Answer to Problem 20QP

The Personal Tax Rate is 35%.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the personal tax rate

If the dividends are not taxed, then the personal tax rate must be equivalent to the corporate tax rate of 35%. Here the total return is identical in both the scenarios of company paying dividends or investing in a treasury bonds. Alternatively we determine the personal tax rate using formula by assuming the personal tax rate as x,

[AdditionalCash×(1x)(1+YieldTBill×(1x))]=[(1x)×(AdditionalCash×(1+YieldTBill×(1CoporateTax)))][$1,000×(1x)×(1+8%×(1x))]=[(1x)×($1,000×(1+8%×(135%)))][1+0.08×(1x)]=[1+0.08×(10.35)]0.08×(1x)=0.08×(10.35)0.08×(1x)=0.0521x=[0.0520.08]x=[10.65]=0.35or35%

Therefore the personal tax rate is 35%
