Alice and Alan have been married for five years and have two children. In 2018, Alice had wages from her programming job of $65,000 and Alan made $20,000 as a part-time accountant. Alice also got an additional $5,000 year-end bonus paid to her on December 24. In 2018, they contributed $10,000 to Alice’s traditional 401k, and $4,000 to Alan’s traditional IRA. Assuming a taxable income of $80,000, what is Alice and Alan’s federal marginal tax rate?

22%

Explanation:

since taxable income is gross income - all possible deductions and and exemptions, we need to calculate Alice and Alan's tax bracket as married filing jointly for 2018.

The following table shows some of the tax brackets that were valid for 2018:

Rate     Individuals                Married Filing Jointly

10%         Up to $9,525                 Up to $19,050

12%         $9,526 to $38,700$19,051 to $77,400

22%       $38,701 to $82,500$77,401 to $165,000

24%        $82,501 to $157,500$165,001 to $315,000

32%        $157,501 to $200,000$315,001 to $400,000

We cannot determine their tax brackets if they wanted to file separately since we are only given a combined taxable income amount.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
