Answer: A. Regressive

Explanation: Regressive tax system is a system whereby people with lower income pay a higher tax than people with higher income. This is because the tax rates are applied uniformly to everyone, not taking into consideration how much one person makes in relation to another.

In the scenario given in the question above, we see that Jess pays higher than Brianna. This is because the tax rate is a flat fee of $1,000. Now, deducting this amount from the income of Jess and Brianna, we see that Jess is left with $9,000, while Brianna is left with $19,000.

Therefore, Jess has actually paid more tax than Brianna.

This system is the opposite of Progressive tax, where people are taxed based on their income. Simply put, the higher an individual earns, the higher they will pay in taxes.

The Jones Family has an annual consumer spending of $82,000. This is calculated using this formula: C = A +MD where C is the consumer spending, A is the autonomous consumption spending, M is the marginal propensity to consume, and D is the disposable income. Thus, the calculation is C = $10,000 + (0.8)($90,000). Giving C a value of $82,000.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.

Explanation:

Variance formula = sum of (probability x (r - mean)^2)

r= expected return

if the expected return would be same for each economic state then the mean would equal to expected return which ultimately will give variance zero ( as r-mean would be 0).

Hence the correct option is B. The portfolio expected rate of return must be the same for each economic state.
