Answer 1

Answer:

$47439.50

Explanation:

For a single tax payer if your taxable income range is $200,000 - $500,000 then your income tax is $45,689.50 + 35% of amount over $200,000 of taxable income.

Income tax liability = $45689.50+{ 205000-200000)×35%}

$45689.50+(5000×35/100)

$45689.50+(5000×0.35)

$45689.50+1750

= $47439.50

The income tax liability will be $47439.50
