Answer:

The answer is 6.64%

Explanation:

The coupon payment is semiannual, meaning it is being paid twice a year.

N(Number of years/Number of periods) = 36(18 years x 2)

I/Y(Yield-To-Maturity) = ?

PMT(coupon payment) = $32.5 [(6.5%/2) x $1,000]

FV(Future value/Par value) =$1,000

PV(present value or market value) = $985

Now to solve this, lets use a financial calculator (e.g Texas BA II plus)

N= 36; PV = -985; PMT = $32.5; FV = $1,000; CPT I/Y = 3.32%

3.32% is for semiannual. Therefore annual pretax cost of debt is 6.64%

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

total taxable income = $73,000

tax liability = $7,505

Explanation:

Clarice's ordinary income $30,000

Clarice's capital gains:

  • selling of stock = $34,000 - $16,000 = $18,000
  • selling of coin collection = $55,000 - $30,000 = $25,000
  • total long term capital gains = $43,000

Clarice's taxable income = $73,000

Clarice's ordinary income tax rate 2011:

ordinary income = $30,000 - standard deduction $5,800 = $24,200

  • 10% on taxable income from $0 to $8,500  = $850
  • 15% on taxable income over $8,500 to $34,500 = $2,355

ordinary income taxes = $3,205

Clarice's capital gains tax rate 2011 = 10%

capital gains taxes = $43,000 x 10% = $4,300

total tax liability = $7,505
