Chuck Marginal Tax Rate
a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:
= $75,000 + $40,000

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.
It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.

A.Computation of the earnings per share for the year 20X
Using this formula
Earnings per Share=Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding
Let plug in the formula
900,000/301,000
=$2.99
The earnings per share for 20X1 will be $2.99
B. Computation of the earnings per share for the year 201X
Earnings after Taxes= 301,000 * 1.28 = 385,280
Shares Outstanding=301,000 + 32,000 = 333,000
Hence,
Earnings after Taxes/Shares Outstanding
385,280 / 333,000 = $1.15
Therefore the earnings per share for 20X1 will
be $1.15 .
Answer:
1.
- The firm increases its dividend payout ratio.
This will increase the need for external funds because with more funds going towards dividends, there will be less funds available to fund operations. The company will therefore be more probable of being in need of Additional funds.
- The firm’s inventory turnover decreases, with no effect on the sales forecast.
If the firm's inventory turnover increases, it means that the firm is taking longer to sell off inventory. This will mean that the company will have to invest more in working capital to maintain these inventory levels. This will lead to a higher probability of them needing additional funds.
2. Yes, dividends still affect a firm’s AFN even though they are paid out of after-tax earnings.
Even though they are paid after-tax, they still eat into the funds that the business can be able to set aside to fund operations. So when dividends are paid, the need for AFN increases as well.
Answer:
True, but it applies to everyone in the organization.
Explanation:
Modern companies can only be successful if every single employee works as a team member, since competition keeps increasing and customers' expectations keep rising.
Every single role within an organization is important. Can supply chain professionals distribute a product that doesn't exist (wasn't manufactured on time)? Could they distribute a product that no one wants to buy (marketing and sales are extremely important also)? Could anyone work if the finance department couldn't do its job and there was no money in the company?
We tend to believe that what we do is extremely important and difficult to do, and other people have it easier because their are simpler than ours. But that is just nonsense. Once I heard a quarterback talking about who was the most important player in a football team, and his answer really surprised me, "Quarterbacks fill stadiums, but defenses earn championships". On a team no one is more important, the chain breaks on its weakest link.
