Answer:

Regressive tax

Explanation:

Social Security tax is the tax that is not exempted from employers and employees and which the funds are used to finance the Social Security program.

The Social Security tax finances the retirement, disability, and other benefits that eligible Americans receive under the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) Program - the legal name of Social Security in the United States of America.

It is a Regressive tax in the sense that it takes a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from their high-income counterparts, thereby further widening the already wide social divide between the rich and the poor.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The selling price is $99

Explanation:

The selling price of the product can be computed by adding required profit margin to the unit cost of the product.The required profit margin is the 10% return on invested assets.

Total variable cost           $59*10000                =$590,000

Fixed expenses ($180,000+$60,000)               =$240,000

desired profit margin(10%*$600,000)                =$60,000

Total sales revenue                                              =$990,0000

price per unit=$990,000/10000=$99

The cost-plus approach to product pricing gives $99

If the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand is greater than 1:
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

b. small percentage changes in the price will lead to much larger percentage changes in the quantity demanded.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand is a measure of how responsive is quantity demanded to change in price. Its formula is given by:

E_{D} = \frac{dQ}{Q}{\frac{P}{dP} =

= % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price

So when absolute value E_{D}  is greater than 1, a x percentage change in price will lead to larger than x percentage change in quantity demanded.

<u>Note</u>: Whether the percentage change in quantity demanded will be just a little or very much larger than percentage change in price will depend on how much E_{D} is larger than 1. But b is the still the best answer among the options.
