Mr. Dunn, who has a 32 percent marginal rate on ordinary income and a 15 percent marginal rate on adjusted net capital gain, recognized a $15,000 capital loss in 2020. Compute the tax savings from this loss assuming that: Use Individual tax rate schedules. He also recognized an $18,000 short-term capital gain. He also recognized an $18,000 long-term capital gain. He also recognized an $18,000 28 percent rate gain. He recognized no capital gain in 2019 and doesn’t expect to recognize capital gain in 2020 through 2023. Mr. Dunn uses a 5 percent discount rate to compute NPV.

Total marketing effort is a term used to describe the critical decision factors that affect demand: price, advertising, distribution, and product quality. define the variable x to represent total marketing effort. a typical model that is used to predict demand as a function of total marketing effort is based on the power function: d = axb suppose that a is a positive number. different model forms result from varying the constant b. sketch the graphs of this model for b = 0, b = 1, 0< b< 1, b< 0, and b> 1. (we encourage you to use excel to do this.) what does each model tell you about the relationship between demand and marketing effort? what assumptions are implied? are they reasonable? how would you go about selecting the appropriate model?
