Question

g You earn $40,221 at your job and must pay 11% of your income in taxes. You then decide to save 8% of your disposable income. How much do you have left for consumption spending? Round to two decimal places.

Answer 1

The amount of money left for consumption is $32,933.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Total gross Income

$40221 * (1-tc)

40221*(1-.011)

=35796.69

Disposable income is the amount left for saving and spending after income taxes have been paid which in this case would be $35,797

so 8% of this amount is saved meaning 92% will be left for spending

Savings 37,797*0.08 = $2,863.76

Left for consumption =$32,933.24
