Answer 1

Answer:

E) None of the choices are correct.

18.289,26‬

As we given an option with two decimals which are different from the calculated amount we should take it as incorrect.

Explanation:

The municipal bonds are tax free. Therfore, not included.

We will calcuatae based on 2019 income tax brackets for single-taxers

between $82,501 to $157,500 the amount is $14,089.50 + 24% of the amount over 78,950

100,000 - 82,501 = 17,499

17,499 x 24% = 4,199.76

14,089.50 + 4,199.76 = 18.289,26‬
