Jose has the opportunity to invest in a scheme which will pay $5000 at the end of each of the next 5 years. He must invest $10,000 at the start of the first year and an additional $10,000 at the end of the first year. What is the present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8%?
Answer: $19963.6
Explanation:
The present value of this investment if the interest rate is 8% would be gotten by using the formula below;
PV = PMT/[r × (1+r)^n / (1+r)^n -1]
PV = 5000[8% × (1+8%)^5 / (1+8%)^5-1
PV = 5000[0.08 + 1.08^5 / 1.08^4
PV = 19963.6
Therefore, the present value of the investment is 19963.6
In the current year, Tanager Corporation (a calendar year C corporation) had operating income of $480,000 and operating expenses of $390,000. In addition, Tanager had a long-term capital gain of $55,000 and a short-term capital loss of $40,000. a. Compute Tanager's taxable income and tax for the year.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Tanager's taxable income would be calculated as:
= Operating income - Operating expense + Long term gain + Short term loss
= $480,000 - $390,000 + $55,000 - $40,000
= $105,000
Tanager's tax for the year will be:
= $105,000 × 21%
= $105,000 × 0.21
= $22,050

2. Firm A has a 15 percent marginal tax rate and Firm Z has a 35 percent marginal tax rate. Firm A owns a controlling interest in Firm Z. The owners of Firm A decide to incur a $40,000 deductible expense that will benefit both firms. Compute the after-tax cost of the expense assuming that: a) Firm A incurs the expense.
Answer: $34000
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Firm A has a 15 percent marginal tax rate. Based on the information given, the after tax cost that Firm A will incur will be:
= $40000 - ($40000 × 15%)
= $40000 - ($40000 × 0.15)
= $40000 - $6000
= $34000
the discount rate refers to which tool of monetary policy?
A. The ability to buy and sell treasury securities on an open market.
B. The ability to require banks to hold a certain amount of money in reserve.
C. The ability to adjust interest rates for investors who purchase stocks.
D. The ability to change the cost banks have to pay to borrow money.
Answer:
D. The ability to change the cost banks have to pay to borrow money.
Explanation:
Reserve( FED) sets the discount rate and applies it on loans to commercial banks and other institutions. Commercial banks use the discount rate as the basis for determining the interest rate to charge customers for loans issued.
The discount rate is among the monetary policy tools available for use by the FED. An increase in the discount rate leads to a rise in commercial banks' loan interest rates, thereby discouraging borrowing. Reduced borrowing reduces the money supply in the economy.
Michael's, Inc., just paid $2.60 to its shareholders as the annual dividend. Simultaneously, the company announced that future dividends will be increasing by 5.6 percent. If you require a rate of return of 9.8 percent, how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Answer:
$65.37
Explanation:
Calculation for how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock
Using this formula
P/0 = D0 ( 1 + g ) / R-g
Let plug in the formula
P/0 = $2.60 (1 + .056) / .098 - .056
P/0 = $2.60 (1 .056)/0.042
P/0=$2.7456/0.042
P/0=$65.37
Therefore how much are you willing to pay today to purchase one share of the company's stock will be $65.37
Two manufacturing firms, located in cities 90 miles apart, both send their trucks four times a week to the other city full of cargo and return empty. Each driver costs $275 per day with benefits (the round trip takes all day) and each firm has truck operating costs of $1.30 a mile. How much could each firm save weekly if each sent its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip
Answer: $1,018
Explanation:
Cities are 90 miles apart so a roundtrip is 180 miles which means that the operating cost per trip is:
= 1.30 * 180
= $234
Total cost per trip = Divers cost + operating cost
= 275 + 234
= $509
Four trips are made per week so total cost is:
= 509 * 4
= $2,036
If each sent its truck twice a week and hauled the other firm's cargo on the return trip then savings would be:
= Cost of 4 trips - cost of 2 trips
= 2,036 - (509 * 2)
= $1,018
Why is it important to select products and services that represent best value for money
Answer:
Too low of a price means you forgo potential profits. The most important factor in product price setting is choosing a price low enough that customers perceive they are getting a good value relative to what your competitors are offering and the prices they are charging -- but yet high enough to generate a profit.
Explanation:
Holly files married filing jointly and reports income of $300,000 ($340,000 AGI - $40,000 itemized deductions) before the deduction for qualified business income. She has no capital gains or dividends included in taxable income. Holly's engineering consulting service generates $20,000 of qualified business income. She paid no wages during the current year. What is Holly's deduction for qualified business income
Answer:
$4,000
Explanation:
The computation of the deduction for qualified business income is shown below:
In this the lower amount should be considered
20% of net income or 20% of qualified business income
20% of $300,000 or 20% of $20,000
So the lower amount is $4,000
hence, the same would be represented as a deduction
The Harris company has 3 options for a new production process. A Labor-Intensive process (A) would cost $350,000 for equipment and $35 for labor and materials for each item produced. A More Automated process (B) costs $970,000 in equipment but has a labor/material cost of $30 per item produced. A Fully Automated process (C) costs $2,510,000 for equipment and $22 per item produced. Based solely on cost, for what range of production should process B be chosen
Answer:
B is more profitable when the production level is higher than 124,000 units, but lower than 192,500
Explanation:
the difference between B and A per unit = $5
the difference in investment = $970,000 - $350,000 = $620,000
B is more profitable when total output is higher than $620,000 / $5 = 124,000 units
the difference between C and A = $8
the difference in investment = $2,510,000 - $970,000 = $1,540,000
C is more profitable when total output is higher than $1,540,000 / $8 = 192,500 units

