Patrick has a written independent contractor agreement with his broker Tami. Last year, about 25% of his income came from sales

commissions. The other 75% came from an hourly wage paid by Tami. For income tax purposes, the IRS would probably classify Patrick as:

Answer:

independent contractor

Explanation:

The IRS uses the following 3 criteria to determine if a worker is an employee or not:

  1. Behavioral: does the employer control what the worker does? if +, employee
  2. Financial: does the employer have control over how and what amount a worker is paid? if +, employee
  3. Type of Relationship: Does the worker have any written contract or any does he/she receive any type of benefits? Does the relationship between the employer and the worker permanent? If +, employee

Apparently Patrick would fit quite well into the criteria of being an employee, but since he has a written agreement that states that he is an independent contractor, then that is how he should be classified. Also, it must be considered how Patrick pays his taxes, but we were not given that information.

Some states use a more strict parameter to determine if a worker is an employee, but that is not the case here.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

105

Explanation:

base year = 2016

cost of market basket of goods in base year = $2,000

CPI for base year = 100

year 2018

cost of market basket of goods in 2018 = $2,100

CPI for 2018 = (cost of basket of goods in 2018 / cost of basket of goods in base year) x 100 = ($2,100 / $2,000) x 100 = 105

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd = 9%, and its tax rate is 40%. It can issue preferred stock that pa
klio [65]

Answer:

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p)  = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = 16.18%

b)

WACC = 14%

c)

project 1 and project 2

Explanation:

Given that:

Debt rate (r_d) = 9% = 0.09

Tax rate (T) = 40% = 0.4

Dividend per share (D_p) = $6

Price per share (P_p) = $57

Common stock price (P_0)= $39

Expected dividend (D_1) = $4.75

Growth rate (g) = 4% = 0.04

The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock (w_e), 15% debt (w_d), and 10% preferred stock  (w_p)

a)

Cost of debt (after tax) =`r_d(1-T)= 0.09(1-0.4)=0.09*0.6=0.054

Cost of debt (after tax) = 5.4%

Cost of preferred stock (r_p) = \frac{D_p}{P_P}=\frac{6}{57}=0.1053 = 10.53%

r_p = 10.53%

Cost of common stock (r_e) = \frac{D_1}{P_0} +g=\frac{4.75}{39} +0.04=0.1618

r_e = 16.18%

b)

WACC=w_dr_d(1-T)+w_er_e+w_pr_p\\WACC=0.15*0.09(1-0.4)+0.75*0.1618+0.1*0.1053=0.14

WACC = 14%

c) Only projects with expected returns that exceed WACC will be accepted. Therefore only project 1 and project 2 would be accepted
