Answer 1

Della's Pennsylvania state tax liability is $12,679.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax Liability

= [{(Income Tax Base - Non Business Income) x Apportionment Factor} + Allocated Non- business Income] x tc

= [{($433,500 - $76,700) x 0.2852} + $61,850] x 0.0775

= [$101,759.36 + $61,850] x 0.0775

= $163,609.36 x 0.0775

= $12,679.73

Therefore, Della's Pennsylvania state tax liability is $12,679.73
