Answer:

Each year, the employer awards its top salesperson an all-expense-paid trip to Jamaica.

  • This should be considered as part of the employees' compensation (and the employee should be taxed), therefore, the company can deduct 100% of it.  

The employer has a cafeteria for its employees where meals are furnished at cost.

  • Cafeteria meals are not included in the 50% deduction.  

The employer sponsors an annual Labor Day picnic for its employees.

  • This is considered a recreational activity paid by the employer, so the 50% deduction does not apply.  

Every Christmas, the employer gives each employee a fruitcake.

  • It is a fringe benefit, although I doubt that the employees are taxed for receiving a fruit cake. There is no 50% deduction. (referred to as de minimis fringe benefit)

The taxpayer gives business gifts to her clients at Christmas.

  • Business gives are not subject to a 50% deduction, instead they are subject to a $25 limit.

A T-bill that is 290 days from maturity is selling for $96,040. The T-bill has a face value of $100,000.
umka2103 [35]

Answer: a 0.049, 0.05 and 0.05 or 5%

b 0.039, 0.041 and 0.041 or 4%

Explanation:

Ai discounted yield = [(Face value - purchase price)/Face value] * 360/ maturity

Discount yield =:[(100000 - 96040)/100000] * 360/290

= 0.0396* 1.24

= 0.049

ii. Bond equivalent yield (BEY) = [(Face value - purchase price)/purchase value] * 365/M

BEY= [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/290

BEY = 0.05

iii EAR = [(1+BEY/n)exp n - 1)

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/(365/290)) exp (360/290) - 1]

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/1.26) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = (1.04) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = 0.05 or 5%

The same formula are applied for the B part

Discount yield = [(100000-96040)/100000] * 360/365

Discount yield = 0.0396 * 0.986

= 0.039

B ii. BEY = [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/365

BEY = 0.041 × 1

BEY = 0.041

B iii. EAR = [(1 + 0.041/(365/365))exp (365/365) - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.41) - 1

EAR = 0.041 or 4%

Cash flow:

Cf1= $5,700

Cf2= $10,700

Cf3= $16,900

<u>To calculate the price of the investment now, we need to use the following formula on each cash flow:</u>

PV= Cf / (1+i)^n

PV1= 5,700/1.11= 5,135.14

PV2= 10,700/1.11^2= 8,684.36

PV3= 16,900/1.11^3= 12,357.13

Total PV= $26,176.63
