Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: B. $2,500

Explanation:

The American opportunity tax credit (AOTC) is a tax credit benefit for parents and Guardians to paying tuition on Qualified students.

A maximum of $2,500 in credit can be acquired per eligible student and to qualify for this maximum, a married couple filing together must have a Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) of less than $160,000.

With a modified AGI of $90,000, Jeffery and Cassie are below the threshold and qualify for the full figure.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The options for this question are the following:

a. Specific and measurable

b. Cover key result areas

c. Linked to rewards

d. Defined time period

e. Challenging but realistic

The correct answer is a. Specific and measurable .

Explanation:

Without smart goals, there is no success. SMART objectives encourage focus and action. They are a way of contributing structure and measurability to your goals and objectives. If you want to succeed in sports, you must set SMART objectives: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and temporary. Let's see each one of them and talk about what it really means to set SMART goals:

S - Specific

The less clear your goal is, the less likely it is that you can achieve it. Try to be as specific as possible by asking yourself questions like: What do I really want to achieve? When do I want to get it? Where? How? Including figures in your goal is also a good way to make it more specific. For example: I want to perform 10 Strict Pullups in 15 weeks. Or, my goal is to improve my Aphrodite time by 2 minutes in the next 3 months.

M - Measurable

Measurable is related to the criteria on which you base your achievement, is to have concrete evidence that you have achieved it. How will it make you feel? What are you going to see? Dividing your goal into measurable steps makes it clearer and easier to achieve the desired result.

Both Bond Bill and Bond Ted have 6.2 percent coupons, make semiannual payments, and are priced at par value. Bond Bill has 5 yea

iragen [17]

Answer:

a-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = -8.07%

a-2. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = -21.12%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = 8.94%

b-1. Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = 30.77%

c. See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Explanation:

The price of each bond can be calculated using the following excel function:

Bond price = -PV(YTM, NPER, PMT, FV) ........... (1)

Where;

a-1. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $919.29

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($919.29 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -8.07%

a-2. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted?

YTM = (6.2% + 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 8.2% / 2 = 4.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(4.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $788.81

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($788.81 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = -21.12%

b-1. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Bill be then?

YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 5 * 2 = 10

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Bill = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = -PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 10, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Bill = $1,089.36

Percentage change in the price of Bond Bill = ((New price of Bond Bill - Initial price of Bond Bill) / Initial price of Bond Bill) * 100 = (($1,089.36 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 8.94%

b-2. If rates were to suddenly fall by 2 percent instead, what would the percentage change in the price of Bond Ted be then?

rate = new YTM = (6.2% - 2%) / Number of semiannuals in a year = 4.2% / 2 = 2.1%

NPER = Number of semiannuals to maturity = 25 * 2 = 50

PMT = Payment = Coupon rate * Face value = (6.2% / Number of semiannuals in a year) * 1000 = (6.2% / 2) * 1000 = $31

FV = Face value = Initial price of Bond Ted = $1,000

Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = -PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000)

Inputting =-PV(2.1%, 50, 31, 1000) in a cell in an excel file (Note: As done in the attached excel file), we have:

New price of Bond Ted = $1,307.73

Percentage change in the price of Bond Ted = ((New price of Bond Ted - Initial price of Bond Bill Ted) / Initial price of Bond Ted) * 100 = (($1,307.73 - $1,000) / $1,000) * 100 = 30.77%

c. Illustrate your answers by graphing bond prices versus YTM.

Note: See the attached excel file for the graph.

d. What does this problem tell you about the interest rate risk of longer-term bonds?

It tells us that the longer the term of a bond, the greater will be its interest rate risk.

Which statements about Section 1231 assets are true? Pick all that apply!!

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that Section 1231 assets are a term that is used to describe the real or depreciable trading property acquired for more than a year. For example, landed property, buildings, etc.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer or statement to the question are:

1. If Section 1231 assets are sold and the taxpayer has a realized loss, the loss is a fully deductible ordinary loss

2. If Section 1231 assets held long-term are sold for a realized gain, the taxpayer has a potential long term capital gain that may be taxed at favorable capital gains rates but this result often does not occur
