Answer:

Sylvia will report $28,200 on her tax return.

Option C) $28,200 is the correct Answer

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Combined Income =   ( 4,000 × 8 ) + ( 2000 × 3) = 32,000 + 6,000 = 38,000

Sylvia Separate Income = ( 2000 × 4 ) + ( 200 × 12/2) = 8000 + 1200 = 9,200

Now, the Income that Sylvia will report is;

⇒ (38,000 / 2) + 9200

= 19,000 + 9,200

= 28,200

Therefore Sylvia will report $28,200 on her tax return.

Option C) $28,200 is the correct Answer
