Answer:

The necessary tax reduction amounts to $13.33

Explanation:

The Tax Multiplier indicates the extent of change (decrease) in income resulting from a tax alteration (increase).

The formula for Tax Multiplier is Tax Multiplier = ΔY / ΔT = - MPC / (1- MPC)

Given: Required Change in Income [ΔY] = 40

The MPC is 0.75

Inserting into the formula;

40 / ΔT  = - 0.75 / (1- 0.75)

40 / ΔT = - 0.75 / 0.25

40 / ΔT  =  - 3

Thus, ΔT = - 40/ 3

This leads to ΔT = - 13.33
