question 15

Multiple Choice

$$\begin{array} { | c | c | } \hline \text { Gross Domestic Product (GDP) } & \text { Consumption (C) } \\\hline \$ 0 & \$ 40 \\\hline 100 & 120 \\\hline 200 & 200 \\\hline 300 & 280 \\\hline 400 & 360 \\\hline\end{array}$$ The accompanying table is the before-tax consumption schedule for a closed economy. If a lump-sum tax (the same tax amount at each level of GDP) of $40 is now imposed in this economy, the consumption
Schedule will be

• A) \[\begin{array} { | r | r | }
• \hline \text { GDP } & \text { C } \\
• \hline \$ 0 & \$ 8 \\
• \hline 100 & 88 \\
• \hline 200 & 168 \\
• \hline 300 & 248 \\
• \hline 400 & 320 \\
• \hline
• \end{array}\]
• B) \[\begin{array} { | r | r | }
• \hline \text { GDP } & \text { C } \\
• \hline \$ 0 & \$ 0 \\
• \hline 100 & 80 \\
• \hline 200 & 160 \\
• \hline 300 & 240 \\

• D) \[\begin{array} { | c | c | }
