Answer:

The after-tax cost of debt : 3.90%.

Explanation:

The semi-annual coupon = 1,000 x 5% /2 = $25.

The before-tax cost of debt, denoted as i, is the yield to maturity of the company's debt, which is calculated as below:

(25/i) x [1 - (1+i)^-40] + 1,000/(1+i)^40 = 854 <=> i = 3.147%.

=> Because the debt is semi-annual compounded, we have the: Effective annual rate = Before-tax cost of debt =  ( 1+ 3.147%)^2 -1 = 6.39%.

=> After tax cost of debt = Before tax cost of debt x ( 1 - tax rate) = 6.39% x ( 1 - 0.39) = 3.90%.

So, the answer is 3.90%.

If ten years ago the price of a movie ticket was $5 and the average hourly wage was $10, and today the price of a movie ticket i
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

It means movies are relatively cheaper than working hours

Explanation:

In order to estimate the relativity of the two activities, there is a need to compare the changes over ten years

1. 10 years ago, Movie ticket= $5, 10 Years later Movie ticket= $8, the 10 year difference is $3

2. 10 years ago, average hourly wage = $10, 10 years later, average hourly wage = $20, the 10 year difference is $10

First, it means for the $3 change in movie ticket cost, there was a $10 change in the average hourly wage.

Put differently, while movie ticket got a 60% increase in price 3/5 x 100=60%

Average hourly wage got 100% increase  10/10 x 100= 100%

It means that working hours got more expensive and movie tickets got cheaper

FICA taxes payable credit 900

FUTA payable credit 32
