Answer: Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Advanced technology is a determinant of supply and consumer taste & preferences is a determinant of demand.

Therefore, improvement in technology in catching fish will lead to increase the supply of fish and this will shift the supply curve rightwards. On the other hand, eating fish prevents heart attacks, hence, consumer's demand for fish increases, as a result demand curve for fish also shifts rightwards.

This will lead to increase the equilibrium quantity but effect on equilibrium price is ambiguous because it will be depend upon the magnitude of the shifts of demand and supply curve.

Suppose the economy only produces three goods: bread, laptops, and movies. Calculate the CPI of 2008, using 2004 as the base yea
arsen [322]

Answer:

Most of the question is missing, so I looked for a similar one and found the attached image.

CPI = (current year price × base year quantity) / (base year price × Base year quantity)

CPI for bread in current year = [($1.50 × 2,000) / ($1 × 2,000)] x 100 = 150

CPI for laptops in current year = [($1,500 × 100) / ($2,000 × 100)] x 100 = 75

CPI for movies in current year = [($7 × 50) / ($5 × 50)] x 100 = 140

CPI for current year = (CPI for bread x weight of bread) + (CPI of laptops x weight of laptops) + (CPI of movies x weight of movies) = (150 x $2,250/$227,530) + (75 x$225,000/$227,530) + (140 x $280/$227,530) = 1.48 + 74.17 + 0.17 =75.82

Jamie is single. In 2020, she reported $108,000 of taxable income, including a long-term capital gain of $5,800. What is her gro
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:Jamie's gross tax liability is $19,572.50

Explanation:

Since Jamie is single with taxable income of $108,000 which  includes $5,800 long term capital gain.

Therefore  $102,200 (108,000 -5,800) will be taxed under normal tax rates and $5,800 would be under long term capital gain tax rate.

With regards the 2020 tax schedule,  Since her ordinary income is  $102,200, Jamie falls under 24% rate tax bracket under filing for single status.

qd

Tax liability on ordinary income =$14,382.50 plus 24% of any income you made above $84,200

14,382.50 + 0.24 (102,200 - 84,200)

14,382.50 + 0.24 x 18000

                 = 14,382.50 + 4,320

                 = $18,702.50

Also, according to her income, longterm capital gain tax applicable in 2020 is 15%

Tax on long term capital gain = 5,800 × 0.15

                                              = $870

Jamie's gross tax liability is $18,702.50 + 870 = $19,572.50
