c)
To determine: Average tax rate and marginal tax rate of a single tax payer.
c)

Calculation of taxes:
Hence, taxes are $78,445.50
Calculation of Average tax rate:
Hence, average tax rate is 26.14%
The marginal rate of tax is the tax rate that a person is incurred on his income of each additional dollar. Here the marginal rate is 35% incurred on each additional dollar of his income.

Calculation of taxes:
Hence, taxes are $1,075,689.50
Calculation of Average tax rate:
Hence, average tax rate is 35.86%
