Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To calculate the refund Tony will receive, we need to determine the difference between his tax payment and the amount withheld by his employer.
Tax refund = Tax paid - Amount withheld
Tax refund = $1,722 - $2,071
To find the difference, we subtract the amount withheld from the tax paid:
Tax refund = -$349
b. Since the tax refund is negative (-$349), Tony will not receive a refund. In fact, he has paid more in taxes ($2,071) than his tax liability ($1,722). Therefore, he will not be able to make one car loan payment with the refund, as there is no refund to begin with.
