Ms. Barstow purchased a limited interest in Quinnel Partnership in 2022. Her share of the partnership's 2022 business loss was $5,000. Unfortunately, Ms. Barstow couldn't deduct this loss because she had no passive activity income, so she is carrying it forward into 2023. Quinnel Partnership projects that it will operate at breakeven (no income or loss) for several years. However, Ms. Barstow believes that her partnership interest is a solid long-term investment, and she has no plans to sell it. On January 1, 2023, Ms. Barstow must decide between two new investments that are comparable in terms of risk and liquidity. She could invest $100,000 in TNB Limited Partnership, and her share of the partnership's 2023 business income would be $8,000. Alternatively, she could invest $100,000 in a high-yield bond fund that promises a 10 percent return. (Ms. Barstow would receive $10,000 interest income in 2023.) Use Tax rates for capital gains and qualified dividends. Required: a-1. Compute the after-tax cash flow and after-tax return of investing in TNB Limited Partnership and the high yield bond fund assuming Ms. Barstow has a 24 percent marginal tax rate on ordinary income and is not subject to the Medicare contribution tax. a-2. Which investment generates a higher after-tax return for 2023? b-1. Compute the after-tax cash flow and after-tax return of investing in TNB Limited Partnership and the high yield bond fund assuming Ms. Barstow has a 37 percent marginal tax rate on ordinary income and is subject to the Medicare contribution tax on either the $8,000 partnership income or the $10,000 interest income. b-2.
