5. Suppose the average Social Security benefits in the nation are $12,000 per year. The
number of Social Security pension recipients is currently 50 million. There are 150
million workers in the workforce this year and the average taxable wage per worker
is $25,000 per year.
a. Calculate the dependency ratio for the nation.
b. Calculate the average replacement rate for Social Security retirees.
c. Calculate the tax rate on wages necessary to pay Social Security benefits this
year assuming the system is operating on a pay-as-you-go basis.
d. Suppose the number of retirees is expected to increase to 75 million in the next
ten years while the labor force remains at 150 million. Assuming nothing else
changes, calculate the tax rate necessary to pay promised benefits on a pay-as-
you-go basis. What can be done to lower this tax rate?
Consider a policy that generates benefits and costs this year (i.e., Year 0) and.
next year (Year 1). Suppose the government knows that the net benefits this year
are $100. Assume the social discount rate is 11%. If the undiscounted net
benefits next year are more than $_, then the policy will have a positive net
present value.
