e) $0

Answer 1

d) $1, 316

Step-by-step explanation:

Particulars Amount

Maximum Credit $5,572

Phase out limit $4,256 (38,400 - 18,190)*21.06%

Earned Income Credit Entitled to = Maximum Credit - Phase out limit

Earned Income Credit Entitled to = $5,572 - $4,256

Earned Income Credit Entitled to = $1,316
