Answer:

  • After-Tax return on Municipal Bond = 7%
  • After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 6.72%

Explanation:

The main advantage that Municipal Bonds usually carry with them is that they are tax-exempt. As no taxes are paid on them, there is no need to calculate an after-tax return because it is the same as a pre-tax return.

After-Tax return on Municipal Bond = 7%

The Corporate Bond is subject to tax based on the holder's tax bracket.

After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 8.4 % * ( 1 - 20%)

After-Tax Return on Corporate Bond = 6.72%

<em>Considering taxes, the Municipal Bond is better. </em>

Pie

Answer: $12

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Art purchased 2,500 shares of Delta stock and his purchase represents 10 percent ownership in the firm. We are further told that his shares have increased in value from the $12 a share he originally paid to today's market value of $13 a share.

Assume Delta goes bankrupt and owes $450,000 more in debts than the firm can pay after liquidating all of its assets, the maximum loss per share Art will incur on this investment will be the purchase price per share which was given in the question as $12.

This is because when a firm guess bankrupt, the maximum loss which will be incurred by Art will be the value of his investment which is $12.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: option C

Explanation: THIS CAN BE REPRESENTED AS FOLLOWS :-

If we eliminate the product there would be no sales, no variable expenses and therefore, no contribution.

  sales                    = nil

-variable expenses= <u>nil</u>

contribution              = nil

- fixed expenses      = <u>56,000</u>

NET LOSS              = <u> (56000)</u>

.

NOTE :-

Fixed expense = (140,000)*(40%)= 56,000

.

.

Thus increase in loss would be 56000- 50,000=6000
