Answer:
$10,527
Step by step Explanation:
Ist January to 31 August is 8 months
Therefore;
$54,000 x 12/8 = 81,000
15% x 50,000 = 7,500
25% x 25,000 = 6,250
34% x 6,000 = 2,040
7,500 + 6,250 + 2,040 = 15,790
Short period = 15,790 x 8/12 = $10,526.673.
Therefore The tax for this short period is $10,526.673 approximately $10,527
