Scenario 3-3. Suppose that the government introduces an EITC such that for the first $8,000 in earnings, the government pays 50¢ per dollar on wages earned. For the next $3,000 of earnings, the credit is held constant at $4,000, and after that point, the credit is reduced at a rate of 20¢ per dollar earned. When the credit reaches zero, there is no additional EITC. Furthermore assume a worker who can work up to 4,000 hours per year at an hourly wage of $10 per hour. Answer the questions below and calculate for the first 800 hours of work.Based on Scenario 3-3 When the EITC disappears how much does the worker get to consume (do not use $ sign)
