6) Steven James earned $150,000 this year in profits from his proprietorship, which placed him in a 45%

On the next $50,000 40%
On the next $60,000 45%
On income over $200,000 50%




(All rates are assumed for this question.)

Steven withdraws $3,000 per month for his personal living expenses. All remaining profits are used to
pay taxes and to expand the business. Steven expects the same business after-tax profits next year.

Steven is considering incorporating his business next year. If he incorporates, he will pay himself a
gross salary of $48,000.

Required:
