The amount of tax paid less by Caroline as per the new taxation policies will be $950 over her annual salary of $42,200 after the taxes are applied assuming deductions being made.

The calculation of tax saved by Caroline will be done on the basis of comparing the taxation rates of both the policies after taking the changes into account.

<h3>Calculation of tax savings</h3>

The formula for calculation of tax will be done as follows when the taxes are charged on flat basis under the old policy,

\rm Income\ Tax= Salary\ x\ Rate\ of\ Taxation\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= 42200\ x\ {\dfrac{25}{100}\\\\\\\\\\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$10550

The taxation for the first $20000 as per the new policy will be

\rm Income\ Tax\ Threshold= 20000\ x\ \dfrac{15}{100}\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$3000

Calculating further taxation,

\rm Income\ Tax= 22200\ x\ \dfrac{30}{100}\\\\\rm Income\ Tax= \$6600

So, total taxation as per the new policy will be $9600. Now comparing the taxation of old scheme with new scheme, we get,

\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings= Old\ Taxation - New\ Taxation\\\\\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings=10550-9600\\\\\rm Income\ Tax\ Savings=950

So, the total taxes saved are $950 when the taxation rate changes.

Hence, the correct statement is that tax savings of $950 is possible when the authorities change the taxation rates to such slab rates by Caroline.

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The yield to call  is 5.07%

Explanation:

The yield to call can be computed using the rate formula in excel,which is given as :=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of years to call which is 6 years

pmt is the annual interest coupon payable by the bond,which is :6.75%*$1000=$67.5

The pv is the current price at which the bond is offered to investors. i.e $1,135.25

fv is the price at the bond would be called in six years i.e par value+premium

par value is $1000

premium is $67.5

call price is $1067.5

=rate(6,67.5,-1135.25,1067.5)

rate=5.07%
