The equation below forecasts personal income tax (PIT) using two explanatory variables, personal income (PI) in dollars

Post by answerhappygod »

The equation below forecasts personal income tax (PIT) using two
explanatory variables, personal income (PI) in dollars and the
personal income tax rate (R) in percentage points (e.g. if the tax
rate is 4% then R=4).
Personal income is currently $1,000,000 and the tax rate is 4%.
The Governor proposes reducing the tax rate to 3% and suggests that
the impact of income growth during the next year will offset the
revenue loss from the tax rate reduction. What will personal income
have to be with a 3% tax rate to yield the same revenue that would
result with personal income of $1,000,000 and a 4% tax rate?
