Part $1-$ Corporation

On April $1,2023,$ a corporation with a December $31$ taxation year purchased a three$-$year investment certificate for $$20,000.$ The

certificate pays interest only at the end of the three$-$year term but the interest is compounded annually at the rate of $8\%.$ Currently, the

corporation's marginal tax rate is $28\%.$ However, in $2024,$ the marginal tax rate will decrease to $23\%.$

Part $2$ Individual

An individual makes the identical investment on April $1,2023.$ The individual's marginal tax rate in $2023$ is also $28\%$ and is expected to

decrease to $23\%$ in $2024.$

Complete the table below to show the interest income and the tax liability each year for the corporation and the individual. Treat each

calendar year as having $365$ days and ignore the implications of February $29$ in a leap year.
