A corporation can earn 7.5% if it invests in municipal bonds. The corporation can also earn 8.30% (before-tax) by investing in p

referred stock. Assume that the two investments have equal risk. What is the break-even corporate tax rate that makes the corporation indifferent between the two investments? Assume a 70% dividend exclusion for tax on dividends. (Do not round your intermediate answer and round your final answer to two decimal places.)

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

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000

A customer in a coffee shop purchases a blend of two coffees: kenyan, costing $3.50 a pound, and sri lankan, costing $5.60 a pou
Rom4ik [11]
We have to make a system of equations:
x + y = 7;  where x stays for pounds of Kenyan coffee, and y stays for pounds of Sri Lankan coffee. And: 3.50 * x + 5.60 * y = 33.95 ( total cost ).
From the 1st equation: x = 7 - y. We have to substitute it into the 2nd equation:
3.50 * ( 7 - y ) + 5.60 * y = 33.95
24.50 - 3.50 y + 5.60 y = 33.95
5.60 y - 3.50 y = 33.95 - 24.50
2.10 y = 9.45
y = 9.45 : 2.10
y = 4.5 lb;  x = 7 - 4.5 = 2.5 lb.
Answer: 2.5 lb of Kenyan coffee and 4.5 lb of Sri Lankan.

Oxana [17]
To determine the standard deviation of the number of people who suffer from insomnia, you need to use the following formula:
= sqr of npq

= √10,200 people in the community x 0.6 people who suffer from insomnia x 0.91 = ?
= √10,200 x 0.6 x 0.91 = <span>√55.143 = 7.43 

= 7.43</span>

To be effective as a successful general manager of a hotel, the manager should exhibit all of the following traits except: Group
Masja [62]

Answer: The manager should exhibit all the traits except computer programming skills.

Explanation: A successful general manager or a manager that is striving to be successful will/should possess the following traits:

1. Attention to detail; this is a very important trait and could be the difference between keeping a client and losing one. This is because clients want to feel and be treated specially and uniquely. Therefore an attention to detail will help the manager ensure that each client is treated specifically and differently from the next client.

2. Follow through leadership: this trait is very important in order to maintain cohesion among the team members and subordinates.

3. People skills: this is a very important trait because it is very vital in person-to-person interactions, especially when interacting with hotel guests.

4. Effective delegation: one person cannot perform all the tasks in a hotel, therefore it falls on the general manager to be able to assign roles to individuals that are best suited to perform the tasks. This is a very important trait and will ensure that resources are properly utilized.

Computer programming skills is not a trait requires of a hotel general manager. This is because the role can be assigned to a computer programmer while the general manager faces other tasks that require his/her attention.
