Answer:
The answer is:
1. consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion
2. output will decrease by $600 billion
Explanation:
Tax impact:
$300 billion x 0.5
= $150 billion.
If taxes are lowered by $300 billion, consumers' expenditure increases by $150 billion because with lower tax, there is money money to be spent because their disposable income has increased.
Government spending impact:
$300/(1-0.5)
$300/0.5
=$600 billion.
Due to government spending that has increased by this amount, output will decrease by this amount too because government has directly competed with firms that should have used this money to increase the total output.
Therefore, net effect on total output is $300billion($600 - $300)
Tax incidence shows the dividion of tax burdent between buyer and seller.

Medicare tax is always payable on gross pay as Descibed below|
<u>Explanation</u>:
Note: 1
FICA Social security’s tax
FICA - social security tax is payable on maximum wages of $128,400.
Once an employee's year to date earnings or cumulative earnings exceed the wage base of $128,400, no additional Social Security tax isto be withheld from the employee's earnings.
So, before calculating the FICA - social security tax, we have to check whether the September earnings along with cumulative earnings until August is exceeding $128,400 or not .
If September earnings plus cumulative earnings until August is exceeding $ 128,400, then.
Social Security tax = [($128,400 minus Cumulative earnings until August) or gross salary whichever is lesser] into 6.20%. and if it is not, then
Social Security tax = Gross pay during September into 6.20%
Note 2
FICA minus Medicare tax
Medicare tax is always payable on gross pay. Medicare tax = Gross pay x 1.45%
