Answer:

Borrow in dollars then at spot rate convert money to british pound. Invest in the pounds for half a year and convert back to dollars.

Explanation:

Access to credit = $20000000

We do a conversion to pounds

= 20000000/2

= £10000000

When this is invested for 6 months

10000000 x 1 +4% x6/12

= 10000000(1+0.04*0.5)

= 10000000x1.02

= 10200000

We then make a conversion back to dollars

10200000 x 2.2

= 22,440,000 dollars

Loan to be repaid

20000000(1+6%x6/12)

= 20000000 x 1 +0.06*0.5

= 20000000 x 1.03

= 20,600,000

Then arbitrage profit = 22440000 - 20600000

= 1840000

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: 17.56%

Explanation:

Given that,

Leonardo taxable income = $90,000

Tulsa bonds = $8,750

Theresa taxable income = $50,000

Computation of Leonardo's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 24% of taxable income over $82,500

                = $14,089.50 + 24% × $7,500

                = $14,089.50 + $1,800

                = $15,889.5

Computation of Theresa's Tax:

According to the tax rate schedule,

Total Tax = Tax + 22% of taxable income over $38,700

                = $4453.50 + 22% × $11,300

                = $4453.50 + $2,486

                = $6939.5

Total tax on Leonardo's income and Theresa's income:

= $15,889.5 + $6939.5

= $22,829

Effective tax rate = \frac{Total\ Tax}{Total\ Taxable\ Income}\times100

                              = \frac{22,829}{130,000}\times100

                              = 17.56%

siniylev [52]

Option D. The way that Nikolaos would be able to determine for the parsonage of the Indianapolis would be: Consult an Indianapolis realtor for a documented quote with comparable listings for the house.

<h3>What is meant by parsonage?</h3>

Old French personage and medieval Latin personagium, both of which imply "home for a person," are the origins of the word "parsonage." A house in the early church was frequently not much more than a priest's place to sleep.

A clergy house is where one or more priests or other religious leaders currently live or previously lived. Such homes may be referred to as manse, parsonage, rectory, or vicarage, among other names.

A recent sale of a property in your neighborhood that is comparable to yours in terms of location, size, condition, and features is known as a "comp," short for "comparable sale."

Comparable (similar) homes have to have equivalent market values, and thus comparable assessed values. Comparing the assessment of your home to the assessments of other comparable homes is one approach to determine whether it has been done fairly or uniformly.

#SPJ1

Nikolaos is an ordained minister. He moved to Indianapolis and lives in the nearby furnished parsonage, which is 1,500 square feet. His previous role was in Washington, D.C.; the fair rental value (FRV) of his parsonage (1,800 square feet) in Washington was $18,000/year.

How should he determine FRV for the Indianapolis parsonage?

Use the same FRV as the Washington, D.C. parsonage.

Reduce the Washington FRV by the size ratio of the new parsonage to the Washington home.

Estimate FRV based on other properties available in the area.

Consult an Indianapolis realtor for a documented quote with comparable listings for the house.

Lisa [10]

Answer:

revised annual depreciation will be : 13710

Explanation:

After revision the remaining life of equipment shrank down to 2 years, so the depreciation working will be worked out to adjusted the impact of decreasing of useful life.

As per existing information the depreciation charges are calculated as :

(Cost-Salvage Value)/Useful life= (49700-4000)/10 = 4570

Accumulated Depreciation indicates that 4 years have past by (18280/4570)

now remaining years are 6 which will be reduced to 2 after revision so the new working will be as follows:

Remaining Cost :31420  (49700 -18280)

Salvage Value : 4000

Revised Remaining Useful Life  : 2

Revised Calculated Depreciation Annual  : (31420-4000)/2 = 13710

It can be further verified through simple math also:

Adding annual depreciation of remaining 2 years : 13710 +13710 =27420

Value available for depreciation after salvage value : 31420 -4000= 27420
