Answer: 16 Banana's or 8 Apples

Explanation:

Budget constrain is a mathematical expression which shows us the quantity of goods that can be purchases at given prices and income. Since, income of the consumer is limited, he must allocate his consumption in a way that he can buy maximum goods at the given prices.

The budget constrain faced by the person is

1.50*Q_{A} + 0.75*Q_{B} \leq 12

If the person spends all his income on Apple's, he buys

\frac{12}{1.50}

= 8 Apples

If the person spends all his income on Banana's, he buys

\frac{12}{0.75}

= 16 Banana's

B. $1,750

C. $2,900

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine Terri's taxable income

TAXABLE INCOME

Earned income $3,000

Add Unearned income $5,000

Gross income & AGI $8,000

($3,000+$5,000)

Less: Standard deduction ($3,350)

(Greater of either $3,000 or $1,050 income earned +$350)

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Therefore Terri's taxable income is $4,650

b. Calculation to determine How much of Terri's income is taxed at her rate

TAXED AT TERRI'S RATE​

Taxable income $4,650

($8,000-$3,350)

Less: amount taxed at parents' rate ($2,900)

($5,000-$2,100)

Taxed at Terri's rate​ $1,750

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her rate is $1,750

c. Calculation to determine How much is taxed at her parent's rate

TAXED AT PARENTS' RATE:

Net unearned income=$5,000-$2,100

Net unearned income= $2,900

($5,000-$2,100)

Therefore The amount of Terri's income that is taxed at her parent's rate is $2,900

Masja [62]

Answer:

1. Medicare tax.

2. Local income tax.

3. Federal income tax.

4. Social Security tax.

5. State income tax.

Explanation:

Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.

The various type of tax with their correct description are;

1. Medicare tax: it is used to support healthcare costs for retired workers. An example is the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which became effective on the 23rd of March, 2010 and it's focused on making affordable health insurance available to qualified people or households through cost-sharing reductions and premium tax credits (subsidies).

2. Local income tax: it is collected by town, school district, counties and cities to fund city or community programs.

3. Federal income tax: it is collected from most workers, who pay up to 39.6 percent of their earnings. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.

4. Social Security tax: it is used to provide financial support to retired and disabled workers. In the United States of America, the Social Security Administration (SSA) adopted the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program to support retired and disabled workers.

5. State income tax: it is collected from workers in most states to fund their budget and the rate differs from state to state.

Suppose that the market equilibrium price for a basic medical check-up is $50, in a market in which there is no health insurance
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The number of check-ups in this market would decrease.

Explanation:

This is an example of price ceiling.  

Price ceiling refers to a legal maximum price that is set by the government for a commodity to be sold.

Price ceiling set below the equilibrium price will result in a supply shortage as it will be effective and binding, while price ceiling set above the equilibrium price will not affect quantity supplied in the market as it will not be effective and binding.

Since the $40 price of heck-up is below $50 equilibrium price, it will result in shortage supply and the number of check-ups in this market would decrease.
