babunello [35]

Answer:

$9,379

Explanation:

using the 2020 tax brackets:

the Comer's gross income = $68,000 + $33,000 + $1,500 = $102,500

taxable income = $102,500 - $24,800 (standard deduction for married couples) = $77,700

taxes owed = $1,975 + [12% x ($77,700 - $19,750)] = $8,929

capital gains = $13,000 - $10,000 = $3,000 x 15% capital gains tax rate = $450

total tax liability = $8,929 + $450 = $9,379

Bumek [7]

Answer:

$3,180

Explanation:

Monthly salary would be the base salary = $2500

Since he would earn 2% of all orders, calculate the dollar value of the commission when total orders amount to $34000;

Commission = 2% *34000 = $680

His total pay would be calculated by adding the base salary to the commission amount;

Total pay = base salary + commission

Total pay = $2500 + $680

Total pay = $3,180
