Question
Chapter 6, Problem 1RQE
To determine
Explain marginal tax rate.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Explain the term marginal tax rate as follows:
The marginal tax rate is different from average tax rate. As average tax rate means the total tax paid as a percentage based on the total revenue earned. Marginal tax rate means the tax rate based on the final dollar of the revenue so the tax rate is not same for all the revenues. A person with higher revenue pays higher tax and the lower revenue one pays lesser tax.

4.12 A 400 m vertical curve connects a -2.00% grade to a +4.00% grade. The P.I. is located
at station 150 + 00 and elevation 60.00 m above sea level. A pipe is to be located at
the low point on the vertical curve. The roadway at this point consists of two 3.6 m
lanes with a normal crown slope of 2%. If the lowest point on the surface of the road-
way must clear the pipe by 0.75 m, what is the station and maximum elevation of the
pipe?

- Vehicles arrive at a single park-entrance booth where a brochure is distributed.

- In Tikrit city, environmental engineers are monitoring the diffusion of CO2 in the air as part of a pollution control study. The air-carbon dioxide mixture is at 295 K and 202.6 kPa, and the concentration of CO2 at two planes, 3 mm apart, is 25 vol.% at the first plane and 15 vol.% at the second plane. The diffusivity of CO2 in air under these conditions is 8.2 × 106 m²/s. The study aims to calculate the rate of CO2 transfer across these two planes in two different scenarios: 1. What is the main engineering issue being addressed in this scenario? 2. Calculate the concentration of CO2 at the two planes in mol/m³ and determine the rate of transfer of CO2 using the diffusivity of CO2 in air. 3. With an engineering solution approach to solve the issue, calculate the rate of transfer of CO2 across the two planes assuming two scenarios: equimolecular counter diffusion and diffusion through a stagnant air layer. 4.
