Answer:

32.13%

Explanation:

The computation of the break-even corporate tax is shown below:

As we know that

Municipal bond return = preferred stock return before tax  × [1 - (1 - dividend exclusion) × Break even corporate tax]

7.5 = 8.30 ×  [1 - ( 1 - 0.70) × Break even corporate tax ]

7.5 ÷ 8.30 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.9036 = 1 - 0.30 × Break even corporate tax

0.30 × Break even corporate tax = 1 - 0.9036

So, Break even corporate tax is

= 0.0964 ÷ 0.30

= 32.13%

Basically we applied the above formula

Answer:

b. inelastic

c. Yes - it decreased

Explanation:

Elasticitiy of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

= -2/4 = -0.5

The absolute value is 0.5

If the absolute value of the coffiecnet of elasticity of demand is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has no effect on quantity demanded .

We can tell that the quantity demanded fell because of the negative sign in front of the percentage change in quantity demanded.

Mitch, a single taxpayer, earns $100,000 in taxable income and $10,000 in interest from an investment in city of Birmingham Bond
Ivan

Answer:

The answer is: $18,289.50

Explanation:

The interest earned from the investment in Birmingham Bonds is not included in Mitch's gross income.

If Mitch earned $100,000, so he will fall under the fourth bracket for single filers.

He will have to pay $14,089.50 plus 24% of any income over $82,500.

taxes due = $14,089.50 + [($100,000 - $82,500) x 24%]

taxes due = $14,089.50 + $4,200 = $18,289.50
