Answer 1

Federal Tax = $1,940+12% of ($41,500 - $19,400)

= $1,940 + 12% of $22,100

= $1,940+$2,652

= $4,592

Average tax rate = Federal Tax/Taxable Income = $4,592/$41,500

= 11.07%

Effective tax rate = Federal Tax/ Total Income = $4,592/($41,500+$27,500)

= $4,592/$69,000

= 6.66 %

Marginal tax rate = 12%
