Answer:$1,825

Explanation:

Based on the single tax rate schedule, of the additional $10,900 of taxable income, $9,000 is taxed at 15% (the increase $31,375 to $42,275) and the remaining $1,900 ($38,650 minus $37,650) is taxed at 25%. To summarize, ($9,000 * 15%) + ($1,900 * 25%)

= $1,350+$475

=$1,825

The income tax from second job increases her tax liability by $1,825.
