how the hell do u do this question..
my answer like in the 800-900's! wtf?

since her gross income is 900, how the hell can her montly income be 486.44 when the tax for one month is like $72

maybe im doing something wrong..
did u guys get tihis question?

 

[Benno]

lol yeah i know what u mean i didnt know how to do this either so i just wrote down some crap and hoped for a mark or 2

 

[princesse]

tell me about it...the numbers just didnt work out...so i just wrote down how i would do it if the numbers did actually work out.
or maybe we're all wrong...most likely

 

[Lundy]

Yes I got this one...you have to work out the tax from both jobs put together, not separately, as I was doing for a while before I realised my mistake.

 

[Dammit]

Total Tax was like $19300 or something

At the top it says She pays $14410.80 tax on this income.

So $19300 - 14410.80 = 4889.20

Tax on 2nd job = $4889.20

Her 2nd Job gross income is 900 x 12 = $10800


Her NET annual income for job 2 = 10800 - 4889.20
=5910.80

5910.80 divided by 12 = $492.56

Which is pretty close to the monthly net income (obviously it would be right if i had the exact total Tax figure down instead of just using 19300$.

 

[loke1]

total income from two jobs = 69424
total tax payable on both jobs = 19373.52
minus tax from income = 50050.45
net income from job 1 = 58624 - 14410.0 = 44213.2
take 44213.2 from 50050.45 and you get the net income for job 2, which is 5837.28
divide by 12 months = 486.44

 

[mushi]

thx alot guys..

looks like i only took her 2nd job into account..not the 1st one

 

[connie]

awwww i so stuffed up that question! -5 marks!

 

[Chelle]

lol i got the same thing in the 800-900's lol

But for 24biv

I did my answer for my amount and she got like 30 000 or something so i was like sure she'd have enough. Then i looked at the time thought for a moment and did the calculations for $486.44 and wrote them down too..

So i wonder if they'll take that. Because i wrote "if in fact her monthly net income is $486.44 then she still would have enough for her trip" and did the working and stuff..

I hope i get marks!!

 

[Flick]

Yep, I didn't realise we needed to take her 1st job into account, oh well. At least I got the other two points (for iv) I just assumed that the ppl who wrote the paper were right about her net income (otherwise what would be the point? LOL) and used that number.

 

[mushi]

heh yeh, i stole the 486.44 from iii) for question b iv) as well, even tho i couldnt prove it

i wrote down that she had enuff..she had like 12200-400 (cant remember)

sounds right?

 

[kkorpz]

=P
that question didn't make any sense to me.. i just threw a whole lot of numbers at em..

 

[tiger_03]

I screwed up b)iii - got something like $800 and something, and then used that for b)iv, would i get anyhting for that, if ive done the calculations right?

 

[AshleaSK]

With the bit about 900.. alot of people I know thought that was her annual gross income, rather than her monthly gross income.

 

[honky tonk]

I screwed up the entire section.

I may have gotten full marks for part (a) and part (b)(iv), but i lost a definite 9 marks for the rest... I got thrown right off track for that question.
