    Brant's gross pay is $1,088.53 and his tax rate is 25.00%. To calculate his federal income taxes, we need to multiply his gross pay by his tax rate.

    To calculate Diana's net pay, we need to subtract the total deductions from her total wages. In this case, her total wages include regular hourly wages ($900.00) and overtime wages ($150.00), which sum up to $1050.00.

Therefore, a mortgage is considered a liability because it represents an amount that needs to be paid back in the future.
