Explanation / Answer

1.1

Correct Answer:

$6000

Working Note:

total assessment value = $150,000

Items under tax exemption

Old age exemption = $10,000

Homestead exemption of $20,000

Total Exemption = 10000+20000 = 30000

Total Value applicable for tax = 150000 - 30000 = 120000

Tax payment rate = 5% or ($5 per $100)

Final tax bill = 5% * 120000 = $6000
