You have decided to invest $15,000 in a money market fund that pays you interest at the annual rate of 6% and compounds interests monthly. Your plan is to take out your money in a year and pay taxes on the interest earned. If the corresponding tax rate is 20%, how much money in total will you expect to receive in a year after paying taxes.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

$15,869.66

Explanation:

The formula for determining the future value of the amount invested is :

FV = PV x (1 + r / m)^mn

FV = Future value  

PV = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

$15,000 x (1+ 0.06/12)^12 = $15,925.17

Interest earned = future value - present value

$15,925.17 - $15,000 = $925.17

Tax paid on interest earned = 0.06 x  $925.17 = $55.51

Interest after taxes = $925.17 - $55.51 = $869.66

Total amount expected = $15,000 + $869.66 = $15,869.66

Answers

Answer:

$71,000

Explanation:

Note: The MARCS Table is attached below

Depreciation for 2020 = Cost*Rate%

Depreciation for 2020 = $355000*20%

Depreciation for 2020 = $71,000.

Note: MACRS depreciation disregards the salvage value and depreciates the asset to zero over the life of the asset.

Emilio’s accountant told him that if he continues to pay $50 a month on his credit card, it will take him 42 years to pay off his current balance (assuming the interest rate doesn’t change and assuming he doesn’t charge anything else on that card). His credit card interest rate is 18.99%. What is his balance?

Answers

Answer:

$3,158.40  

Explanation:

The current balance on his credit card is the present value of $50 payable per month over 42-year period as shown below:

PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r

PV=the unknown

montly paymet=$50

r=monthly interest rate= 18.99%/12=0.015825

n=number of monthly payments=42*12=504

PV=$50*(1-(1+0.015825)^-504/0.015825

PV=$50*(1-(1.015825)^-504/0.015825

PV=$50*(1-0.000365827)/0.015825

PV=$50*0.999634173/0.015825

PV=$3,158.40

Don James purchased a new automobile for $21,000. Don made a cash down payment of $5,250 and agreed to pay the remaining balance in 30 monthly installments, beginning one month from the date of purchase. Financing is available at a 24% annual interest rate.

Required:
Calculate the amount of the required monthly payment.

Answers

Answer:

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Explanation:

given data

Cost of auto = $21000

Cash Down payment = $5250

Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250

loan amount = $15,750

time period  = 30 monthly

Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm

solution

we get here monthly payment that is express as

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]      ...................1

put here value and we get

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]

solve it we get

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company by selling the company to the government.
True
False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Patent can be defined as the exclusive or sole right granted to an inventor by a sovereign authority such as a government, which enables him or her to manufacture, use, or sell an invention for a specific period of time.

Generally, patents are used on innovation for products that are manufactured through the application of various technologies.

Basically, the three (3) main ways to protect an intellectual property is to employ the use of trademarks, copyright and patents.

In this scenario, Because your patented Gidgit is starting to gain attention and investors are starting to show interest, the executive committee is considering becoming a publicly held company.

Since Gidgit is patented it cannot be sold to the government because it is a registered intellectual property that cannot be used or sold without the approval or consent of the owner.

3. You are considering investing in a startup company called Minions Technologies. After careful analysis, you determine that Minions will be able to generate $100,000 in cash flow at the end of each year for the first 5 years. Then, Minions will generate cash flow of $400,000 at the end of the 6th year, after which it will grow at 11% per year forever. Using a discount rate of 18%, what is the amount you would be willing to invest

Answers

Answer:

$2,810,467

Explanation:

we need to determine the enterprise value of Minions Technologies

first, the terminal value at year 5 = $400,000 / (18% - 11%) = $5,714,286

then we must find the present value of all future cash flows, including the terminal value

PV of 5 five cash flows = $100,000 x 3.127 (PV annuity factor, 18%, 5 periods) = $312,700

PV of terminal value = $5,714,286 / 1.18⁵ = $2,497,767

total enterprise value = $2,810,467

how to journalize this?

Answers

When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:

The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.

The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.

The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.

For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):

1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:

Group of answer choices $57,360 $57,059 $64,160 $64,160

Answers

Answer:

Total profit for week = $57360

Explanation:

To calculate the profit for one-week period, we first need to calculate the revenue for one week period based on the given occupancy.

We will first calculate the revenue for every day and add it to calculate the revenue for the week.

Sunday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Monday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Tuesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Wednesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Thursday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Friday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Saturday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Total revenue for one week = 12960 * 5 + 9680 * 2  => $84160

To calculate the profit, we will first calculate the total cost.

Total cost = 20000 + (5 * 200 * 5 + 5 * 180 * 2)

Total cost = $26800

Total profit for week = 84160 - 26800

Total profit for week = $57360

Explanation:

The computation of the gain is shown below;

But before that following calculations must be done

Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method

= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)

= $64,980

Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is

= $64,980 × 9 years

= $584,820

Now the book value is

= $690,000 - $584,820

= $105,180

Now the gain is

= Sale value - book value

= $160,000 - $105,180

= $54,820

Lincoln Company purchased merchandise from Grandville Corp. on September 30, 2021. Payment was made in the form of a noninterest-bearing note requiring Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400 on each September 30, beginning on September 30, 2024. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.) Required: Calculate the amount at which Lincoln should record the note payable and corresponding purchases on September 30, 2021, assuming that an interest rate of 9% properly reflects the time value of money in this situation.

Answers

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

Mohawk Machining, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records: Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000 Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400 Units started and completed during the period: 6,500 On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:_____.
A- 80%.
B- 70%.
C- 60%. - 40%.
D- some other percentage not listed above.

Answers

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.
