Answer 1

Question 13

a. Marginal tax rate is 25 percent

b. Marginal tax rate is 50 percent

c. Marginal tax rate is 40 percent

Please find the Explanation in attached images:

Expenditure I Expenditure 2 $80,000 $60,000 Cas a - The after are same Expenditure 1 is fully deductible Gripenditure 2 is not deductible two cash flows from two expenditure Let us assume tax rate be "T => 80,000 X (1-1) = 60,000 = I= 0.25 or as1

• Exp 1 Exp 2 is is so percent didutible non deductible Assumphon - Tax Rate =T" -> (80,000x506) + Boco x solix (1-1)] = 60,000 40,000 + 40,000x(1-1) = 60,000 . To os & solat Case c Expenditure Cxpenditure 2 1 is is fully 50% deductible deductible Assumption = Tax Rate -"T". 80,000 x (L-T) = 60,000 x 50| +60,000 sol (-T) => 80,000 (1-0) - 30,000 + 39000 * (1-1) T= 0.4 or 40%

Question 14:

NPV = $20,434

Computation of cash flows:

Cash flows	Year 0	Year 1	Year 2
Taxable revenue	$ 13,000	$ 16,250	$ 23,400
Deductible expense	$ (3,900)	$ (6,000)	$ (8,100)
Taxable income	$    9,100	$ 10,250	$ 15,300
Tax @ 30%	$ (2,730)	$ (3,075)	$ (4,590)
Income after tax	$    6,370	$    7,175	$ 10,710
Non deductible expenses	$     (350)	$ (2,000)	$           -
Cashflows after tax	$    6,020	$    5,175	$ 10,710

Computation of NPV

Year	Cash flows after tax	Discounting factor @ 6%	Present value of Cash flows after tax
0	$                          6,020	1.000	$                               6,020
1	$                          5,175	0.943	$                               4,882
2	$                        10,710	0.890	$                               9,532
NPV			$                             20,434
