Mrs. Franklin, who is in the 37 percent tax bracket, owns a residential apartment building that generates $114,000 annual taxable income. She plans to create a family partnership by giving each of her two children a 15 percent equity interest in the building. (She will retain a 70 percent interest.) Mrs. Franklin will manage the building, and value of her services is $34,000 per year. If Mrs. Franklin’s children are in the 12 percent tax bracket, compute the tax savings from this income-shifting arrangement. (Ignore any payroll tax consequences.)

Acompany that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who produced an average of 79 carts per hour. workers receive $16 per hour, and machine coast was $49 per hour. with the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. a) compute the multifactor productivity (mfp) (labor plus equipment) under the prior to buying the new equipment. the mfp (carts/$) = (round to 4 decimal places). b) compute the productivity changes between the prior to and after buying the new equipment. the productivity growth = % (round to 2 decimal places)
