Answer:
Right
Explanation:
Right if you expect tax rates to go up or because right now you are starting your career and your tax bracket would be lower now than what it will be later on. When you are older and in retirement, you would want to save your money and not have to worry about any taxes.
Given:
Future value, F=60508.29
Monthly payment, A = 165
Compounding period = month
Number of periods, n = 12*12=144
interest per period = i [ to be found ]
We have the relationship
F=A((1+i)^n-1)/i
but there is no explicit formula for i for given F, A and n.
We need to solve a non-linear equation for the value of i, the monthly interest rate.
One of the ways is to solve it by fixed iteration, i.e.
1. using the given relation, express i in terms of other parameters.
2. select an initial value of i
3. evaluate i according the equation in step 1 until the value is stable.
Here we will use the relationship to express
i=((60508.29*i)/165+1)^(1/144)-1 [ notice that i is on both sides of = sign ]
using an initial value of i=0.01 (about 1% per month).
Successively, we get
i=((60508.29*0.01)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.01075571
i=((60508.29*0.01075571)/165+1)^(1/144)-1=0.011160681, similarly
i=0.0113685
i=0.0114728
i=0.0115246
i=0.0115502
i=0.0115628
i=0.0115690
i=0.0115720
Assuming the above has stablilized, and the APR is 12 time the above value, namely
Annual percentage rate = 0.01157205998210142*12=0.13886=13.89%
Answer:
$90,000
Explanation:
It is given that :
The pretax accounting income of Bryce Corporation 100,000
The interest on the municipal bonds - 7,000
The depreciation - 5,000
The difference in bad debt expense (3000-1000) <u> +2,000</u>
So the total income of Bryce Corporation $ 90,000
Answer:
$19,886.396
Explanation:
Given :
Interest rate = 5.1% = 5.1
Principal = $19000
Period = 11 months = (11/12)year
The present value of 19000 in 11 months at 5.1% interest Can be obtained using the relation:
PV = P(1 + r)^n
PV = 19000(1 + 0.051)^(11/12)
PV = 19000(1.051)^(11/12)
PV = 19000 * 1.0466524
PV = 19886.396
Hence, the present value is $19,886.396
