Answer to Question 1

The O'Connors will receive a 472 refund.
Total income: 52,700; subtract the IRA contribution; 52,700 - 3,500 = 49,200
Medical and dental: 5,200; 7.5 of adjusted gross income is 0.075  49,200 = 3,690;
5,200 - 3,690 = 1,510 is deductible.
Total deductions: 1,510 + 13,150 = 14,660;
Deduct for exemptions: 6  3,500 = 21,000;
Subtract deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income:
49,200 - 14,660 - 21,000 = 13,540.
Use the tax table to find tax: 1,353. Then find the difference between the amount paid, 1,825, and the amount owed: 1,825 - 1,353 = 472.

Answer to Question 2

45,520;
Total income: 78,800; subtract the IRA contributions; 78,800 - 4,000 = 74,800;
Medical and dental of 3,129 is less than 7.5 of adjusted gross income, so it is not deductible.
Total deductions: 11,780; Deduct for exemptions: 5  3,500 = 17,500
Subtract deductions and exemptions from the adjusted gross income:
74,800 - 11,780 - 17,500 = 45,520

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
