Answer: a tax equal to the external cost.

Explanation:

The most efficient taxes are those that will be equal to the external cost of production that a company is imposing on the environment. This means in effect that a company is paying for the pollution it is inflicting on the environment.

Companies polluting less would pay less and those polluting more would pay more. This is the logic of a tax equal to the external cost.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

  • Melba's adjusted basis for the land at the Acquisition date is $625000
  • Melba's adjusted basis for the land one year later is $645000

Explanation:

The adjusted basis for a property/land is the net cost of the property after adjusting for factors that might attract tax as related to the land

The adjusted basis for the land at the acquisition date is the net cost of the land at the acquisition date which will be ( $225000 + $400000 ) because that was the net cost of the Land at the date of acquisition before an agreement was later reached by Melba requiring him to pay $400000 plus an interest of 5%

Hence the adjusted basis for the land one year later will be

=  ( $225000 + $400000 ) + 5% of $400000

= ( $625000 ) + $20000

= $645000
