A.
$2.00

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

Option C $5.00

Explanation:

From given table, since column A showing minimum earning and column B showing maximum earning of employees. Morris currently makes salary $325 per week that is fall in range $300 - $400 in that row we see the column of 2 exemption (exemption $2.00) tax withholding amount.

Now if Morris takes no exemptions we see column 0 and row 300-400 it will be $7.00.

Hence Morris will take withholding ( $7 - $2) = $5.00

His weekly withholding is $5.00 more if he takes no exemptions.

Answer 2

C. $5.00

Explanation:

In the weekly salary range of $300–400, the withholding for 2 exemptions is $2. For 0 exemptions, it is $7.

Changing the number of exemptions from 2 to 0 will increase withholding from $2 to $7, an increase of $5.00.
