Answer:

The average tax rate is 26.17%

Explanation:

The computation of the average tax rate having the taxable income is $130,513 is shown below:

$50,000 × 0.15 = $7,500

$25,000 × 0.25 = $6,250

$25,000 × 0.34 = $8,500

$30,513 × 0.39 = $11,900.07

Tax amount is $34,150.07

Now the average tax rate is

= Tax amount ÷ taxable income × 100

= $34,150.07 ÷ $130,513 × 100

= 26.17%

Hence, the average tax rate is 26.17%
