- Suppose Cho is a cinephile and buys only movie tickets. Cho deposits $3,000 in a bank account that pays an annual nominal interest rate of 10%. Assume this interest rate is fixed—that is, it won't change over time. At the time of her deposit, a movie ticket is priced at $15.00. For each of the annual inflation rates given in the following table, first determine the new price of a movie ticket, assuming it rises at the rate of inflation. Then enter the corresponding purchasing power of Cho's deposit after one year in the first row of the table for each inflation rate. Finally, enter the value for the real interest rate at each of the given inflation rates. Hint: Round your answers in the first row down to the nearest movie ticket. For example, if you find that the deposit will cover 20.7 movie tickets, you would round the purchasing power down to 20 movie tickets under the assumption that Cho will not buy seven-tenths of a movie ticket. Fill in the annual inflation chart Choices…Taylor's nominal income is $50,000 per year in Acity where the cost-of-living index is 200.

- The United States has established a progressive income tax system, where a worker’s tax rate onearnings increases as she earns more money. There are 168 hours in a given week. Assume thatfor the first 56 hours worked, the tax rate is t1, which means that the net real wage is w*(1-t1).After working the 56th hour, the worker jumps to a higher tax rate t2. After the 112th hourworked, the individual jumps to an even higher tax rate, t3.(a) During most election years, some politicians argue that a having a flat tax system isbetter. Assume that there is a proposal to institute a flat tax, where all workers pay a taxrate equal to t4, which is greater than t3. On the same set of axes, graph the budgetconstraints associated with the progressive tax system and the flat tax system. Make sureto label all of the slopes.(b) Would moving to this proposed flat tax system likely encourage more or fewer hoursworked for relatively high-wage workers?
