The state has decided to increase funding for public education. They are considering four alternative taxes to finance these expenditures. All four taxes would raise the same amount of revenue.1A sales tax on food.2A tax on families with school-age children.3A property tax on vacation homes.4A sales tax on jewelry.
Rank these taxes from smallest deadweight loss to largest deadweight loss. Explain.
Miller wants to discourage the energy drink market with a $2 tax on energy drinks (that on average cost $2.50) Cruz thinks the tax is too high, so Miller makes the tax $1.
draw a graph with the demand curve, supply curve, equilibrium price/quantity, tax price, tax incidence, tax revenue, and dead weight loss. Locate the tax revenue and indicate which letters show that on the graph. Who pays more of the tax- consumers or producers? How does the graph show this?
Match the term with the definition:[?] is the rate you pay on the last dollars you earned A. Average tax rate[?] is the overall rate you pay on your entire income B. Marginal tax rate
