Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate. Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate. Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure?

Explanation:

• Ms. Vello earned $127,200 income this year. Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate.

Ms. Vello's tax is calculated as:

= $72,200 × 7%

= $72000 × 0.07

= $5054

Her average tax rate will be:

= $5,054/$127,200

= 3.97%

• Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate.

Mr. Sui's tax will be:

= $13,900 × 7%

= $13900 × 0.07

= $973

His average tax rate will be:

= $973/$68,900

= 1.41%

• Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure

Willford has a progressive tax rate. This is because as the base rises, the tax rate also increases. The higher the income, then the higher the tax rate will also be.
