Answer:
$12,240
Explanation:
Social security Tax = $80,000 x 12.4%
Social security Tax = $9,920
Medicare Tax = $80,0000 x 2.9%
Medicare Tax = $2,320
Total tax = $9,920 + $2,320
Total tax = $12,240
in this case, identical changes in autonomous consumption and autonomous government spending: <span> have different effects on equilibrium income
When a factor is implemented and have two different reaction, it is safe to assume that that factor have two different effects.
For example, an increasing interest in technology(autonomous consumption) may increased the investment for tech products. The government spending may not give as much influence in this context because it wont affect the transaction between the customers and the producer

Answer:
Monthly savings= $3,584.42
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Ross has decided that he wants to build enough retirement wealth that, if invested at 6 percent per year, will provide him with $4,600 of monthly income for 30 years. To date, he has saved nothing, but he still has 20 years until he retires.
First, we need to find the final value.
FV= (4,600*12)*30= $1,656,000
Now, we can calculate the monthly deposit:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
i= 0.06/12= 0.005
n= 20*12= 240
A= (1,656,000*0.005)/[(1.005^240)-1]= 8,280/ 2.31= $3,584.42
M1 money growth in the US was about 16% in 2008, 7% in 2009 and 9% in 2010. Over the same time period, the yield on 3-month Treasury bills fell from almost 3% to close to 0%. Given these high rates of money growth, why did interest rates fall, rather than increase? What does this say about the income, price level and expected-inflation effects?
Higher money growth (increase in the money supply) should have the following effects:
Liquidity effect indicates that this growth in money should shift money supply to the right, which should decrease the interest rate.
Income effect indicates that the growth in money should increase income levels, which should increase the demand for money and shift the demand curve to the right. This should increase the interest rate.
The price level effect indicates that the growth in money should increase price levels, which should increase the demand for money and shift the demand curve to the right. This should also increase the interest rate.
During this time period, unemployment was high, economic growth was weak and policymakers were more concerned with deflation than they were with inflation.
Therefore, the expected inflation effect was almost non-existent (due to the concerns with deflation) and the liquidity effect dominated all other effects, which made interest rates fall.
