Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A progressive tax system imposes taxes depending on income earned. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate. It means individuals and entities with a higher income with pay more taxes. A progressive tax system promotes equity by imposing higher taxes on the wealthy and lower taxes on the poor. The US income tax system is an example of a progressive tax.

A regressive tax system does not discriminate on income. It taxes all eligible taxpayers equally regardless of their income level. A regressive tax applies the same tax rate for everyone. Sale tax imposed on goods sold is an example of regressive tax. The regressive tax system takes a higher proposition of income from the low-income earners.

Reil [10]

Note:

I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.

The Complete Question is as under:

Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?

A. $766

B. $29818

C. $3137

D. $3211

Answer:

Option D. $3,137

Explanation:

The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.

The amount saved last year would be:

Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137

Hence the option C is correct here.

8. Which NIMS Management Characteristic allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information, and achieve situationa

oee [108]

Answer: Integrated Communications Unit

Explanation: The Integrated Communications Unit is one of the NIMS characteristics that allows units from diverse agencies to connect, share information and achieve situational awareness.

The Integrated communications unit includes:

1. The “hardware” systems that transfer information.

2. Planning for the use of all available communications frequencies and resources.

3.The procedures and processes for transferring information internally and externally.

Communications needs for large incidents may exceed available radio frequencies. therefore, other communications resources like cell phones or secure phone lines can be the only communications methods used to coordinate communications and to transfer large amounts of data effectively.
