Answer: d. $72,179

Explanation:

For couples filing jointly in 2018, their tax rates are as follows:

10% for $0 to $19,050

12% for $19,051 to $77,400

22% for $77,401 to $165,000  

24% for $165,001 to $315,000

32% for $315,001 to $400,000

But income tax is progressive, so the tax rate only applies to the amount in that bracket above the basic tax. So their first income of $19050 is taxed at 10% and the next  58350 is taxed at 12% and so on.

For a taxable income of 340000 , the applicable tax is as follows:

19050 at 10% = 1905

58350 at 12% = 7002

87600 at 22% = 19272

150000 at 24% = 36000  

25000 at 32% = 8000

1905  + 7002  + 19272  + 36000 +  8000  = $72,179

How did the growth of the railroads affect the United States?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Of the options provided "fast, cheap railroad transportation benefited is businesses" is the correct response.

Explanation:

The railroads made it possible to ship goods without having to use the canals and rivers that transportation relied upon previously in what is today the Midwestern and south central United States.  It helped to reduce the time it took to transport goods across vast distances and it helped to lower costs. The railroads made the rapid settlement of the Midwest and the West Coast possible.  Factories on the East Coast also benefited from the expansion of the railway system as raw materials could be shipped in at lower prices and in greater quantities. The products they produced could also be more efficiently sent to far-off locations for sale.
