QuestionCalculate the income tax function for a single person based on taxable income and find , , . Interpret . What does this imply?
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The function h(x) represents the tax rule for a single person's taxable income in a state.
. The function is defined in three parts, each representing a different income bracket.
3. The taxable income, x, is a non-negative real number.
4. The function values h(1260), h(7160), and h(49070) are to be found and interpreted.
5. The value of h(7160) is given as $154.80.
STEP 2
First, we need to find the value of h(1260). Since1260 is in the first income bracket (0 <= x <6000), we use the rule for that bracket.
STEP 3
Calculate the value of h(1260).
STEP 4
Now, we need to find the value of h(7160). Since7160 is in the second income bracket (6000 <= x <11000), we use the rule for that bracket.
STEP 5
Calculate the value of h(7160).
STEP 6
Next, we need to find the value of h(49070). Since49070 is in the third income bracket (x >=11000), we use the rule for that bracket.
STEP 7
Calculate the value of h(49070).
STEP 8
Now, we interpret the values. The value of h(1260) = \$25.2 means that an individual with a taxable income of \$1260 will have to pay \$25.2 as tax.
STEP 9
The value of h(716) = \$154.8 means that an individual with a taxable income of \$716 will have to pay \$154.8 as tax.
STEP 10
The value of h(49070) = \$1828 means that an individual with a taxable income of \$49070 will have to pay \$1828 as tax.
STEP 11
From the value of h(7160), we can infer that an individual with a taxable income of \$7160 will have to pay \$154.8 as tax. So, the correct option is B.
