Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is $15,574.

Step-by-step explanation:

A warehouse manager earns an annual salary of $65,700, and he contributes $5800 per year to his 401(k) plan.

Now, multiplying the percentage withheld for taxes by the pretax income to get the manager's income tax withholding.

This becomes : $0.26\times59900=15574$ dollars.
