Answer:
Actual\ tax\ rate = 31.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Net income(before taxes) = $335,000

Effective tax rate for the current year = 29.5%.

We'll compute the actual tax rate using the formula given below:


Actual\ tax\ rate = (Income\ tax\ expense)/(Taxable\ income)

⇒ Taxable Income = Net income(before taxes) - Interest revenue + Insurance premiums

Taxable Income = $335,000 - $35,000 + $12000

∴ Taxable Income = $312,000

⇒ Income tax expense = Income × Effective tax rate

Income tax expense = $335000 × 0.295

∴ Income tax expense = $98,825

Equating these two value in above formula, we get;


Actual\ tax\ rate = (98825)/(312000)


Actual\ tax\ rate = 31.70
