Answer:
Jana just found out that she is going to receive an end-of-year bonus of $32,200. She is in the 35 percent marginal tax bracket. Calculate her income tax on this bonus.
- tax liability = $32,200 x 35% = $11,270
Now assume that instead of receiving a bonus, Jana receives the $32,200 as a long-term capital gain. What will be her tax?
- tax liability = $32,200 x 15% = $4,830
Which form of compensation offers Jana the best after-tax return?
- if the bonus is taxed as a long term capital gain, she will páy less than half the taxes, so it is the best option for her
Would your calculation be different if the gain was short-term rather than long-term?
- Short term capital gains are taxed at the same rate as ordinary income, so the difference between the bonus being a long vs short term capital gain is very significant to Jana.
Answer:
The interest rate is 7.83%
Explanation:
The winner price in the year 1895 = $190
The winner price in the year 2014 = $1490000
Time duration between, 2014 – 1895 = 119 years
Now we have to find the interest rate at which the winner price has been increased. Thus, use the below formula to find the interest rate.
Future value = present value (1+ r)^n
Future value = $1490000
Present value = $190
n = 119
Now insert the values in the formula.
1490000 = 190(1 + r)^119
1490000 / 190 = (1+r)^119
r = 0.07826 or 7.83%
Answer:
amortization on discount on BP 400
Explanation:
When there is a difference between the face value and the issuance proceeds from the bond a premium or discount is created.
When the proceeds are above, there will be a premium and the interest expense will be lower thant the actual cash outlay on the bond.
When theface value is above the proceeds, there is a discount.and expenses are higher than cash payment to bondholders.
In this case the expense is higher so there is a discount.

- This type of fraud can be prevented by rotating employees that handle check issuance to vendors, review of budget versus actual expenditure, monitoring of audit trail to see if beneficiary was changed, daily statement download for reconciliation, and restriction of functions for example a employee that issues checks should not also reconcile bank statement.
