in 1 month. The mall's owner plans to sell the property in a year and wants rent at that time to be high so that the property will appear more valuable. Therefore, the store has been offered amiddot"great deal" (owner's words) on a new 5-year lease. The new lease calls for no rent for 9 months, then payments of $2, 700 per month for the next 51 months. The lease cannot be broken, and the store's WACC is 12% (or 1% per month)

b. If the store owner decided to bargain with the mall's owner over the new lease payment, what new lease payment would make the store owner indifferent between the new and the old leases? Round your answer to the nearest cent. Do not round your intermediate calculations. $ _____
c. The store owner is not sure of the 12% WACC - it could be higher or lower. At what nominal WACC would the store owner be indifferent between the two leases? Do not round your intermediate calculations. ____ %

The answer is: D) Risk is a measure of the uncertainty surrounding the return that an investment will earn.

Explanation:

Investment risk refers to the probability of losing an investment.  It measures the uncertainty level of earning returns from an investment.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Emerald’s deduction for organizational expenditures is = $4550

Explanation:

given data

Expenses of temporary director and organizational meeting is = $27,000

Fee paid to state of incorporation = 1,000

Accounting services incident = 15,500

Legal services = 9,500

Expenses incident printing and sale = 6,000

to find out

Emerald deduction for organizational expenditures

solution

first we get here total Qualifying organizational expenditures that is

total Qualifying organizational expenditures  = $27,000 + $1,000 + $15,500 + $9,500

total Qualifying organizational expenditures  = $53000

and Immediate expensing will be as

Immediate expensing = $5000 - ($53000 - $50000)

Immediate expensing = $2000

so now we get here Emerald Corporation deduction under §248 for 2018 is

Amortization = \frac{$53000-$2000}{180} × 9  

here tax in year = 9 month

Amortization = $2550

Emerald’s deduction for organizational expenditures is = $2550 + $2000

Emerald’s deduction for organizational expenditures is = $4550

Jorge and Anita, married taxpayers, earn $142,000 in taxable income and $49,000 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Jorge and Anita

Their marginal tax rate on their income is 24%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Taxable income = $142,000

Interest from municipal bonds = $49,000

Additional taxable income = $104,500

Total taxable income:

Taxable income = $142,000

Additional taxable income = $104,500

Total = $246,500

Their joint  income is within the $165,601 - $315,000 band, which attracts 24% marginal tax rate.

b) Note that income from investing in municipal bonds is generally exempt from Federal and state taxes, especially for residents of the issuing state, except capital gains attributed to the investment.
