Juan was considering purchasing an interest in a tax-exempt bond fund for $100,000 when he discovered that the interest must be

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

The double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .

Explanation:

Calculatation of the after-tax return on both bonds

1)The double-exempt bond does not pay state or federal income taxes.

After-tax return =

Before-tax return = 4.9%

2)The tax-exempt bond is the state income taxes, but not federal in which the states can decide whether to tax their bonds or not.

Interest Income (100,000 * 5%) 5,000

Less: State taxes at 10% (5,000* 10%) (500)

Tax benefit from deduction of state taxes on federal return (500 * 35%) 175

After-tax Income 4,675

After-tax return = 4,675/100,000 = 4.675%

Therefore the double-exempt bond is the preferred investment because it has a higher after-tax return Tax benefit .

Hence the state income tax will be deductible on Juan’s federal tax return and Juan’s federal taxable income will be lower or lesser by $500 which will produces tax savings at his federal marginal tax rate of $500 * 35% = $175.

Gary, a new salesperson for a reputed cellphone manufacturer, meets the owner of a transport company that employs 50,000 people

qaws [65]

Answer:

Option B. It is unrealistic

Explanation:

The reason is that the people have different likes which means we will never see 100 percent acceptance from the customers which might in the way of rejecting the offer of Gary. So the assumption that 50,000 cab drivers will purchase its product is truly optimistic which in other words is unrealistic assumption. So the option B is correct.

Option A is incorrect because the assumption is less qualitative as it doesn't relies on realistic assumption.

The cab drivers sales are relevant here but the sales assumption was unrealistic (Highly optimistic assumption) so the option C and D are incorrect.

Option E is also incorrect because the sales to cab drivers can be measure by initially directly selling 1000 cell phone to 1000 cab drivers which will give an actual idea of sales units expected, which means it is measurable.

B. Payback Period Technique (PBP) is <u>5 years</u>.

C. Net Present Value Technique (NPV) is <u>RM33,588</u>.

D. Profitability Index (PI) is <u>1.056</u>.

2. The project should be accepted based on the positive results above.

3. The importance of capital budgeting techniques lies in the fact that they aid capital decision-making by measuring their probable outcomes.

<h3>What are capital budgeting techniques?</h3>

Capital budgeting techniques are capital investment evaluation tools.

Some of the capital budget tools include the Payback Period, Discounted Payment Period, Net Present Value, Proﬁtability Index, Internal Rate of Return, and Modiﬁed Internal Rate of Return.

These capital budgeting techniques help management to evaluate capital projects and to choose investment strategies.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Investment cost = RM600,000

Cost of capital = 12%

Net Cash Flows PV Factor Present Value

Year 0 RM600,000 1 (RM600,000)

Year 1 RM100,000 0.893 89,300

Year 2 110,000 0.797 87,670

Year 3 121,000 0.712 86,152

Year 4 133,100 0.636 84,652

Year 5 146,410 0.567 83,014

Year 6 RM400,000 0.507 202,800

Present value of cash flows = RM633,588

Net Present Value RM33,588

Total Net Cash Flows = RM1,010,510

Average Net Cash flows = RM168,418 (RM1,010,510/6)

Accounting Rate of Return = Average Income/Initial Cost

= 28% (RM168,418/RM600,000 x 100)

Payback period = 5 years

NPV = Initial Investment - PV of net cash flows

= RM33,588

Profitability Index = Present value of cash flows/Initial Cost

= 1.056 (RM633,588/RM600,000)
