Suppose the spouse of the primary earner in the household is considering joining the labor force. The spouse currently cares for

two children and, if employed, would earn $20 per hour for 40 hours per week. The cost of child care would be $10 per hour for 50 (not 40) hours per week. Assume that the marginal tax rate on work is 50%. Assume that child care is tax deductible and that child care at home is NOT imputed and taxed. What is the after-tax, after-child-care addition to family income of the spouse working each week?

Answer: -$100

Explanation:

Assuming that that child care is tax deductible and that child care at home is NOT imputed and taxed then we shall tax the earnings and deduct child care from it.

The couple makes $20 per week per 40 hour week.

= 20 * 40

= $800

Marginal tax rate is 50% so,

= 800 * 50%

= $400

After tax addition is $400

Childcare is $10 per hour for 50 (not 40) hours per week so,

= 10 * 50

= $500

After-Child-Care Contribution is,

= 400 - 500

= -$100

The after-tax, after-child-care addition to family income of the spouse working each week is -$100

Amram Inc. can issue a 20-year bond with a 6% annual coupon at par. This bond is not convertible, not callable, and has no sinki
Reil [10]

Answer:

B) The coupon rate could be less than, equal to, or greater than 6%, depending on the specific terms set, but in the real world the convertible feature would probably cause the coupon rate to be less than 6%.

Explanation:

Amram Inc. is issuing two bonds, one is not convertible and the other one is convertible and callable. Regardless of the coupon rate that they plan to set, convertible and callable bonds will usually (almost always) have a coupon rate that is lower than non-convertible or non-callable bonds.

Convertible bonds are bonds that can be converted or exchanged to common stock. Since convertible bonds offer more investment options, their risk is lower than non-convertible bonds.

Callable bonds is a bond that can be redeemed before the maturity date.

In standstill water a steam boat is accelerated 3 m per square from position of rest in an interval of 8 sec determine the dista
iragen [17]

<h2>Given:-</h2>

  • Acceleration ,a = 3m/s

  • Initial velocity ,u = 0m/s

  • Time taken ,t = 8s

<h3>To Find:-</h3>

  • Distance travel by the boat ,s
<h3 /><h3>Solution:-</h3>

We have to calculate the distance covered by the boat in given time interval. Using 2nd equation of motion

<h3>s = ut + 1/2at²</h3><h3 />

where,

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

s is the distance covered

Substitute the value we get

:⟹ s = 0×8 + 1/2×3 × 8²

:⟹ s = 0 + 1/2 × 3 × 64

:⟹ s = 3/2 × 64

:⟹ s = 3 × 32

:⟹ s = 96 m

Hence, the distance covered by the steam boat is 96 metres.
