Answer:

2.94%

Explanation:

Real Rate of Return is the actual rate of return that an investor gets from investment excluding any inflation effect.

Present Value = PV  = $1,200

Future Value = FV = $1,260

Numbers of period = n = 1 year

Use Following Formula to calculate the nominal Interest rate

FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n

$1,260 = $1,200 x ( 1 + r )

$1,260 / $1,200 = 1+r

1.05 = 1 + r

r = 1.05 - 1 = 0.05 = 5%

As the 5% is the Nominal Interest rate

we Will Use the Fisher Effect formula to calculate the real Interest rate

1 + Nominal Interest Rate = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + Inflation Rate )

1 + 5% = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + 2% )

1 + 0.05 = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x ( 1 + 0.02 )

1.05 = ( 1 + Real Interest Rate ) x 1.02

1 + Real Interest Rate  = 1.05 / 1.02

1 + Real Interest Rate = 1.0294

Real Interest Rate = 1.0294 - 1

Real Interest Rate = 0.0294 = 2.94%

Answer:

Real rate of interest  =2.9%

Explanation:

The fishers' equation expresses the relationship between nominal interest rate , real interest rate and the inflation rate

<em>The nominal rate of interest </em>

= (1260/1200 - 1) × 100

= 5%

The fisher's equation is given as

(I+N) = (1+R)(1+F)

N- Nominal rate of interest

R- Real rate of interest

F- Inflation rate

<em>Real rate of Interest</em>

= (1+N)/(1+F) - 1

= 1.05/(1.02) -1

=2.9%

Last year, Cayman Corporation had sales of $7,000,000, total variable costs of $3,000,000, and total fixed costs of $1,500,000.
UNO [17]

Answer:

b. 13.9%

Explanation:

sales                   7,000,000

variable cost   <u>  (3,000,000)  </u>

contribution       4,000,000

fixed cost           (1,500,000)

interest              <u>   (480,000)  </u>

EBT                     2,020,000

tax expense          (707,000)

net income           1,313,000

contribution margin 4,000,000 / 7,000,000 = 4/7

if sales increase by 7%:

7,000,000 x 0.07 x 4/7 x (1- 0.35) = 182,000

income after increase in sales: 1,313,000 + 182,000 = 1,495,000

increase in earnings: 1,495,000 / 1,313,000 - 1 = 0.138613861 = 13.9%

Which is the shortest and simplest tax form?
AfilCa [17]

Filling out a tax form is about as much fun as owing taxes to Uncle Sam. The complexity of the task intensifies as your tax life becomes more complicated.

That's why you should use the simplest tax return form you can, especially if you're still filling out your forms by hand.

But choose carefully. There are three personal income tax forms -- 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ -- with each designed to get the appropriate amount of your money to the IRS. Differences in the forms, however, could cost you if you're not paying attention.

The EZ is the shortest and simplest form, Form 1040A is a bit more complex and the long Form 1040 is the most detailed and potentially difficult. But even if your tax life is simple and straightforward, it might be worthwhile to investigate the other two forms. Why? Generally, the longer the form, the more opportunities for tax breaks.
