Explanation of Solution

The construction of school forces the government to boost is expenses in the market by increasing business revenues. Resource owners of the school construction have a raise in income. These resources need to be side tracked from private sector. Taxes might have to increase to construct the high school.

In case, the economy is facing an unemployment and if the government intensifies by spending the employment and thus, the total output rate will increase. Income distribution's effect has a dependency on the tax systems progress versus the compensation distribution to resources who built the school.

Explanation of Solution

It reduces the financial resources transfer from the businesses to the government. Then the business tax reduces and thus, the business owners will get a bigger percent of the income. These companies use the amplified profits to acquire capital commodities and labor. The weakening of the commercial income tax forces the government to reduce spending, and corporate spending increases the causing resource reallocation.

In case, the economy is facing unemployment and no reduction in government expenses, we see an increased spending if the companies increase their expenses on capital commodities. The distribution effect will have a dependency in knowing if the profits are going straight to people with a higher income or are these being spent for the assets and employees of the organization.

To determine

The impact over the resource reallocation of the economy.

Explanation of Solution

This will cause an increase in commodities and services to people from the government or this can be termed as net taxes that are being reduced, which is the same to a raise in transfer payments. This is the income’s redistribution in support of the people who are not wealthy. Resources to be paid by the government will be going up as additional teachers need to be employed and salaried.

This will need the resource reallocation from the private sector to the public sector by reducing the unemployment rate. In this case, there will be an upward pressure on prices to an extent if this is a transfer payment program and the production will not increase.

Explanation of Solution

This will cause an increase in net taxes paid by business. As the business will see this as an increase in costs, it will bring down its demand for resources. This will lead to resource markets that have a low flow of income.

The households will reduce their demand for utilization of commodities and services from companies as they have a low income. So the net household taxes that the government receives will decrease. The distribution of income will be away from profits toward the other three categories to the extent that the total tax revenues increase.

There will be a slight increase in the allocation of resources from the private sector to the public sector. Resources will also be allocated towards pollution control equipment. As the supply has reduced due to the increase in costs to business, unemployment and thus, the prices will increase.

If the tax code exempts the first $20,000 of income from taxation and then taxes 25 percent of all income above that level, then a person who earns percent and a marginal tax rate of $50,000 has an average tax rate of percent.   O 15, 25 O 25, 15 O 25, 30 O 30, 25
Wealth, earnings, and disposable income are just three of several ways of looking at inequality. Imagine a household that earns $80,000 per year from labor. In that year, it also receives an income of $3,000 from investments, pays $12,000 in tax, and receives $7,000 in transfers from the state. Which of the following is its market income and its disposable income? O $83,000; $71,000. O $83,000 $78,000. O $80,000; $68,000. O $80,000; $75,000. J
4. Suppose that there are two households in the economy, A and B, that they face the same wage rate w, and that the government initially uses a proportional income tax according to which each household must pay a fraction t of its labor income as income tax. Assume that given this tax scheme household A chooses to work full time while household B chooses to work part time. Now suppose that the government is interesting in studying the impact of changing the tax system to a progressive tax system where the household work- ing full time would pay a tax rate th >t while the household working part time would pay a rate ti < t.   (a) Draw a graph of the impact of this change on the budget constraint that households face with the two different tax systems. (b) What would such a change in the tax system imply for the optimal choice of the two households?