Case Study: Melanie’s Breakeven Analysis Melanie is considering opening a not-for-profit child care and education center and wants to figure out what her monthly budget would look like. She has come up with the following sets of numbers, which may or may not be realistic in her area. Monthly Fixed Costs $4,000 Number of Children Served 15 Salary and Benefits Costs $7,000 Estimated Food Costs $1,000
Answer:
$800
Explanation:
Calculation for how much would she need to charge per month for tuition in order to break even
Using this formula
Amount to charge to break even=[(Monthly Fixed Costs+Salary and Benefits Costs+Estimated Food Costs)÷Number of Children Served]
Let plug in the formula
Amount to charge to break even=[($4,000+$7,000+$1,000)÷15]
Amount to charge to break even=$12,000/15
Amount to charge to break even=$800 per month
Therefore the amount she would need to charge per month for tuition in order to break even will be $800
Covent Gardens Inc. is considering two financial plans for the coming year. Management expects sales to be $300,000, operating costs to be $265,000, assets to be $200,000, and its tax rate to be 35%. Under Plan A it would use 25% debt and 75% common equity. The interest rate on the debt would be 8.8%, but under a contract with existing bondholders the Times Interest Earned (TIE) ratio would have to be maintained at or above 4.5. Under Plan B, the maximum debt that met the TIE constraint would be employed. Assuming that sales, operating costs, assets, the interest rate, and the tax rate would all remain constant, by how much would the ROE change in response to the change in the capital structure?
Answer:
Assets = $200,000
For Plan A
25% debt = 200,000 * 25% = 50,000
75% equity = 200,000 * 75% = 150,000
The debt will generate 8.8% interest expense. Interest expense = 50,000 * 8.8% = 4,400
Income for the expected project under Plan A
Sales revenue 300,00
Operating cost 265,000
EBIT 35,000
Interest expense 4,400
EBT 30,600
Income tax 10,710
Net income $19,890
Times interest earned = EBIT /interest expense = 35,000 / 4,400 = 7.95. So, it achieve the requirement of 4.5 or above.
ROE for plan A = Net income / Equity = 19,890/150,000 = 0,1326 = 13.26%
Under Plan B
We will take as much debt as we can until Times interest earned = 4.5
EBIT / interest expense = Times interest earned
35,000/Interest expense = 4.5
Interest expense = 35,000/4.5
Interest expense = 7.777,78
Net income = (EBIT - interest) x (1- tax-rate)
Net income = (35,000 - 7,777.78) x (1-35%)
Net income = 17.694,443
Interest expense = Debt * Rate
Debt = Interest expense / Rate
Debt = 7,777.78/0.088
Debt = 88.383,86
Asset = Debt + Equity
200,000 = 88,383.86 + Equity
Equity = 200,000 - 88,383.86 =
Equity = 111,616.14
ROE for Plan B = Net income/ Equity = 17,694.443 / 111,616.14 = 0,15852943 = 15.85%
So, we compare both ROE
Plan A = 13.26%
Plan B = 15.85%
Difference = 2.59%
So therefore, using the Plan B will increase the ROE for 2.59%

Innovation activities are often aimed at making a discovery or commercializing a technology ahead of competition. What are some of the unethical practices that companies could engage in during the innovation process. What are potential long-term consequences of such actions
Answer:
lack of consumer safety
Explanation:
One of the biggest unethical practices that occur during the innovation process is lack of consumer safety. The entire idea of the innovation process is to try and create something truly functional that has not been done before and release it way before any competitor can create a similar product. In this rush to create the product, producers completely ignore many obvious faults that the product may have and/or any dangers it may pose to the consumer as long as the product works as intended.
A couple of generations ago, a relative of John wanted to share her wealth with family members and decided to open a special bank account. The purpose of such financial instrument was to pay out an annuity forever, which would be shared among all family members. Given that the initial deposit was 401,935 dollars and the prevailing interest rate at that time was 5 %, compounded annually, find the value of the annuity this family collects every year. (note: round your answer to the nearest cent, and do not include spaces, currency signs, plus or minus signs, or commas)
Answer: 20097
Explanation:
Based on the information provided, the value of the annuity this family collects every year will be calculated as:
Present value of annuity will be:
= Annual cash flow × Interest rate
= 401,935 × 5%
= 401935 × 5/100
= 401935 × 0.05
= 20096.75
= 20097
The annuity collected every year will be 20097.
Before year-end adjusting entries, Crane Company's account balances at December 31, 2017, for accounts receivable and the related allowance for uncollectible accounts were $1400000 and $75000, respectively. An aging of accounts receivable indicated that $120000 of the December 31 receivables are expected to be uncollectible. The net realizable value of accounts receivable after adjustment is
Answer:
$1,280,000
Explanation:
The net realizable value of accounts receivable after the net adjustment is computed as
= Ending balance in Accounts receivables - Uncollectible ageing accounts receivables
Given that;
Ending balance in Accounts receivables = $1,400,000
Uncollectible ageing accounts receivables = $120,000
Net realizable value of the accounts receivables after the net adjustment = $1400,000 - $120,000
= $1,280,000
