When government is trying to raise tax revenue, it sometimes attempts to target higher-income people because they are in a bette

r position to bear the burden of a tax. However, it can be very difficult to earn tax revenue from wealthy people. Consider the progressive nature of the U.S. federal income tax system: It's designed so that higher incomes are taxed at higher tax rates. Thinking about the elasticity of labor supply, why might it be more difficult to collect tax revenue from a wealthy individual than from a poor person, all else equal

Answer: The labor supply curve for a wealthy individual is usually more elastic than a poor person's labor supply curve

Explanation:

Tax could be described as individuals paying a particular percentage of their income and whatever they use then pay to the government. The aim of the tax being collected is to generate funds internally which could be used in maintaining the economy.

Despite the government attempts to make tax be one-sided, it yields little or no result in favour of the poor as they end up being well tax as same as the rich. Those who are poor make use of services regularly, and most societies have them than those who are already established. The labor supply curve for a wealthy individual is usually more elastic than a poor person's labor supply curve. We would realize that we have more poor people in labour than those who are rich.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Present value= $3,642,651.54

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You have just won the lottery and will receive $530,000 in one year. You will receive payments for 25 years, and the payments will increase by 4 percent per year. The appropriate discount rate is 10 percent.

First, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual payment= 530,000

i= 0.04 + 0.10= 0.14

n= 25

FV= {530,000*[(1.14^25)-1]}/0.14

FV= 96,391,538.43

Now, we can calculate the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 96,391,538.43/ (1.14^25)

PV= $3,642,651.54
