A progressive tax means that the more you earn, the higher is the percentage of the taxes that you need to pay: this prevents poverty and supports an equal distribution of wealth.

So if you make more than your friend, you need to also pay more. Only 40% is more, so the correct answer is D)!

Due to them imposing a higher tax rate on those with a higher income level, the answer D 40%, is the only percentage tax rate that is higher than 20%.

ycow [4]

Answer: 4 containers

Explanation:

The formula used to get the number of containers that are needed will be:

N = DT(1+X)/C

where,

N = total containers

D = planned usage rate used by the work center = 111 parts per hour

T = average waiting time = 100 minutes = 100/60 hours = 1.67 hours

X = inefficiency factor = 0.21

C = capacity of standard container = 5 dozens = 5 × 12 = 60 parts

N = DT(1+X)/C

N = (111 × 1.67)(1 + 0.21)/60

N = (185.37 × 1.21)/60

N = 224.2977/60

N = 3.738

N = 4 approximately

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

(B) 40%

Explanation:

↓Q / ΔPrice = Price-elasicity

The price elasticity is the relationship between a change in price with the quantity demanded of a certain good assuming, other factor remains constant.

ΔPrice  = (P0 - P1)/((P0 + P1)/2) = (2 - 6)/((2+6)/2) = 4/4 = 1

We know that price elasticity is 0.4

Now we can solve for the change in the quantity demanded:

↓Q/ 1 = 0.4

↓Q = 0.4 x 1 = 0.40 = 40%
