You are an astronaut on a deep space mission. You are in suspended animations for 40 years before you return to earth. Your pare

nts have died, but, since you were the favorite son (since you were an astronaut and all), they left you first choice over your ne'er-do-well brother, Sigmund. Your choices are your parent's Roth IRA or their traditional IRA. The Roth IRA has $2 million in it. The traditional IRA has $2.5 million in it. Your income is well within the 30% tax bracket and you are old enough to withdrawl the money without penalty. Assume that you will withdrawl all the money at once. Which IRA would you choose and why?

Answer:

you should choose the Roth IRA

Explanation:

we have to calculate after tax return in order to determine which option is better:

  • traditional IRA account: after tax return = $2,500,000 x (1 - 30%) = $1,750,000
  • Roth IRA account: after tax return = $2,000,000, since Roth IRA's distributions are tax free

Roth IRA contributions are not tax deductible, that is why their distributions are tax free. While traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible, that is why their distributions are taxed at marginal tax rate.

While Sally is still a minor, she wrecks the car she purchased from Bally. Can she still disaffirm the contract? Must she return
patriot [66]

Answer:

If Sally is still a minor, she can disaffirm the contract and return the car to Bally. Contracts involving minors are not legally binding unless the minor reaffirms them once he/she is an adult or a parent also signs the contract.

In this case, Sally's contract is voidable by her and if she chooses to, she is able to void it. What happens after she returns the car depends on the state. Some state laws force Bally to return the money even if the car is wrecked. Other states have laws that require minors to return goods in good shape, and in this case, would allow Bally to deduct any repair expenses from the money he needs to return to Sally.

Phone calls are:________.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": capable of offering the give-and-take of in-person conversations.

Explanation:

While talking about channels of communication, phone calls are useful to imitate the closest possible to face-to-face communication, with its limitations. The transmission of information is done in real-time and the participants can provide their points of view just as if they were talking in person.  

Though, expressions cannot be captured. Many people over the phone can pretend to have a mood modulating their tone of voice even if their feelings are opposite.

jek_recluse [69]
<span>When a firm doubles its inputs and finds that its output has more than doubled, this is known as economies of scale. When a business has reached economies of scale, that means there is an equal amount saved in costs by increasing the production amount. The more you produce the lower the cost is to produce those items and the more amounts of items you have to sell.

In picking the smoothing constant for an exponential smoothing model, we should look for a value that______________.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Answer is the one which produces values which compare well with actual values based on a standard measure of error.

Explanation:

Exponential smoothing is one means of preparing short-term sales forecasts on a routine basis. To use exponential smoothing, however, one must decide the proper values for the smoothing constants in the forecasting model. One method for selecting the smoothing constants involves conducting a grid search to evaluate a wide range of possible values.

Exponential smoothing forecasting methods use constants that assign weights to current demand and previous forecasts to arrive at new forecasts.   Their values influence the responsiveness of forecasts to actual demand and hence influence forecast error. Considerable effort has focused on finding the appropriate values to use.

One approach is to use smoothing constants that minimize some function of forecast error. Thus, in order to select the right constants for forecasting, different values are tried out on past time series, and the ones that minimize an error function like Mean Absolute    Deviation (MAD) or Mean Squared Error (MSE) are the ones used for forecasting
