At the beginning of the year, Mr. Lanier put $50,000 cash into Investment X. At the end of the year, he received a check for $2,800, representing his annual return on the investment. Mr. Lanier's marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 37 percent. However, his return on Investment X is a capital gain taxed at 20 percent.

Required: a. Considering the fact that Mr. Lanier could have invested in Business Z, how much implicit tax did he pay with respect to Investment X? b. Did Mr. Lanier make the correct decision by putting his $50,000 into Investment X instead of Business Z?
