K During the 1980s, the controversial economist Arthur Laffer promoted the idea that tax increases lead to a reduction in government revenue. Called supply-side economics, the theory uses functions such as f(x) = - -, 30 ≤x≤ 100. This function models the government tax revenue, f(x), in tens of billions of dollars, in terms of the tax rate, x. The graph of the function is shown. It illustrates tax revenue decreasing quite dramatically as the tax rate increases. At a tax ate of (gasp) 100%, the government takes all our money and no one has an incentive to work. With no income earned, zero dollars in tax revenue is generated. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. 110x-11,000 x-140 a. Find f(30). f(30) = (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

Suppose the economy begins at full employment. Label this starting point as point "1." Then, suppose that a long strike by coal miners reduces the coal supply and increases the price of coal. Show the effects on your graph and label the new equilibrium point "2." Lastly, suppose our government wants the economy to return to full-employment as quickly as possible. Should the government intervene? If so, show the impact of successful fiscal policy on your graph. Label this new equilibrium point "3."
Government Spending, Taxes, and Fiscal Policy-End of Chapter Problem The president has just signed a new budget that drastically cuts taxes without decreasing government spending. When asked how he plans to address the dramatic increase in deficits that will occur due to the tax cuts, the president responds, "We're going to see some amazing economic growth because of this new policy, so much growth that we're going to grow our way out of any short-term increases to government debt." If this extra economic growth doesn't materialize, what are some of the risks to the U.S. economy? Interest payments on the federal debt will consume a larger portion of the federal budget, potentially displacing other government priorities. Higher government debt may make future borrowing more difficult. It gives foreign creditors substantial control over U.S. economic policy. It places an unsupportable burden on future generations.

Suppose the government implements a tax increase through a fixed tax. Use two green points (triangle symbol) to connect the two black points (plus symbols) representing the consumption schedule after the change in taxes.
