From the given description, Chip is using an experimental design called (A) matching. 
Matching <u>is a type of experimental design where the researcher divide his or her samples into two groups of treatment conditions, which serves to ensure that before the treatment, both groups have the samples with the same characteristics, thus ensuring that the results of the experiment would not be influenced by any confounding variables that the samples have.</u> 
Chip is doing this to ensure that samples that have been influenced by other variables which determine their decision to hire are distributed evenly in both the experimental and control group. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
A. = (15% X $2M) + (21% X $2M) = $720,000. Since there is no mechanism for mitigating double taxation, the branch profit will be taxed on the to tax rate of 15% and 21% which is $300,000 and $420,000.
B. The total tax for $2m branch profit if US corporations can remove foreign based profit from US taxation will be just the 15% x $2m = $300,000.
C.If they are allowed to take deductions for foreign income taxes, the total tax on the $2m branch profit will be (21% -15%) x $2m = $120,000.

D.2.
If the charge foreign income taxes at 30% and US corporations can claim refundable credit for foreign income tax paid on foreign source income = ($2m - $300,000 been the foreign income tax paid) = $1 700,000 x 30% = $510,000
