1) There are 100 individuals where 80 of them are poor and builds the public, and 20 are rich elites that that controls the government. Each individual takes utility from consumption with a utility function ui (ci) = Ci. 100 The government collects income tax with a rate 7 € [0, 1] and transfers income T≥ 0 to each individual. The government pays a total cost of 17² Σiª y; for collecting tax where y; is income of individual i. Each poor individual has an income 40,000 USD and each rich has an income 120,000 USD per annum. The elites choose an income tax rate 7, after observing it the public either accepts the policy or makes a revolution. If they make a revolution, they grab all the income of elites and share them among themselves equally. Revolution is costly and μ€ [0, 1] share of the total income in the economy gets lost if there is a revolution. a) For μ = 0.9, find if there will a revolution or not, and it there will not be a revolution find the equilibrium tax rate. b) Repeat (a) when μ = 0.5. c) Repeat (a) when μ = 0.1.

Q3. A consumer with the utility function U(x₁, x2) = xx and her income $200 faces the market prices (P₁, P2) = (4,4). Now the government introduces a consumption tax of $2 for every unit of good *₁ purchased. A. Find the total tax revenue. B. Instead of the consumption tax, if the government takes away a lump- sum amount from the consumer as an income tax, maintaining the same welfare level the consumer has under $2 consumption tax, how much more revenue the government could collect?
Consider an economy consisting of 11 people, 10 citizens and their mayor. the mayor is choosing whether to implement a sales tax, t, on the good X1 or an income tax, r, on each citizens salary. Suppose each good x1 and x2 has the common respective price of 1. Furthermore, each citizen receives an income of $10,000 and all citizens have the same utility preferences given by: U (x1, x2 ) = Vx1 Vx2 What is the budget constraint in the case of having an income tax rand the second constraint when consumers face the sales tax t. Using those budget constraints solve for the demand functions under each tax regime. Then calculate the tax rate needed so the mayor receives a salary equal to the same $10,000 the rest of the citizens receive. What criteria would the mayor use to then choose whether to implement the sales or income tax? Which one should the mayor choose and why?
Assume two normal and ordinary goods A and B. If the good A is taxed and its compensated demand is constructed around the customer after tax utility level, would the excess burden due to tax on A from the customer's compensated demand be greater or less than her deadweight loss from her ordinary (uncompensated) demand? Use the effects to explain.

Suppose that the first P300,000 income earned is not taxed at all, the next P500,000 earned is taxed at a rate of 20%, the next P1,500,000 is taxed at a rate of 30%, and any additional income is taxed at the rate of 40%. Let T(y) represent the income tax schedule. a.Find and graph the tax function T(y), defined on y 2 0.

Song earns $148,000 taxable income as an interior designer and is taxed at an average rate of 20 percent (i.e., $29,600 of tax). Answer the questions below assuming that Congress increases the income tax rate such that Song's average tax rate increases from 20 percent to 25 percent. Required: What will happen to the government's tax revenues if Song chooses to spend more time pursuing her other passions besides work in response to the tax rate change and therefore earns only $111,000 in taxable income? What is the term that describes this type of reaction to a tax rate increase? What types of taxpayers are likely to respond in this manner?
Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 35 billion bottles of wine were sold every year at a price of $5 per bottle. After the tax, 28 billion bottles of wine are sold every year; consumers pay $6 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $3 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is S burden that falls on producers is S |per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is S per bottle, and the per bottle. True or False: The effect of the tax on the quantity sold would have been smaller if the tax had been levied on producers. True O False
