A progressive tax system imposes taxes depending on income earned. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate. It means individuals and entities with a higher income with pay more taxes. A progressive tax system promotes equity by imposing higher taxes on the wealthy and lower taxes on the poor. The US income tax system is an example of a progressive tax.
A regressive tax system does not discriminate on income. It taxes all eligible taxpayers equally regardless of their income level. A regressive tax applies the same tax rate for everyone. Sale tax imposed on goods sold is an example of regressive tax. The regressive tax system takes a higher proposition of income from the low-income earners.
Answer:
$6360
Explanation:
Contract value when the trader sold short = 76.98c * 50000 = $38,490
Contract value when he closed out his contract = 64.26c * 50000 = $32,130
Since the trader had sold short, he is speculating that the price of the futures contract will go down. The value of the contract did go down (in the traders favor) so the difference in value when he sold short and when he closed out his contract will be the profit gained in dollars. Please note that the initial futures prices are quoted in cents and would need to be converted to dollars by dividing by 100c i.e. 3,213,000c = $32,130
Therefore the profit made by the trader in dollars is $38,490 - $32.130 = $6360
