Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?
Aroca County's public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property. The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county. Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.
many former Aroca county residents left the county because of its high property taxes
a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties ,which have much higher sales-tax rates, is about to open in Aroca county
at least some aroca county parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
all of the money they that is collected in property taxes currently goes to be the public schools
retailers in aroca county are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
错因:忽略了crrent和would not,文章说的是虽然最近来自销售的税收少,但将来怎么这么样,不是相同的时间段。做的时候一直觉得要解释的矛盾是:明明税收少了,怎么还能够给学校相同的钱。
B:能吸引别国的消费者,这样就能促进销量。(别国销售税高,说明价格更贵,因为商家把税收转移到了顾客身上,这就是为什么免税店东西更便宜的原因,因此能吸引消费者)
E: 无关选项,A县的零售商不会通过降低税前售价的方式来承担销售税。潜台词就是消费者最终付的钱数没有因为tax而增加,原来标价1块钱的东西现在变成0.97块了,付款的时候加上3%的税还是付1块,tax的负担由商家埋单了。这最多能说明新策略后总的销售额不会因为赋税而下降,没法解释为什么总零售税额能达到或超过地产税额这个预期
A. 说的是former,不代表这些人会回来,即使回来了也不代表就能更多的消费
some约等于0
学校用款由property tax换成sales tax 出,current tax不够满足支出,但实施该项计划不会减少学校用款(would not)
关键词 - current tax ⚠️ 注意时态
结论:钱不会少。
注意选项a是former,而题目说的是plan,是将来的情况,是GMAC 常见的陷阱,要注意
former以前和现在无关
A,与现在无瓜;
B,现在tax少,马上就会多,所以不影响money to public schools
C,无瓜;
D,无瓜
E, 无瓜
in the county
find the evidence to support that " implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools"
选了E,基于B是正确的,E的意思应该是如果原本价格是X 税是Y,售价是X+Y,零售商不会通过让价格变成X-Y,最终售价是Y来吸收税费。确实是依照了惯性把日常的税法带入会造成错误理解
The county plans to eliminate the property tax support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county.
看题,没说学校不用 tax了,而是用三成sale tax,和财产税property tax的区别,
property财产
其实看问题就需要选项中一定得提到sale tax,acd选项都没提,排除!!
供给增加,但是需求(销售量)不变,能带来更多的税收吗
方案推理,选项要提到方案sales tax。只有B提到方案啦
E 不是也提到了sales tax吗
的确提到了,提到了就是有关!所以应该是留下BE来进行排除,E表达的意思是零售商是不会为了吸收价格税而降低税前的价格,如果价格不降低,在其他因素的不变的情况下,销量也就不会多,那么总sale就不会增加,那么tax肯定少,这应该是一个weaken
