Part II
Answer:
The persons I would give the business plan to are:
- An angel investor who I met on LinkedIn who supports small businesses and start-ups
- My banker of over 20 years
- I would give the business plan to my family members because they are the easiest people to raise funds from and also because family, can decide to contribute in cash or in-kind with no interest required.
- I would give the business plan to an angel investor because their funds are cheaper than those of the banks though a little more difficult to come by
- Banks always have the funds but the funds come at a higher cost than the first two.

Answer:
- Tax liability = $24,222.50
- Marginal rate = 24%
- Average rate = 19.35%
Explanation:
Question requires that we find the Tax liability, Marginal rate and Average rate.
Tax liability:
Chandler is in the $84,200 to $160,725 bracket.
= 14,382.50 + 24% * (125,200 - 84,200)
= 14,382.50 + 9,840
= $24,222.50
Marginal rate = 24%
Chandler's bracket is the 24% bracket.
Average rate:
= Tax/ Taxable income
= 24,222.50 / 125,200
= 19.35%
