Answer:

  • The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income.
  • Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.

Explanation:

First part of this question reads:

In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.

The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.

When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The answer is =16.7%

Explanation:

Earnings before interest and taxes(EBIT) = $145,000

Tax rate is 25%

Therefore, the applicable tax rate on the earnings is 100% - 25% = 75%

So the Net income is 0.75 x $145,000

Net income = $108,750

The project is financed by 100percent equity and the cost is $650,000.

ROE(Return on Equity) = net income/equity

$108,750/$650,000

=16.7%

balandron [24]

Answer:

Expected Net Cash Flow = $3.8 million

Net Present Value (NPV) = $1.0492 million

Explanation:

Given Cash outflow = $10 million

Provided cash inflows as follows:

Particulars           Good condition         Moderate condition        Bad Condition

Probability                  30%                               40%                                  30%

Cash flow                $9 million                     $4 million                       $1 million

Average expected cash flow each year = ($9 million X 30 %) + ($4 million X 40%) + ($1 million X 30%) = $2.7 million + $1.6 million + $0.3 million = $4.6 million

Three year expected cash flow = ($4.6 million each year X 3) - $10 million = $13.8 million - $10 million = $3.8 million

While calculating NPV we will use Present Value Annuity Factor (PVAF) @12% for 3 years = \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^1}} + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^2}} + \frac{1}{(1 + 0.12){^3}} = 2.402

NPV = PV of inflows - PV of Outflows = $4.6 million X 2.402 - $10 million = $11.0492 million - $10 million = $1.0492 million

Expected Net Cash Flow = $3.8 million

Net Present Value (NPV) = $1.0492 million

Elis [28]

Answer:

a. Adjusted Gross income is calculated as;

= Wages + Interest - Deduction

= 41,000 + 700 - 5,000

= $36,700

b. The couple will pick their Standard deduction in 2019 because its more than the itemized deduction.

Standard deduction for couples in 2019 = $24,400

c. I assume you mean their 2019 taxable income which is;

= Adjusted Gross income - Standard deduction

= 36,700 - 24,400

= $12,300

<em>Note; As of 2018 there are no more personal deductions. </em>
