Arvo Corporation is trying to choose between three alternative investments. The three securities that the company is considering

oee [108]

Answer:

9.635%

Explanation:

We shall use a table to compute different values as shown below.

Investment Return Taxable amount Tax Rate After-tax return

Dividend 9.8% 30% (n1) 18% 9.2708% (w1)

Municipal bond 8.8% 0% 18% 8.8%

Corporate bond 11.75% 100% 18% 9.635% (w2)

The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds

Workings:

9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%

Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%

18.75*0.18 =2.115%

Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%

Notes:

n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed

A student has a savings account earning 9% simple interest. She must pay $1400 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $14

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: The answer is $2,759.22

Explanation: From the question above, we have:

September 1st to January 1st is 4 months, this is 1/3 of a year which means that the student will earn:

=> 9/3 = 3%

3% interest for the money that is saved is the savings account. So the student must put in at least:

x + 3%x = 1400

x + 0.03x = 1400

1.03x = 1400

x = 1400 / 1.03

x = 1,359.22

Therefore, if the student saves $1,359.22 in the savings account By September 1st, she will have $1400 by January 1st.

Also, the student needs to make $1400 for the first semester. So overall she will need to make:

1,400 + 1,359.22 = $2,759.22 during the summer in order to ensure that she will have enough money to pay for both semesters.

Alpha Company is looking at two different capital structures, one an all-equity firm and the other a levered firm with $4.6 m

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The break-even EBIT using EPS is $1,288,000.

Explanation:

the break-even EBIT using EPS is the EBIT that will brings EPS under two different capital structure equal.

Denot X is the EBIT.

* We have:

+ EPS in all-equity firm = X/460,000

+ EPS in levered firm = ( X - interest rate)/230,000 = ( X - 4,600,000 x 14%)/230,000 = (X - 644,000) / 230,000.

* We have the equation:

X/460,000 = (X-644,000)/230,000 <=> X/460,000 = 2.8 <=> X = $1,288,000.

So, the break-even EBIT using EPS is $1,288,000.

The incidence of a tax is determined by which group (buyers or sellers) must actually pay the government. When demand is inelast

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

The incidence of a tax is determined by which group (buyers or sellers) must actually pay the government. FALSE, the real effect of taxes is measured by the price elasticity of the demand and the supply.

When demand is inelastic and supply is elastic, the burden of a tax falls mainly on producers. FALSE, when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic and the price elasticity of supply is elastic, the burden of tax falls mainly on the consumers.

When demand is elastic and supply is inelastic, the burden of a tax falls mainly on consumers. FALSE, when the price elasticity of demand is elastic and the price elasticity of supply is inelastic, the burden of tax falls mainly on the suppliers.

An excise tax can distort incentives and create missed opportunities for mutually beneficial transactions. TRUE
