<span>Prefer the 6.1 percent tax-exempt investment.
Let's do the math and see why the tax-exempt investment is the better choice. For the 8.1% taxable investment, you get taxed at the rate of 28%. Which means that you only get to keep 100%-28% = 72% of your gains. So 0.72 * 8.1 = 5.832 which means your effective earning percentage is only 5.832% which is less than the 6.1% rate you get for the tax-exempt investment. Another consideration that wasn't taken into account for the question is the earnings on the taxable investment may push you up into a higher tax bracket. Which in turn increases the tax burden on your other investments. So the better choice here is the 6.1% tax-exempt investment even though that first glance the 8.1% investment looks higher.</span>

Answer:
The correct answer is D: $10,329
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You want to have the equivalent of $700,000 (in terms of today's spending power) when you retire in 30 years. Assume a 3% rate of annual inflation. The interest rate is 10% annual.
First, we need to determine how much is $700,000 in 30 years.
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 700000*(1.03^30)= $1,699,083.73
Now, we can calculate the annual payment required using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (1,699,083.73* 0.10)/[(1.10^30)-1]= $10329

Answer:
a. $750
b. $750
Explanation:
The first thing to do is calculate the monthly interest as follows:
Monthly interest = Total interest ÷ 12 = $4,500 ÷ 12 = $375
The rent for two months in year 0 (November and December) = $375 × 2 = $750.
Prepaid expenses (January to October of year 1) = $4,500 - $750 = $3,750.
Decision:
Prepaid expenses is not deductible under either cash accounting method or accrual accounting method for tax purposes.
Therefore, Jaxon can deduct only $750 two months (November and December) relevant for year 0 under both cash accounting method and accrual accounting method.
The prepaid expenses of $3,750 is not deductible in year 0 but can only be deducted in year 1.
