Answer:

Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%

Explanation:

marginal tax rate = MTR

After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%

The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%

Therefore,

6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)

6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR

6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR

-0.051 = -0.12*MTR

MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425

MTR = 42.5%

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Quarterly dividend = $0.85

Explanation:

Shares are instruments that are used to obtain funds by businesses. Buyers of shares get ownership of part of the company in exchange for their money invested.

As a way to motivate investors to buy, companies quote a dividend payout to investors.

In the given scenario the dividend yield is 4% on a $85 stock

The yield is yearly

Yearly dividend = $85 * 0.04 = $3.4

We are required to get the quarterly dividend

Quarterly dividend = 3.4 ÷ 4

Quarterly dividend = $0.85

ratelena [41]

Answer:

Option B-Consolidation used for both Sell and Vane.

Explanation:

Both of the companies must be consolidated because the parent company controls both of the company and according to International Financial Reporting Standard, the companies that the parent company directly controls (75% ownership of Sell Inc. and 75% control) or indirectly controls (75%*60%= 45% ownership of Vane Inc. and 60% control of the company) must be consolidated. Here Penn Inc. controls both the subsidairies Sell Incorporation and Vane Incorporation, so they must be consolidated to group accounts.
