Suppose Congress is considering raising the top federal marginal tax rate from 35% to 40%. Senator Jones believes the elasticity

of taxable income is large. Senator Smith believes the elasticity of taxable income is small. (Both believe the elasticity is positive.) The Congressional Budget Office estimates the effects of the tax proposal using each Senator's assumptions. (i) Will the estimates of additional revenue from the tax increase be larger or smaller under Senator Jones's assumptions, compared to Senator Smith's assumptions? (ii) What about estimates of the efficiency costs of the tax increase: which set of assumptions leads to the higher estimate?

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution-

According to Senator Jones, the elasticity of taxable income is larger, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a greater percentage. Also, according to Senator Smith, the elasticity of taxable income is small, which means that due to a certain percentage rise in taxes, the taxable income rises by a smaller percentage.

(I) Under Senator Jones assumptions, due to rise in taxes, the taxable income has risen considerably as compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the estimates of additional revenue from the tax increase will be larger under Senator Jones assumptions, compared to Smith's assumptions.

(ii) Since under Senator Jones assumptions, elasticity of taxable income is large. So due to rise in taxes, there is a significant proportional rise in taxable income under Jone's assumptions compared to Senator Smith assumptions. Thus the costs of the tax increase is borne more under Senator Jones assumptions , compared to Smith's assumptions.

At some colleges and universities, economics professors receive higher salaries than professors in some other fields.
koban [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

At some colleges and universities, economics professors receive higher salaries than professors in some other fields.

A. Why might this be true?

Economists have a higher opportunity cost working in academia than professors in other fields because in certain fields that are different from academic,there is a lack of labor opportunity for professor and even when such arise ,they are difficult to get and another reason may be that economists who are good in some fields may employ themselves in other firms with higher wages because of their real life first hand experience, even when some colleges and universities wants to hire them, got to spend a greater amount of money than for professors in some other fields.

B. Some other colleges and universities have a policy of paying equal salaries to professors in all fields. At some of these schools, economics professors have lighter teaching loads than professors in some other fields. What role do the differences in teaching loads play

In order for  university to employ working force which is hard to find, they put in place differences in teaching loads ,such differences in teaching load are intended to attract economics professors by providing nonmetary compensation

Answer:

total value of ending WIP inventory:       8,400

Explanation:

unit material cost: 5.00 dollar

ending work in proces inventory

materials equivalent units:

1,500 x 100% = 1,500

as the mateirals are added entire at the beginning of the process:

material cost: 1,500 x 5 = 7,500

conversion

1,500 x 20% = 300

300 x 3.00 = 900

total value of ending WIP inventory:

materials 7,500

conversion 900

total        8,400

Suppose you are going to receive $13,200 per year for five years. The appropriate interest rate is 8.1 percent.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

a-1) Pv = 52549

a-2) Pv = 56822

b-1) Fv = 77570

b-2 Fv = 83878

Explanation:

b-1) Future value:

S= Sum of amount of annuity=?

n=number of fixed periods=5 years

R=Fixed regular payments=13200

i=Compound interest rate= .081 (suppose annualy)

we know that ordinary  annuity:

S= R [(1+i)∧n-1)]/i

   = 13200[(1+.081)∧5-1]/.081

    =13200(1.476-1)/.081

    = 13200 * 5.8765

  S  = 77570

a.1)Present value of ordinary annuity:

Formula: Present value = C* [(1-(1+i)∧-n)]/i

                                  =13200 * [(1-(1+.081)∧-5]/.081

                                 =13200 * (1-.6774)/.081

                                =13200 * (.3225/.081)

                                =52549

a.2)Present value of ordinary Due:

Formula : Present value = C * [(1-(1+i)∧-n)]/i   *  (1+i)

                                    =  13200 * [(1- (1+.081)∧-5)/.081   * (1+.081)

                                 = 13200  * 3.9822 *  1.081

                               =  56822

b-2) Future value=?

we know that:         S= R [(1+i)∧n+1)-1]/i ]  -R

                             = 13200[ [ (1+.081)∧  5+1 ]-1/.081]   - 13200

                           = 13200 (.5957/.081)   -13200

                         = (13200 * 7.3544)-13200

                         = 97078  -  13200

                       =  83878
