a. How much federal tax will she owe?
b. what is her average tax rate?
c. what is her effective tax rate?
d. what is her current marginal tax rate?

Solution

a. Federal tax that Campbell owes = $46643.75 + (400000 - 191650) * 33% = $115399.25 (refer to Tax table provided under)

Interest of $2000 from the investment in State of New York Bonds are exempt from tax, being state bonds.

b.Average tax rate = Tax liability / Total taxable income = $115399.25 / $400000 = 28.85%

c. Effective tax rate = Tax liability / Total income = $115399.25 / $402000 = 28.71%

d. Current marginal tax rate = Last taxed rate = 33%
