Company N will receive $55,000 of taxable revenue from a client. Use Appendix A and Appendix B.

in year 0 and $7,400 taxable income in years 1 and 2. The income and loss reflect before-tax cash inflow and outflow. Firm E

- Consider two tax systems. Tax system A has a tax rate of 5% on the first $20,000 of taxable income, then 20% on the next $30,000, then 50% on all taxable income above $50,000. Tax system A has a standard deduction of $5,000. Tax system B has a flat tax rate of 30% on all taxable income and a standard deduction of $10,000. Consider 2 individuals, the first with income of $51,000 and the second with income of $56,000. (a) Calculate the average and the marginal tax rates of both individuals under both tax systems.arrow_forwardNow consider another hypothetical tax code. Assume the tax rate on the first $15,000 of taxable income is 10% and the tax rate on any additional income is 18%. The standard deduction ($6,350) and personal exemption ($4,050) still apply. In other words: . For taxable income from $0 to $15,000, you pay 10% of your taxable income in taxes, plus . For taxable income above $15,000, you pay 18% of your taxable income. 1. If your total income before exemptions were $10,000 how much would you pay in taxes? 2. If your total income were $20,000 how much would you pay in taxes? 3. If your total income were $50,000 how much would you pay in taxes? 4. Write a function to model the total tax paid, T(x), with a total income of x dollars. 5. Create a graph that shows taxes paid as a function of total income for the total income between $0 and $60,000. 6. How many different slopes are on this graph?arrow_forwardIf you would have to pay $5,000 in taxes on $50,000 taxable income and $8,000 in taxes on $60,000 taxable income, then the marginal tax rate on the additional $10,000 of income is A.- 15 percent, and the average tax rate is 30 percent at the $60,000 income level. B.- 30 percent, and the average tax rate is about 13 percent at the $60,000 income level. C.- 30 percent, but average tax rates cannot be determined from the information given. D.- 30 percent, and the average tax rate is 20 percent at the $50,000 income level.arrow_forward
- Which of the following is true? (a) Tax rates are based on two flat-rate schedules, one for individuals and one for businesses. (b) When businesses subtract expenses, they always include capital costs. (c) For businesses, taxable income is total income less depreciation and ordinary expenses. (d) When quantifying depreciation allowance, one must always divide first cost by MACRS 3-year life.arrow_forwardThis term refers to an asset sold for more than its original value. Using taxable income, it is based on tax tables or tax rate schedules. During this transaction, you can exclude the first $250,000 ($500,000 for married taxpayers) of gain on sale. This term refers to passive income offset. This term essentially includes all income subject to federal tax.arrow_forward5) Yawl Inc. must choose between two business opportunities.
