Answer:

present value of perpetuity  = $1111.11

present value of perpetuity  = $588.23

if interest rate fall price go up and interest rate rise price go down

Explanation:

given data

bond pay = $50

solution

first we find present value of perpetuity for 6.5 % that is

present value of perpetuity = \frac{cash flow}{discount}     ..............1

present value of perpetuity =  \frac{50}{0.065}

present value of perpetuity  = $769.23

now  present value of perpetuity for 4.5%

so from equation 1 we get

present value of perpetuity =  \frac{50}{0.045}

present value of perpetuity  = $1111.11

and

now  present value of perpetuity for 8.5%

so from equation 1 we get

present value of perpetuity =  \frac{50}{0.085}

present value of perpetuity  = $588.23

so

here we know that current price of perpetuity & discount rate is inversely proportional

so current present value is find by divide cash flow by discount rate

here discount rate higher value of perpetuity

so if interest rate fall price go up and interest rate rise price go down

abruzzese [7]

This phenomenon best illustrates how a progressive income-tax system serves as an automatic stabilizer for the economy.

<h3>What is an automatic stabilizer?</h3>

Automatic stabilizers are stabilizers that adjust the economy automatically without the intervention of external agents . Examples include progressive tax and transfer payments. A progressive tax is a tax structure where those who earn higher income are taxed more and those that earn less pay less amount of tax.

In an expansion, progressive tax increases the tax paid and this reduces disposable income. In a recession, tax paid is reduced and this increases disposable income

Here are the options:

increases crowding out in the economy

decreases real interest rates in the economy

offsets the timing problem for fiscal policy

Serves as an automatic stabiler for the economy

Troy (single) purchased a home in Hopkinton, MA, on January 1,2007, for $300,000. He sold the home on January 1, 2016, for$320,0
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Person T has rented home for the period of 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011 for principal purpose. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012. From 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013. T rented premises. Afterward. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2012. Accumulated depreciation on the same is SO.

1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011- Rented for 5 years

1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012 — Principal resident for 1 year 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013- Rented for 1 year

1st January 2013 to 31st December 2016 — Principal resident for 4 years

Person T is successful in criteria of user test and ownership tests. As Person T has used the home for a minimum two years out of the last five years from the date of sale. Person T has used home for the principal residence for 5 years and 6 years as a rented resident. Hence allowance of gain should be in proportion basis.

Calculation of percentage of gain for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax:

Exemption = (Principal residence year/Total no.of years)  × 100  

Exemption = (5/11) × 100

Exemption = 45.45%

Hence, 45.45% is exempted from tax.

Calculation of amount for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax

Exempted amount = Tax Exemption x Capital gain

= 45.45% × $20,000

= $9,090

Hence, the eligible amount of exemption is $9,090.

Calculation of amount for Person T is not eligible for an exception from paying tax

Not exempted amount = Total profit - Exempted amount

Not exempted amount = $20,000 - $9,090

Not exempted amount = $10,910

Hence. Person T can claim exemption of capital gain for $9.090 from her total taxable income.
