Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 22AP
For each of the following scenarios, indicate which of the four basic tax planning variables (entity, character, time period, jurisdiction) impacts after-tax value. Note that more than one variable may apply to any scenario; identify all that are relevant.
- a. Aloha Corporation is considering building a new manufacturing facility in either State U or State P. State U has a 10 percent state income tax rate. State P has a 15 percent state income tax rate but offers a tax holiday for new business investment that would exempt up to $250,000 of Aloha’s earnings from state income tax for the first five years of operations in State P.
- b. Mary wishes to help her nephew, Gill, pay his college tuition. Instead of giving Gill cash, Mary gives him bonds earning $10,000 annual interest income. Mary’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent, and Gill’s marginal tax rate is 12 percent.
- c. Congress has recently enacted a decrease in corporate tax rates that will take effect at the beginning of next year. Grant Company, a cash basis taxpayer, is planning to pay expenses prior to year-end in order to maximize its tax savings in the current year.
- d. Will has $50,000 to invest in the stock market. He is considering two alternatives. Stock A pays annual qualifying dividends of 6 percent. Stock B pays no dividends but is expected to increase in value at a rate of 5 percent per year. Will would hold either investment for a minimum of four years. Will’s marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 35 percent.

A division of Midland Oil & Gas has a taxable income (TI) of $8.85 million for a tax year. If the state tax rate averages 6% for all states in
which the corporation operates, find the equivalent after-tax rate of return (ROR) required of projects that are justified only if they can
demonstrate a before-tax return of 22% per year. Use the table given below to calculate taxes, the average tax rate Te and after-tax
ROR.

- Jurisdiction B’s tax system consists of a 6.5 percent general sales tax on retail goods and selected services. Over the past decade, the average annual volume of sales subject to this tax was $1,100 million. The jurisdiction needs to increase its tax revenues by approximately $11.0 million each year to finance its spending programs. The taxing authorities are considering two alternatives: a 1 percent increase in the sales tax rate or a new 2 percent tax on the net income of corporations doing business in the jurisdiction. Based on recent economic data, the annual net income subject to the new tax would be $575 million. However, the jurisdiction would have to create a new agency responsible for enforcing and collecting the income tax. The estimated annual cost of the agency is $500,000.
