Answer:
$34,264
Explanation:
Given :
Taxable income = $192,100
The 2020 federal tax bracket for 2020 is given thus for married and filing jointly for return :
If taxable income falls within the bracket : ($171,051 to $326,600)
$29,211 plus 24% of the amount over $171,050
Hence, this applies to Ethan and Amy's taxable income of $192,100 ;
There taxable income is :
$29,211 + 24% of $(192,100 - 171,050)
$29,211 + (0.24 * $21,050)
$29,211 + $5,052
= $34,264

Given the following data: Treasury Bill Maturity DTM Bid Asked Mar 90 1.20 1.15 If you invest $10,000 today at the risk-free rate, how much will you receive in 90 days
Answer: $10029
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, if $10000 is invested today at the risk-free rate, the amount that'll be received in 90 days will be calculated thus:
= Investment × (1 + Asked) × (DTM/360)
= 10000 + (1 + 0.0115) × (90/360)
= 10000 + 1.011 × 0.25
= 10029
Therefore, the answer is $10029
Suppose that the production function is y= 9k^0.5 N^0.5. With this production function, the marginal product of labor is MPN= 4.5K^0.5 N^-0.5. The capital stock is K= 25. The labor supply curve is NS= 100[(1-t)w]^2, where w is the real wage rate, t is the tax rate on labor income, and hence (1-t)w is the after-tax real wage rate.
Required:
a. Assume that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals zero. Find the equation of the labor demand curve. Calculate the equilibrium levels of the real wage and employ- ment, the level of full-employment output, and the total after-tax wage income of workers.
b. Repeat part (a) under the assumption that the tax rate on labor income, t, equals 0.6.
Answer:
A) i) w/P = MPN , ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) w = 1.5 , N = 225,
iii) y = 675 ,
iv) 337.5
B) i) ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2
ii) w = 2.372 , N = 90
iii) y = 426.91
iv) 85.839
Explanation:
Given data :
Production function ( y ) = 9k^0.5 N^0.5
MPN = 4.5k^0.5N^-0.5
capital stock ( K ) = 25
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
assume P = 1
a) Determine
i) equation of labor demand curve = w/P = MPN
where; w = 22.5 N^-0.5 , N=506.25/(w^2)
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[ (1-t) w]^2
ii) equilibrium levels of real wage and employment
506.25/(w^2) = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ( equilibrium condition )
w ( equilibrium level of real wage ) = 1.5
equilibrium level of employment = 100[(1-t)w]^2 ; where t = 0 , w = 1.5
= 100 ( 1 * 1.5 )^2
N = 225
iii) level of full-employment y = 9k^0.5 N^0.5 ; where N = 225 , k = 25
= 9(25)^0.5 * (225)^0.5
y = 675
iv) Total after-tax wage income of workers
= w*N = ( 225 * 1.5 ) = 337.5
B) assuming t = 0.6
i) equation of labor demand curve
labor supply curve ( NS ) = 100[(1-0.6)w]^2 = 16 w^2
ii) equilibrium levels ; 16w^2 = 506.25/(w^2).
w( equilibrium real wage ) = 2.372
Equilibrium employment ( N )= 16 * ( 2.372 )^2 =90
iii) level of full employment y = 9k^0.5 * 90^0.5
= 9(25)^0.5 * 90^0.5 = 426.91
iv) Total after tax wage/income of workers
= (1-0.6)*2.372*90 = 85.839

with net income or net loss, along with deduction or additions to the amount for non-cash revenue and expense items or from them which comes subsequently, which then results to cash flow from operating activities.
The cost of preferred stock is different from the cost of _____ because there is no maturity date on which principal must be paid.
Answer:
debt
Explanation:
One of the cheapest source used by organizations to finance their businesses after financing a debt they incurred is preferred stock.
Cost of preferred stock can be defined as the rate or price that a company pays their investors in return for the income generated through the issuance and sales of its stocks.
Generally, the cost of preferred stock is different from the cost of debt because there is no maturity date on which principal must be paid by the company to the investors.
You are now 20 years of age and decide to save $100 at the end of each month until you are 65. If the interest rate is 9.2%, how much money will you have when you are 65?
Answer:
FV= $804,326.91
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Monthly deposit (A)= $100
Interest rate (i)= 0.092/12= 0.0077
Number of periods= 45*12= 540 months
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
FV= {100*[(1.0077^540) - 1]} / 0.0077
FV= $804,326.91

Cal Lury owes $21,000 now. A lender will carry the debt for five more years at 6 percent interest. That is, in this particular case, the amount owed will go up by 6 percent per year for five years. The lender then will require that Cal pay off the loan over the next 13 years at 9 percent interest. What will his annual payment be
Answer:
$3,753.59
Explanation:
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $21,000 * (1 + 6%)^5
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $21,000 * 1.3382255776
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $28102.7371296
Value of debt at end of 5 years = $28,102.74
Let x be the annual payments:
x*[1 - (1 + 9%)^-13] / 9% = $28,102.74
x * [1-0.32617864688] / 0.09 = $28,102.74
x * 7.486904 = $28,102.74
x = $28,102.74 / 7.486904
x = 3753.58626
x = $3,753.59

