Question

Hyundai is considering opening a plant in two neighboring states Option 1: One state has a corporate tax rate of 10 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,285,000 pretax profit. Option 2: The other state has a corporate tax rate of 2 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,240,000 of pretax profit. : a. what is the after state taxes profit in the state with the 10% tax rate? After state taxes profit : b. what is the after state taxes profit in the state with the 2% tax rate? After state taxes profit

Explanation / Answer

a.

After state taxes profit = Pretax profit - (Pretax profit * Corporate tax rate)

= 1,285,000 - (1,285,000 * 10%)

= 1,285,000 - 128,500

= 1,156,500

b.

After state taxes profit = Pretax profit - (Pretax profit * Corporate tax rate)

= 1,240,000 - (1,240,000*2%)

= 1,240,000 - 24,800

= 1,215,200
