Answers; B = BonusAnswers; B = Bonus
1. B = 0.12 * $400,000
B = $48,000
2. B = 0.12 * ($400,000 – B)
B = $48,000 – 0.12B
1.12B = $48,000
B = $42,857.14
5-17
Answers continued; T = TaxAnswers continued; T = Tax
3. B = 0.12 * ($400,000 – B – T)
B = $48,000 – 0.12B – 0.12T
T = 0.20 * ($400,000 – B)
T = $80,000 – 0.20B
B = $48,000 – 0.12B – 0.12 * ($80,000 – 0.2B)
B = $48,000 - 0.12B - $9,600 + 0.096B
B = $38,400 – 0.096B
1.096B = $38,400
