You purchased shares of stock one year ago at a price of $64.24 per share.
during the year, you received dividend payments of $2.11 and sold the stock for $71.36 per share.

if the inflation rate during the year was 2.75 percent, what was your real return?

The 39 percent and 38 percent tax rates both represent what is called a tax "bubble." suppose the government wanted to lower the upper threshold of the 39 percent marginal tax bracket from $335,000 to $208,000. what would the new 39 percent bubble rate have to be? (do not round intermediate calculations. enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places,e.g., 32.16.)
