Answer and Explanation:
Two tax planning variables that increase investment include:
Time period variable; this variable considers when the transaction occurs during the year and tax is calculated based on this. The present value of tax cost reduces tax cost as tax is not collected immediately but is deferred.
Character variable: this variable considers the nature of the transaction and then taxes based on this, such as income from capital gain when an asset is sold, is taxed differently using a different rate from tax on operating income
