A.
As per the tax bracket of the year 2012, an unmarried who has taxable income of $67,000 should fall under 25% tax bracket. The corresponding tax bill amount is as below:
Tax bill amount = 4867.50 + (67000 – 35350) × 25%
= 4867.50 + 31650 × 25%
= 4867.50 + 7912.50
= $12,780 (Answer)
B.
Average tax rate = (Tax bill amount / Taxable income) × 100
= (12,780 / 67,000) × 100
= 19.07% (Answer)
