Answer #1

Part A

Minimum tax

$851

To make vertically equitable in terms of the amount of tax paid, Pedro should pay more in tax dollars compared to Mae as he has more taxable income than her. Thus Pedro is required to pay only the $1 more dollar in tax than Mae.

Part B

Tax rate structure

Regressive

(As Pedro is required to pay more tax than Mae however, the tax rate has to be same in case of vertical equity)
