c. Congress has recently enacted a decrease in corporate tax rates that will take effect at the beginning of next year. Grant Company, a cash basis taxpayer, is planning to pay expenses prior to year-end in order to maximize its tax savings in the current year.
d. Will has $50,000 to invest in the stock market. He is considering two alternatives. Stock A pays annual qualifying dividends of 6 percent.

Will’s marginal tax rate on ordinary income is 35 percent.
