Answer:

The real estate should charge $1,300 to obtain maximum profit.

Explanation:

We can make K to represent the number of unit apartment occupied.

This means that the total rent the real estate office is getting can be denoted by;

{(550 + 25(80 - K)} K - 50K

Maximizing the above equation, we have;

y = 550K + 2,000K - 25K^2 - 50K

Collect like terms

= 2,500K - 25K^2

y' = (2,500K - 25K^2)' = 2,500 - 50K

y = 0

2,500 - 50K = 0

2,500 = 50K

K= 50

Rent is therefore;

Rent = 550 + (80 - K)25, where K is 50

= 550 + (80 - 50)25

= 550 + (30)25

= 550 + 750

= $1,300

Determine the amount of tax liability in the following situations. In all cases, the taxpayer is using the filing status of marr
Lisa [10]

Answer:

a. $8,361

b. $1,2610

c. 26,564

d. 5,427

e. 59,883

Explanation:

a.

Taxable Income = $62,449 - $560

= $61,889

Finding the tax liability in tables:

Tax on 61,889

= [1,845 +(61,889 - 18,450) × 15%]

= 1,845 + 6,516

= 8,361

Subtracting or Deducting the tax on the dividend income

= $560 × 0%

= 0

Therefore, the tax liability is $8,361

b.

Taxable Income = $12,932 - $322

= $12,610

Tax liability is $1,2610

c.

Taxable income = $144,290 - $4,384

= $139,906

Tax will be:

= 1,845 (74,900 - 18,450) × 15% + (139,906 - 74,900) × 25%

= 1,845 + 8,467.5 + 16,251.5

= $26,564

d.

Taxable income = $43,297 - $971

= $42,326

Tax liability will be:

= [1,845 + (42,326 - 18,450) × 15%

= 1,845 + 3,581.4

= 5,427

e.

Taxable income = $262,403 - $12,396

= $250,007

Tax on the qualified income will be:

= $12,396 × 15%

= $1,859.4

Tax liability will be:

= 1,845 {74,900 - 18,450) × 15% + (151,200 - 74,900) × 25% + (230,450 - 151,200) × 28% + (250,007 - 230,450) × 33%

= 1,845 + 8,460 + 19,075 + 22,190 + 6,453.81

= $58,024

Total tax liability will be:

= $58,024 + $1,860

= $59,883

Note: The values are taken from the tax liability table.

cattle farmer expects to harvest 100K live cattle, there is a futures contract for delivery of 40k cattle. Explain how farmer ca
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The question does not mention when does the farmer has to sell the cattles in the future. So assuming the cattles are to be sold in the next 3 months.

The farmer can short 3 contracts that have 3 months to maturity. Two contracts would be of the 40k cattles whereas one of 20k.

Explanation:

When the prices of the cattles falls in the future, the gain on the futures contract will offset the loss on the sale of the cattle. Whereas, when the prices of cattle rises in the future, the gain on the sale of the cattle will be offset by the loss on the futures contract.

So basically, using futures contracts to hedge has the advantage that it can at no cost reduce risk to almost zero.
