a) Calculation of the Tax Results with 35% Federal Income Tax Bracket:

Tax = -$8,000 + $4,500 + $12,500 - $3,500

= $5,500 * 35%

= $1,925

Therefore, the Tax is $1,925, with 35% Federal Income Tax Bracket.

b) Calculation of the Tax Results with 15% Federal Income Tax Bracket:

Tax = -$8,000 + $4,500 + $12,500 - $3,500

= $5,500 * 15%

= $825

Therefore, the Tax is $825, with 15% Federal Income Tax Bracket.
