Answer:
D
Explanation:
The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.
In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.
Meghann carlson QBI deduction is = $548,623
Solution:
The qualifying business income exclusion (QBI) referred to as Section 199A requires operators to receive up to 20 percent of their eligible business earnings for a tax deduction. It was implemented in the context of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2017.
Since gross deduction for QBI deduction is set at 20% of lower of QBI ($129,100 ) or Taxable income($103,280)
So the lower is taxable income ,
i.e $103,280 × 20% ( 103,280 × 20÷ 100)
= 20,656 ( 206.56 )
= $548,623
