Calculating Government Tax Revenue from Output
In an economy, the total output produced per worker is valued at $150. The government imposes a 25% direct tax on income and a 10% tax on consumption. The portion of output not collected as tax is divided between firms (as profit) and workers (as wages). Calculate the total monetary value of the revenue the government collects per worker.

Calculating Post-Tax Shareable Output and Government Revenue
Calculating Output Distribution with Taxes
In an economy, the total output produced per worker is divided among firms (as profits), workers (as wages), and the government (as tax revenue). If the government increases the direct tax rate on income, holding all other factors constant, what is the immediate impact on the portion of total output available to be shared between firms and workers?
In an economy where the government imposes both direct and consumption taxes, a firm's total profit, expressed as a fraction of the total output per worker, is equal to the firm's designated profit share (σ).
Calculating Government Tax Revenue from Output
A country's economic analysts determine that the total cost of a representative basket of consumer goods was $500 in the designated base year. In the following year, the total cost for the exact same basket of goods fell to $450. Based on this data, the price index for the following year would be greater than 100.
