Answer:

When Economists say that humans make decisions at the margin they mean that decisions are made on the basis of the cost and benefit of getting an additional unit of a good/ service.

Marginal benefit refers to the additional utility that we will derive from consuming one extra unit of a good or service and factors in heavily into our decision making. We usually accept a decision if the Marginal benefit is higher or equal to the Marginal cost ( cost of the additional unit) of the good/service.

If the Marginal Cost is instead higher, the decision would most probably be cancelled.

Marilyn has a biweekly gross pay of $810 and claims 3 federal withholding allowances. Marilyn has all of the following deduction

frutty [35]

The net pay of Marilyn will increase by $18.15 due to the increase in the federal withholding allowances from 3 to 4.

<h3>The computation of net pay considering various federal withholding allowances</h3>

Given,

Gross pay =$810

3 Federal withholding allowances =$37 (taken from the reference table)

4 Federal withholding allowances =$22 (taken from the reference table)

Federal state tax rate =21%

First, the state tax rate and the total amount of withholding for 3 Federal withholding allowances are computed:

$\begin{aligned}\text{State Tax}&=\text{Claim Amount}\times\text{Federal State Tax Rate}\\&=\$37\times21\%\\&=\$7.77\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\text{Total Amount of 3 withholdings}&=\text{Claim Amount}+\text{State Tax}\\&=\$37+\$7.77\\&=\$44.77\end{aligned}$

Now, the state tax rate and the total amount of withholding for 4 Federal withholding allowances are computed:

$\begin{aligned}\text{State Tax}&=\text{Claim Amount}\times\text{Federal State Tax Rate}\\&=\$22\times21\%\\&=\$4.62\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\text{Total Amount of 4 withholdings}&=\text{Claim Amount}+\text{State Tax}\\&=\$22+\$4.62\\&=\$26.62\end{aligned}$

The difference in the net pay will be the difference between $44.77 and $26.62, which is $18.15.

Therefore, Marilyn withholding will decrease from $44.77 to $26.62 that is increasing the net pay by $18.15

A government deficit has increased from 30 to 50. The country's trade deficit is 100 and private savings equal 65 and investment

viva [34]

Answer:

If Ricardian neutrality holds true, after this change in the government's budget, private savings will equal 40.

Explanation:

S - I = X - M, where

S = Sp + Sg, where

Sp: private saving

Sg: Public saving = T - G

Sp + T - G - I = X - M

or,

Sp - I = (G - T) - (M - X) = Budget deficit - Trade deficit

Initially,

65 - 30 = 90 - 100 = - 10

When budget deficit falls to 50,

Sp - 90 = 50 - 100

Sp = - 50 + 90 = 40

Therefore, If Ricardian neutrality holds true, after this change in the government's budget, private savings will equal 40.
