Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Bob Katz and Sally Mander

Taxable Income for 2018:

= $78,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total wages =                  $102,400

Gain from sale of stock =     5,200

Interest income =                      100

Total income =                 $107,700

less total deductions =     (29,500)

Taxable Income =            $78,200

b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.  

c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income.  Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income.  On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of  $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200.  Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.

Halka Company is a no-growth firm. Its sales fluctuate seasonally, causing total assets to vary from $345,000 to $410,000, but f
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$345,000

Explanation:

Since Halka Company uses a maturity matching approach, it must match its short term working capital with its short term debts, and its long term working capital with its long term debts. Halka's assets should be compensated with a corresponding debt instrument of similar maturity.

Since Halka's assets vary form $345,000 to $410,000, its long term debt plus equity should match at least $345,000.
