Calculation of average tax rate that will result in a 17 percent increase in tax revenues:


Currently, the average taxpayer in the united states earns $52,000 and pays an average tax rate of 20 percent, so the average tax revenue is 52000*20% = $10,400

If Congress wants to increase tax revenues by 17 percent, then the average tax revenue shall be 10400+(10400*17%) = $12,168


Hence average tax rate that will result in a 17 percent increase in tax revenues shall be = 12168 / 52000 = 0.234 = <u>23.40%</u>

In asset acquisitions, the value of land includes the purchase price plus all other relevant expenses such as legal fees, commissions, and survey fees. Discounts received are deducted from the purchase price before the price is recorded in the books. An organization will value and depreciate its assets based on the price it purchased them.
