1. Richard's monthly salary is $8,600.

 

Income tax schedule

First $3,000.. no tax

$3,001 to $5,000....10%

Above $5,000....28%

 

Required:

a) Compute his total income tax liability 

b) Compute his net pay 

Expert Solution
Step 1: a) Computation of his total income tax liability

a) First, let's find out how much of Richard's salary falls into each tax bracket:

$3,000 * 0% = $0 (no tax)

($5,000-$3,000)*10%= $2,000 * 10% = $200

($8,600-$5,000)= $3,600 * 28% = $1,008

Total income tax liability = $0 + $200 + $1,008 = $1,208
