Answer:

The Earned Income credit

Explanation:

Many economists choose the earned income credit (EIC) over the increase in minimum wage because it avoids deadweight losses. Deadweight losses results when supply are demand are not in equilibrium (Market Inefficiency). Increases in minimum wages invariably leads to increase in prices of market goods which are overpriced. This leads to market Inefficiency.

So in trying to help low income earners, many economists choose the EIC over just increasing minimum wage.

The earned Income Credit helps certain tax payers with low incomes from work in a particular tax year. It reduces the amount of tax owed and may result in a refund to the tax payers if the amount of credit is greater than the amount of tax owed.

Answer:

1.What is the dividend for the 1st year?

$2.67

2.What is the dividend for the 2nd year?

$3.31

3.What is the dividend for the 3rd year?

$3.90

4.What is the dividend for the 4th year?

$4.60

5.What is the dividend for the 5th year?

$5.43

6.Compute the present value of these dividends if the required rate of return is 14 percent.

1. $2.34

2. $2.54

3. $2.63

4. $2.73

5. $2.82

Explanation:

Last Dividend paid = $2.15

Growth rate:

First two years = 24%

Following three years = 18%

FV of Dividend = PV ( 1 + g )^n

1.

Dividend for the 1st year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^1 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^1 = $2.67

2.

Dividend for the 2nd year = $2.15 x ( 1 + 24% )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1 + 0.24 )^2 = $2.15 x ( 1.24 )^2 = $3.31

3.

Dividend for the 3rd year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^1 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^1 = $3.90

4.

Dividend for the 4th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^2 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^2 = $4.60

5.

Dividend for the 5th year = $3.31 x ( 1 + 18% )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1 + 0.18 )^3 = $3.31 x ( 1.18 )^3 = $5.43

6.The present value of these dividends

Present value of dividends can be calculated by following formula:

PV  = FV / ( 1 + r )^n

FV = Dividend for the year

r = rate of return = 14%

n = number of years

1.      PV = $2.98 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^1 = $2.98 / ( 1.14 )^1 = $2.98 / 1.14 = $2.34

2.      PV = $3.31 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^2 = $3.31 / ( 1.14 )^2 = $3.31 / 1.2996 = $2.54

3.      PV = $3.90 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^3 = $3.90 / ( 1.14 )^3 = $3.90 / 1.481544 = $2.63

4.      PV = $4.60 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^4 = $4.60 / ( 1.14 )^4 = $4.60 / 1.68896 = $2.73

5.      PV = $5.43 / ( 1 + 0.14 )^5 = $5.43 / ( 1.14 )^5 = $5.43 / 1.925416 = $2.82

Gertrude takes out a $5,500 subsidized Stafford loan, which must be paid back in ten years. Gertrude will graduate four years af
Sergio [31]

$2,095.30 interest will she pay by the time the loan is repaid

Solution:

The $5,500 guaranteed Stafford loan is taken from Gertrude.

The loan has a monthly compounding interest rate of 6.8 percent.

Price current= $5,500.

Present Value = $5,500

Time period = 10 years

So , N = 10 x 12 = 120 months.

Interest rate, R = 6.8/1200 = 0.005666667

PV = Pmt * [1 - (1+R)^(-N)]/(R)

5500 = Pmt * [1 - (1+0.005666667)^(-120)]/(0.005666667)

Pmt = $63.29418157

She got full refund. = 63.29418157 x 120 = $7,595.30

Interest paid = Total repayment - Loan Principal

                      = $7,595.30 - $5,500

                      = $2,095.30

GalinKa [24]

Answer: B. There are two IRRs so you cannot use the IRR as a criterion for accepting the opportunity.

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return can be useful in capital budgeting to enable a company know if an investment will be profitable. It is defined as the discount rate that causes the Net Present Value(NPV) to be zero. If the IRR is greater than the required return then the project should be accepted as it will have a profitable NPV.

IRR has some problems however and one of them is reflected here. There can sometimes be two IRRs and when this happens, using IRR as a viability measure cannot be done because a single rate is needed for comparison with the required return.