You sell 25,000 loaf of bread per year. The carrying cost associated the main ingredient wheat flour is estimated to be $8 per unit (amount used for 1 loaf of bread) per year, and the ordering cost is $10 per order. And assume 1 year is 300 days and lead time is 3 days.
Required:
a. What is the EOQ?
b. How much money you will lose if you order 300 units of wheat flour? Calculate the total cost of inventory with EOQ model and with order size is 300. The difference will give you the answer.
c. Calculate the re-order point (assuming no uncertainty)?
Answer:
Annual Demand (D) = 25000
Carrying Cost (H) = 8
Ordering Costs (S) = 10
Number of working days = 300
Lead Time (Lt) = 3 days
a. EOQ = Sqrt (2*D*S/H)
EOQ = Sqrt (2*25000*10/8)
EOQ = Sqrt (62500)
EOQ = 250
b. Total Cost = (D * S) / EOQ + (EOQ * H) / 2
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 250 + (250 * 8) / 2
Total Cost = 1000 + 1000
Total Cost = 2000
Now, we calculate total Cost with order size: of 300
Total Cost = (25000 * 10) / 300 + (300 * 8) / 2
Total Costs = 833.3333 + 1200
Total Cost = 2,033.3333
The amount to lost if we order 300 units of wheat flour is as follows
= 2033.33 - 2000
= $33.33
3. ROP = (D / Number of working days) x Lt
ROP = (25000 / 300) * 3
ROP = 83.3333 * 3
ROP = 249.9999
ROP = 250

A zero-coupon bond is a security that pays no interest, and is therefore bought at a substantial discount from its face value. If stated interest rates are 5% annually (with monthly compounding) how much would you pay today for a zero-coupon bond with a face value of $1,900 that matures in 8 years
Answer:
Zero-cupon bond= $1,286
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Interest rate= 5%
Face value= $1,900
Years to maturity= 8 years
To calculate the value of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Zero-cupon bond= [face value/(1+i)^n]
Zero-cupon bond= [1,900 / (1.05)^8]
Zero-cupon bond= $1,286

Miracle Clean's variable costs are $3.00 per bottle and Fixed Expenses are $350,000 per year. The company currently sells 150,000 bottles for $6.50 which results in profit of $175,000. The company is considering raising the selling price to $7.00 per bottle which is expected to decrease sales by 20%. If the price is raised, the number of units that must be sold to keep the profits unchanged is
Answer:
131,250= number of units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We need to calculate the number of units to be sold to maintain a profit of $175,000.
Unitary variable cost= $3
Fixed expenses= $350,000
Selling price= $7
Net income= total contribution margin - fixed cost
175,000= number of units*(7 - 3) - 350,000
525,000 = number of units*4
525,000 / 4= number of units
131,250= number of units

Ramble On Co. wishes to maintain a growth rate of 13.6 percent per year, a debt-equity ratio of 1.8, and a dividend payout ratio of 30 percent. The ratio of total assets to sales is constant at .98. What profit margin must the firm achieve
Answer: 5.99%
Explanation:
Based on the question,
Dividend payout ratio = 30%
Therefore, the retention ratio will be:
= 1 - 30%
= 70%
Growth rate = 13.6%
We'll the use the sustainable growth rate formula which will be:
0.136 = (ROE x 0.7)/ (1-(ROE x 0.7))
0.136(1 - (0.7ROE)) = 0.7ROE
ROE = 0.136/0.7952
ROE = 0.171026
Then, the Profit margin will be:
ROE = Profit Margin x Asset Turnover x Equity multiplier
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x (1 + 1.8)
0.171026 = PM x (1/0.98) x 2.8
PM = 0.171026 x 0.98/2.8
PM = 0.0598591
Profit margin = 5.99%
If a company is overly optimistic about debt collection, the company will understate bad debt expense and:
Answer:
overstate net income but days to collect will increase.
Explanation:
A bad debt expense is defined when any receivable is no more collectible as the customer is not able to fulfil or satisfy the obligation in order to pay the obligation of paying an outstanding debt because of some financial problems or due to bankruptcy.
Thus when any organization is more optimistic about the debt collection, it will understate the bad debt expenses and will also overstate the net income. But in this case the number of days to collect the payment increases.

b. Does the change in the fixed asset turnover ratio from 20Y4 to 20Y5 indicate a favorable or an unfavorable change?
Answer:
20Y5 = 2.4
20Y4 = 1.5
It is favourable
Explanation:
Fixed asset turnover = revenue / average net fixed assets
Average fixed asset =( fixed asset at the beginning of year + fixed asset at the end of year) / 2
20y5 = (720,000 + 760,000) / 2 = 740,000
20y4 = (720,000 + 640000) / 2 = 680,000
Fixed asset turnover = $1,776,000 / 740,000 = 2.4
$1,020,000 / 680,000 = 1.5
the higher the ratio, the better for a firm. it means that less fixed asset is generating higher revenues
Lucy has decided to save for a vacation in 18 months. She will save the money into a short-term investment account returning 4% annually. How much will she have to put away at the beginning of each month if the vacation cost is $15,000
Answer:
Monthly deposit= $810.20
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods (n)= 18 months
Interest rate (i)= 0.04/12= 0.0033
Future value (FV)= $15,000
To calculate the monthly deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (15,000*0.0033) / [(1.0033^18) - 1]
A= $810.20

Wild Flowers Express has a debt-equity ratio of .60. The pretax cost of debt is 9 percent while the unlevered cost of capital is 14 percent. What is the cost of equity if the tax rate is 23 percent
Answer:
0.1631 ; 16.31%
Explanation:
Given:
Cost of capital = 14% = 0.14
Debt to equity ratio = 60% = 0.6
Cost of debt = 9% = 0.09
Tax rate = 23% = 0.23
Cost of equity : cost of capital + debt - to - equity ratio * (1 - tax rate) * (cost of capital - cost of debt)
Cost of equity = 0.14 + 0.60 × (1 - 0.23) × (0.14 - .09)
Cost of equity :
0.14 + 0.60 * 0.77 * 0.05
0.14 + 0.0231
= 0.1631 ; 0.1631 * 100% = 16.31%
