1.) Suppose the following data holds:
In 2004, John and Marcy owned a small business which was held as a proprietorship in Marcy's name. They were thinking of incorporating if that would lower their total tax liability. They expected the company to earn $120,000 before next taxes next year. They planned to take out a salary of $50,000, and to reinvest the rest in the business. Their personal deductions total $20,000, and if they choose not to incorporate they will file a joint return. (See the tables below.)
Individual Tax rates for 2004 -- Married Taxpayers Filing Joint Returns

$ 0 - $ 14,300 $ 0.00 + 10% $ 0
14,301 - 58,100 1,430.00 15% 14,300
58,101 - 117,250 8,000.00 25% 58,100
Corporate Tax rates for 2004
Taxable Income Bracket Base Tax Amount Plus This Percent of the Amount Over
$ 0 - $ 50,000 $ 0.00 + 15% $ 0
