Veronica is self employed. In one year, Veronica generates a gross income of $65,500. When calculating her taxes, Veronica is allowed to deduct up to $2,500 in expenses from her gross income (to give the 'operating income'), but if her expenses exceed $2,500 then any surplus must be deducted against her income after tax. In this calendar year, Veronica's total expenses were $5,500. The tax system is such that she must pay 15% tax on any operating income up to $25,000 and then 30% on any operating income over $25,000. Calculate Veronica's net profit, that is, the amount she earns after all taxes and expenses.
