Veronica is self employed. in one year, veronica generates a gross income of $65,500. when calculating her taxes, veronica is allowed to deduct up to $2,500 in expenses from her gross income (to give the 'operating income'), but if her expenses exceed $2,500 then any surplus must be deducted against her income after tax. in this calendar year, veronica's total expenses were $5,500. the tax system is such that she must pay 15% tax on any operating income up to $25,000 and then 30% on any operating income over $25,000. calculate veronica's net profit, that is, the amount she earns after all taxes and expenses.

$44,850

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross income is $65,500

Allowable deductions are $2,500

Operating income is $65,500-$2,500=$63,000

From the given tax structure, Veronia will pay 15% for the first $25,000 then 30% for $63,000-$25,000=$38,000

Tax will be (0.15*$25,000)+(0.3*$38,000)=$15,150

Remaining expenses will be $5,500-$2,500=$3,000

Income after tax will be $63,000-$15,150=$47,850

Net income=$47,850-$3,000=$44,850

Ans=$44,850

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
