Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Employer should withheld $1,643 from Baker's salary

Explanation:

Baker earned $113,300 in 2012. As on 2012, FICA tax rate withheld from employee's salary is 7.65% that constitutes 4.5% of social security, 1.45% of medicare taxes and 2% additional for employees whose wages exceed $18,350.

The gross income base for social security part has increased in 2012 to $110,100. This is not applicable for medicare tax of 1.45%.

Here, Baker's salary of $113,300 is above social security limit, so his income will not be withheld for social security. However, 1.45% of his salary will be withheld for medicare tax.

Therefore, $1,643 that is 0.0145×113,300 is withheld from his salary.

kirill [66]

Answer:

the potential for a central bank to increase the money supply and therefore real GDP to help the incumbent get re-elected.

Explanation:

A political business cycle can be defined as a business cycle that typically arises from the manipulation and tweaking of economic policy tools such as fiscal policy and monetary policy by incumbent (serving) politicians, in order to stimulate and enhance the economy of a particular country before an election. Thus, this would go a long way to boost the chances of the candidate representing the particular political party and reelection into office by the people.

Hence, the political business cycle refers to the potential for a central bank to increase the money supply and therefore real GDP to help the incumbent get re-elected.

The Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is a measure of the total market value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.

Simply stated, GDP is a measure of the total income of all individuals in an economy and the total expenses incurred on the economy's output of goods and services in a particular country.

Basically, the four (4) major expenditure categories of GDP are consumption (C), investment (I), government purchases (G), and net exports (N).

Additionally, Gross Domestic Products (GDP) of a country's economy gives an insight to it's social well-being such as Real GDP.

Down Under Boomerang, Inc., is considering a new 3-year expansion project that requires an initial fixed asset investment of $2.
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Explanation: please refer to the explanation section

Initial fixed asset Investment = 2.33million = 2 330 000

Modified Accelerated Cost recovery System

The Fixed Asset Falls under the 3 year MACRS class the project the asset which states that Asset Depreciation range Midpoint is 4 years or less  The period for this project is 3 years

Estimated annual sales = $1735000

costs = $640,000

Initial Net working Capital  investment = $300,000

Residual Value (Value of the fixed asset at the end) = $255,000

a. Projected Cash flows

Year 0

Cash outflows = 2 330 000 - 300 000 - 255 000 = 2375000

                                year 1       year 2         year 3

Estimated sales 1735000 1735000     1735000

costs                  -640000    -640000      -640000

Depreciation     -791666.67  -791666.67    -791666.67

Residual Value<u>                     255000 </u>

Net sales          303333.33     303333.33  558333.33

Tax  25%  -<u>75833.33 -75833.33 -139583.33</u>

Net Cash flows  <u>227500           227500              418750</u>

Depreciation = (2330 00 + 300 000 -255000)/3= 791666.67

Tax =  Net sales x 25%

b Net Present Value (Required rate Return = 9%)

PV  =  227500/(1+0.09)^1 + 227500/(1 + 0.09)^2 + 418750/(1+0.09)^3

Present Value of cash flows = 723549.63

Net Present Value = 723549.63 - 2630 000 = -1906450.37

The net present Value is Negative indicating the project will not bring positive returns

3. You have $100 to invest. The price of XYZ stock is $100. You sell short one share of XYZ and then invest all available funds
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

HPR = holding period Return is 20%

Explanation:

  • Given original Investment = $100
  • Short sale proceeds for 1 share = $100
  • Investment made of $100 + short sale proceeds of $100 at 5% YTM.
  • So Maturity Value = Investment x (1+YTM)^number of years  
  • = 200 x (1 + 0.05)^1 = 210  

 

  • Therefore, In order to cover Short sale of 1 share, we will have to buy 1 share at a closing value of $90  
  • As such, holding period Return = (Investment proceeds from ZCB - Buying price of stock - Investment amount) / Investment Amount  
  • = (210 - 90 - 100) / 100 = 0.2 or 20%  

 

  • Hence, HPR = holding period Return is 20%
