Which kind of decisions involving resources must producers of goods and services make? ECONOMICS.

Jake considers himself to be a follower of Thomas Malthus. Which of the following statements would Jake be most likely to make?

Ber [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The Malthus theory states that population should be controlled because there are no enough resources to please the future needs. This is how it works: in the short-run there is a change in technology that leads to an increase in income. Because people have more income, better life standards, the birth rate increases and exceeds the death rate. In the long-run total income would have to be distributed between more people than before and the economy reaches the equilibrium again, in which the birth rate equals the death rate.

In other words, econmic success becomes a reproductive success.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

$\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 613.40-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 104.40=\$ 36.70+\$ 12.53=\$ 49.23$

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $49.23.

The wages falls under the category of Over $444 but under $1,177.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $0 + 10% of excess over $444.
