Answer 1

Answer:

• Tax liability = $24,222.50
• Marginal rate = 24%
• Average rate = 19.35%

Explanation:

Question requires that we find the Tax liability, Marginal rate and Average rate.

Tax liability:

Chandler is in the $84,200 to $160,725 bracket.

= 14,382.50 + 24% * (125,200 - 84,200)

= 14,382.50 + 9,840

= $‭24,222.5‬0

Marginal rate = 24%

Chandler's bracket is the 24% bracket.

Average rate:

= Tax/ Taxable income

= 24,222.50 / 125,200

= 19.35%
