Chandler is single and reports

taxable income of $132,200.

Tax liability: 25,903

Marginal rate: 24 %

Average rate: 17.94 x % = wrong

Average rate = total liable tax/ total income= 25, 903/ 132,200=0.195937 rounded to 0.1959

0.1959 x 100 = 19.59%.correct

b. Lazare, a head of household, records

taxable income of $80,600.

Average rate = total liable tax/ total income= 12,176/ 80,600= .0.15106= 0.1511

0.1511 x 100 = 15.11%.correct.
