Answer:
The real amount you must deposit each year for 35 years to achieve your goal is $5,359.02
Explanation:
To calculate the real amount we need to calculate the real interest rate as follow
1 + Nominal rate = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation rate )
1 + 9.94% = ( 1 + Real rate ) x ( 1 + 3.2% )
1.0994 = ( 1 + Real rate ) x 1.032
1 + Real rate = 1.0994 / 1.032
1 + Real rate = 1.06531
Real rate = 1.06531 - 1
Real rate = 0.06531
Real rate = 6.531% = 6.53%
We need to calculate the PV of the payment that should be received.
Use the following formula to calculate the present value
PV of Annuity = Annuity payment x ( 1 - ( 1 + Interest rate )^-numbers of annuity payments ) / Interest rate
Where
Annuity Payment = $5,000 per month
Interest rate = 6.53% / 12 = 0.5442%
Numbers pf annuity payments = 20 years x 12 payments per year = 240 payment
PLacing values in the formula
PV of Annuity = $5,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 0.5442% )^-240 ) / 0.5442%
PV of Annuity = $5,000 x 133.80362
PV of Annuity = $669,018.09
Now calculate the amount of deposit required to receive the payment after retirement.
Use the following formula to calculate the real deposit
Future value of annuity = Annuity Payment x ( 1 + Interest rate )^numbers of annuity payments - 1 ) / Interest rate
Where
Future value of annuity = $669,018.09
Interst rate = 6.53%
Numbers of annuity payment = 35 years x 1 payment per year = 35 payments
Annuity payment = Real amount of deposit = ?
Placing values in the formula
$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x ( 1 + 6.53% )^35 - 1 ) / 6.53%
$669,018.09 = Real amount of deposit x 124.83967
Real amount of deposit = $669,018.09 / 124.83967
Real amount of deposit = $5,359.02

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

Two new software projects are proposed to a young, start-up company. The Alpha project will cost $530,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $60,000. The Beta project will cost $170,000 to develop and is expected to have annual net cash flow of $18,000. The company is very concerned about their cash flow. Calculate the payback period for each project. Which project is better from a cash flow standpoint
Answer: See Explanation
Explanation:
The payback period for both projects would be calculated as:
Alpha Project
Cost = $530,000
Annual net cash flow = $60,000
Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow
= $530,000 / $60,000
= 8.83
Beta Project
Cost = $170,000
Annual net cash flow = $18,000
Payback period = Cash / Annual net cash flow
= $170,000 / $18,000
= 9.4
We can see that Alpha Project is better as the payback period is lesser than Beta project

East Bay Semiconductor, Inc., currently a small private company, plans to go public via an initial public offering (IPO) and will issue 10 million shares of stock. It is hoping to sell the shares for an offer price of $25. It hires an investment bank, which suggests that the offer price for the stock should be $20 per share to ensure that all the shares can be easily sold. 5. What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage? Is the investment bank’s incentive to sell the shares aligned with the incentives of East Bay Semi? What trade-off does East Bay Semi face in this decision regarding the issue price? Briefly explain
Answer:
What is the advantage of following the advice of the investment bankers? What is the disadvantage?
Whenever a small company decides to carry out an IPO, the risk of not selling all the stocks exists and it has happened many times before. East Bay's executives probably believe that their company is the next Apple or Microsoft, or any other super huge high tech corporation. But the reality is that it is not. If the IPO goes on and not all the stocks are sold, the stock price will plummet by the end of the trading day.
On the other hand, maybe East Bay in a couple of years will be worth more than Tesla, Amazon or any other top corporation, and pricing their stocks too low will only result in losing money.
Actually, no two analysts in the world ever agree on the exact intrinsic price of stocks. Even though math should be the same and they all use the same formulas, several factors are considered differently.

