Answer:

Projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000

Explanation:

The accept-or-reject rule, using the IRR method, is to acceptthe project if its Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is higher than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital(k) [r>k]. The project shall berejected if its internal rate of return is e lower than theWeighted Average Cost of Capital cost of (r<k)

                                 Accept if        r>k

                                 Reject if         r<k

                                   Mayaccept if r = k

If the Weighted Average Cost of Capitl (WACC) is less than IRRrate, then the project has positive NPV; if it is equal to IRR, theproject has a Zero NPV, and if it is greater than the IRR, theproject has negative NPV.

The projects should be accepted as the rate of return on theproject is higher than the WACC(10.8%) which means that theprojects will be profitable as the returns are higher than the costof the project (capital).  Considering this projects E,F and G should NOT be considered.

And considering the sizes the Optimal Capital  is $5,750,000 (the addition of sizes of all projects)

Jeremy earned $100,000 in salary and $6,000 in interest income during the year. Jeremy’s employer withheld $11,200 of federal in
iragen [17]

Answer:

Tax Due by Jeremy is $218

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate Jeremy's total Income

$100,000 (Salary) + $6,000 (Interest Income) + $4,000 (long term capital gain)=  $110,000

Jeremy's exclusion at this point is 0.

Therefore, Jeremy's Gross income = $110,000, This is also Jeremy's Adjusted Gross Income (AGI).

Step 2: Calculate Taxable Income after deductions.

AGI= $110,000

Deductions from AGI= $23,000 (The greater of standard or itemized deduction).

Qualified Business Income Deductions (QBI)= $0 (Jeremy did not declare any personal business).

Taxable Income= AGI-Deductions- QBI Deductions

= $110,000-$23,000-0

= $87,000

Step 3: Calculate Jeremy's Tax Liability as follows:

Capital Gain is included as part of Gross Income, therefore finding the tax liability will necesitate that the capital gain be deducted and only the taxable percentage be added back.

Jeremy's tax liability = (87,000-4,000) + (4,000 x 0.15)

= ($83,000 x 15.4%) + 600

=$12,818 + 600

=$13,418

Jeremy's total tax Liability= $13,418 - $0 (non refundable tax credit) + 0 (other taxes)

Jeremy's total tax liability = $13,418

The total tax payment made by Jeremy

=(2,000 + 11,200)= $13,200

Therefore the tax due by Jeremy is Total Tax Liability - Tax Payment mande

= $13,418 - $13,200

= $218
