Answer:
The Earned Income credit
Explanation:
Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.
So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.
The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.
Answer: $15,060
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Ben and Jerry were shareholders of Water Ice Inc., an S corp. On Jan. 1, 1998, Ben owned 40 shares and Jerry owned 60 shares.
We are further told that Ben sold his shares to Joe for $10,000 on March 31, 1998 and that the corp. reported a $50,000 loss at the end of 1998. The loss that will be allocated to Joe will be:
= $50,000 × 40% × 9/12
= $50,000 × 0.4 × 0.75
= $15,000
The closest figure we have close to that is $15,060 which is option B

contract, there should be a consideration received by Mary but in this case, no
consideration was received by Mary therefore, the promise is unenforceable.</span>

2) the taxpayer shows negligence or disregard of the rules or regulations, causing an underpayment.
Explanation:
When any taxpayer shows some negligence or if they disregard the rules and the regulations, causing an underpayment, then it leads to a penalty for the disregard or the negligence.
Also, when a taxpayer intentionally understates his or her tax by a larger of $5000 or a 10% of his / her correct tax, then it is an accuracy related penalty.

Thus option (2) is correct.
