    Taxable income - 150,000

    Federal tax = [28,457.50 + 28% * (150,000-146,500) ] = 29465.5

    Average tax rate = Total tax/Taxable income=29465.5/150,000=19.64%

    Effective tax rate = Total tax/Total income

    Total income = Taxable income+Income from investment=150,000+40,000=190,000

    So, Effective tax rate = 29465.5/190,000=15.51%
