Marginal tax rate _________________ %Explanation / Answer
From Table 2.3, the $330,000 of taxable income puts Oakdale Fashion in the 39 percent marginal tax bracket. Thus,
Tax liability = Tax on base amount + Tax rate (amount over base):
= $22,250 + .39 ($330,000 - $100,000) = $111,950
Note that the base amount is the maximum dollar value listed in the previous tax bracket. The average tax rate for Oakdale Fashions Inc. comes to:
Average tax rate = $111,950/ $330,000= 33.92%
