Martin Inc., a U.S. multinational, began operations in 2016. Martin had pretax U.S. source income and foreign source income as follows:

Income earned in the US            $900,000

Martin paid $135,000 income tax to Country E.

Compute the amount that Martin would owe the U.S. Federal government for 2016 if it takes the foreign tax credit.

Assume that Martin's U.S. tax rate is 37% for 2016.

2. According to a 2018 survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, 11.2 percent of the U.S. residents (ages 12 and older) have used illicit drugs in 2017. Half of the U.S. residents (ages 12 or older) in 2017 were women and 8.8 percent of women used illicit drugs in 2017. About 61 percent of the U.S. residents (ages 12 or older) in 2017 were non-Hispanic whites and 11.6 percent of the non-Hispanic whites have used illicit drugs in 2017. Please answer the following questions based on the information given in this problem.

1. If a random (12 year or older) U.S. resident happens to be non-user of illicit drugs, what is the probability that he is a man? Please show the necessary steps.   [3 points]        
2. What is the probability that a random (12 year or older) U.S resident will be a man or illicit drug user? Please show the necessary work.          [2 points]
3. What is the probability that a random U.S resident (12 year or older) will be neither a woman and nor illicit drug user? Show the necessary work.                                [2 points]
4. Are being a man and using illicit drugs independent events for a (12 year or older) U.S resident? Please show how you arrived at your answer.                                [2 points]

Earlier this year, U.S. president Donald Trump expressed his interest in buying Greenland, a selfgoverned island which belongs to Denmark, and incorporate it into U.S. territory. Imagine that Donald Trump is granted his wish and Greenland joins the U.S. You are interested in the short-run eect in the U.S. of this acquisition of land. (Note: The total population of Greenland is less than 60,000 people, so in your analysis, you can assume that the size of the U.S. labour force remains constant, and only the amount of land in the U.S. increases.)
For the sake of this exercise, you can model the U.S. as consisting of two sectors, a manufacturing sector and an oil-producing sector. Manufacturing uses labour and capital, whereas oil uses labour and land.

(a) What is the short-run impact of the increase of land on the wage of U.S. workers?
Illustrate using a suitable graph.

(b) Write a short verbal description of your result in (a) and explain what has happened to the real wage.

(c) What is the short-run impact of the increase of land on production in the manufacturing and oil sectors? Illustrate using a suitable graph. Do not forget to label all elements shown in your graph!

(d) What is the short-run impact of the increase of land on the rental rate of landowners?
Explain. Hint: In your explanation, you can refer to your graph from part (a).
