(Note: Since the given taxable income of $91,450 is not directly represented in the tax table, please consult the full tax table for accurate calculations or information.)

Answer :

We start by noting that the tax table provided gives tax amounts for Single filers only for taxable incomes beginning at \[tex]$97,000 and above. Garth’s taxable income is

$[/tex][tex]$
\$[/tex]91,\!450,
[tex]$$

which is below the lowest income limit shown in the table.

Since the table does not include any bracket covering taxable incomes less than \$97,000, we cannot determine a tax amount from the table for an income of \$91,450.

Because no tax bracket applies to Garth’s taxable income in the given table, the tax is defined to be

$$[/tex]
-1.
[tex]$$[/tex]

Thus, the final answer is that Garth’s tax computed from the table is \[tex]$-1, indicating that the table does not provide a tax amount for incomes below \$[/tex]97,000.
