    Answer: 16.5% is the average tax rate that will result in a 10 percent increase in tax revenues.

    Explanation:

    This is an example of static forecasting since no time parameter is involved.

    Now,

    Let initial revenue be "R",

    "n" be no. of taxpayer

    ∴ R = 65000*0.15*n

    R + 0.1R = 65000*rate*n

    Using the above two equation, we'll get;

    r = 16.5%
