If you know the "sticker price" of a new motorcar, you can calculate the excise tax by
subtracting the destination charges, dividing the outcome by $1,000 and multiplying that past $24.00.

$25,450 / $1,000 = $25.45
$25.45 ten $24.00 = $610.fourscore

Excise revenue enhancement                           $610.fourscore
Registration fee    $35.00 (varies depending on license plate)
Agent fee                                $half dozen.00
