Assume that the only qualification required to receive a tax credit is low income. Suppose the government uses the following equation to compute a family's tax liability: Taxes Owed = (1/4 of Income) For each of the incomes listed in the following table, determine the tax liability for a family with that income level. (Note: If a family receives a subsidy because its income is too low, be sure to indicate the tax liability as negative.)

Calculating tax incidence Suppose that the local government of Jacksonville decides to institute a tax on soda producers. Before the tax, 40 billion liters of soda were sold every year at a price of $10 per liter. After the tax, 33 billion liters of soda are sold every year; consumers pay $12 per liter, and producers receive $7 per liter (after paying the tax). The amount of the tax on a liter of soda is per liter. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is per liter, and the burden that falls on producers is per liter.
