identify is his group is performing well. For example, his team composes of 9 members and the CAO
wants to evaluate their performance according to criteria through this table:

PERFORMANCE RATING
SYSTEM
VERY SATISFACTORY
SATISFACTORY
AVERAGE
NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
POOR

10
9
7-8
4-6
0-3

After the evaluation process, the ratings of the members are:

MEMBER

RATING

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9

9
10

= X/ N
where: X = summation or total of the ratings;
N = total number of members of the CAOs team

9+10+4+3+6+8+10+9+3

5. What is the best way to present the increase of tax payment from 2000 up to present?

Graph 1:
SALARY TAX PAYMENT
for the year 2000 up to present
114000
112000

113000

110000

108500

108000
106000

104000

104000
102000
100000
98000
Jan 1, 2000 to July 5, 2008

July 6, 2008 to Dec 31, 2008

Jan 1, 2009 up to present

Graph 1 shows that there is a decrease of salary tax payment of an employee, single
and without qualified dependent, who earns P480,000.00 annually from the period January 1,
2000 up to present. The employees withholding tax per year was P113,000.00 from Jan 1,
2000 to July 5, 2008. It decreased by P4,500.00 from the period July 6, 2008 to December 31,
2008. And from January 1, 2009 up to the present, his salary tax payment continued to
decline by another P4,500.00.
The salary tax payment from the three periods performed a continued decrease and
may actually advantageous to the employee but not beneficial to the government.
