The elasticity is 1.08. Explanation: Elasticity is a concept in microeconomics that gauges the responsiveness of demand to changes in income. The elasticity of income is calculated using the formula that divides the observed change in quantity (Q) by the change in income (P). Elasticity = [▲ Q /Q]/ [▲ P/P]. Initially, Blake consumed 2 bags of generic potatoes with an income of $8. After an increase to $15, he opted for one name-brand and one generic bag daily. Thus, E = [(2-1)/1] / [(15-8)/15] leads to E = 0.5/ 0.46 = 1.08. When elasticity exceeds 1, it implies that demand is elastic in relation to income, meaning that an increase in income reduces the demand for generic potatoes, while a decrease in income boosts demand. Hence, Blake’s demand for generic potatoes is elastic with respect to income changes.

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries,
marusya05 [3725]

Answer:

A) $76500

B) $72500

C) $24750

D) tax refund of $260

Explanation:

A) Determine the gross income for Marc and Michelle

Marc has a salary of $64000

Michelle earns $12000

from bonds, they gain an interest of $500

Consequently, total gross income = 64000 + 12000 + 500 = $76500

B) Now, calculate the adjusted gross income for Marc and Michelle

Gross income totals $76500

Moving expenses allowable = $2500

Alimony paid to ex-spouse = $1500

Adjusted gross income = 76500 - 2500 - 1500 = $72500

C) Compute the total deductions from AGI for Marc and Michelle

Standard deduction = $12600

itemized deductions = $6000

Personal and dependency allowances = $12150

To derive the Deductions from AGI, one needs to sum the personal and dependency allowance with the standard deduction (selecting the greater value between standard and itemized deductions).

= 12600 + 12150 = $24750

D) Now find Marc and Michelle's taxable income

Adjusted gross income is $72500

Deductions based on itemized amount = $24750

Thus, taxable income = 72500 - 24750 = $47750

E) Finally, ascertain if Marc and Michelle are due a tax refund or owe taxes for the year

Tax rate notes:

for income between $18451 to $79000: tax rate is $1845 plus 15% on income exceeding $18450

Taxable income is $47750

Tax obligation = 1845 + (47750 - 18450) * 15% = $6240

Child tax credit totals $1000

Taxes withheld amounts to $5500

Tax refund is calculated as tax obligation minus child tax credit minus withheld taxes

6240 - 1000 - 5500 = $260

thus, a tax return amounting to $260 will be issued
