    total tax liability = $6,000

    marginal tax rate = 20%

    Explanation:

    total tax liability = ($4,000 x 10%) + [ ($50,000 - $40,000) x 20%] = $4,000 + $2,000 = $6,000

    The marginal tax rate is the tax rate applicable to an additional dollar of income. Since the $50,000 income falls into the second bracket, the marginal tax rate is 20%.
