Expert Solution

Mr. John is in 35% marginal tax bracket

This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate.

John's immediate additional income is $250*7=$1750

marginal tax on this additional income is $1750*35%=$612.5

net additional income is $1750-$612.5=$1137.5

* In addition to this 5.8 percent tax rate, a landlord must also collect the local option surtax imposed on rental payments this tax rate is applicable to the lease period to which the rent relates

* Furthermore, a lease of residential real property which is taxable as a transient rental (because it does not satisfy the six month bona fide written lease requirement) is also subject to local tourist development taxes. The rate on these local tourist development taxes varies from 5 percent to 7 percent for most major counties. There is no reduction in the tax rates of these local level tourist development taxes.

these are the relevant tax factors that should be taken care about while making the decision of extend the rental of condo.
