Answer:
A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 48000 after tax cash flow
Explanation:
a. lets assume marginal tax rate is X%
After tax cash flow of 80000 should equal to 60000$
$80000 - [$80000*X%] = 60000$
80000*X% = 80000-60000
80000*X% =20000
X = 20000/80000
= 25%
b.
$80000 - [$80000*50%*x%] = 60000$
40000*x%=20000
x%=50%
c.
$80000- [$80000*x] = 60000 - [60000*50%*x]
80000-60000 = [80000*x] - [30000*x]
20000 = 50000x
x=40%
check
80000-40% =48000 after tax cash flow
60000*50%
=60000- [60000*50%*40%]
=48000 after tax cash flow

<span>Heavy speculation is a bad idea in any market since it has a tendency to inflate prices to unrealistic levels. That is basically what many investors prior to the Great Depression did when they thought the market would keep going higher and higher. They borrowed money, sold their houses, etc.. to buy into the stock market thanks to that kind of speculation without even considering the underlying reasons for why the market is there in the first place.</span>
