Answer: $1,256
Explanation:
Milo makes 6% on the sales that he makes.
The $75.36 that he made from this sale is therefore 6% of the cost of the item sold.
Assuming the item was x, the cost is;
6% * x = 75.36
x = 75.36/6%
x = $1,256
Answer:
a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds
Explanation:
The Municipal bonds are tax free. Therefore, do not pay the income tax for their interest.
We need to set and equation for the net yield of the bonds after tax, which equal the municipal bond:
debt after tax:
cost of debt ( 1 - t) = after-tax
we want to equalize 8% pre-tax with 6% after-tax
0.08 ( 1 - t ) = 0.06
t = 1 - 0.06/0.08 = 1 - 0.75 = 0.25 = 25%
a tax-rate for 25% will make the investor be indifferent between there two bonds
Answer: the number of failing banks.
Explanation:
The Savings and Loan Crisis lasted from the 1980s to the 1990s and saw the failure of 1,043 Savings and Loan associations (S&Ls). These small "banks" accept deposits and use them to create loans for their members.
The problem with these S&Ls was that they were making losses on the loans they gave out and instead of getting out of business, they engaged in speculative trading to offset their gains and lost even more money leading to the government closing them down.
