Answer:

<em>d. regressive tax.</em>

Explanation:

Because as we can see on the given statements that lower income people come to buy grocery than the higher income people, so the 10-cent fee for disposable bags will come under regressive tax, as we know that regressive tax is a tax in which is taken or collected largely from the lower income people than the higher income people.

<em>So, the correct option will be OPTION (d).</em>

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The price of the stock today will be $66.19

Explanation:

To calculate the price of a stock whose dividends will grow at a constant rate forever is calculated using the constant growth model of dividend discount model approach. To calculate the price of the stock today using this model, we use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / r - g

We will first calculate the price of the stock at t=8 using D9 because we use the next period's dividend to calculate the price of a stock. We will then discount back the price at t=8 to today's price.

P8 = 14.25 * (1+0.06)  /  (0.14 - 0.06)

P8 = $188.8125

The price of the stock today will be,

P0 = 188.8125 / (1+0.14)^8

P0 = $66.189 rounded off to $66.19

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

You anticipate that you will have $432,522 in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution.

Explanation:

To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the future value (FV) and FV of ordinary annuity as appropriate as given below:

FVd = D * (1 + r)^n ......................................................................... (1)

FVo = P * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] ÷ r} ...................... (2)

Where,

FVd = Future value of initial deposit or balance amount as the case may be = ?

FVo = FV of ordinary annuity starting from a particular year = ?

D = Initial deposit = $5,000

P = Annual deposit =s $500

r = Average annual return = 12%, or 0.12

n = number years = to be determined as necessary

a) FV in five years from now

n = 5 for FVd

n = 4 for FVo

Substituting the values into equations (1) and (2), we have:

FVd = $5,000 * (1 + 0.12)^5 = $8,812

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^4 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $2,390

FV5 = Total FV five years from now = $8,812 + $2,390 = $11,201

FVB5 = Balance after $5,000 withdrawal  in year 5 = $11,201 - $5,000 = $6,201.

b) FV in 10 years from now

n = 10 - 5 = 5 for both FVd and FVo

Using equations (1) and (2), we have:

FV of FVB5 = $6,201 * (1 + 0.12)^5 = $10,928

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^5 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $3,176

FV10 = Total FV 10 years from now = $10,928 + $3,176 = $14,104

FVB10 = Balance after $10,000 withdrawal  in year 10 = $14,104 - $10,000 = $4,104

c) FV in 45 years from now

n = 45 - 10 = 35 for both FVd and FVo

Using equations (1) and (2), we have:

FV of FVB10 = $4,104 * (1 + 0.12)^35 = $216,690

FVo = $500 * {[(1 + 0.12)^35 - 1] ÷ 0.12} = $215,832

FV45 = Total FV 45 years from now = $216,690 + $215,832 = $432,522

Conclusion

Therefore, you anticipate that you will have $432,522 in the account on your 65th birthday, following your final contribution.
