Answer: b. 34.15 or higher
Explanation:
Short sales refer to the sale of borrowed stocks in anticipation that the stock price of the underlying stock will fall. This will then enable you to make a profit by buying the cheaper shares and giving it back to the entity you borrowed from thereby making a profit.
With short sales, the price is usually upward trending so will normally increase from the last price. As the last price here was $34.15, that would be the likely minimum for the next sale.
This means that the next sale will either be at a price of $34.15 or a price higher than that.
The external research that would be useful would be research.
Research could be divided into direct and indirect.
Direct research is being done by directly ask the potential customer what they want (through things like questionnaire)
And indirect research is being done through observation (pay attention to the market trend)
Answer:
Amount received = 217,043.56 (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Monthly deposit = $400
Interest rate = 3.2% / 12 = 0.002667 per month
Number of year = 63 year - 35 year = 28 year
Number of period = 28 × 12 month = 336 month
Computation:
![Amount \ received = PMT[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r} ]\\\\Amount \ received = 400[\frac{(1+0.002667)^{336}-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{(1.002667)^{336}-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{2.44713794-1}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[\frac{1.44713794}{0.002667} ]\\\\Amount \ received =400[542.608901]\\\\Amount \ received =217,043.56\\\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Amount%20%5C%20received%20%3D%20PMT%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2Br%29%5En-1%7D%7Br%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D%20400%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281%2B0.002667%29%5E%7B336%7D-1%7D%7B0.002667%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D400%5B%5Cfrac%7B%281.002667%29%5E%7B336%7D-1%7D%7B0.002667%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D400%5B%5Cfrac%7B2.44713794-1%7D%7B0.002667%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D400%5B%5Cfrac%7B1.44713794%7D%7B0.002667%7D%20%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D400%5B542.608901%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CAmount%20%5C%20received%20%3D217%2C043.56%5C%5C%5C%5C)
Amount received = 217,043.56 (Approx)
Answer:
499.80
Explanation:
There is no 39.6% tax bracket, the highest marginal tax is 37%. But we can assume that Mikey had to pay 39.6% in taxes which means that he is in the seventh tax bracket (highest). Since he is classified under the highest tax bracket, he will also pay the highest capital gains rate which is 20%.
Mikey's long term capital gain = $4,950 - $2,400 = $2,550
if he paid regular income taxes = $2,550 x 39.6% = $1,009.80
since he pays capital gains taxes = $2,550 x 20% = $510
That means he saves $1,009.80 - $510 = 499.80
