Answer: A. 27.50% breakeven tax bracket; No, you should buy the muni bond

Explanation:

The breakeven federal tax rate where one is indifferent with regard to purchasing the taxable bond or the municipal bond will be calculated as:

= 1 - municipal bond yield/taxable bond yield

= 1 - (5.8% / 8%)

= 1 - (0.058 / 0.08)

= 1 - 0.725

= 0.275

=27.50%

Therefore, the answer will be A) 27.50% breakeven tax bracket; No, you should buy the municipal bond.

Alisiya [41]

Answer: More elastic; Lower

Explanation:

Before the entry of a new firm, there is only one firm exist in the market and that single firm is experiencing a monopoly power. But when there is a entry of its competitor then as a result second firm have to reduce their prices of the products as demand is elastic. We know that market is very sensitive to the prices. This fall in prices will lead to increase the demand for the products but with the lower prices, the marginal revenue of the second firm will be more elastic because of the lower prices.

A financier plans to invest up to $600,000 in two projects. Project A yields a return of 9% on the investment x dollars, whereas
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Project A = $240,000

Project B = $360,000

Explanation:

Planned Investment amount = $600,000

Project A = x dollars, with 9% return

Project B = Y dollars, with 16% return

Project B should not exceed 40% of total investment amount

Therefore, if y dollars is spent on project B,

(600,000 - y) is spent on project A

Return on project A :

0.09(600,000 - y) = 54,000 - 0.09y

Return on project B :

0.16y

Total return = return on A + return on B

54,000 - 0.09y + 0.16y

Total return = 54,000 + 0.07y

Note: Project B should not exceed 40% of investment, Therefore,

y <= 0.4(600,000)

y <= 240,000

slope of the function is positive '54,000 + 0.07y', total return increases when y increases.

Therefore return on investment will be maximized when y = 240,000, as it should not exceed 40% for project B and the rest 360,000 can be invested in project A.
