Two factories mamufacture the Number of Defects same machine parts. Each part is classified as having either 0, 1, 2 or 3 mamufacturing defects. The joint probability for this is given in the adjoining Table. (i) A part is observed to have no defect. What is the probability that it was produced by X mamufacturer ?

(Tax evasion) A household with income Y decides how much income to un- derreport (R). The household is taxed at rate t. The available income after reporting Y - R is Y - t(Y – R) The government monitors households and can detect tax evasion with probability p. If the govern- ment finds the household misreported income, the available household income becomes Y(1 – t) – P(R) Henceforth, the expected after-tax income of misreporting R is: (1- p) Y – t(Y – R)] + p[Y(1 – t) – P(R)] i) What is the optimal amount of income misreported when Y = 100, the tax rate t = 0.25, the probability that the government detects tax evasion is p = 0.2, and the penalty if found evading is P(R) = ? ii) How would tax evasion change if the household is taxed at t = 0.4. Interpret the difference with your answer in i).
