Answer:

The answer is A) $2,000

Explanation:

According to the IRS Publication 525 (2018), Taxable and Nontaxable Income

<em>"</em><em><u>If you receive tangible personal property (other than cash, a gift certificate, or an equivalent item) as an award for length of service</u></em><em> or safety achievement, you generally can </em><em><u>exclude its value from your income</u></em><em>. However, the amount you can exclude is limited to your employer's cost and </em><em><u>can’t be more than $1,600</u></em><em> ($400 for awards that aren’t qualified plan awards) for all such awards you receive during the year. Your employer can tell you whether your award is a qualified plan award. Your employer must make the award as part of a meaningful presentation, under conditions and circumstances that don’t create a significant likelihood of it being disguised pay." </em>

Ed has to include the $2,000 he received as income but the $250 watch can be excluded.

How does income inequality affect American taxpayers
nikdorinn [45]
If the tax system in the US is progressive, then those with lower income will pay proportionally less than those with higher income as the latter will have a higher tax rate but in fact the rich people usually have or find a lot of tax loopholes to reduce their taxes so may still not be paying a fair share of their taxes compared to the poor people who don't have these loopholes.

Luden [163]

HERE IS/ARE THE FULL QUESTION(S):

The small island nation of Kaboom is a simple economy with no​ government, no​ taxes, and no imports or exports. Kaboomers​ (citizens of​ Kaboom) are creatures of habit. They have a rule that everyone saves exactly 40 percent of income. Assume that planned investment is fixed and remains at 225 million Kaboomian dollars. Further assume that autonomous consumption​ (independent of​ Y) is​ zero, so consumption​ (C) is MPC times Upper YMPC×Y.

The following data are estimates for the island of​ Kaboom:

bullet• Real GNP​ (Y): 422 million Kaboomian dollars

bullet• Planned investment spending ​(I)​:225 million Kaboomian dollars

You are asked by the business editor of the Explosive Times​, the local​ newspaper, to predict the economic events of the next few months.

Based on the data​ given, you predict inventories will DECREASE and the level of real GNP will INCREASE.

Things will stop changing when SAVINGS EQUAL INVESTMENT.

Kaboom's economy will reach equilibrium when its real GNP​ = 563 MILLION Kaboomian dollars
