In the country of Taxo, each household pays taxes on its annual household income as determined by the following:
- A household with income between $0 and $20,000 pays no tax.
- For each $1 of income beyond $20,000, and up to $50,000, the household must pay $020 in tax.
- For each $1 of income beyond $50,000, and up to $100,000, the household must pay $0.40 in tax.
- For each $1 of income beyond $100,000 the household must pay $0.60 in tax.
This situation gives rise to a tax function in which the input is annual household income and the output is the taxes paid;
a. Make a table for the tax function.
b. Draw a graph of the tax function.
c. Is there a single equation for the tax function?

- What is the total effect on the economy of a government tax rebate of $500 to each household in order to stimulate the economy if each household will spend of the rebate in goods and services?arrow_forwardIf during the following year it is predicted that each comedy skit will generate 30 thousand and each musical number 20 thousand, find the maximum income for the year. A television program director must schedule comedy skits and musical numbers for prime-time variety shows. Each comedy skit requires 2 hours of rehearsal time, costs 3000, and brings in 20,000 from the shows sponsors. Each musical number requires 1 hour of rehearsal time, costs 6000, and generates 12,000. If 250 hours are available for rehearsal and 600,000 is budgeted for comedy and music, how many segments of each type should be produced to maximize income? Find the maximum income.arrow_forward
