Consider two firms, Alpha, Inc. and Omega Corporation. Both corporations will either make $20 million or lose $10 million every year with equal probability. The firms' profits are perfectly positively correlated. That is, any year Alpha, Inc. earns $20 million, Omega Corporation also makes $20 million, and the same is true of a losing year. Assume that the corporate tax rate is 34%. What are the total expected after-tax profits of both firms when they are two separate firms?
Assume a firm increases its revenue by $148 while increasing its cost of goods sold by $117. How much additional tax will the firm owe if its marginal tax rate is 21%?
