The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four
years. This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is
based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined. Moreover, the
percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city did not change
during this period.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following?
A. Money collected from property taxes provided most of Altonville’s revenue
during the past four years.
B. The percentage of Altonville’s overall revenue that was collected from property
taxes did not change over the past four years.
C. Altonville officials had proposed raising property tax rates during the past four
years but never did so because of strong opposition from property owners.
D. The total amount of revenue that Altonville has collected from property taxes has
declined over the past four years.
E. During the past four years, Altonville officials also did not increase tax rates on
other sources of revenue such as retail sales or business profits.
MINE A
ANS D
请指教
D是正确的。可能学经济的同志会好理解些。因为税基就是计税的金额在减少-房地产产值缩水,而税率没有上升(the
percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city did not change),所以政府在房产这块所收的财产税金额肯定是下降的。
题目中没提到财产税在政府收入中的比重,所以A是irrelavant.
题目看不懂啊
麻烦SHUAISHUAI讲解一下啊
谢谢

不懂??可否在通俗一点!!
不需要经济学的知识
MARKET VALUE下降了,--->
the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is
based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined
另外一个EVIDENCE是the
percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city did not change
during this period.
比例没有改变,分子减少了,推出什么呢? 分母也变小了呗.
是否完全读懂题目并不很重要,但是能看出里面的意思就成,有一个植少了,但是相对比例没有改变,那么肯定和这个值比的那个值也减少了呀。
A. Money collected from property taxes provided most of Altonville’s revenue
during the past four years.
或者是一个EVIDENCE是不需要推出的,或者是无关的。

那么B呢?
我解读B的意思是在过去四年里(property tax收入)/(总收入)的比例都没有改变。那跟D的结论(比例没有改变,分子变小,分母也变小)也是一样!
拜托NN指点迷津~
我觉得楼上的gg讲得很清楚了,嗯,
比如我们挣了钱要上税,这里涉及到3个概念:收入;税率;上税额,他们的相互关系是:收入*税率=上税额
在这道题里:房地产的估价(the assessed value of that real estate)*税率(percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city )=上税额(The total amount of revenue that Altonville has collected from property taxes )
想想:估价下降了,税率没变,那么上税额肯定下降了;不知道这样讲,是不是好懂一些?
明白了!楼上mm讲的清晰明了,唉,真不知道当时自己是怎么想的,就是转不过这个弯来!
不是很赞成答案D.我感觉D没有考虑成交量的因素.据个例子.以前房屋100一个,税率5%,成交量一个,那么上税=100*5%*1=0.05
但是现在房屋80一个,成交量2个,税率5%,那么上税=80*5%*2=0.08
尽管房产价格下降(从100到80),但是上税还是多了(0.08>0.05)
在这个过程中,不变得只有税率5%.
我选B,请指正.

支持D
11楼的MM讲的比较清楚了。
B. The percentage of Altonville’s overall revenue that was collected from property taxes did not change over the past four years.
一个百分比保持不变是需要严格条件的,因为要要求分子分母同比列增加。Altonville’s overall revenue的其他部分不知道怎么样,怎么获得其百分比不遍的结论呢?
请mm再仔细想想.
有两种理解(1)if total income=income from property tax+income from other tax, since the income from other tax is unknow, it cannot conclude that income from property vs total income remains constant.
(2)if the meaning of choice B is interpreted as below, i DO think that B is correct.
%=income from property tax vs basis for property tax calculation(税基)% remains constant since the government does not raise the tax rate.
so my problem is: what is the meaning of choice B? what compares to what? thanks
what compares to what?
overall revenue that was collected from property taxes / overall revenue ,i think.

property tax 跟成交无关。。
拥有property的人。要按照rate缴税。。
税收=税率×税基
税率不变,税基因为房产市场价值贬值而减少,税收当然就减少啦,选D
B说财产税的税收占总税收的百分比在过去四年内没变,文中并没给出其他税收的条件,怎么能得出B呢?
