Many people have argued that an income tax should be​ "marriage neutral," that​ is, two people should pay the same total tax whe

ther they are married or they are single. Suppose Amanda earns​ nothing, Ben earns​ $60,000, and Cathy and Dylan each earn​ $30,000. They are all single. Amanda pays no tax because she has no income. If they all live in a country that has a progressive income​ tax, which will be​ higher: the tax that Ben pays or the sum of the taxes Cathy and Dylan​ pay?

Answer:

Ben would pay more in taxes.

Explanation:

A progressive income tax increases the tax rate as the taxpayer earns more money.

In this case, Ben would be taxed as earnings $60,000 which is probably a much higher tax rate than the applicable one for $30,000. If we use the current tax brackets for 2020, Ben would fall under the 22% tax bracket while both Cathy and Dylan would fall under the 12% tax bracket. Obviously Ben would pay much more in taxes.

Answer:

(a) $ 1200

(b) $ 702.5

Explanation:

In the demand and supply curve, the price of goods and services changes with respect to market conditions such as scarcity and consumers' needs. In the problem, if the producers charge about $497.50, the scalper will definitely charge a price higher than that of the producers, in this case, $1200. Thus, this is $702.5 (i.e. $1200 - $497.50) more than the producers' charge.
