Question

New Business is just being formed by 10 investors, each of whom will own 10% of the business. The firm is expected to earn $500,000 before taxes each year. The corporate tax rate is 34% and the personal tax rate for the firm's investors is 35%.

How much additional spendable income will each investor have if the business is organized as a partnership rather than as a corporation?
a. $20,384
b. $20,800
c. $21,225
d. $21,658

Answer 1

Answer:

additional income is $11050  if the business is organized as a partnership rather than as a corporation

Explanation:

given data

investors = 10

own = 10%

earn =  $500000

corporate tax rate = 34%

personal tax rate = 35 %

to find out

How much additional spendable income

solution

we find here first income if formed as corporation in hand  that is

income if formed as corporation = earn × own ( 1 -  corporate tax ) × ( 1 - personal tax )

income if formed as corporation = 500000 × 10% ( 1 - 34% ) × ( 1 - 35% )

income if formed as corporation =$21450

and

income will be taxable if form partnership that is

income if formed partnership = earn × own ( 1 - personal tax )

put here value

income if formed partnership = 500000 × 10% ( 1 - 35% )

income if formed partnership = $32500

so

additional income is $32500 - $21450

additional income is $11050
