Answer:
a) We need to collect $800,000, but as uncollectible property taxes ar 3% of the levy we need to collect
800,000/(97%)=$824,742.27
Which should be collected from the value of all properties less that with exemptions. That is
[tex]$50[/tex]
[tex]-$10[/tex] Government
[tex]-$2.5[/tex] Homestead
[tex]-$1[/tex] Veterans
[tex]-$0.5[/tex] Old age, etc.
___________
[tex]$36[/tex] million
The tax rate would be [tex]\frac{824,742.27}{36,000,000} = 0.02291[/tex] that is $22.91 per $1,000 of assessed valuations.
b) $100,000*0.02291= $2,291
