Explanation:

Given that,

Leonardo taxable income = $90,000

Tulsa bonds = $8,750

Theresa taxable income = $50,000

Computation of Leonardo's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 24% of taxable income over $82,500

                = $14,089.50 + 24% × $7,500

                = $14,089.50 + $1,800

                = $15,889.5

Computation of Theresa's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 22% of taxable income over $38,700

                = $4453.50 + 22% × $11,300

                = $4453.50 + $2,486

                = $6939.5

Total tax on Leonardo's income and Theresa's income:

= $15,889.5 + $6939.5