A foundry is developing a long-range strategic plan for buying scrap metal for its operations. The foundrycan buy scrap metal in unlimited quantity from two sources: Atlanta and Birmingham, and it receives thescrap daily by railroad cars.The scrap is melted down, and lead and copper are extracted. Each railroad car from Atlanta yields 1 ton ofcopper and 1 ton of lead, and costs $10,000. Each railroad car from Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and2 tons of lead, and costs $15,000. The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead and at least 2.5 tons of copperper day for the foreseeable future.1. In order to minimize the long-range scrap metal cost, how many raiload cars of scrap should bepurchased per day from each source
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Let x represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Atlanta and let y represent the number of railroad cars of scrap purchased per day from Birmingham.
Since Atlanta yields 1 ton of copper and 1 ton of lead while Birmingham yields 1 ton of copper and 2 tons of lead.
The foundry needs at least 2.5 tons of copper per day. Hence:
x + y ≥ 2.5 (1)
The foundry needs at least 4 tons of lead per day. Hence:
x + 2y ≥ 4 (2)
Plotting equations 1 and 2 using geogebra online graphing tool, we get the points that is the solution to the problem as:
(0, 2.5), (4, 0), (1, 1.5)
Car from Atlanta cost $10000 while car from Birmingham costs $15000. Therefore the cost equation is:
Cost = 10000x + 15000y
We are to find the minimum cost:
At (0, 2.5): Cost = 10000(0) + 15000(2.5) = $37500
At (4, 0): Cost = 10000(4) + 15000(0) = $40000
At (1, 1.5): Cost = 10000(1) + 15000(1.5) = $32500
The minimum cost is at (1, 1.5).
A manufacturer has been selling 1000 flat-screen TVs a week at $350 each. A market survey indicates that for each $10 rebate offered to the buyer, the number of TVs sold will increase by 100 per week. (a) Find the demand function (price p as a function of units sold x). p(x) = Correct: Your answer is correct. (b) How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue? $ 125 Correct: Your answer is correct. (c) If its weekly cost function is C(x) = 61,000 + 110x, how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit?
Answer:
A. p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450x
B. 506,250
C. $280
Explanation:
(a) Calculation to Find the demand function
Let assume that the demand Q(p) is the LINEAR function of the price
Q(350) = 1000
dQ/dp = -100/10 = -10
Point-slope form :
Q-1000 = -10(p-350)
Q-1000 = -10p + 3500
Q= -10p+(3500+1000)
Q = -10p + 4500
Hence,
Q(p) = -10p +4500
The inverse is:
(Q-4500)/-10 = p
(-1/10)Q + 450 = p
Hence, p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450 where Q=x
Therefore the the demand function will be p(x) = (-1/10)x + 450x
(b) Calculation for How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue
Revenue = Price * Qauntity sold
R(p) = p*Q(p)
Revenue = p * (-10p + 4500)
Revenue= -10p^2 + 4500p
let Maximize:
0 = dR/dp = -20p + 4500
-4500 = -20p
p=-4500/-20
p = 450/2 = 225
Hence, Max. revenue
-10 (225)^2 + 4500 *225
= -506,250 + 1,012,500
= 506,250
Therefore How large a rebate should the company offer the buyer in order to maximize its revenue will be 506,250
(c) Calculation for how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit
Let C(x) represent cost to produce x television sets
Let C(Q(p)) represent cost to produce the demanded quantity
C(q(p)) = 61,000 + 110*Q(p)
C(q(p)) = 61,000 + 110* (-10p +4500)
C(q(p)) = 61,000 + -1,100p + 495,000
C(q(p)) = 556,000 - 1,100p
let calculate the profit using this formula
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Let plug in the formula
P(p) = -10p^2 + 4,500p - ( 556,000 - 1,100p)
P(p) = -10p^2 + 4,500p -556,000 + 1,100p
P(p) = -10p^2 + 5,600p - 556,000
Maximizing:
0=dP/dp = -20p + 5,600
Hence, maximizing profit occurs at price p=-5,600/-20 = $280
Therefore how should the manufacturer set the size of the rebate in order to maximize its profit will be $280
The electric utility rate for a facility during the months of May through October is 4.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy, $11.50 per kilowatt peak demand, and a $68.00 per month meter charge. During the August billing period the facility used 96,000 kw-hrs and set a peak demand of 624 kw during the time between 4:45 P.M. and 5:00 P.M. in the afternoon on August 15. Calculate the August electric bill.
Answer: $11564
Explanation:
Total units consumed for August = 96000
There's a peak demand of 624kw
Also, the May through October is 4.5 cents per kilowatt-hour for energy.
The August electric bill will then be:
= 96000 × 4.5/100 + 624 × 11.50 + 68
= (96000 × 0.045) + (624 × 11.50) + 68
= 4320 + 7176 + 68
= 11564
Suppose the same facts as above, except that Kimberly-Clark incurred legal fees resulting from the execution of the lease of $5,000, and received a lease incentive from Sheffield to enter the lease of $1,000. How would the initial measurement of the lease liability and right-of-use asset be affected under this situation
Answer:
Kimberly-Clark
The initial measurement of the lease liability and the right-of-use asset would not be affected under this situation.
Explanation:
a) Data:
Legal fees resulting from the execution of the lease = $5,000
Incentive received from Sheffield to enter the lease = $1,000
b) The legal fees will be expensed, while the lease incentive will be recorded as income. Legal fees paid to professionals for lease agreements can be deducted as operating expenses. In this situation, the legal fees can be reduced by the lease incentive received from the lessor.

