Answer:

The correct answer to the problem is 7.728%

Explanation:

Lucas marginal tax rate = 32 percent

Tax rate on dividends = 16 percent

Dividend yield of a dividend-paying stock (with no growth potential) = 9.20 percent.

To determine the interest rate a municipal bond have to offer for Lucas to be indifferent between the two investments from a cash flow perspective =

Dividend yield multiplied by ( 1- tax rate on dividends)

= 9.20% × (1 - 16%)

= 0.092 × (1 - 0.16)

= 0.092 × 0.84

= 7.728%

You currently have $5,400. First United Bank will pay you an annual interest rate of 8.9, while Second National Bank will pay yo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Second National  Bank

Present value (PV) = $5,400

Future value (FV) = $13,900

Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10

FV = PV(1 + r)n

$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n    

<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n

$5,400            

2.574074074 = (1.10)n

Log 2.574074074 = n  log 1.10

<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n  

Log 1.10                  

n =  9.9 years      

None of the answers is correct                                                                                                                                                          

Explanation:

In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with  the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied                     by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.

Which do you think is better?/Which do you prefer? FedEx or UPS?
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

I personally like UPS because most of the times I have to send documents or goods domestically and UPS is very well known for its domestics shipments and I also prefer it because of its low rates as compared to FedEx which has higher rates. I am also comfortable with UPS because of its customer services. They respond to your query very quickly and try to resolve it as soon as possible. Their first priority is always their customers.

Which of the following statements regarding PERT analysis is true? a. Each activity has two estimates of its duration. b. Projec
olganol [36]

Answer:

It's c.

Explanation:

Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a method used in program management. It analyzes the time required to complete each task in a project and so tries to determine the minimum time to complete a project. It was developed by the US Navy in 1957.

In PERT analysis:

  • there are 3 time estimates for every activity: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely
  • you have to find the Critical Path. The Critical Path is the longest path of scheduled activities that must be met in order to execute a project.  It is important to know because any problems on the critical path can prevent a project from moving forward and be delayed. Therefore only critical activities can contribute to the project variance.

In January, Stitch, Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,0
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

B. $83,000

Explanation:

Inventory value at adoption = $50,000

Increase in inventory using base year price = $30,000

Current year Price increase = 10%

Increase price = $30,000 + ( $30,000 x 10% )

Increased price inventory = $30,000 + $3,000

Increased price inventory = $33,000

Amount of Inventory reported on balance = Inventory value at adoption + Increase price Inventory

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $50,000 + $33,000

Amount of Inventory to be reported on balance = $83,000
