Answer:
Comer's tax liability for 2018 = $33300
Explanation:
Before determining Comer's tax liability for 2018, we need to understand what gross income is and what forms part of gross income. Gross income is total amount of income from various sources minus/plus and additions and deductions. Income from salary is earned in the ordinary course of work/business which is definitely part of gross income. Capital gain is refers to gain/profit/income from sale of capital assets such as property, shares, stocks, piece of land. Any gains and losses form part of gross income and capital losses are reported as deductions meant to reduce investors tax liability just as capital gains should be taxed.
Lets first calculate gross income and then apply tax rate to determine tax liability.
Gross income = salary + Short-term & long-term capital gains - short-term & long-term capital losses
GI = $64000 + $31000 + $9000+$15000 -$2000 -$6000
GI = $111000
Assuming the tax rate is 30%, the tax liability for the year is as follows:
Tax liability = $111000×30%
Tax liability = $33300

Answer:
Project's WACC = 12.95%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the cost of a firm's capital structure. The capital structure of a firm may contain one or all of the following components - debt, preferred stock, common stock. For a firm with two components in capital structure in form of debt and equity, the WACC is calculated as follows,
WACC = wD * rD * (1+tax rate) + wE* rE
Where,
- wD and wE are the weights of debt and equity in the total capital structure
- rD and rE are the cost of each component
- We multiply the cost of debt by 1 - tax rate to calculate the after tax cost of debt
We must first determine the weight of debt and equity in total capital structure.
A debt to equity ratio of 0.64 means 0.64 debt for every 1 dollar of equity. The total assets are made up of debt + equity. So, total assets are 0.64 + 1 = 1.64
Weight of debt = 0.64 / 1.64 = 16/41
Weight of equity = 1 / 1.64 = 25/41
WACC = 16/41 * 0.053 + 25/41 * 0.149
WACC = 0.1115 or 11.15%
The projects cost of capital is 1.8% more than the company's WACC.
So, the project's cost of capital is,
Project's WACC = 11.15% + 1.8%
Project's WACC = 12.95%
Answer:
$51,608.69
Explanation:
Given that
Interest rate = 5%
Future value = $85,000
Time period = 10 years
So by considering the above information, the Present value is
= Future value ÷ (1 + interest rate)^time period
where,
Future value = $85,000
Interest rate = 5% ÷ 12 months = 0.4166%
Time period = 10 years × 12 months = 120 months
Now the present value is
= $85,000 ÷ (1 + 0.4166%)^120
= $51,608.69
