Businesses are suffering because of a lack of money available for development loans. To help businesses, the government plans to modify the income-tax structure in order to induce individual taxpayers to put a larger portion of their incomes into retirement savings accounts, because as more money is deposited in such accounts, more money becomes available to borrowers.

Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt regarding the effectiveness of the government's plan to increase the amount of money available for development loans for businesses?


When levels of personal retirement savings increase, consumer borrowing always increases correspondingly.

The increased tax revenue the government would receive as a result of business expansion would not offset the loss in revenue from personal income taxes during the first year of the plan.

Even with tax incentives, some people will choose not to increase their levels of retirement savings.

Bankers generally will not continue to lend money to businesses whose prospective earnings are insufficient to meet their loan repayment schedules.

The modified tax structure would give all taxpayers, regardless of their incomes, the same tax savings for a given increase in their retirement savings.

考题讲解

情景:由于发展性贷款的缺乏,企业受到影响。为了帮助企业,政府使纳税人把更多的收入放进退休储存账户,因为该账户内的钱越多,借款者可借的钱就越多。

推理:由于本题的问题问的是方案,所以为方案推理
本题的推理结构为:
目标:为了增加可贷款的量
方案:使纳税人把更多的收入放进退休储存账户

选题方式:方案推理有三个评估方向,简而言之,即,答案选项一定和方案的内容相关。

选项分析:

A选项:当个人退休储存账户的钱增多时,个人借款也会随之增多。此长彼长,本选项若成立,必然会使得方案达不到目标。属于CQ1:方案的可行性问题

B选项:计划实施的第1年,因企业扩大而增加的税收不能抵消所得税的减少。第一年的情况并不能反应以后的情况。

C选项: 即使有税收的激励,有些人也不会增加退休存款额。本选项可以在一定程度上削弱方案的可操作性,但是并非所有人都不增加存款额,所以本选项的削弱强度较弱。

D选项:
银行不会把钱贷给那些无法偿还的企业。银行怎么操作和方案无关。

E选项:
在给定退休存款增幅的情况下,修改后的税收结构给了所有人税收优惠。本选项和方案无关。
