Answer:
a. Is Catherine eligible for the foreign income exclusion for 2020?
Yes
b. Catherine may exclude <u>$45,104</u> from her gross income for 2020.
Explanation:
In order for Catherine to qualify for the foreign income exclusion, she must have lived in a foreign country for at least 1 one (physical presence test). She lived for more than 1 year if we combine her residence in Germany and Slovenia.
The foreign income exclusion amount for 2020 is $107,600, and Catherine can exclude up to (153 days / 365 days) x $107,600 = $45,103.56 ≈ $45,104.
Answer:
Cumulative net present value of the project is:
= $33.5 million.
The discounted cash flow rate of return is:
= 26%
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The capital cost of the combined heat and power system = $23 million
Expected net savings per year = $10 million
Project period = 10 years
Discount rate = 12%
Annuity PV factor for 10 years at 12% = 5.650
Total PV of the cash flows = $56.5 million (5.650 * $10 million)
NPV of the project = $33.5 million
Annualized NPV = $33.5 million/5.650
= $5,929,204
Discounted cash flow rate of return = Annualized NPV/Investment * 100
= $5,929,204/$23,000,000 * 100 = 26%
Answer:
The firm should increase output and reduce price
Explanation:
For a monopolist, there can be one of the following three scenarios at a time point in time:
Scenario one, MR = MC: For a monopolist, profit is maximized at the point where marginal revenue (MR) is equal to to marginal cost (MC), i.e. where MR = MC.
Scenario two, MR < MC: But when the MR < MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a higher quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to reduce output until MR = MC.
Scenario three , MR > MC: But when the MR > MC, it indicates that the monopolist is currently producing a lower quantity of output and it is not maximizing profit. In order to maximize profit, the monopolist has to increase output until MR = MC. Also, the monopolist has to reduce price in order to sell the increased quantity of output.
From the question, the monopolist falls into scenerio three as MR > MC, i.e. $45 > $35. Therefore, the monopolist should increase output until MR = MC and reduce price in order to maximize profit.
Answer:
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Explanation:
<em>Geometric average return</em>
This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .
Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility
The formula below
Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n
Geometric Average return =
(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168
Geometric return =0.0923
× 100= 9.23%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Average rate of return
<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>
Average return = sum of return / No of returns
(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17
%
Average rate of return= 10.17
%
Geometric return = 9.23%
Of the options given, the most likely member of a utilitarian organization is<u> a. </u><u>Angela</u><u>, who works as a </u><u>lawyer </u><u>at a </u><u>prestigious law firm </u><u>and </u><u>earns $60,000 annually.</u>
A utilitarian organization is one where:
- Employees receive some sort of compensation for their work
- Employees are usually contracted to a company to provide a certain service
Angela is receiving a compensation of $60,000 annually and is a lawyer which means that they are probably contracted to the law firm.
We can therefore conclude that Angela is working for a utilitarian organization based on the fact that there is compensation and contract.
