Answer:

Techron I

-$154,842

Techron II

-$144,981

Explanation:

Techron I

Cash Flow From Year 1 to Year 3

Pretax operating costs ($75,000)

Depreciation ($276,000 / 3) ($92,000)

Profit before tax ($167,000)

Tax (21% x $167,000) $35,070

Profit after tax ($131,930)

Add back Depreciation $92,000

Cash Flow after tax ($39,930)

Terminal Value = Salvage value - Tax = $52,000 - ($52,000 x 21%) = $41,080

NPV = ($276,000) + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-1] + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-2] + [ (39,930) x (1+12%)^-3] = ($276,000) + ($35,652) + ($31,832) + ($28,421) = ($371,905)

EAC = NPV/(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

EAC = -371,905 / ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-3/12% = -$154,842

Techron II

Cash Flow From Year 1 to Year 3

Pretax operating costs ($48,000)

Depreciation ($480,000 / 5) ($96,000)

Profit before tax ($144,000)

Tax (21% x $167,000) $30,240

Profit after tax ($113,760)

Add back Depreciation $96,000

Cash Flow after tax ($17,746)

Terminal Value = Salvage value - Tax = $52,000 - ($52,000 x 21%) = $41,080

NPV = ($480,000) + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-1] + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-2] + [ (17,746) x (1+12%)^-3] = ($480,000) + ($15,845) + ($14,147) + ($12631) = ($522,623)

EAC = NPV/(1-(1+r)^-n)/r

EAC = -522,623 / ( 1 - ( 1 + 12% )^-5/12% = -$144,981

Eric receives a portion of his income from his holdings of interest-bearing U.S. government bonds. The bonds offer a real intere

MArishka [77]

Solution :

Given :

The bonds offer a $\text{real interest rate}$ of 4.5% per year

Tax rate = 10% = 0.10

Inflation rate = 2

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{real interest rate}$ + $\text{inflation rate}$

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = 2 + 4.5

= 6.5

$\text{After tax nominal rate}$ = $\text{Nominal interest rate}$ $\times (1-\text{tax rate})$

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $6.5 \times (1-0.10)$

$=6.5 \times 0.90$

= 5.85

After tax real interest rate = $\text{after tax nominal rate}$ - $\text{inflation rate}$

= 5.85 - 2.0

= 3.85

$\text{Inflation rate}$ = 7.0

$\text{Real interest rate = 4.5}$

$\text{Nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{real interest rate}$ + $\text{inflation rate}$

= 7 + 4.5

= 11.5

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{Nominal interest rate}$ $\times (1-\text{tax rate })$

$=11.5 \times (1 - 0.10)$

$=11.5 \times 0.90$

= 10.35

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = 11.5 x (1 - 0.10)

= 11.5 x 0.90

= 10.35

$\text{After tax nominal interest rate}$ = $\text{after tax nominal rate}$ - $\text{inflation rate}$

= 10.35 - 7.0

= 3.35

Putting all the value in table :

$\text{Inflation rate}$ Real interest Nominal interest After tax nominal After tax

rate rate interest rate interest rate

2.0 4.5 6.5 5.85 3.85

7.0 4.5 11.5 10.35 3.35

Comparing with the $\text{higher inflation rate}$ , a $\text{lower inflation rate}$ will increase the after after tax real interest rate when the government taxes nominal interest income. This tends to encourage saving, thereby increase the quantity of investment in the economy and the increase the economy's long-run growth rate.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The correct answer is The fundamental attribution error.

Explanation:

The Fundamental Attribution Error (EFA) is a phenomenon that occurs when we try to explain our own behavior with respect to that of others. Many times we find it hard to understand why a person acts as he acts. And we do not stop to look for the reasons that are the basis of their behavior.

A very clear example is to suspend an exam. If you have to explain to someone why you have suspended the exam, you probably mean that it was very difficult, that you had not rested, did not have time to study or even that the teacher suspended you.

Now imagine that it is another person who suspends and you have approved. Surely if you have to explain why you have suspended you will explain that it is a bit vague, that you have not studied enough and even that you were not interested in approving.
