Answer:

Ans. The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is 6.65% (please check the explanation)

Explanation:

Hi, well, this type of bonds exist so people can avoid the time value of money risk, in other words, to keep money save from inflation and provide a risk free return at the same time. From a part of the text I can tell that the person who wrote it wanted to add up the risk free rate and the inflation rate, that is 3.05%+3.60% =6.65%.

This is why I wrote this answer, but the truth is that since they are both effective rates (risk free rate and inflation), they need to be add as effective rates, that is:

(1+r(e))=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)

Therefore

r(e)=(1+rf)*(1+Inf)-1

r(e)=(1+0.0305)*(1+0.036)-1=0.0676

So the real equilibrium rate of return is 6.76%, but for the sake of the question, I wrote 6.65%.

Best of luck.

What is the expected constant-growth rate of dividends for a stock currently priced at $50, that just paid a dividend of $4, and
Viktor [21]

Answer:

8.9

Explanation:

according to the constant dividend growth model

price = d1 / (r - g)

d1 = next dividend to be paid = d0 x (1 +g)  

r = cost of equity

g = growth rate

50 = [4 x (1 +g)] / (0.18 - g)

50(0.18 - g)  = 4(1 +g)

neonofarm [45]

Answer: 64.47%

= Units produced in October / Units production in the most efficient way

= 17470 / 27100

= 0.6447

= 64.47%

The capacity utilization rate in October for this factory is 64.47%.

Brent is a full-time exempt employee in Clark County, Indiana. He earns an annual salary of $39,360 and is paid semimonthly. He
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

  • Federal Income tax ⇒ $80
  • FICA ⇒ $125.46
  • State income tax ⇒ $52.97
  • Local deduction - Clark County Income tax ⇒ $29.52

Explanation:

Brent gets paid semi-monthly so his pay per period is:

= 39,360 / (12 months *2)

= $1,640

Based on the table therefore, his federal tax is:

= $80

This figure is based on the intersection between income of $1,640 and 3 withholding allowances.

FICA tax rate is 7.65% so his FICA tax is:

= 1,640 * 7.65%

= $125.46

State income tax = $52.97

Local deduction - Clark County Income tax = $29.52

Total deductions:

= Federal tax + FICA + State income tax + Clark County income tax

= 80 + 125.46 + 52.97 + 29.52

= $287.95
