The basis for this argument is that consumption tax takes a larger percentage of income from low income earners than from high income earners. This is because consumption tax is uniformly applied to all people irrespective of their situation.<span />
Answer:A
Explanation:
A regressive tax is a tax impose in such a manner that the tax rate decreases as the amount subject to taxation increases.
Cost of equity is calculated as -
Cost of equity = Risk free return + Beta * (Market risk - Risk free return)
Given,
Risk free return = 5.3 %
Market risk = 12 %
Beta = 1.05
Cost of equity = 5.3 % + (1.05*(12-5.3%))
Cost of equity = 12.335 % or 12.24 %

Explanation:
Step 1 :
It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55
Adverse selection describes situations when high-risk persons are more likely to receive insurance or when one bargaining side has important knowledge that the other does not. Our goal is to influence decision-makers, both inside and outside of government, to consider the future and adopt long-term plans.
When vendors and/or purchasers have different knowledge about a certain component of a product's quality, this is referred to as adverse selection. Thus, those who work in hazardous environments or lead high-risk lives are more likely to buy life or disability insurance, knowing that they will likely be able to use it.
