a) $45,000 b) $250,000 C) $600,000
a.
Taxable Income = $45,000
Upto $50,000 of taxable income, tax rate is 15%.
Tax liability = $45,000 × 15%
= $6,750.
Tax Liability is $6,750.
Average tax rate is 15% and Marginal tax rate is 15%.
b.
Taxable Income = $250,000
Total tax liability is calculated in excel and screen shot provided below:
Total Tax liability is $80,749.
Maximum Tax rate company pays is 39%. So marginal tax rate is $80,749.
Average tax rate = $80,749 / $250,000
= 32.30%.
Average tax rate is 32.30%.
c.
Taxable Income = $600,000
Total tax liability is calculated in excel and screen shot provided below:
Total Tax liability is $203,999.
Maximum Tax rate company pays is 34%. So marginal tax rate is $203,999.
Average tax rate = $203,999 / $600,000
= 34.00%.
Average tax rate is 34.00%.
