Answer:

The money in the 401(k) account is not taxed until withdrawn.

Explanation:

A 401 (k) can be defined as a type of compensation (savings) plan that is being sponsored by a business firm or company (employer) to avail its employees the opportunity to contribute into. As a company-sponsored and defined-contribution retirement savings plan, it offers tax advantages to the employees because it reduces their income tax for the particular year while taxing their withdrawals.

A good reason to contribute to a 401 (k) retirement account is that, the money in the 401 (k) account is not taxed until withdrawn. Thus, the money contributed by an employee to a 401 (k) will maintain its tax-deferred status until he or she withdraws it.

For example, a 401 (k) would be the best retirement savings option for a 50-year old medical doctor whose employer offers a 5% contribution match.

Your latest shipment of chicken has some items with usda stickers and some items with usda grade stamps. what is the difference

Ket [755]

USDA actually has several stickers/labels/stamps that could have different meanings. However, the sticker most likely indicates that the chicken has passed for inspection while the grading stamp means that the poultry processor also requested to have the quality of the chicken evaluated and graded.

The USDA has separate programs for the inspection and for the grading of meet. The former is mandatory and guarantees the wholesomeness of the meat. This means that the animal from which the meat was taken from is not diseased and that the meat is clean and fit for human consumption. Inspection programs are paid for by public funds.

However, USDA also has a grading program, which is paid for by the meat processors. The grading program checks and classifies the meat according to its quality (e.g. flavor, juiciness, and tenderness). Poultry with a Grade A poultry for example is one which does not have "defects" such as feathers, discoloration and bruising.

The future earnings, dividends, and common stock price of Carpetto Technologies Inc. are expected to grow 7% per year. Carpetto'

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

Dividend growth rate (g) = 7% per year

Common Stock value (P0) = $23 per share

Dividend just paid (or) Last dividend (D0) = $2

Current year dividend to pay (D1) = $2.14

(a) Using the DCF approach, what is its cost of common equity?

Cost of Common Equity (R) = [D1 / P0] +g

Cost of Common Equity (R) = [$2.14 / $23] + 0.07

Cost of Common Equity (R) = 0.1630 (or) 16.30%

Cost of Common Equity (R) = 16.30%

(b) If the firm’s beta is 1.6, the risk-free rate is 9%, and the average return on the market is 13%, what will be the firm’s cost of common equity using the CAPM approach?

Beta = 1.6

Risk-free rate (Rf) = 9%

Return on the Market (RM) = 13%

Calculating Firm’s Cost of Common Equity using the CAPM approach:

According to CAPM approach:

Cost of common equity (RE) = [Rf + β (RM – Rf)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [9% + 1.6 (13% - 9%)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [9% + 1.6 (4%)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = [0.09 + 1.6 (0.04)]

Cost of common equity (RE) = 0.154 (or) 15.4%

Cost of common equity (RE) = 15.4%

rs= Bond rate + Risk premium

rs= 12% + 4%

rs= 16%

d. The two approaches bond-yield-plus-risk premium approach and CAPM both has lower cost of equity than the DCF method. The firm’s cost of equity estimated to be 15.9% which is the average of all the three methods.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

Google acts according to the efficiency wage theory.

Explanation:

The efficiency wage theory states that if an employer increases the wage of his/her employees, they will be motivated and their productivity will increase. The increase in productivity should offset the increased labor costs. So the costs of higher wages should be recouped through increased productivity. Higher wages also reduce worker turnover, reducing hiring and training costs.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Quantity

Explanation:

A quantity discount is a dicount that occurs or that is put in place when a least certain amount of goods is ordered or purchased.

Like the question, there is a 15% discount for at least a dozen orders of Mandarin bird feeders. If the order exceeds a dozen peices, say 13 or 14 or 50 or even a 100 pieces, the discount of 15% comes into play during payment for those feeders.

Cheers.
