Answer:
$102
Explanation:
FUTA tax due from Willow Corporation for 2019, after the credit for state unemployment taxes, can be calculated by deducting the Paid state unemployment tax by the FUTA tax.
DATA
Paid State Unemployment Tax = (7,000+7,000+3,000) x 5.4%
Paid State Unemployment Tax = $918
FUTA tax rate in 2019 = 6%
Solution
FUTA tax (6% x $17,000) = $1,020
FUTA tax due = $1,020 - $918
FUTA tax due = $102
Answer:
A) 10.15%
Explanation:
Cost of equity (Re) = 14.06% or 0.1406
cost of preferred stock (Rp) = 7/65 = 0.10769
cost of bonds (Rb) = 7.5% or 0.075
outstanding shares = 2.5 million shares x $42 = $105 million
bonds outstanding = $1,000 x 80,000 bonds = $80 million
preferred stock = $65 x 750,000 = $48.75 million
corporate tax rate = 38% or 0.38
total market value of equity + debt (in millions) = $105 + $48.75 + $80 = $233.75
WACC = [(outstanding shares / total market value) x Re] + [(preferred stock / total market value) x Rp] + {[(bonds outstanding / total market value) x Rb] x (1 - tax rate)}
WACC = [($105m / $233.75m) x 0.1406] + [($48.75m / $233.75m) x 0.10769] + {[($80m / $233.75m) x 0.075] x (1 - 0.38)}
WACC = 0.06316 + 0.02246 + 0.01591 = 0.10153 or 10.15%
I inferred you are to the 2017 TEDx talk "Short-termism is killing us: it's time for Long path" by Ari Wallach.
<u>Explanation:</u>
According to Wallach, he refers to short-termism as focusing on short-term results at the expense of long-term interests.
In his words, short-termism is a problem because;
- "it prevents the CEO from buying really expensive safety equipment"
- "prevents teachers from spending quality one-on-one time with their students".
So in summary what Wallach is saying is that short-termism prevents futuristic thinking.
