Answer:

The productivity of an average person in the top twenty percent is four (4) times that of an average person in the bottom eighty percent.

Explanation:

In questions 3c and 4b, the values of the gross domestic products for the top twenty (20) percent and the bottom eighty (80) percent are $22,800 and $5,700 respectively. Therefore, if we take the ratio of the two values, we have:

$22800/$5700 = 4

The productivity of an average person in the top twenty percent is four (4) times that of an average person in the bottom eighty percent.

What will happen to the governmentâs tax revenues if Song chooses to spend more time pursuing her other passions besides work in
ira [324]

Answer:

Government's tax revenues would decrease by $1,250

Explanation:

Please refer the complete question below

Song earns $100,000 taxable income as an interior designer and is taxed at an average rate of 20 percent (i.e., $20,000 of tax). Answer the questions below assuming that Congress increases the income tax rate such that Song's average tax rate increases from 20 percent to 25 percent.   What will happen to the government’s tax revenues if Song chooses to spend more time pursuing her other passions besides work in response to the tax rate change and therefore earns only $75,000 in taxable income

If Song opts for pursuing his other passions he will end up earning $75,000 and therefore since the tax rate is now 25% he will have to pay $18,750 ($75,000 x 25%) as against the $20,000 ($100,000 x 20%) taxed previously and hence government's tax revenues would decrease by $1,250 ($20,000 - $18,750).

At the beginning of the current year, Bard Corporation had 400,000 shares of $1 par common stock outstanding and had retained ea
sveta [45]

Answer:

b. $14,660,000

Explanation:

The computation of retained earnings at the end of the year is shown below:-

Retained earnings = Beginning retained earning + Net income - Stock dividend - Cash dividend

= $11,000,000 + $5,000,000 + $500,000 - $840,000

= $14,660,000

Working Note :-

Stock Dividend = 400,000 × 5% × $25

= $500,000

Cash dividend = (400,000 + (400,000 × 5%) × $2

= 420,000 × $2

= $840,000

Chuck, a single taxpayer, earns $75,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (U
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Given that,

Taxable income = $75,000

Interest from an investment = $10,000

Using the U.S tax rate schedule in 2017

(a) Federal tax will he owe = $5,226.25 + 25% × ($75,000 - $37,950)

                                            = $5,226.25 +  $9262.5

                                            = $14,488.75

(b) Average\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Taxable\ Income}

    Average\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{14,488.75}{75,000}

                                             = 19.32%.

(c)Effective\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Total\ Income}

Effective\ Tax\ Rate = \frac{14,488.75}{75,000 + 10,000}

                                        = 17.05%          

(d) Chuck is currently in the 25 percent tax rate bracket.

His marginal tax rate on increases in income up to $16,900 and deductions from income up to $37,050 is 25 percent.
