Answer and Explanation:
As we know that the credit amount should be allowed a qualified deduction of 100% till $2,000 and the next 25% is $2,000
In the given situation, the credit amount would be
= $1,600 × 100%
= $1,600
As the AGI is $175,000 i.e. exceeded the prescribed amount i.e. $160,000 so it would be phased out till $180,000
So, after considering the phase out application limits, the credit is
= $1,600 × ($180,000 - $175,000) ÷ ($180,000 - $160,000)
= $400
So, the total credit is $400 out of which $160 is refundable and the remaining balance i.e. $240 would be non-refundable
Answer: a. U.S. Treasuries with 1 year to maturity
Explanation:
The Government guaranteed the price of the carbon and the payoff is to be one year later.
The opportunity cost will therefore be a similar Government security to the payoff term of the carbon sale which is 1 year.
The Government security with a similar payoff term is the US Treasury bill with 1 year left till maturity and this will be the opportunity cost because instead of the Government issuing and paying out that security they will instead pay for the carbon.
Answer:
Equity Beta = 1.1413
Explanation:
The formula to find the asset beta is
Asset Beta = Equity Beta/(1+(1-tax rate)(Debt/Equity))
We will put the values given in the question in this formula
Asset Beta = 0.8
Tax rate = 0.36
Debt = 0.40
Equity = 0.60
0.8=Equity Beta/(1+(0.64)(0.40/0.60)
0.8=Equity Beta/1+0.4266
0.8=Equity Beta/1.4266
1.4266*0.8= Equity Beta
Equity Beta = 1.1413
Answer:
$140,000 and $195,000
Explanation:
The computations are shown below:
Accounting cost would be
= Jill salary + material and other labor costs + Insurance and mortgage payment
= $40,000 + $80,000 + $20,000
= $140,000
The economic cost would be
= Accounting cost + investment left + loss in salary + loss in rent
= $140,000 + $5,000 + $30,000 + $20,000
= $195,000
The loss in salary would be
= $70,000 - $40,000
= $30,000
The loss in rent would be
= $40,000 - $20,000
= $20,000
Correct/Complete Question:
The answers to an economy's three central economic problems are determined by the interaction of three forces: economic forces, political forces, and social forces. True or False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The above forces, economic, political and social determine the answers to the three economic problems and also determines how economic forces operate in an economy. The three economic questions are;
- What goods and services should be produced?
- How should these goods and services be produced?
- Who consumes these goods and services?
Political forces are forces that influence the economic and political stability of the market. Social forces include cultural influences on the economic stability of the market. Economic forces on the other hand are the factors that determine/influence the competitiveness of the market in which a firm operates.
