    A. Marginal tax rate is 34.02%

    B. Marginal tax rate is 33.00%

    Step by Step Explanation:

    A. If Campbell earns an additional $15,000 of taxable income, her marginal tax rate on the income is 34.02 percent.

    Marginal tax rate=Tax/Taxable income

    ($120,709.05-$115,606.25) = $5,102.8

    ($415,000 - $400,000) = $15,000

    $5102.8/$15,000 = 3.401

    3.401 * 100 = 34.02%

    b. If Campbell instead had $15,000 of additional tax deductions, her marginal tax rate on the deductions would be 33.00 percent.

    Marginal tax rate=Tax/Taxable income

    ($110,656.25-$115,606.25) = $4,950

    ($385,000 - $400,000) = $15,000

    $4,950/$42,000 = 0.33

    0.33*100 = 33.00%
