Answer 1

Solution :-

3 :-

Particulars	Amount
Wages as a sales assistant	$68,700
Interest from Certificate deposit ( CD )	$962
Total taxable income	= $68,700 + $962 = $69,662
Total tax liability under 2016 tax brackets	= $927.50 + $4,256.10 + [ [ $37,651 - $69,662 ] * 25% ] = $5,183.6 + [ 32,011 * 25% ] = $5,183.6 + 8,002.75 = $13,186.35
Tax deducted	$5,250
Total tax payable	= $13,186.35 - $5,250 = $7,936.35
