D) Both will pay the same amount of dollars in the tax even though Jack pays in a higher tax bracket.

Explanation:

With the regressive tax system, the higher you earn the lower the tax you are liable to pay.

Since Priscilla earns more that the cap of $90,000 she is liable to pay tax on only the $90,000 and the rest ($130,000-$90,000) $40,000 is exempted from tax.

Whiles Jack is liable to the same tax as Priscilla thought he earns lower than her.

<em>Computations.</em>

Jack: 5% x $90,000 = $4,500

Priscilla: 5% x $90,00 = $4,500

<em>Amount to take home</em>.

Jack: $90,000 - $4,500 = $85,500

Priscilla: $130,000 - $4,500= $125,500

lana [24]

Answer:

b. an outward shift of the production possibilities curve along both axes

Explanation:

As we know that outward shift refers to the growth.

Baby boomers is a term used for the human generation born between 1946 and 1964 after the end of world war 2 when the birth rate across the world was narrowed and thereafter the emerging births of new infants were known as Baby Boom.
