Answer:
The correct answer is option A.
Explanation:
Income tax is a tax imposed by the government on the income earned by the individuals. This income can be from capital and labor. It creates a deadweight loss in the market for labor and capital.
Deadweight loss is the loss to economic efficiency and production caused by a tax. The imposition of a tax creates a tax wedge, this tax wedge leads to a deadweight loss. Deadweight loss due to income tax is the loss of purchasing power or reductions standard of living due to tax.
The inefficiency or tax burden depends upon the elasticities of demand and supply. Whoever has the least elasticity will share most of the tax burden.
Answer:
Do = $2.00
D1= Do(1+g)1 = $2(1+0.2)1 = $2.40
D2= Do(1+g)2 = $2(1+0.2)2 = $2.88
D3= Do(1+g)3 = $2(1+0.2)3 = $3.456
D4= Do(1+g)4 = $2(1+0.2)4 = $4.1472
D5= Do(1+g)5 = $2(1+0.2)5 = $4.97664
PHASE 1
V1 = D1/1+ke + D2/(1+ke)2 + D3/(1+ke)3 +D4/(1+ke)4 + D5/(1+ke)5
V1 = 2.40/(1+0.15) + 2.88/(1+0.15)2 + 3.456/(1+0.15)3 + 4.1472/(1+0.15)4 + 4.97664/(1+0.15)5
V1 = $2.0870 + $2.1777 + $2.2723 + $2.3712 + $2.4742
V1 = $11.3824
PHASE 2
V2 = DN(1+g)/ (Ke-g )(1+k e)n
V2 = $4.97664(1+0.02)/(0.15-0.02)(1+0.02)5
V2 = $5.0762/0.1435
V2 = $35.3742
Po = V1 + V2
Po = $11.3824 + $35.3742
Po = $46.76
Explanation: This is a typical question on valuation of shares with two growth rate regimes. In the first phase, the value of the share would be obtained by capitalizing the dividend for each year by the cost of equity of the company. The dividend for year 1 to year 5 was obtained by subjecting the current dividend paid(Do) to growth rate. The growth rate In the first regime was 20%.
In the second phase, the value of shares would be calculated by taking cognizance of the second growth rate of 2%. In this phase, the last dividend paid in year 5 would be discounted at the appropriate discount rate after it has been adjusted for growth.
Answer:
The payback period is more than 5 years
Explanation:
Net present value is the Net value of all cash inflows and outflows in present value term. All the cash flows are discounted using a required rate of return.
Year Cash flow PV factor Present Value
0 ($490,000) 1 ($490,000)
1 $40,000 0.909 $36,360
2 $10,000 0.826 $8,260
3 $120,000 0.751 $90,120
4 $90,000 0.683 $61,470
5 $180,000 0.621 <u> $111,780 </u>
Net Present Value ($182,010)
NPV of this Investment is negative so, it is not acceptable.
Payback period
Total Net cash inflow of the investment is $440,000 and Initial investment is $490,000. This investment will take more than 5 years to payback the initial investment.
