Answer:

$500 gain and $185 tax

Explanation:

Sale of share = No. of  NQOs × No. of shares  × Selling price per share

                      = 10 × 10 × $20

                      = $2,000

Basis = No. of  NQOs × No. of shares  × share price @$15

         = 10 × 10 × $15

         = $1,500

Gain realised = Sale of share - Basis

                      = $2,000 - $1,500

                      = $500

The tax is calculated as follows:

= Gain realised × marginal tax rate

= $500 × 37%

= $185

Answer:

B) The public is wary of sharing confidential information after a recent spate of credit card scandals.

Explanation:

There are several advantages of click-only companies, especially that they are able to offer lower prices since they don't need to support the costs of brick-and-mortar stores.

But the whole idea of selling through the internet is based on the customers' trust on new technologies and they specially dislike when the new technologies fail, e.g. when a hacker discloses the accounts and passwords of millions of users.

Cost is most plainly visible when spending more money on one thing means that less money can be spent on another thing. True or
SSSSS [86.1K]

The given statement about cost is a true statement as cost becomes most obvious when more money must be spent on one thing, leaving less available for another.

<h3>What is the cost?</h3>

A cost is often the value of the money that was expended during the production or delivery of something or service and is now unavailable for use.

Manufacturing, research, retail, and accountancy all make use of this idea. In business transactions, the cost may be an acquisition cost, in which case the amount of money spent to acquire it is considered to be part of the cost.

Finally, cost becomes most apparent when more money spent on one thing leaves less money for another. This corresponds to a true statement.

As a result, opportunity cost describes a decision we must make in order to make another one.

You have $50, for instance, which you may spend on a date with your partner or on your preferred game. The inability to purchase the game is your opportunity cost if you decide to utilize that money to take your partner out on a date.

A 5-year corporate bond yields 9.70%. A 5-year municipal bond of equal risk yields 6.5%. Assume that the state tax rate is zero.
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

c. 32.99%

Explanation:

Risk yield = bond yield*(1 - Federal tax rate)

    6.50% = 9.70%*(1 - Federal tax rate)

1 - Federal tax rate = 6.50%/9.70%

Federal tax rate = 1 - 6.50%/9.70%

                           = 32.99%

Therefore, The federal tax rate that you are indifferent between the two bonds is 32.99%

Answer:

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%

Explanation:

Inflation is the increase in the general price level. Inflation erodes the value of money.

Consumer Price Index(CPI ): This is the weighted average price of a basket of goods and services consumed by a typical consumer. It is used to measure the rate of inflation.

The increase in the CPI is taken to be the rate of inflation. For example, the CPI rose to 1.09 from 1.00, this implies an inflation rate of 9% within the time period in focus.

The CPI =

The price of a basket of goods in a current  year ÷ Divided by the price of a basket of goods in  a base year

The consumer price

Value of basket of goods in 2019 = (1000× $2)  + (100× $50) + ( 500× $0.10)= 7050

Value of basket of goods in 2020= (1000× $2.50)  + (100× $75) + ( 500× $$0.12)=10,060

CPI in 2020 = 10,060/7050× 100 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

The inflation rate =(142.7/100-1 ) × 100 = 42.7%

Note , we assume the CPI for 2019 is 100, since we were not provided with data to compute the price of a basket of good in 2018

CPI in 2020 =142.7

CPI in 2019 = 100

Inflation rate = 42.7%
