Boeing is considering opening a plant in one of two
neighboring states, Oregon or California.
Let’s just say, California has a corporate tax rate of 15%. If
operated in this state, the plant is expected to generate
$1,200,000 pretax profit.
In Oregon state has a corporate tax rate of 5% and operation
in Oregon 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? ( Please pay more attention on
this question)
Thank you!
