    b. 23.8%

    Explanation:

    firms pre-tax income that investors receive

    = (1 - corporate tax rate) (1 - personal tax rate)

    = (1 - 34%) (1 - 30%)

    = 46.2%

    firm's per-tax income that investors can spend under the corporate and partnership forms of organisation = 1 - 30%

    = 70%

    the difference in the percentage of the firm's pre-tax income that investors actually receive and can spend under the corporate and partnership forms of organization = 70% - 46.2%

    = 23.8%
