Answer:

The manager should pick project B

Explanation:

To determine what decision the manager should make, the NPV of both projects should be calculated.

Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

NPV for project A

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-335,000

year 1 = $140,000

year 2 = $150,000

year 3 = $100,000

I = 6%

NPV= $14,536.87

NPV for project B

Cash flows:

Year 0 = $-365,000

year 1 = $220,000

year 2 = $110,000

year 3 = $150,000

I = 6%

NPV= $66,389.67

Both projects are profitable but because the firm uses capital rationing , the manager has to pick the now profitbale project, which is project B.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

total taxable income = $73,000

tax liability = $7,505

Explanation:

Clarice's ordinary income $30,000

Clarice's capital gains:

  • selling of stock = $34,000 - $16,000 = $18,000
  • selling of coin collection = $55,000 - $30,000 = $25,000
  • total long term capital gains = $43,000

Clarice's taxable income = $73,000

Clarice's ordinary income tax rate 2011:

ordinary income = $30,000 - standard deduction $5,800 = $24,200

  • 10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,500  = $850
  • 15% on taxable income over $8,500 to $34,500 = $2,355

ordinary income taxes = $3,205

Clarice's capital gains tax rate 2011 = 10%

capital gains taxes = $43,000 x 10% = $4,300

total tax liability = $7,505
