Answer: 25%

Explanation:

Municipal bonds are tax-free which means that the tax bracket that would make you indifferent between the 2 bonds would be the one that brings the after-tax yield on the taxable bond to the same yield as the Municipal bond.

Assume this tax rate to be x.

8% * ( 1 - x) = 6%

8% - 0.08x = 6%

0.08x = 8% - 6%

x = (8% - 6%) / 0.08

x = 25%

Michael Barry, Attorney, P.C. began the year with total assets of $126,000, liabilities of $74,000, and stockholders’ equity of
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The expenses can be recorded as follows;

Debit to the expenses of $33,000 and a credit to the cash account of $33,000.

Explanation:

The accounting equation is an equation that tends to balance a company's assets on one side and the sum of its liabilities and shareholders equity on the opposite side of the equation. It form the basis for the double-entry system in accounting that includes an accounts debit and credit. The debit is a sum to an amount that is owed, it is usually listed on the left hand-side of an account while the credit is a listing of a sum that is received usually on the right hand side of an account.

In the case of Michael Barry, the accounting equation;

Assets=liabilities+stockholders equity

Assets=$126,000

Liabilities=$74,000

Stockholders equity=$52,000

liabilities+stockholders equity=74,000+52,000=$126,000

The assets equals the sum of the liabilities and stockholders equity.

To record expenses paid of $33,000;

                            Debit           Credit

Expenses          $33,000

Cash                                       $33,000

Assets Current assets $38,000,000 Net plant, property, and equipment $101,000,000 Total assets $139,000,000 Liabilities and Equi
Reil [10]

Answer:

9.73%

Explanation:

the market value of equity = 10,000,000 stocks x $15 = $150,000,000

the market value of debt = 40,000 bonds x $1,150 = $46,000,000

total = $196,000,000

weight of equity = 0.7653

weight of debt = 0.2347

Re = 3.5% + [1.35 x (0.115 - 0.055)] = 0.035 + 0.081 = 0.116

cost of debt = ytm = {36.25 + [(1,000 - 1,150)/40]} /  [(1,000 + 1,150)/2] = (36.25 - 3.75) / 1,075 = 32.50 / 1,075 = 0.03023 x 2 = 0.0605

after tax cost of debt = 0.0605 x (1 - 40%) = 0.0363

WACC = (0.116 x 0.7653) + (0.0363 x 0.2347) = 0.09729 = 9.73%

Why do most economists believe that it is important for a country’s central bank be independent of the rest of the country’s cen
ohaa [14]

Answer:

For economists is important to avoid political interferance in the monetary policy. Populist governments often use the creation of money to justify their political programs, causing inflation and distortions on the market.

In the last report of FOMC is highlighted the behaviour of market labour and the lower expectations of inflation.

Explanation:

There are two tools commonly used in political economy to finance government programs: taxation and paper currency print. When the central bank is not independent, the government has an incentive to print money to fund their programs, causing inflation. In economic science has been demonstrated that inflation is always caused by monetary phenomena.
