(Financial application: print a tax table) Listing 3.5 gives a program to compute tax. Write a method for computing tax using the following header:

0

(Financial application: print a tax table) Listing 3.5 gives a program to compute tax. Write a method for computing tax using the following header:

public static double computeTax(int status, double taxableIncome)

Use this method to write a program that prints a tax table for taxable income from
$50,000 to $60,000 with intervals of $50 for all the following statuses:
Taxable Income      Single        Married Joint or Qualifying Widow(er)     Married Separate    Head of a House
50000               8688        6665                                              8688                   7353
50050              8700         6673                                              8700                   7365
...
59950              11175       8158                                              11175                 9840
60000              11188       8165                                              11188                 9853

Hint: round the tax into integers using Math.round (i.e., Math .round(computeTax(status, taxableIncome)).
