Calculating Post-Tax Shareable Output and Government Revenue

In an economic scenario with a 25% direct tax on income (td=0.25t_d = 0.25) and a 20% tax on consumption (tv=0.20t_v = 0.20), the total output per worker (λ\lambda) is divided. The portion available for firms and workers is calculated as λ(1+td)(1+tv)=λ1.25×1.2\frac{\lambda}{(1 + t_d) (1 + t_v)} = \frac{\lambda}{1.25 \times 1.2}, which simplifies to 23λ\frac{2}{3}\lambda. Consequently, two-thirds of the total output can be distributed as wages and profits, while the government collects the remaining one-third as tax revenue.
