An independent contractor is someone that has his or her won personal business but still does work for other organizations or businesses. Is should be noted that independent contractors should not be considered to be part of the workers in the organization they work for.
Beth Caldwell should not take taxes out of the payments that will be paid to the person because he is responsible for his or her won payment and normally, they pay the self employment tax which is just like paying for social security and Medicare taxes.

Explanation:
The supply curve of a firm is closely related to the cost of production of the firm in a competitive market. If the cost of production is lower the firm will be able to supply more. If the cost of production is higher, the firm will supply less.
The cost of production, on the other hand, depends upon the price of inputs used in the process of production.
Consumer preferences and income tax rates affect the demand for goods. The interest rate on government bonds affects its demand.

c. the cost of driving the next 25 miles, but not the cost of driving the first 500.
Explanation:
500 miles already have been driven and all the cost incurred before is considered to be sunk cost for the decision to be made. Any additional cost to change the decision or make the decision will be the opportunity cost of that event. In this example only 25 miles cost will be an opportunity cost of visiting the attraction never been visited before.
Answer:
(i) $940 billion
(ii) $380 billion
(iii) -$80 billion
(iv) $300 billion
Explanation:
Income, Y = $1,500 billion
Government spending, G = $260 billion
Taxes, T = $180 billion,
Investment spending, I = $300 billion
As Y = C + G + I
Consumption spending, C = $1,500 - $260 - $300
= $940 billion
Private savings = Y - T - C
= $1,500 - $180 - $940
= $380 billion
Public saving = T - G
= $180 - $260
= -$80 billion
National saving = private + public
= $380 - $80
= $300 billion
