$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

$829,440; Find the assessed value: 0.6(768,000,000) = $460,800,000 Convert the old levy and the new levy to dollars: 4.9 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0049; 6.7 ÷ 1,000 = 0.0067; Multiply the assessed value by the tax rate in dollars: $460,800,000 × 0.0049 = $2,257,920; $460,800,000 × 0.0067 = $3,087,360; Find the difference between the amounts for the additional funding amount: $3,087,360 - $2,257,920 = $829,440
