    f(x1, x2) = x1 + x2. Now this is Cobb-Douglas if the function has the form f(x1,x2) = Ax^a1 x^b2, and provides us the utility function (Varian, 2010) and the graph shown in fig 3. For the production formula it would be Q=AK^ αL^β (Renshaw, 2009)as you can see both formulas are remarkably similar, as they both steam from the original theorem. So if we set A=10 and α= β=0.5, we get Q=10K^0.5L^0.5 now if we fix capital to say 49, just for the short run, we get Q=10(49)^0.5L^0.5 which we can rearrange so that we get Q=70L^0.5. Now to find the average product of labour or APL we divide Q by L, Q/L. So using Q=70L^0.5 we get 70L^0.5/L= 70L^0.5 (Renshaw, 2009). Obviously this is all in the short term, but if we wish to find it with terms of market value we would time the equation by the price so say our good is p=100 we get, Q=P(10K^0.5L^0.5) so with ours we get Q=100(10K^0.5L^0.5)=1000K^0.5^0.5 giving us the firms total revenue in term of sale price and labour and capital the firm hires.…

    What happens to the economy when the government raises or lowers taxes? Lots of people in America do not understand exactly what happens to the economy when the government raises or lowers taxes. In this paper I am going to address that question as well as a few other things such as: Describing the effect on net personal income when the government raises taxes and when the government lowers taxes. Describing how the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is affected by higher taxes and lower taxes. I will also identify what other economic factors are affected when taxes are raised or lowered, and explain the results of these changes. And finally I will explain why in my own opinion the government should or should not increase taxes on everyone in order to equalize income and wealth.…

    The text “brains in a vat” talks about representation as reference with intent. It argues that referring to ‘anything as anything’ is not representation unless it is done with intention. This is explained, one may refer to an object through words, however, it is necessary to have the mental image of that object so that the words become a representation of the object. This characteristic of intentionality is consistent in our thoughts (it allows us to refer one thing as another).…

    Tax Evasion

    asionTHE SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEM OF TAX AVOIDANCE AND EVASION IN NIGERIA: AN OVERVIEW Dominic Asada LL.B. (Hons.) B.L, LL.M. Tax Avoidance and Evasion are some of the most perplexing problems facing the nation today. It is widely believed that there is a considerable difference between estimated revenue from taxation every year and what is actually collected. This disturbing aversion to taxation has some historical antecedents. Traditionally, there has always been a hostile response to the payment of tax by the people who viewed tax collectors as a nuisance to the society. And for the few that paid tax, they did so with the greatest reluctance. Even in the Bible, instances abound where the Jews treated the tax collectors with disdain and contempt.1 This negative attitude transcended to modern times and with the consequence that various devises, has been formulated by the tax payers to frustrate the tax authorities. To say the least, this negative attitude to taxation is unpatriotic in view of the well recognised role which taxation plays in the economy. In fact, it is undeniable today that every government depends to a large extent on taxation not only for its socio-economic development but also as a means of ameliorating the existing inequalities of wealth in the society.2 It is in this light that there has been various legislative and judicial attempts to impose liability on the tax payer in appropriate cases. Definition of Tax: The Nigerian tax Acts do not define the word tax. Thus for the purpose of ascertaining its meaning resort has been made to decided cases. It must be quickly pointed out here that even the various judicial attempts at defining it lacked precision. This maybe due to the Myriad function of taxation in the society.…
