Chapter 3 Computing The Tax - Test Bank Town

The variance is due to the fact that the tax for any table bracket amount is determined by using the midpoint amount. In Tom’s case, the tax on the $48,000 – $48,050 bracket is the tax on $48,025. Because Tom’s taxable income (i.e., $48,005) is below $48,025, his tax will be higher. ................
