Answer: Congress gives too many tax breaks to corporations.
Explanation:
Normative statements are said to be statement of opinion and not fact.

Answer:
At least during the last couple of decades, service firms tend to generate sustained growth while manufacturing firms do not.
Explanation:
The last president that recorded a steady manufacturing growth rate was Bill Clinton.
Service firms are growing steadily and probably will continue to do it. While manufacturing firms have been slowing down, their growth rate (if any) is not very large during the past few years and that tendency has increased with the new trade barriers imposed by our government during the last couple of years.
Another thing that helps the growth of service firms is that when manufacturing firms or agricultural firms grow, they need more services, so service firms will grow even more.
Answer:
I will be willing to pay $1,106 for a vanguard bond.
Explanation:
Coupon payment = Par value x Coupon rate
Coupon payment = $1,000 x 8%
Coupon payment = = $80
Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:
Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]
Price of the Bond =$80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 7% )^-20 ) / 7% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 7% )^20 ]
Price of the Bond = $80 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.07 )^-20 ) / 0.07 ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1.07 )^20 ]
Price of the Bond = $848 + $258
Price of the Bond = $1,106
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. The company's total book value of debt will be:
= Value of debt + Value of zero coupon bonds
= $70 million + $100 million
= $170 million
b. The market value will be:
= Quoted price × Par value
= ($70 × 1.08) + ($100 × 0.61)
= $75.6 + $61
= $136.6 million
c. The aftertax cost of debt will be:
= (1 - Tax rate) × Pre tax cost of debt
= (1 - 35%) × 5.7%
= 65% × 5.7%
= 3.7%
