QuestionCalculate the income tax for the following incomes: (a) , (b) , (c) . Round to the nearest cent.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The function h(x) is defined as a piecewise function, where x is the taxable income of a single person.
. The function h(x) is divided into three parts based on the range of x.
3. The tax rate varies depending on the range of x.
STEP 2
To find the value of h(1260), we need to identify which range1260 falls into. Looking at the function, we can see that1260 falls into the first range0 ≤ x <6000.
STEP 3
Now that we know which part of the function to use, we can substitute1260 into the function for x.
STEP 4
Calculate the value of h(1260).
This means that a single person with a taxable income of \$1260 would owe \$25.20 in state income tax.
STEP 5
Next, we find the value of h(7160). Again, we need to identify which range7160 falls into. Looking at the function, we can see that7160 falls into the second range6000 ≤ x <11,000.
STEP 6
Now that we know which part of the function to use, we can substitute7160 into the function for x.
STEP 7
Calculate the value of h(7160).
This means that a single person with a taxable income of \$7160 would owe \$147.80 in state income tax.
STEP 8
Finally, we find the value of h(49,070). Again, we need to identify which range49,070 falls into. Looking at the function, we can see that49,070 falls into the third range x ≥11,000.
STEP 9
Now that we know which part of the function to use, we can substitute49,070 into the function for x.
STEP 10
Calculate the value of h(49,070).
This means that a single person with a taxable income of \$49,070 would owe \$,812.80 in state income tax.
