Answer:

Jack and Jill

a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.

Jack would pay $ __40___.

Jill would pay $ __80___.

This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.

b. Based on net benefit from the guard:

Jack would pay $ __43___.

Jill would pay $ _ 77____.

Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3.  Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month

Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month

Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)

Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month

Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000

Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000

Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000

a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)

Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40

Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% =    $80

Total = $120

b. Net benefit scheme:

Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43

Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 =    $77

Total = $120

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer: reduced by $80 billion

Explanation:

An expansionary gap is when the actual output is more than the potential output. From the question, we are told that an economy is operating with output $400 billion above its natural level, and fiscal policymakers want to close this expansionary gap and that the central bank agrees to adjust the money supply to hold the interest rate constant, so there is no crowding out.

We are also given the marginal propensity to consume is 4/5, and told that the price level is completely fixed in the short run.

To close the expansionary gap, the government would need to reduce its spending. To solve this, we have to calculate the multiplier. This will be:

Multiplier = 1/(1 - MPC)

= 1/(1 - 4/5)

= 1/1-0.8

= 1/0.2

= 5

Therefore, the government expenditure or spending will be reduced by:

= $400 billion/5

=$80 billion

With respect to the consumer buying process, __________ is perhaps the most important factor that affects the time, effort, and
kupik [55]

Answer:

The Degree of Risk

Explanation:

With respect to the consumer buying process, the degree of risk is perhaps the most important factor that affects the time, effort, and expense dedicated to the search for information. When the higher risk is involved, we spend a lot of time in searching for information either from our external sources or internal sources. When the risk factor is less, then we do not spend much time and effort on searching for information. For example, when we are buying a packet of chips, we do not search information by spending much time and effort. But when we have to buy a car or a laptop, then we spend much time in searching for the information from all of the available sources because bad or wrong decision can cost us more in the case of buying a car or a laptop as compared to the buying of a packet of chips.
