Answer:

  • <u><em>To maximize the purchasing power of his income, Juand should accept the offert of Atlanta, GA.</em></u>

Explanation:

To answer this question you need the <em>comparative costs of living</em> in each of the trhee cities.

In a similar question, you can find the <em>cost of iiving indexes</em> for <em>Atlanta, Boston,</em> and <em>San Francisco</em>. Here is the table:

<em />

<em>                                           Cost of living index</em>

<em>City                                (100 = U.S. City average)</em>

<em>Atlanta, GA                                 98</em>

<em>Boston, MA                               160</em>

<em>San Francisco, CA                   245</em>

Thus, to determine which offer <em>Juan should accept to maximize the purchasing power of his income</em>, divide each income by the cost of living index.

<u>Atlanta, GA:</u>

<u />

  • $50,000/98 = $510.20

<u>Boston, MA</u>

  • $70,000/160 = $437.50

<u>San Francisco, CA</u>

  • $100,000/245 = $408.16

Rank the adjusted earnings in decreasing order:

  • $510.20 > $437.50 > $407.16

Hence, in spite of the nominal earnings in Atlanta are the lowest, the higher cost of living indexes of the other cities, make that the offer from Atlanta the best one.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:Yield to maturity is 9.59%;  After tax cost of debt =7.672%

Explanation:

 A)   Yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} /  {(FV +PV)/2}

Where C – Interest payment    = $90

FV – Face value of the security

= $1000

PV – Present value/curent market value = $960

t – years it takes the security to reach maturity= 10 years

imputing the values and calculating,

yield to maturity ={ C + (FV-PV)/t} /  {(FV +PV)/2}

= $90 + (1000-960)/10} / 1000 + 960 /2

$90 + 4= $94 /980= 0.0959

therefore Yield to maturity is 9.59%

B)   After tax cost of debt =    Yield To Maturity  x (1 - tax rate)

=9.59% x (1-20%)= 9.59% x (1-0.2 )= 9.59% x 0.8 =

9.59 % x 80%=7.672%
