  1. there isan income tax t=0.1,

The income tax would result in the total amount of tax to be the lump sum tax and the income tax rate on income when t=0.1t=0.1

Y=−5+0.5(Y−250−0.1Y)+200+300+50' 

 =−5+0.5(0.9Y−250)+550

 =−5+0.45Y−125+550   

=0.45Y−420

0.55Y=420Y=420
0.55=763.636≅763.64

 

Please explain this solution.  Where does the 0.45Y come from?
