The marginal tax rate is the rate paid on the last dollar of income; this would be whatever tax bracket the family is in. The average price is the total tax divided by the total revenue. </span><span>
Family A: </span><span>
</span><span>
total income $40,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), and $10,000 at 20% (tax of $2,000). The last rate paid is 20% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $4,000, divide that by $40,000 total income, that is the average rate. </span><span>
Family B: </span><span>
</span><span>
total income $100,000: this includes $10,000 at 0%, $20,000 at 10% (tax of $2,000), $20,000 at 20% (tax of $4,000), $30,000 at 30% (tax of $9,000), and $20,000 at 40% (tax of $8,000). The last rate paid is 40% so that is the marginal rate; the total tax paid is $23,000, divide that by $100,000 total income, that is the average rate.</span>
Answer:
"Become more intense
" is the right answer.
Explanation:
- Global or Economic competition seems to be on the market for several years with environmental regulations being reduced and that many markets liberalized.
- A commonly held view of intensified global competition is its impact on individuals' tendency to find employment or maintain their present employment.
So that the above is the correct approach.
Answer:
a. What is the MRP per driver per day?
- the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day
b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60 packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?
- if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.
c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
- in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.
d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 60 = $5
- the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.
