Answer:

1. Yes

2. $7,400

Explanation:

Basic Rules For Estimated Tax For Individuals

Any individual who has estimated tax for the year of $1,000 or more and whose withholding does not equal or exceed the “required annual payment” must make quarterly payments. Otherwise, a penalty may be assessed. The required annual payment is the smaller of the following amounts:

1.Ninety percent of the tax shown on the current year's return.

2.One hundred percent of the tax shown on the preceding year's return (the return must cover the full 12 months of the preceding year). If the AGI on the preceding year's return exceeds $150,000 ($75,000 if married filing separately), the 100% requirement is increased to 110%.

Are Paula and Simon required to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty?

Following the basic rules above, yes, Paula and Simon have to increase their withholdings or make estimated tax payments this year to avoid the underpayment penalty.

If so, how much?

Amount of income tax liability = $218,000

In general, taxpayers must pay at least 90 percent of their tax bill during the year to avoid an underpayment penalty when they file.

Therefore Minimum estimated payments-90% : $218,000 * 0.9 = $196,200

110% of the preceding year's tax: $182,000 * 1.10 = $200,200

According to the basic rules the required annual payment is the smaller which is $196,200.

Tax withholding from their employers = $188,800

Estimated tax payments required = $196,200 - $188,800 = $7,400

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

$5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\$

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 100.00

time 60.00

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

$\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV$

PV 4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

Your firm is considering opening a branch office in Kyle. The office would cost $485,000 to build the office. During the office

wariber [46]

Answer:

The NPV from opening the branch office is negative ( -$106668.08). Thus the branch office should not be opened.

Explanation:

The decision to open the branch office will be taken based on the NPV provided by opening of the branch office. If the NPV of a project is positive based on the required rate of return used as a discount rate fro cash flows, the investment is worth undertaking.

The net present value (NPV) for a project can be calculated as,

NPV = CF1 / (1+r) + CF2 / (1+r)² + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n - Initial Outlay

Where,

r is the appropriate discount rate
Initial Outlay is the Initial cost of the project
CF represents cash flows from the project

As the required return is 16%, we will take this as the appropriate discount rate.

NPV = 45000 / (1+0.16) + 120000 / (1+0.16)² + 150000 / (1+0.16)³ +

150000 / (1+0.16)^4 + 150000 / (1+0.16)^5 - 485000

NPV = - $106668.08

As the NPV from project is negative at a required return of 16%, the project should not be under taken and the branch office should not be open.
