Answer:

The answer is "Option D".

Explanation:

The amount accrued in the pension system until now = 7500

Danger or security account proportion = 20 \%

The percentage of the amount kept in a safe account (PV) = 7500\times 20\% = 1500\%

Number of investment years owned by (n)=63-27=36

Risk-free return rate I = 3\%

Combined total amount up to age 63 (formula for the current value) = Present \ value\times (1+i)^n

=1500\times (1+3\%)^{36}\\\\=4347.417492

The contribution is \$2000 a year and the employer corresponds with the same amount for the pension plan.

Total annual contribution = 2000+2000 = 4000

Risk-free or healthy account proportion= 20\%

Amount invested annually (P) = 4000\times 20\% = 800 \ (Risk \ free)

Annual deposit amount (n) for years=63-27 =36

Returns free of risk I = 3\%

An cumulative sum due to an annuity= P\times \frac{(((1+i)^n)-1)}{i}

=800\times \frac{(((1+3\%)^{36})-1)}{3\%}\\\\=50620.75541

Total amount accumulated in safe account = FV\  of \ PV + FV of annuity

=4347.417492+50620.75541\\\\=54968.1729\\\\=54968

oee [108]

Answer:

9.635%

Explanation:

We shall use a table to compute different values as shown below.

<u>Investment</u>       <u>Return</u>     <u>Taxable amount</u>    <u>Tax Rate</u>       <u>After-tax return</u>

Dividend              9.8%             30% (n1)              18%             9.2708% (w1)

Municipal bond   8.8%              0%                      18%             8.8%

Corporate bond   11.75%          100%                   18%             9.635% (w2)

The after tax return with on the best investment alternative is 9.635% for corporate bonds

<u>Workings</u>:

W1

9.8 *0.3*0.18 = 0.5292%

Return after tax = 9.8% -0.5292% = 9.2708%

w2

18.75*0.18 =2.115%

Return after tax = 11.75% -2.115% = 9.635%

<u>Notes:</u>

n1 : 70% of the dividends are excluded from taxation. Only 30% is to be taxed

Anna [14]

Answer:

1. Carrying amount = $250,000

2. Cash paid to retire bond = $225,000

3. Gain on the retirement = $25,000

Explanation:

1. What is Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement​ date?

Carrying amount of a bond payable on the retirement​ date is its par value amount.

Therefore, Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement​ date is $100 par value for 2,500 units with a total carrying amount of $250,000.

2. How much cash must Plummer Company pay to retire the bonds​payable?

Units of bond = $250,000/$100 = 2,500 units.

Since Plummer pays the market price of $90 to retire the​ bonds, cash amount Plummer Company must pay to retire the bonds​ payable can be calculated as follows:

Cash paid to retire bonds = 25,000 * $90 = $225,000

3.Compute Plummer Company's gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds payable.

Gain (loss) = Carrying amount - Cash paid on retirement = $250,000 - $225,000 = $25,000
