Suppose in studying Climate Change we discover that in one country, deserts are going to be created where formerly there was grasslands and an abundance of water and in another place the coastlines are going to be altered. If you are an American, how do you think a politician is going to respond to such a problem.

Will his/her response be well thought out based on scientific preparedness, or will he (or she) grab onto the first solution suggestion to him/her and try and implement that?

Whatever he/she does, it will cost and everyone will be affected. A starting place is to find out what presidents in the past have done. During the Bush administration (the second Bush), there was an oil crisis. He responded by allocating more acreage to the growing of corn so supplementing oil production. Replaceable resources for non renewable ones. Sounded like a very good solution, but was it? As it turned out, no. He was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Thousands of people suffered (and died) with that decision because food is much more important than solving transportation problems at the expense of food.

The same is true here. If a solution is sought for global warming, politicians have to be well aware of what they are doing. And that has to be studied very carefully.

For a perfectly competitive firm, which of the following is not true at profit maximization?a. Total revenue minus total cost is
topjm [15]

Answer: Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

Correct option: Market price is greater than marginal cost.

In a perfectly competitive market, there are large number of buyers and sellers. So, price is determined by the market forces.

At a point of profit maximization, price is equal to the marginal cost and we have to maximize the difference of the total revenue and total cost. It was not seen in a perfectly competitive market that the price is above the marginal cost at a profit maximizing point.

Therefore, option (d) is not true.

Miley, a single taxpayer, plans on reporting $31,875 of taxable income this year (all of her income is from a part-time job). Sh
Brut [27]

Answer: a) $3,640.50

b) $1,825.50

Explanation:

The key thing is to note that tax rates vary per income and various income levels have different taxes. In calculating you add up the maximum of the lower level as you move higher up the classes. Let's solve the question to understand.

Total tax liability when taxable income is $31,875:

Tax rate for,

$0 to $9,225 = 10%

= $9,225*10/100

= $922.50

Her income is still higher so we go to the next class,

$9,225 to $31,875 = 12%

= $31,875 - $9,225

= $22,650*12/100

= $2,718

Total tax liability when taxable income is $31,875

= $2,718 + $922.50

= $3,640.50

Now, if the second part-time job is added then total taxable income is $31,875 + $11,400 = $43,275

We go up the classes again,

$0 to $9,225 = 10%

= $9,225*10/100

= $922.50

$9,225 to $38,700 = 12%

= $38,700 - $9,225

= $29,475*12/100

= $3,537

$38,700 to $43,275 = 22%

= $43,275 - $38,700

= $4,575 * 22/100

= $1,006.5

Total tax liability when taxable income is $43,275,

= $1,006.5 + $3,537 + $922.50

= $5,466

Increase in tax liability = $5,466 - $3,640.50

= $1,825.5

Tax liability will increase by $1,825.50 as a result of the second job.
