Answer:
Jana just found out that she is going to receive an end-of-year bonus of $32,200. She is in the 35 percent marginal tax bracket. Calculate her income tax on this bonus.
- tax liability = $32,200 x 35% = $11,270
Now assume that instead of receiving a bonus, Jana receives the $32,200 as a long-term capital gain. What will be her tax?
- tax liability = $32,200 x 15% = $4,830
Which form of compensation offers Jana the best after-tax return?
- if the bonus is taxed as a long term capital gain, she will páy less than half the taxes, so it is the best option for her
Would your calculation be different if the gain was short-term rather than long-term?
- Short term capital gains are taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, so the difference between the bonus being a long vs short term capital gain is very significant to Jana.

Opportunity cost of television for Japan = 
Opportunity cost of television for Korea = 
Hi there! There is no 100% safest option when storing money. It depends on the amount, and specific options. For example : personal safe/ vault in secured and well protected home. Another example would be a bank, with low security. I believe it is circumstantial. I think it is best to have a secured personal house/ building with high security. Hope this helps! : )
