Kyle went to the market to buy Good X. He was willing to pay up to $2.50 per unit of the good. However, he expected some units of the good to be defective. Therefore, when the seller asked a price of $2.30 per unit, he refused to pay more than $2 for each unit. If the seller knows which units of the good are defective, what is most likely to happen in this case?

In the highly prosperous nation of ‘W’, the income tax system is structured as follows:
a. Individuals earning up to $2200 are taxed at a flat rate of 10% of their income.
b. For those with incomes exceeding $2200 and up to $8945, the taxation scheme is bifurcated:
The first $2200 of income is taxed at 10%.
The remainder, above $2200 and up to $8945, is taxed at a rate of 18.5%.
c. If an individual’s income surpasses $8945, the taxation policy is delineated as follows:
The initial $2200 of income is taxed at 10%.
The subsequent income, above $2200 and up to $8945, is taxed at 18.5%.
Any income exceeding $8945 is taxed at a rate of 30%.
Based on the above scenario, answer the following questions:
(i) Represent the above rule that country W has made as a piecewise function mathematically using the symbol ≤ or any other relevant symbol.
(ii) Take any income that comes in each slab from the country W and calculate the tax for each segment.

the Special Homework assignment:
Samuel, Rene, Hoang, Bailee, Nazgol, Lucas and Ryan are helping their fellow classmate Desmond search for a good deal regarding the purchase of a new Honda Accord automobile. After researching all the Honda dealers in this area, they have decided that they have found the best deal at Honda Cars of Rockwell, Texas.
The following is their best deal and they want to know what the monthly payment will be. The new Honda Accord is $36,250 and that includes an extended warranty, tax, title and license…(TT&L). To help reduce the cost of this purchase he will receive two discounts; one the Honda “Purchase Incentive” $500 off discount and the second is the College Student discount of $400. Jose has elected to make monthly payments for four years. He has a trade-in vehicle that will decrease his purchase cost of the new vehicle by $17,600. The Honda interest rate program is the best that he can find which is 3.9%.
All things considered Desmond is still hesitant to make the purchase. He cannot afford a monthly payment in excess of $400. John Freezer, General Manager of Honda Cars of Rockwall wants to help make Jose feel like he has the best price possible. Both Marcos and Julianna are also classmates of Desmond and they asked Mr. Freezer for anything else that can be done to make this car purchase possible. He decided to provide him an additional discount of .845% (.00845) and he rounded to the nearest dollar on the discount. Desmond supported by his research team of Samuel, Rene, Hoang, Bailee, Nazgol, Lucas and Ryan believe that this is the best deal available.
Desmond decides on this purchase but wants to know what his monthly payments will be. What is his monthly payment? (Please note the amount to the nearest penny).
Your answer must be shown as a display on your TI calculator to me (Picture). You must also show your work separately on paper and send it to me. Also need a screen shot of TI calculations.
