Answer:

A tax rate of 10.71% should make both both indifferent for investors.

Explanation:

the municipal bonds are income-tax free so we should solve for the tax rate which makes both bonds equaly attractive.

0.075 = after-tax rate

0.084 = pre-tax rate

pre-tax (1- t) = after-tax\\0.084 (1-t) = 0.075\\1 - t = 0.075 \div 0.084\\t = 1 - 0.075 \div 0.084\\t = 0.10714285

A tax rate of 10.71% should make both both indifferent for investors.

Mark Johnson saves a fixed percentage of his salary at the end of each year. This year he saved $2,000. For each of the next 5 y
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

$17,437.28

Explanation:

First of all, let us lay out the particulars that will aid us in our calculations:

Amount saved in year 1 = $2000

Number of years saved in total = 6 years

annual rate of savings increase = 10% increase on the amount for that year to the next year

Annual return on investment = 13%.

Next, let us calculate the 10% increase in savings from years 2 to 6.

Year 1 investment = $ 2000

Year 2 investment = Year 1 saving + 10% of year one saving

hence, investment 2 saving = 2000 + (10/100 × 2000) = 2000 + (0.1 × 2000)

Year 2 investment = 2000 +200 = $2,200.

Year 3 investment = year 2 saving + (0.1 × year 2 saving) = 2200 + (0.1 × 2200)

year 3 investment = 2200 + 220 = $2,420

Year 4 investment = 2420 + (0.1 × 2420) = 2420 + 242 = $2,662

Year 5 investment = 2662 + (0.1 × 2662) = 2662 + 266.2 = $2928.2

Year 6 investment = 2928.2 + (0.1 × 2928.2) = 2928.2 + 292.82 = $3,221.02

Next, let us create a table to show the total amount for each year.

Note, to determine the 13% annual investment return on each year:

13% = 13/100 = 0.13. So, we will multiply the investment for each year with 0.13 to get the annual investment. It is shown hence:

Year   Investment (I) ($)   Annual return (AR) ($)    Total amount (I + AR) ($)

1             2000                   260                                     2260

2            2200                   286                                     2486

3            2420                   314.6                                   2734.6

4            2662                   346.06                               3008.06

5            2928.2                380.67                               3308.87

6            3221.02               418.73                                3639.75

Total                                                                             17,437.28    

                     

Therefore, at the end of 6 years mark would have $17,437.28 (approx. $17,437)

Suppose a basket of goods and services has been selected to calculate the CPI and 2012 has been selected as the base year. In 20
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer: 2016 CPI is 110

Explanation:

Given the following :

Base year = 2012

Cost of basket in 2012 = $50

Cost of basket in 2014 = $52

Coat of basket in 2016 = $55

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated using the formula :

CPI = (weighted cost item in current period / weighted cost of item in base period) × 100

Base period / year = 2012

Current period = 2016

Therefore, 2016 CPI equals;

($55 / $50) × 100

= 110
