Janice really likes potatoes. Potatoes cost $1 per pound, and she has $5.00 that she could possibly spend on potatoes or other i

tems. Suppose she feels that the first pound of potatoes is worth $1.50, the second pound is worth $1.14, the third pound is worth $1.05, and all subsequent pounds are worth $0.30.
a. How many pounds of potatoes will she purchase?
b. What if she only had $2 to spend?
Explanation:_______
a. Janice will purchase potatoes until the value of potatoes is less than the cost of potatoes or until her income has been exhausted. For example, assume Janice has $5.00 to spend on potatoes or other items and the cost of a pound of potatoes is $1. Now assume the first pound of potatoes is worth $1.50 to Janice. She will purchase this pound of potatoes, since the value of the pound of potatoes ($1.50) is greater than the cost ($1). If the second pound is worth $1.14 and the third pound is worth $1.05, then Janice will purchase these as well, since the value exceeds the cost of $1. If all remaining pounds are worth $0.30, then Janice will not purchase these because the value is less than the cost. Thus, Janice will purchase 3 pounds of potatoes at a total cost of $3.00.
b. Now assume Janice only has $2.00 to spend on potatoes. She will purchase the first pound because it is worth $1.50 to her and it only costs $1. She will purchase the second pound because it is worth $1.14. She has now spent her entire income on potatoes. She would like to purchase the third pound because the value of this pound of potatoes is $1.05, but she does not have the income to make this purchase. Thus, Janice will purchase 2 pounds of potatoes at a total cost of $2.00.

Answer:

A) Janice will purchase 3 pounds of potatoes since she will buy them until her consumer surplus ≤ 0. The fourth pound of potatoes costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay only $0.30, so her consumer surplus s negative (-$0.70).

Consumer surplus is the difference between the price that a customer is willing and able to pay for a good and the good actual price.

B) If Janice only had $2 to spend, she would buy 2 pounds of potatoes, since her consumer surplus is positive at 2 pounds.

first pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.50, consumer surplus = $0.50

second pound costs $1, and Janice is willing to pay $1.14, consumer surplus = $0.14

Jurisdiction E spends approximately $7 million each winter on snow removal. The jurisdiction is considering adding a new income
frez [133]

Answer:

'Taxes' can be defined as a compulsory contribution to the state's or country's revenues, which are levied by the governments on personal incomes of individuals or profits of the corporate, or on some transactions.

Taxes are the main source of revenues for any government, through which it receives the necessary funds to spend on various activities it undertakes for public welfare and maintaining the law and order and security of the nation.

Many theorists believe that every tax should be evaluated on certain standards and the following four standards have been mentioned for evaluating whether taxes are good or not:

  1. Taxes should be sufficient to fulfill the government's requirements
  2. Taxes should be convenient for the government to implement and for the citizens to pay
  3. Taxes should be efficient economically
  4. Taxes should be fair

There may be certain provisions introduced in the federal tax system, which are targeted to induce certain behaviors or shift people's attention towards certain activities. These provisions are called tax preferences

Does this proposed change in Jurisdiction E's tax law meet the definition of a tax preference? Explain briefly.

In the given question, the decision of the jurisdiction to give deduction to the people for the snow removal equipment they purchase, is definitely a tax preference as it induces people to invest in snow removing machines, as they are getting full deduction of such expense in income taxes.

By having this provision, the government is motivating people to invest in these machines, and people also have the benefit of having such machine with them, and also getting tax deduction for such expense, so getting such machine almost free (this applies to people who have incomes in such tax bracket only). Thus it is the way of government in encouraging people to buy snow removing machines and reduce the burden on the government. Thus it is clearly a tax preference.

Jurisdiction E forecasts that the proposed change will decrease its annual tax revenues by $250,000 but will improve the jurisdiction's financial condition by $300,000. On what assumptions is this forecast based?

The forecast regarding decrease in annual tax and improvement in financial condition is based on the assumptions of people taking benefit of such a provision, and actually investing in snow removing machines.

The jurisdiction believes that people will purchase the machines and make claims for deductions, effecting the tax revenue by $250,000. But at the same time, as many people will themselves remove the snow, the government doesn't have to spend so much on snow removal and thus make the savings of $300,000
