Explanation of Solution

The relationship between supply of quantity and cost of goods or services, when represented graphically, it is called a supply curve. The point at which the supplied quantity equals the demanded quantity, then that is called an equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

Below shown is the diagram that represents the appreciation of currency in an economy.

  Macroeconomics: Principles and Policy (MindTap Course List), Chapter 20, Problem 1TY

In the above mentioned graph the real GDP is being represented by the xaxis and the price level is being represented by the yaxis . The demand curve D is sloping downwards and the supply curve S is sloping upwards. The equilibrium point is being represented by the intersection of the demand curve and the supply curve. With the appreciation of currency, there will be a decrease in net exports and hence a leftward shift in the aggregate demand curve. While at the same time, imports will cost cheaper because of which the aggregate supply curve shifts downwards from S to S1. Thus there will be a fall in the price equilibrium level from e to e1 whereby the output level and price level reduces.

Discuss the preferred deterrent method employed by the Zambian government to combat tax evasion, monetary fines. As noted in the reading the potential penalty for corporate tax evasion is a fine of 52.5% of the amount evaded plus interest assessed at 5% annually along with a possibility of jail time. In general, monetary fines as a deterrent are preferred to blacklisting of company directors, revoking business operation licenses, or calling for prison sentences. Do you agree with this preference? Should companies that are guilty of tax evasion face something more severe than a monetary fine? Something less severe? Should the fine and interest amount be set at a different rate? If so at why? Provide support and rationale for your responses.
