Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Tax payers can elect to use either standard deduction or itemized deduction to reduce their taxable income, for them to pay least amount of tax on their taxable income. Standard deduction is calculated and given in accordance with the provision of the tax law while itemized deduction is a list of items that the tax payer has incurred and expecting to except from tax, examples of this includes donation to charities and interest paid on mortgage.

Taxpayers normally elect the higher of standard deduction and itemized deduction to reduce their tax liability to the lowest.

In the case of Buddy Slaton, electing for itemized deduction of contributing to church($3,000) will save her no tax since the standard deduction is greater ($,5450).

You want to be a millionaire when you retire in 40 years. a. How much do you have to save each month if you can earn an annual r
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

The answers are:

a. 1866.79

b. 2489.05

c. 3733.57

Explanation:

a. Let us begin by calculating the total amount to be saved each year.

Let the total amount to be saved each year be "m"

annual return = 11.6% of m = 11.6 ÷ 100 = 0.116 of m

Therefore to be a millionaire in 40 years, the total amount saved for the year + the annual return on that amount when multiplied by 40 will yield 1 million. It is represented thus:

(0.116m + m) × 40 = 1,000,000

= (1.116m) × 40 = 1,000,000

44.64m = 1,000,000

∴ m = 1,000,000 ÷ 44.64 = 22401.433691756

therefore amount to be saved for a year = 22401.433691756

to calculate amount to be saved each month we divide this amount by 12, because 12 calendar months make one year. Hence;

amount to be saved each month = 22401.433691756 ÷ 12 = 1866.79 (to 2 decimal places).

b. If you wait 10 years, then you have only 30 years left to save

since the annual return remains the same,

(0.116m + m) × 30 = 1,000,000

(1.116m) × 30 = 1,000,000

33.48m = 1,000,000

∴ m = 1,000,000 ÷ 33.48 = 29868.578255675 (amount to be saved for a year)

Therefore amount to be saved per month = 29868.578255675 ÷ 12 = 2489.05 ( to 2 decimal places)

c. If you wait 20 years before saving, you hve 20 years more to save.

Since the annual return remains the same;

(1.116m) × 20 = 1,000,000

22.32m = 1,000,000

m = 1,000,000 ÷ 22.32 = 44802.867383512 (yearly amount to be saved)

Therefore amount to be saved per month = 44802.867383512 ÷ 12 = 3733.57 ( to 2 decimal places).

On January 1, year 1, Dave received 1,000 shares of restricted stock from his employer, RRK Corporation. On that date, the stock
butalik [34]

Answer:

Taxes on January 1, year 1= $1400

Taxes on Dec 31, year 4=$3300

Explanation:

The question relates to 'EQUITY GRANT', which is some sort of compensation given to somebody, especially/specifically to employees of an entity provided that certain conditions/vesting requirements are satisfied by the employee.

Now on January 1, year 1 Dave has received 1000 shares, for him the shares received is treated is income for Dave, as the shares are being offered against certain services rendered by Dave to RRK corporation. So on January 1 Dave would record income and pay income tax as follows:

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= 1000×$7

Value of shares on Jan 1/ income= $7000

<em>Lets assume income tax is 20% and marginal tax rate is 10%,</em> the tax consequences would be as follows:

TAXES = $7000×20%

TAXES = $1400

There will be no tax consequences at the vesting date and at the end of year 4 (the date when he sells them) there will be tax consequences of $4000.

At year 4 = 1000×$40

Amount realized= $40000 -$7000

Taxes at marginal rate= $33000×10%

Taxes at marginal rate= $3300

(Note: $7000 is subtracted because it's already present in $40000).
