In determining Mr. C's gross income, add $14, $14, $26 and $19 for a total of $73.
His recognized expenses of employment are:
Federal Tax: $1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = $5

FICA $1 + 1 = $2
TOTAL $7
His $20 plus 1/2 of the next $60 earnings disregard is calculated as follows:
$73 - 20 = $53
$53 ÷ 2 = 26.50 (drop the 50¢)
$20 + 26 = $46 earnings disregard
