Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: Cost of equity can be defined as the return that the investors demand for bearing the risk of ownership in company's equity shares. It can be computed by using CAPM model which is represented as follows :-

cost of equity = risk free rate + beta *(market risk premium)

$K_e=\:R_f\:+\beta \left ( Er_m \right )$

$K_e=\:3.86\%\:+\b0.92 \left ( 5.75\% \right )$

= 9.15%

Dan, and Mike are brothers. They plan to begin savings plans when each is exactly 25. Each brother plans to save $6,000 per year

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1. How much will Dan have in his traditional IRA account at 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$500

B) Amount in account at age 67?

$2,813,492

C) Briefly explain the taxation on withdrawals from a Traditional IRA

IRA contributions are made before income taxes are paid, that is why Dan's monthly contributions are higher. The disadvantage is that Dan's plan will be taxed later.

2. How much will Mike have in his Roth IRA at age 67? Follow the proper taxation for this type of retirement account.

A) Amount available to invest after taxes per month?

$375 until 59.5 years old, then $500

B) Amount in account at age 67

$2,072,879

c) Briefly explain the taxation on the withdrawals from a Roth IRA

Roth IRA contributions are made after income taxes are paid, that is why Mike's monthly contributions are lower. The advantage is that Mike's plan will not be taxed later.

3. If both brothers are expected to be taxed at a 20% tax rate in retirement, which retirement plan will have the best after tax results?

In this case, since the tax rate is higher while they are working (25%), than once they retire (20%), the traditional IRA account could make more sense except that since the time span is very long, your account will accumulate a lot of earned interest. The total principal invested into the traditional IRA account is $252,000 and the interest gained is $2,561,492 and that part will be taxed once you start withdrawing money. In order to determine which account would be better, you need to estimate how many years will Dan and Mike live after retiring, the longer they live the best option is the Roth IRA account.

Explanation:

the formula to determine the future value of an annuity is:

FV = P x [(1 + r)ⁿ - 1] / r

Dan's monthly contribution = $500

Mike's monthly contribution = $500 x (1 - 25%) = $375 until age 59.5, then $500

Dan's n = 42 years x 12 months = 504

r = 9% / 12 = 0.75%

Mike's n = 414 for $375 and 90 for $500

Dan's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁵⁰⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $2,813,492

Mike's FV = $375 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁴¹⁴ - 1] / 0.75% = $1,052,612

then $1,052,612 x (1.09)⁷°⁵ = $2,008,940

Mike's FV = $500 x [(1 + 0.75%)⁹⁰ - 1] / 0.75% = $63,939

total = $2,008,940 + $63,939 = $2,072,879

Domestic producers of steel rods send a lobbyist to the U.S. government to request that the government impose trade restrictions

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

C. Infant-industry argument

Explanation:

The lobbyst is using the infant-industry argument because he is claiming that all that the emerging national industry needs is some temporary trade restrictions until it can develop enough to compete.

This argument is very commonly used against free trade, and is based on the belief that national industries should be allowed to grow in isolation before opening up the markets. The problem with this argument is what happens if the national industry remains uncompetitive even after a long period of trade restrictions.

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.

Charra [1.4K]

Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.

The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.

It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.
