Homework Answers
12) The correct answer is C.
In the progressive tax system, as the income increases the tax on the additional income also increase. Eventually, the marginal tax exceeds the average income tax.
13) The correct answer is B.
The decrease in marginal tax rates will promote constraint on tax evasion since public will have to pay lesser tax to the authorities.
14) The correct answer is A.
In proportional tax structure the same amount of tax is levied across all the income groups, hence if the marginal tax rate is 20% then the average tax rate has to be 20% as well.
