QuestionCalculate the income tax h(x)h(x) for the following incomes: (a) 12601260, (b) 71607160, (c) 4907049070. 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.
h(1260)=0.02×1260h(1260) =0.02 \times1260

STEP 4

Calculate the value of h(1260).
h(1260)=0.02×1260=$25.20h(1260) =0.02 \times1260 = \$25.20This 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.
h(7160)=120+0.03×(71606000)h(7160) =120 +0.03 \times (7160 -6000)

STEP 7

Calculate the value of h(7160).
h(7160)=120+0.03×(71606000)=$147.80h(7160) =120 +0.03 \times (7160 -6000) = \$147.80This 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.
h(49,070)=270+.04×(49,07011,000)h(49,070) =270 +.04 \times (49,070 -11,000)

STEP 10

Calculate the value of h(49,070).
h(49,070)=270+0.04×(49,070,000)=$,812.80h(49,070) =270 +0.04 \times (49,070 -,000) = \$,812.80This means that a single person with a taxable income of \$49,070 would owe \$,812.80 in state income tax.
