Answer:
The correct answer is D. imposes a small deadweight loss relative to the tax revenue it raises.
Explanation:
By not discouraging the activity, it is understood that taxes should not distort the economic decisions of the individuals subject to taxation. In the theory of Public Finance the inefficiency of taxation can be analyzed through the so-called "excess tax", as a quantification of the loss of utility generated by a distorting tax. The excess of tax arises because the loss of total welfare generated by the tax on the individual with the modification in their behavior, is greater than the mere loss of welfare caused by the decrease in disposable income that comes with the payment of the tax. The value of excess tax that is generated by the substitution effect is greater the higher the tax rate and elasticity (Musgrave, 1986). Therefore, the relationship of exchange between efficiency and equity is not so simple for governments when designing their fiscal policy.
Answer:
$936.17
Explanation:
The current market price of the bond = present value of all coupon received + present value of face value on maturity date
The discount rate in all calculation is YTM (6.12%), and its semiannual rate is 3.06%
Coupon to received semiannual = 5.3%/2*$1000= $26.5
We can either calculate PV manually or use formula PV in excel to calculate present value:
<u>Manually:</u>
PV of all coupon received semiannual = 26.5/(1+3.06)^1 + 26.5/(1+3.06)^2....+ 26.5/(1+3.06)^24 = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
<u>In excel:</u>
PV of all coupon received semiannual = PV(3.06%,24,-$26.5) = $445.9
PV of of face value on maturity date = PV(6.12%,12,-$1000) = 1000/(1+6.12%)^12 = $490.27
The current market price of the bond = $445.9 + $490.27 = $936.17

. A good whose demand decreases when income decreases
Explanation:
A normal good is a product whose demand increases as consumers' income increases. The demand may also increase as economic conditions in the country improve. Similarly, when income decrease, the demand also declines.
As people income increase, the purchasing power increase. They prefer more costly goods than give them more satisfaction. Increased income tends to make consumers abandon goods that offer less utility. Normal goods tend to be associated with customers in high-income.
