corporation, or a C corporation. She used the following assumptions to make her calculations:

SHO pays on Amy's behalf.
b) All entities use the cash method of accounting.
c) If Amy organizes SHO as an S corporation or a C corporation, SHO will pay Amy a $5,000 annual salary (assume the salary is
reasonable for purposes of this problem). For both the S and C corporations, Amy will pay 7.65 percent FICA tax on her salary and
SHO will also pay 7.65 percent FICA tax on Amy's salary (the FICA tax paid by the entity is deductible by the entity).
d) Amy's marginal ordinary income tax rate is 35 percent, and her income tax rate on qualified dividends and net capital gains is 15
percent.
e) Amy's marginal self-employment tax rate is…

- Compute the percentage of total return?arrow_forwardCompute the percentage of total return? General accountingarrow_forwardSuppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $10, the second by $9, the third by $8, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $1. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $3.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and total…arrow_forward