At the end of 2016, burger food truck The Patty Wagon’s preliminary trial balance indicated a current ratio of 1.20. Management is contemplating paying some of its accounts payable balance before the end of the fiscal year. Explain the effect this transaction would have on the current ratio. Would your answer be the same if the preliminary trial balance indicated a current ratio of 0.8?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Lets assume that for current ratio to be 1.2, the current assets were $120000 and Current liabilities were $100000. [120000 / 100000 = 1.2]
Now, if say $20000 of accounts payable were paid, the new current ratio would be:
= ($120000 - $20000) / ($100000 - $20000)
= $100000 / $80000
= 1.25.
Hence, the current ratio would Increase and this should be encouraged.
If current ratio were 0.8, (Current Assets $ 80000 and Current Liabilities $ 100000, 80000 / 100000 = 0.8] and $ 20000 were paid, the new current ratio would be:
= ($80000 - $20000) / ($100000 - $20000)
= $60000 / $80000
= 0.75
Hence, the current ratio would Decrease. This should be discouraged.
Conclusion: No, the answer would not be the same if current ratio were 0.8 instead of 1.2.
Compute the 2020 tax liability and the marginal and average tax rates for the following taxpayers. Click here to access the 2020 tax rate schedule. If required, round the tax liability to the nearest dollar. When required, round the average rates to four decimal places before converting to a percentage (i.e. .67073 would be rounded to .6707 and entered as 67.07%). a. Chandler, who files as a single taxpayer, has taxable income of $94,800.
Answer:
Tax liability:
Chandler is in 85,525 - 163,300 bracket.
Liability is:
= 14,605.50 + (24 % * (94,800 - 85,525))
= 14,605.50 + 2,226
= $16,832
Marginal Tax rate = 24%
Marginal tax rate for 85,525 - 163,300 bracket is 24%.
Average tax rate:
= Tax liability / Taxable income
= 16,832 / 94,800
= 17.76%

