Answer:

18%

Explanation:

Lochemere is evaluating a taxable bond at 7%

= 7/100

= 0.07

The municipal bond is 5.75%

= 5.75/100

= 0.0575

Therefore the break even tax rate can be calculated as follows

Municipal bond = taxable bond × (1-tax rate)

0.0575= 0.07 × (1-t)

0.0575= 0.07(1-t)

1-t= 0.0575/0.07

1-t = 0.82

t= 1-0.82

t= 0.18×100

t= 18%

Hence the break-even tax rate is 18%

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

$41,400

Explanation:

Tuition will increase by $500 each year

Year 1 tuition = $17,300

Year 2 tuition = $17,800

Year 3 tuition = $18,300

Year 4 tuition = $18,800

Total = $72,200

Scholarship per year = $5000

Total scholarship for 4 years = 4 * $5000

= $20,000

Earnings per year = $2,700

Total earnings for four years = 4 * $2,700

= $10,800

She plans to take out a loan to cover the remaining tuition costs

Loan = Total tuition - (Total scholarship for 4 years + Total earnings for four years)

= $72,200 - ( $20,000 + $10,800)

= 72,200 - (30,800)

= 72,200 - 30,800

= 41,400

Loan = $41,400

Michelle need to borrow $41,400

Because people prepare budgets, budget figures are often biased. Which of the following is true? a. When senior management sets

eduard

Answer: B

Explanation:

Budgetary slack is a cushion created in a budget by management to increase the chances of actual performance beating the budget. Budgetary slack can take one of two forms: an underestimate of the amount of income or revenue that will come in over a given amount of time, or an overestimate of the expenses that are to be paid out over the same time period. Budgetary slack is generally frowned upon because the perception is that managers care more about making their numbers to keep their seats and gaming the executive compensation system rather than pushing company performance to its potential. Managers putting a budget together could low-ball revenue projections, pump up estimated expense items, or both to produce numbers that will not be hard to beat for the year. It also provides flexibility for operating under unknown circumstances, such as an extra margin for discretionary expenses in case budget assumptions on inflation are incorrect, or adverse circumstances arise.
