    Answer and Explanation:

    A. Adjusted Gross income = Total Income - deductions

    = $45,000 - $2,500 - $3,600

    = $39400 (A)

    B. Adjusted Gross income = Total Income - standardized deductions

    = $39400 - $12200

    = $27200 (B)

    NOTE : $12200 is Standardized Deduction for 2019

    C. Marginal Federal tax rate is 12% (C) because Mr jones's income stand between ($9,526 - $38,700)

    D. Total tax due = $952.50 + 12% of (excess over 9525)

    = $952.50 + 12% ($27200 - $9525)

    =$952.50 + $2121

    = $3073.5 (D)

    E. Average tax rate = total federal tax / total taxable income = $3,073.5 / $27,200 = 0.11299 or 11.299 % (E)

    F. FICA tax = 7.65% (Gross profit)

    = 7.65% ($45,000)

    = $3,422.5 (F)

    G. Effective tax rate = total tax / gross income = ($3,073.5 + $3,422.5) / 45000 = 0.1448 or 14.48% (G)
