The $2000  contribution to an IRA should be treated as an An adjustment to income in arriving at adjusted gross income.

<h3>The reason Hall has to go with this option</h3>

The individuals that are not in a retirement plan of a company have the option of deducting their cash contributions to their own retirement accounts.

They are able to do this given that the money is 6000 dollars or a hundred percent of their gross income.

Taxes are not paid on interest in this type of account till the earnings from the retirement plan is distributed.

Consumer surplus is A. the difference between the highest price a consumer is willing to pay and the price the consumer actually
ss7ja [257]

Answer is A

Explanation: Consumer surplus actually happens when a customer is willing and ready to pay for a particular product than its current market price. It is a measure of the additional benefits a consumer gets after paying for a product even though they are willing to pay more.

For example: Let's assume you want to get a IPhone 8 plus and you value it at $800 dollars, which you are ready to pay, but realise it is sold at $700. When you buy it at $700, the customer surplus is $100, that is a difference between how much you were willing to pay and the price you eventually got it.

Consumer Surplus changes as the equilibrium price of a good rises or falls. If the price of a good rises, the consumer surplus decreases but when the price of the good falls, the consumer surplus increases.
