rates. The new law imposes a new tax rate structure with seven tax brackets: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35%, and 37%. The top rate was reduced from 39.6% to 37% and applies to taxable income above $500,000 for single taxpayers, and $600,000 for married couples filing jointly. The rates applicable to net capital gains and qualified dividends were not changed. The “kiddie tax” rules were simplified. The net unearned income of a child subject to the rules will be taxed at the capital gain and ordinary income rates that apply to trusts and estates. Thus, the child’s tax is unaffected by the parent’s tax situation or the unearned income of any siblings.

- Let's say the following tax cut was applied to U.S. taxpayers who earned up to $55,000 per year. On average, these taxpayers retained 5% more of their income than before the cuts. The tax cut also gave the same taxpayers a separate $500 credit on their federal tax return. This amounted to a person who earned $55,000 per year receiving $3,250 extra due to federal tax cuts. This extra money represents what percent of the typical person’s salary? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.arrow_forwardA company recently reported $9.7 million of net income.

- According to a professional analysis of one proposed federal tax cut (by the accounting firm Deloitte and Touche), the cut would have resulted in the following income tax savings: a single person with a household income of $41,000 would save $211 in taxes; a single person with a household income of $530,000 would save $12,838 in taxes; a married couple with two children and a household income of $41,000 would save $1208 in taxes; and a married couple with two children and a household income of $530,000 would save $13,442 in taxes. Find the absolute difference in savings between a single person earning $41,000 and a single person earning $530,000. Then express the savings as a percentage of earnings for each person.
