5 0

Answer: Both of them

Explanation:

The Monte Carlo Simulation is a forecasting technique that allows one to find out the probability of occurence of different outcomes which may be difficult to come up with because there are multiple random variables involved.

Monte Carlo simulations are used in many diverse fields such as Finance, Engineering and Science.

As earlier mentioned, this simulation allows for multiple random variables so Phillips can use it to model both the variables to have different characteristics.

Suppose a State of California bond will pay $1,000 eight years from now. If the going interest rate on these 8-year bonds is 5.5
aksik [14]

Answer:

The bond is worth $651.59 today

Explanation:

FV = $1000

N = 8

I/Y = 5.5%

Present Value = ?

PV = FV*(1+r)^(-n)

PV =  $1000 * (1 + 0.055)^-8

PV =  $1000 * (1.055)^-8

PV =  $1000 * 0.651599

PV = $651.59

Swan Corporation makes a property distribution on 12/31/13 to its sole shareholder, Matthew. The property distributed is a cotta
ra1l [238]

Answer:

What is Swan’s taxable gain on the distribution of the cottage?

Fair market value of property = 200000

Less: adjusted basis of property= 115000(150000-35000)

Taxable gain on distribution = 85000

What is Swan's current E&P after the distribution on 12/31/13?

Swans current E&P = 300000

Add: taxable gain on distribution = 85000

Less: distribution made = 165000(200000-35000)

After distribution E&P = 220000

What is the taxable dividend to the shareholder (if any)?

Taxable dividend to shareholders = 200000-35000 = 165000

What is the shareholder's basis in the cottage?

Shareholders basis is FMV of property i.e. 200000

Suppose a government has no debt and a balanced budget. Suddenly it decides to spend $4 trillion while raising only $3 trillion
Nady [450]

Answer:

$40 billion

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount spend by government = $4 trillion

Amount raised by Taxes = $3 trillion

Interest rate = 4%

Now,

The bonds to be raised by the government

= Amount spend by government - Amount raised by Taxes

= $4 trillion - $3 trillion

= $1 trillion

or

= $1000 billion

Therefore,

The interest paid by the government each year

= Amount of bonds × Interest rate

= $1000 billion × 0.04

= $40 billion
