Based on the following cost estimates, what is the reproduction cost of a 2,350-sq.-ft. house with a 1,100-sq.-ft. basement, a 650-sq.-ft. attached garage, and a 300-sq.-ft. wood deck?· Above-grade residence cost = $77 per square foot; · Basement area cost = $18 per square foot; · Garage cost = $18 per square foot; · Wood deck = $11 per square foot

Total reproduction estimate = $215750

Explanation:

house = 2350 sq.ft. x $77 = $180950

Basement = 1100 sq.ft x $18 = $19800

Garage cost = 650 sq.ft x $18 = $11700

Wood deck = 300 sq.ft. x $11 = $3300

Total reproduction estimate = $180950 +   $19800 + $11700 + $3300

Total reproduction estimate = $215750

a progressive tax is a tax that imposes a lower tax rate on low-income earners compared to those with a higher income, making it based on the taxpayer's ability to pay. that means it takes a bigger percentage from high income earners than it does from low income people.
