Answer:

a) X = 14.7%

b) X = 140%

c) X = 10.76%

d) X = 5.83%

e) X = 40%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Let the tax rate be = X%

then 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100+(X × 240,000)÷100 = $56,000

100X+1,300X+2,400X = $56,000

X = $56,000÷3,800

= 14.7%

b) ((X × 10,000)÷100)× 4 = $56,000

400X = $56,000

X = 140%

c) ((X × 130,000)÷100)×4 = $56,000

5,200 X = $56,000

X = 10.76%

d) ((X × 240,000)÷100 )×4 = $56,000

9,600 X = $56,000

X = 5.83%

e) X× 0+(X × 10,000)÷100+(X × 130,000)÷100 = $56,000

1,400 X = $56,000

X = 40%
