Solution :
Given :
The bonds offer a 
of 4.5% per year
Tax rate = 10% = 0.10
Inflation rate = 2
= + 
= 2 + 4.5
= 6.5
= 
= 
= 5.85
After tax real interest rate = 
-
= 5.85 - 2.0
= 3.85
= 7.0
= +
= 7 + 4.5
= 11.5
= 
= 10.35
= 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)
= 11.5 x 0.90
= 10.35
= -
= 10.35 - 7.0
= 3.35
Putting all the value in table :
Real interest Nominal interest After tax nominal After tax
rate rate interest rate interest rate
2.0 4.5 6.5 5.85 3.85
7.0 4.5 11.5 10.35 3.35
Comparing with the 
, a 
will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "E": To a large extent, the decision to dissolve a firm through liquidation versus keeping it alive through reorganization depends on a determination of the value of the firm if it is rehabilitated versus the value of its assets if they are sold off individually.
Explanation:
Liquidation refers to the termination of an enterprise and the transfer of its properties to the creditor or business owners. The liquidation most frequently happens in the context of a bankruptcy. A bankruptcy trustee must sell the company properties to the creditors and split the proceeds.
<em>The decision of keeping a business against liquidating it will depend on the comparison between the value of continuing operating which relies on the current value the firm has in the market against the value of the individual assets the firm has. Whichever greater will determine if the business will remain open or if it will be closed.</em>
