Calculation of average tax rate that will result in a 17 percent increase in tax revenues:


Currently, the average taxpayer in the united states earns $52,000 and pays an average tax rate of 20 percent, so the average tax revenue is 52000*20% = $10,400

If Congress wants to increase tax revenues by 17 percent, then the average tax revenue shall be 10400+(10400*17%) = $12,168


Hence average tax rate that will result in a 17 percent increase in tax revenues shall be = 12168 / 52000 = 0.234 = <u>23.40%</u>

Swifty Corporation reported net sales of $690000, $730000, and $828000 in the years 2016, 2017, and 2018, respectively. If 2016
Flura [38]

Answer:

120%

Explanation:

Given net sales;

Year 1996 = $690000

Year 1997 = $730000

Year 1998 = $828000

With 1996 as the base year, it means the percentage of any year can be computed by dividing the net sales for that year with the net sales for 1996 and expressing the results as a percentage.

1998 sales as a percentage of  the base represents

= $828000/$690000

= 1.2

Expressed as a percentage, this is 120%.

Which of the following is not true about the law of diminishing returns? It is a short run phenomenon. It refers to diminishing
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.  

Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.
