    Answer: $6,000

    Explanation: Considering the tax structure:

    An employee with a total income of $60,000 will pay:

    1st $20,000 = $20,000*5%=$1,000

    2nd $30,000 = $30,000*10% = $3,000

    Bal of $10,000 = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000

    Total Tax payable = $1,000+$3,000 + $2,000=$6,000
