Mr. E, a petroleum engineer, earns an $84,500 annual salary, while Mrs. E, a homemaker, has no earned income. Under current law, the couple pays 20 percent in state and federal income tax. Because of recent tax law changes, the couple’s future tax rate will increase to 28 percent. If Mrs. E decides to take a part-time job because of the rate increase, how much income must she earn to maintain the couple’s after-tax disposable income? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

Jurisdiction B’s tax system consists of a 6.5 percent general sales tax on retail goods and selected services. Over the past decade, the average annual volume of sales subject to this tax was $860 million. The jurisdiction needs to increase its tax revenues by approximately $8.6 million each year to finance its spending programs. The taxing authorities are considering two alternatives: a 1 percent increase in the sales tax rate or a new 2 percent tax on the net income of corporations doing business in the jurisdiction. Based on recent economic data, the annual net income subject to the new tax would be $455 million. However, the jurisdiction would have to create a new agency responsible for enforcing and collecting the income tax. The estimated annual cost of the agency is $500,000. Jurisdiction B borders four other taxing jurisdictions, all of which have a general sales tax and two of which have a corporate income tax.
1. Based on a static forecast, how much incremental revenue would Jurisdiction B raise under each alternative? (Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place.)
