Anna71 [15]

Answer:

$4,102.57

Explanation:

we must first calculate the future costs of college:

cost of college year 1 = $16,200 x (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $19,747.71

cost of college year 2 = $19,747.71 x 1.02 = $20,142.66

cost of college year 3 = $20,142.66 x 1.02 = $20,545.51

cost of college year 4 = $20,545.51 x 1.02 = $20,956.42

in order to determine how much money does the family need to have before college starts we must discount the cost of college by 7.5%:

PV cost of college year 1 = $19,747.71

PV cost of college year 2 = 20,142.66 / 1.075 = $18,737.36

PV cost of college year 3 = $20,545.51 / 1.075² = $17,778.70

PV cost of college year 4 = $20,956.42 / 1.075³ = $16,869.09

total = $73,132.86

the future value of the grandmother's deposits:

$13,000 x (1 + 7.5%)¹⁴ = $35,781.77

$2,900 x (1 + 7.5%)¹² = $6,907.16

total = $42,688.93

that means that you will need to save $73,132.86 - $42,688.93 = $30,443.93 by the time your child turns 18

you will make 4 deposits and their future value will be:

deposit x 1.075¹⁰ = 2.0610D

deposit x 1.075⁹ = 1.9172D

deposit x 1.075⁸ = 1.7835D

deposit x 1.075⁷ = 1.6590D

total = 7.4207D

yearly deposit = $30,443.93 / 7.4207 = $4,102.57

Mr. Bailey would like to gift $515,000 (FMV) of appreciated property (basis $200,000) to his son. Mr. Bailey doesn't want to use

Oliga [24]

Answer:

He should set a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT).

Explanation:

Mr. Bailey would be the grantor that transfers the asset into the GRAT, but retains the right to receive annuity payments for a number of years. The IRS has set a minimum annuity corresponding to the Section 7520 rate, during the last two years the rate has varied from 2-3%. When the trust expires (pays all the annuities), the beneficiary gets the asset tax free.

Since the grantor is giving up an asset but in exchange is receiving an annuity form it, there is no applicable gift tax, it is called a zeroed-out GRAT.

This type of grant makes sense only if the grantor believes that the future value of the asset will be higher than the current value, since the annuity is based on the current value. In this case, Mr. Bailey would receive payments based on a $200,000 value, but the property's fair market value is already higher and should increase as time passes.

The switch to the use of ethanol in gasoline is driven primarily by its relatively lower price. Assuming a competitive market, w

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Price falls, output rises

Explanation:

We know that the ethanol is used as an input in the production of gasoline. So, if the price of ethanol is lower then this will reduce the cost of production of gasoline. If the cost of production of ethanol is lower then this will give an incentive to the producers of gasoline to produce more and supply more.

This will shift the supply curve of gasoline rightwards, as a result there is a fall in the equilibrium price level and increase in the equilibrium quantity of gasoline.
