Sub part (b):

Explanation of Solution
It reduces the financial resources transfer from the businesses to the government. Then the business tax reduces and thus, the business owners will get a bigger percent of the income. These companies use the amplified profits to acquire capital commodities and labor. The weakening of the commercial income tax forces the government to reduce spending, and corporate spending increases the causing resource reallocation.
In case, the economy is facing unemployment and no reduction in government expenses, we see an increased spending if the companies increase their expenses on capital commodities. The distribution effect will have a dependency in knowing if the profits are going straight to people with a higher income or are these being spent for the assets and employees of the organization.

The impact over the resource reallocation of the economy.
Sub part (c)

Explanation of Solution
This will cause an increase in commodities and services to people from the government or this can be termed as net taxes that are being reduced, which is the same to a raise in transfer payments. This is the income’s redistribution in support of the people who are not wealthy. Resources to be paid by the government will be going up as additional teachers need to be employed and salaried.
This will need the resource reallocation from the private sector to the public sector by reducing the unemployment rate. In this case, there will be an upward pressure on prices to an extent if this is a transfer payment program and the production will not increase.

The distribution of income will be away from profits toward the other three categories to the extent that the total tax revenues increase.
There will be a slight increase in the allocation of resources from the private sector to the public sector. Resources will also be allocated towards pollution control equipment. As the supply has reduced due to the increase in costs to business, unemployment and thus, the prices will increase.

- 3. Consider the case of everyone being wealthier in the future, such as from a positive productivity shock (computers, internet, robotics, AI). A. Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments. Give both people an endowment of 1000 pounds for the first period and 1100 pounds for the second. AI increases the supply of second period goods by 10%. Note that there is now a total of 2000 pounds in the first period and 2200 pounds in the second. Determine the equilibrium interest rate. r = % B. Begin from the baseline preferences and endowments. Give both people an endowment of 1100 pounds for the first and 1100 pounds for the second periods. AI increases the supply in all periods by 10%.
