Answer #1

a)The minimum tax paid that Pedro should pay to make the tax structure vertically equitable with respect to the amount of tax paid is calculated below:

Mae's Salary = $10,500

Mae's Tax (Paid) = $735

Pedro, Salary = $22,000

The minimum tax paid by Pedro = $22,000*$735/ $10,500 = $1,540

b)This tax rate structure is a progressive tax structure because the amount of tax increases as the payer's income increases.In other words, an individual who earns high income has to pay high proportion of taxes during the specific period of time.
