Answer:

A. = (15% X $2M) + (21% X $2M) = $720,000. Since there is no mechanism for mitigating double taxation, the branch profit will be taxed on the to tax rate of 15% and 21% which is $300,000 and $420,000.

B. The total tax for $2m branch profit if US corporations can remove foreign based profit from US taxation will be just the 15% x $2m = $300,000.

C.If they are allowed to take deductions for foreign income taxes, the total tax on the $2m branch profit will be (21% -15%) x $2m = $120,000.

Explanation:

D.1. If credit are allowed for foreign income tax paid, total tax will be ($2m - $300,000 been foreign tax paid) x 21% = $357,000

D.2.

If the charge foreign income taxes at 30% and US corporations can claim refundable credit for foreign income tax paid on foreign source income = ($2m - $300,000 been the foreign income tax paid) = $1 700,000 x 30% = $510,000

Answer:

B. Herbania is technologically superior to Duckistan in producing civilian goods.

Explanation:

Duckistan Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    20  18   14    8    0

Military Goods     0     1    2     3    4

opportunity cost  -     ¹/₁₈  ¹/₇  ³/₈   4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  20  18   7   2.7   -     military goods

Herbania Production Possibilities

                            A    B    C    D    E

Civilian Goods    40  36  26   14   0

Military Goods     0    1     2     3    4

opportunity cost  -    ¹/₃₆  ¹/₁₃  ³/₁₄  4     civilian goods

opportunity cost  40 36   13  4.7   -     military goods

Herbania has an absolute advantage in the production of civilian goods. Since it also has a lower opportunity cost of producing civilian goods, therefore, it also has a comparative advantage at producing civilian goods. Assuming that resources are equal in both countries, then we can assume that Herbania is technologically superior in the production of civilian goods.

Dukistan has a lower opportunity cost of producing military goods, therefore, it has a comparative advantage at producing military goods.
