First let’s calculate Talley's taxable income in following manner
Income after all operating costs - $300,000
Less: Interest charges - $30,000
Plus: Taxable Dividends received (30% of total dividend) - $4,500
Taxable Income- $274,500
Now calculate your tax liability (Refer the Corporate Tax Rates schedule)
$274,500 falls into the $100,000 to $335,000 tax bracket which has 39% of tax rate
Therefore the corporate tax = Base Amount + marginal tax rate * difference between taxable income - lower base
= $22,250 + 39% ($274,500 - $100,000)
= $22,250 + $ 68,055
= $90,305
Therefore Income tax Liability is $90,305
After-tax income = Taxable income - Income tax Liability
=$274,500 - $90,305
= $184,195
The company's marginal and average tax rates on taxable income are -
Talley's marginal tax rate is 39.00% as its taxable income $274,500 falls into the $100,000 to $335,000 tax bracket which has 39% of marginal tax rate.
Talley's average tax rate = Talley's Income tax Liability / Talley's Taxable income
Average Tax Rate = $90,305 / $274,500 = 32.90%
