Answer:

The after tax cost of debt is

D) 7.0%

Explanation:

In order to find the firms after tax cost of debt we have to find it's pre tax cost of debt, which is also the yield to maturity or interest rate of the bond. In order to find it we need 4 other variables, the par value or future value of the bond, the present value of the bond, the coupon payments and the number of maturity periods.  

The present value is 908.72, the future value is 1,000, the coupon payment is (0.09*1000*0.5)= 45. We multiply the 9% coupon rate with the future value of the bond and divide it by 2 as 9 is the coupon rate and because there are semi annual payments we will divide it by 2. The number of periods are (25*2) as there are 25 years to maturity and 2 payment periods each year so number of periods are 50.

We need to put all these values in a financial calculator

Pv= 908.72

FV=-1000

PMT= -45

N= 50

Compute I=5.00

This is the semi annual interest rate so we will multiply it by 2 to find the yearly interest rate so 5*2= 10.

10% is the pre tax cost of debt and now we will multiply it by (1-tax rate) to find the after tax cost of debt

0.1*0.7= 0.07= 7%

Preference is given to people that live with the dependent so this puts William at the least priority because he doesn't live with Autumn thereby leaving Charlotte and her mother.

Preference is then given to the biological parents of the dependent which means that Diana is has second priority. Charlotte is therefore the the most preferred to claim her daughter as a dependent which would allow her greater tax deductions.

ratelena [41]

Answer: West Mudville should specialize in, and export, baseball bats.

Explanation:

Each country should specialize in the good that it has a lower opportunity cost in producing.

West Mudville

Opportunity cost of producing baseball bats = 9/9 = 1 baseball

Opportunity cost of producing baseball = 9/9 = 1 baseball bat

East Mudville

Opportunity cost of producing baseball bats = 8/4 = 2 baseballs

Opportunity cost of producing baseball = 4/8 = 0.5 baseball bats

From the above, West Mudville has a lower opportunity cost than East Mudville in the production of baseball bats and so it should specialize in and export that.
