Growth rate
Smith earned gross income of 40000 last year. According to the income tax structure, taxes are 25% of the first 20,000 of gross income plus 50% of the excess over 20,000.

Find the real annual rate of growth in Smith’s ATI and his taxes paid if the government continues with the old scheme (no indexing)
