Boeing Is Considering Opening a Plant in One of Two

question 55

Essay

Boeing is considering opening a plant in one of two neighboring states. One state has a corporate tax rate of 15 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,200,000 pretax profit. The other state has a corporate tax rate of 5 percent. If operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate $1,085,000 of pretax profit. Which state should Boeing choose based upon tax considerations only? Why do you think the plant in the state with a lower tax rate would produce a lower pretax income?
