How does income inequality affect American taxpayers

1 answer:

3 0

If the tax system in the US is progressive, then those with lower income will pay proportionally less than those with higher income as the latter will have a higher tax rate but in fact the rich people usually have or find a lot of tax loopholes to reduce their taxes so may still not be paying a fair share of their taxes compared to the poor people who don't have these loopholes.

A furnace repair team services a design capacity of 6 furnaces per day with an effective capacity of 5 furnaces per day. What is

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

66.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Design capacity = 6 furnaces per day

Effective capacity = 5 furnaces per day

Efficiency ratio if it repairs an average of 4 furnaces per day:

= (Actual capacity ÷ Possible capacity) × 100

= (4 per day ÷ 6 per day) × 100

= 0.667 × 100

= 66.7%

Therefore, the efficiency ratio is 66.7 percent.

The steam requirements of a manufacturing facility are being met by a boiler whose rated heat input is 5.5 × 106 Btu/h. The comb

e-lub [12.9K]

Solution:

Given Information,

Heat input is ( $Q_{in}$ ) = 5.5 × $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Combustion efficiency of the boiler ( $n_{furnance}$ ) = 0.7

Combustion efficiency after turn up ( $n_{furnance,now}$ ) = 0.8

Operation Hour (t) = 5200h

Unit cost (c) = $\frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }$

Calculate heat output from the boiler $Q_{out}$ = $Q_{in}$ x $n_{furnance}$

= 5.5 x $10^{6}$ x 0.7

= 3.85 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the heat input to the boiler after the tune-up

$(Q_{in} ){new}$ = $Q_{out}$ / $(n_{furnance} ){new}$

= 3.85 x $10^{6}$ / 0.8

= 4.8125 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the saved energy after the tune-up

$(Q_{in} ){saved}$ = $Q_{in}$ - $(Q_{in} ){new}$

= 5.5 x $10^{6}$ - 4.8125 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

= 0.6875 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the annual energy saving ( $E_{Saving}$ )

$E_{Saving}$ = $(Q_{in} ){saved}$ x t

= ( 0.6875 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h ) ( 5200 hr/yr)

= 3575 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h

Calculate the annual cost saving

Annual cost saving = $E_{Annual saving}$ x Unit cost

= 3575 x $10^{6}$ Btu/h x $\frac{23 dollar}{10^{6}Btu }$

= 82225

The New American Enterprise Mutual Fund's portfolio is valued at $120,000,000. The fund has liabilities of $4,000,000, and the i

sasho [114]

Answer:

e. $20

Explanation:

The net asset value (N) for The New American Enterprise Mutual Fund's portfolio is given by the funds total value ($120,000,000) subtracted by its liabilities ($4,000,000) and then divided by the number of shares issued (5,800,000) .

$N = \frac{\$120,000,000-\$4,000,000}{5,800,000} \\N=\$20$

The fund's net asset value is $20
