The current equilibrium price and quantity in the chewing gum market are $3 and 156,000 units, respectively. The government introduces a tax of $0.75 per unit which leads to the price that buyers pay to increase to $3.25 and the price that sellers receive to fall to $2.50, while the quantity traded drops to 150,000. 1) Calculate the tax incidence on buyers and sellers. Who bears the largest burden of the tax? 2 ) What is the revenue that the government collects from the tax? Show all your calculations either in the answer box below or on the file you will upload. If your calculations are on the uploaded file, your final answer should still be in the answer box below. Round your results to two decimal places if needed.
The Fleming Company, a food distributor, is considering replacing a filling line at its Oklahoma City warehouse. The existing line was purchased several years ago for $600,000. The line’s book value is $200,000, and Fleming management feels it could be sold at this time for $150,000. A new, increased capacity line can be purchased for $1,200,000. Delivery and installation of the new line are expected to cost an additional $100,000. Assuming Fleming’s marginal tax rate is 40%, calculate the net investment for the new line.

Hyundai is considering opening a plant in two neighboring states. Option 1: One state has a corporate tax rate of 10 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,250,000 pretax profit. Option 2: The other state has a corporate tax rate of 2 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,180,000 of pretax profit. Required: What is the after-state-taxes profit in the state with the 10% tax rate? What is the after-state-taxes profit in the state with the 2% tax rate? Which state should Hyundai choose?
1. Suppose a proposed new road to be constructed in North Carolina between Raleigh and Morehead City will lower the average cost per trip by car from $5 to $4. Currently, 500,000 trips are made between the two cities per year. An estimate indicates that, all other things being equal, the new road will increase the number of trips per year to 600,000. Calculate the annual benefits to motorists of the new road as based on their willingness to pay. 2. A new tax is levied on airline profits to finance improvements in the nation’s airports. The current market rate of interest is 8 percent. However, airline profits are subject to a 50 percent tax. A cost-benefit analysis calculates the percent return to the investment in new air facilities to be 12 percent. Will net benefits from resource use increase as a result of construction of new air travel facilities?
Can you help in calculating the NPV for this ? Consider the following data - A machine costs $600 today (year 0). Assume this investment is fully tax-deductible, as stipulated by the new US corporate tax code of 2018. - This company has current pre-tax profits from other projects that are greater than $600, so it can take full advantage of the investment tax break above in year 0. - The machine will generate operating profits before depreciation (EBITDA) of $312 per year for 5 years. The first cash flow happens one year after the machine is put in place (year 1). - Depreciation is not tax-deductible. Notice that you do not need to calculate depreciation at all to solve this problem since it has no effect on taxes. - The tax rate is 21%…

Imagine the country is made up of 100 households. The federal government needs to collect $800,000 in income taxes to be able to function. The population consists of 6 groups: Group A: 20 households that earn $12,000 each Group B: 20 households that earn $29,000 each Group C: 20 households that earn $50,000 each Group D: 20 households that earn $79,000 each Group E: 15 households that earn $129,000 each Group F: 5 households that earn $295,000 each This scenario is roughly proportional to the actual United States population and tax needs. We are going to determine new income tax rates. The first proposal we’ll consider is a flat tax – one where every income group is taxed at the same percentage tax rate. 1) Determine the total income for the population (all 100 people together) 2) Determine what flat tax rate would be necessary to collect enough money. The second proposal we’ll consider is a modified flat-tax plan, where everyone only pays taxes on any income over $20,000. So, everyone…
Suppose you have been hired by President Emmanuel Macron of France as an economic policy consultant. In order to finance an increase in unemployment benefits, the French government needs to raise €10 billion in additional tax revenue. President Macron is considering two policies to achieve this goal: a new tax on gasoline or a new tax on bequests (money left to your children or other heirs). Which of these two policies would be the most economically efficient? Why? Explain why the policy you recommended in a.) might be politically unpopular. Dismayed by your assessment, President Macron proposes a third alternative: a broad decrease in current taxes. Explain why this could increase tax revenue for the French government, but it is unlikely to work in practice.
