Calculate the area of each section as steps in verifying the calculation of the Gini Coefficient. - In your calculations, represent all percentages as decimals. For example, use 0.50 for 50%. Remember that along the 45-degree line, the horizontal and vertical coordinates are equal. This is important for calculating the length of the sides between each point (A, B, C, and D) and the 45-degree line. - Report all answers to three decimal places. Note that you can check your answer for the Gini Coefficient using the interactive tool which reports only two decimal places. Calculate the area of section V Calculate the area of section W. Calculate the area of section X. Calculate the area of section Y. Calculate the area of section Z. Calculate 2(V+W+X+Y+Z). Gini Coefficient =

Please complete the table and answer questions 1-5 A group of 10 people have the following annual incomes: $55,000, $30,000, $15,000, $20,000, $35,000, $80,000, $40,000, $45,000, $30,000, $50,000. Complete the table. Income Quintile Share of Income $15,000 Bottom $20,000 $30,000 2nd $30,000 $35,000 3rd $40,000 $45,000 4th $50,000 $55,000 Top $80,000 If $4000 is taxed from the top earner and transferred to the lowest earner, would that increase or decrease the share of income held by the top quintile? Would this transfer increase or decrease the share of income held by the bottom quintile? Would this have any effect on the 2nd quintile? The 3rd? The 4th? Would this transfer increase, decrease, or have no effect on income inequality in this group? Redistributing income from the highest earner to the lowest one would reduce the utility of the top earner and increase the utility of the lowest earner. But…

A family has 15 members and has the following income data. $52,000, $22,000, $92,000, $8,000, $118,000, $62,000, $38,000, $14,000, $132,000, $46,000, $26,000, $96,000, $54,000, $110,000, $80,000 Answer the following questions. Show computations whenever possible. 1. Calculate the percent share of income for each quintile, from the lowest to the highest quintile. 2. 3. ( ) Calculate the cumulative share of income of this family group. What would you say about the income gap and incomes distribution of the family members? 4. Going back to the real world income distribution, other than the progressive tax system, which one of the income redistribution program do you think is the most effective method in helping the near-poor, and why?

10 Suppose that in a particular state a standardized test is given to all graduating se- niors. Let score denote a student's score on the test. Someone discovers that perfor- mance on the test is related to the size of the student's graduating high school class. The relationship is quadratic: score = 45.6+ .082 class .000147 class², where class is the number of students in the graduating class. (i) How do you literally interpret the value 45.6 in the equation? By itself, is it of much interest? Explain. (ii) From the equation, what is the optimal size of the graduating class (the size that maximizes the test score)? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) What is the highest achievable test score? (iii) Sketch a graph that illustrates your solution in part (ii). (iv) Does it seem likely that score and class would have a deterministic relationship? That is, is it realistic to think that once you know the size of a student's graduating class you know, with certainty, his or her test…
