Answer:

  1. True
  2. False
  3. True

Explanation:

Carlos is indeed a free rider as he is watching the show without incurring any costs for doing so. He is therefore benefitting from the show without paying adequately for it.

The Government cannot solve the problem by taxing everyone who watches the show because some might not be free riders and instead they would be paying more. The Government can solve it in other ways however such as by privatizing the station.

Private companies can indeed solve this problem by making people watch the commercials because the companies that pay for the commercials would then pick up the cost for Carlos.

In 2020:

Gross income = Taxable income × percentage of interest in profits

                       = $600,000 × 30%

                       = $1,80,000

The withdrawn amount is not consider for computing the gross income. So, we ignored it

max2010maxim [7]
Given:
salary: <span>$10.50 an hour
25 hours a week

expenses:
Cellphone bill: $65/month
car insurance: $1,200/yr
*20% taxes.

There is no specific question but I will solve for Marcus net earnings for the year.

25 hours/week * 52 weeks/yr = 1,300 hours/year

Wages: 10.50 per hour * 1,300 hours/year = $13,650 Gross salary per year
Taxes: 13,650 * 20% = 2,730 

13,650 - 2,730 = 10,920 net salary for the year

Cell phone bill: 65 per month * 12 months = 780

Net salary:         10,920
Cell phone bill       (780)
Car insurance: <u>    (1,200)</u>
Net Income:       8,940 per annum.
