Answer:

Federal tax = $10,856.25

Explanation:

Given:

Tax rate schedule for year 2014.

Income between  $36,900 - $89,350

$5,081.25 + 25% over $36,900

Total income = $60,000

Computation:

So,Income between  $36,900 - $89,350

Federal tax = $5,081.25 + 25% ($60,000 - $36,900)

Federal tax = $5,081.25 + 25% ($23,100)

Federal tax = $5,081.25 + 0.25 ($23,100)

Federal tax = $5,081.25 + $5,775

Federal tax = $10,856.25