Consider the decision to purchase either a 5-year corporate bond or a 5-year municipal bond. The corporate bond is a 12% annual coupon bond with a par value of $1,000. It is currently yielding 11.5%. The municipal bond has an 8.5% annual coupon and a par value of $1,000. It is currently yielding 7%. Assume that your marginal tax rate is 35%. What is the after tax yield to maturity (YT
Answer:
MUNICPAL BOND YTM; r= 7.00%
CORPORATE BOND YTM; r= 7.35%
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
To get the after tax yield to maturity (YTM)
MUNICPAL BOND
Purchase price PV of coupons + PV of Face value at maturity
[(1000×8.5%) × (1 - 1.07⁻⁵] / 0.07) + (1000/1.07⁵)
348.516 + 712.98 = 1061.5
After-tax coupon payment 1000 × 8.5% = 85
COUPONS RECORD ON MUNICIPAL ARE
TAX-EXCEMPT.
Par value 1000
Calculated YTM 1061.5 = (85× (1-(1+r)⁻⁵)/r) + (1000/(1+r)⁵)
r= 7.00%
CORPORATE BOND
Purchase price PV of coupons +PV of Face value at maturity
((1000×12%) × (1-1.115⁻⁵)/0.115) +(1000/1.115⁵)
437.985 + 580.264 = 1018.25
After-tax coupon payment 1000 × 12% × (1 - 35%) = 78
Par value 1000
Calculated YTM 1018.25 = (78× (1-(1+r)⁻⁵)/r) + (1000/(1+r)⁵)
r= 7.35%
MUNICPAL BOND YTM; r= 7.00%
CORPORATE BOND YTM; r= 7.35%
[Related to Solved Problem 3.1B] In 2015, the Washington Nationals baseball team signed pitcher Max Scherzer to a contract to play for them for seven years. He would be paid $15 million dollars per year for 14 years—an additional 7 years beyond the end of the time he would be committed to play for the Nationals. The contract was widely reported as being worth $210 million (or $15 million per year×14 years). One baseball writer argued, though, that "this deal serves as a nice reminder that the payment terms of a deal can have an impact on the actual value of the contract." Source: Dave Cameron, "Max Scherzer and When $210 Million Isn't $210 Million," fangraphs, January 19, 2015. Which of the following statements best represents the actual value of the contract? A. The actual value of the contract is more than $30 million for each year he plays. B. Scherzer's contract is worth $210 million on the day he signs it. C. The actual value of the contract is less than $30 million for each year he plays. D. The actual value of the contract is $30 million for each year he plays. Assume for simplicity that Scherzer receives his $15 million per year salaries for 2018, 2019, and 2020 at the end of each calendar year. The interest rate for this period of time is 7%. The present value of the salaries he will receive for these three years on January 1, 2018 is approximately A. $41.9 million. B. $45 million. C. $36.7 million. D. $39.4 million.

Your farm encompasses 900 acres, and you are planning to grow soybeans, corn, and wheat in the coming planting season. Fertilizer costs per acre are: $5 for soybeans, $2 for corn, and $1 for wheat. You estimate that each acre of soybeans will require an average of 5 hours of labor per week, while tending to corn and wheat will each require an average of 2 hours per week. Based on past yields and current market prices, you estimate a profit of $9,000 for each acre of soybeans, $6,000 for each acre of corn, and $3,000 for each acre of wheat. You can afford to spend no more than $5,400 on fertilizer, and your farm laborers can supply 5,400 hours per week. How many acres of each crop should you plant to maximize total profits
Answer:
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
Explanation:
you need to maximize 9000S + 6000C + 3000W
where:
S = acres of soybean
C = acres of corn
W = acres of wheat
constraints:
S + C + W ≤ 900
5S + 2C + 1W ≤ 5400
5S + 2C + 2W ≤ 5400
S, C, W ≥ 0
S, C, W are whole numbers
Using solver, the optimal solution = 900 acres of soybean resulting in $8,100,000 profit
A city starts a solid waste landfill during 2020. When the landfill was opened the city estimated that it would fill to capacity within 6 years and that the cost to cover the facility would be $1.8 million which will not be paid until the facility is closed. At the end of 2020, the facility was 15% full, and at the end of 2021 the facility was 35% full. If the landfill is judged to be a governmental fund, what liability is reported on the fund financial statements at the end of 2021
Answer:
$630,000
Explanation:
facility cost = $1.8 million = $1,800,000
The liability reported will depend on the percentage of full facility in the respective years
2020 = 15%
2021 = 35%
The liability reported on the financial statement of 2021 can be calculated as follow
Liability value 2021 = Facility cost x Percentage of the facility
Liability value 2021 = $1,800,000 x 35%
Liability value 2021 = $630,000
Hence $630,000 will be reported as a liability in respect of the facility in the financial statement of 2021.
