The taxpayer’s marginal tax bracket is 25%. which would the taxpayer prefer? a. $1.00 taxable income rather than $1.25 tax-exempt income. b. $1.00 taxable income rather than $.75 tax-exempt income. c. $1.25 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income. d. $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income. e. none of these.

option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

Explanation:

The taxpayer would prefer option (d) $1.40 taxable income rather than $1.00 tax-exempt income

The above statement will be chosen because in this case the after tax income will be greater than the tax exempt according to the condition given in the question

Given:

Marginal Tax bracket = 25%

thus,

Taxable income = $1.40

Tax = $1.40 × 0.25 = $0.35

Therefore,

The net income = Taxable income  - Tax = $1.40 - $0.35 = $1.05

and,

$1.05 > $1.00

answer; ///i believe the correct answer is (c) laissez-faire;

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
