Answer:

Slower economic growth

Explanation:

Increasing tax rates can generally and obviously discourage

work because corporations will pay more,

savings, because people earn lesser disposable income,

investment, because firms have lesser profit by paying bigger taxes,

Although specific tax adjustments for certain income categories can assist with the reallocation of economic resources.

But in the long-run economic growth will be slowed down by tax cuts because it will increase deficits by lesser funds being generated for the government over time

Steinberg's equity:

a-2.

Dietrich's debt:

Dietrich's equity:

b. Disagree as the values of the two companies are the same ( please see below Explanation for further clarification)

Explanation:

It is clear to determine that the value of debt and equity of the two firms is the present value of cash flow received in 1 year, discounted at 12%.

a-1.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Steinberg will receive $910,000 regardless of its EBIT. -=> Thus, Steinberg's debt present value = 910,000 / 1.12 = $812,500

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Steinberg's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 910,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-910,000) = $2,270,000.

=> Thus, Steinberg's equity present value = $2,270,000/ 1.12 = $2,026,786

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E = 812,500 + 2,026,786 = $2,839,286 ( note: no tax applied)

a-2.

In one year:

- Debt holder of Dietrich will receive $1,200,000 when the business expands while only $1,100,000 when the business goes into recession (i.e business loss is 100,000):  0.8 x 1,200,000 + 0.2 x 1,100,000 = $1,180,000

=> Thus, Dietrich's debt present value = 1,180,000 / 1.12 = $1,053,571

- Given the probability of expansion and recession, Dietrich's shareholder will receive the amount equal EBIT -  amount paid to its debt holders: 0.8 x (3,700,000 - 1,200,000) + 0.2 x (1,100,000-1,100,000) = $2,000,000.

=> Thus, Dietrich's equity present value = 2,000,000 / 1.12 = $1,785,714

=> Value of Steinberg = D+E =$1,053,571+$1,785,714  = $2,839,286( note: no tax applied)

a-3.

From the calculation, it is clear that the values of the two companies are the same.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A:

Number of contracts required:

= (0-1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -192

Since negative value, short 192 contracts.

B:

= (0.9 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= -48

Since negative value, short 48 contracts.

C:

= (1.8 - 1.2)×36,000,000÷(900×$250)

= 96

Since positive value, long 48 contracts.
