Answer 1

Answer:

$10,527

Step by step Explanation:

Ist January to 31 August is 8 months

Therefore;

$54,000 x 12/8 = 81,000

15% x 50,000 = 7,500

25% x 25,000 = 6,250

34% x 6,000 = 2,040

7,500 + 6,250 + 2,040 = 15,790

Short period = 15,790 x 8/12 = $10,526.673.

Therefore The tax for this short period is $10,526.673 approximately $10,527
