Answer: Decrease your take-home pay and decrease your federal income taxes in the current year. A 401k allows you to deduct earnings from your current income, and put that money in an account that cannot be opened until around retirement. The money put into a 401k, and the returns earned on that money through interest or investments, is not taxed as income until you take it out after retirement. This means that, when you put some of your earnings in a 401k, your take-home pay is lower for that year (you can't spend that money) and your income tax is reduced.

Answer:
The future value of a 18-year annuity of $2,000 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period is $59,078.
Explanation:
We apply the formula to calculate future value of annuity to find the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 ( because payment comes at the beginning of the year):
2,000/5% x (1.05^18 -1) = $56,264.77.
We further compound the future value of 18-year annuity as at the beginning of year 18 for one period to come up with the future value of this annuity as at the end of 18 year time:
56,264.77 x 1.05 = $59,078.
So, the answer is $59,078.
Answer:
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC)
Lancashire Railway Company (LRC) should reject the project. The basis for rejecting Division H's project is that its return (12%) is less than the risk-based cost of capital for the division (14%).
Explanation:
a) Data:
Division L's weighted-average cost of capital = 8%
Division H's weighted-average cost of capital = 14%
Weight of Division L = 50%
Weight of Division H = 50%
Company composite weighted average cost of capital = 11% (8% * 50%) + (14% * 50%)
Expected return from a proposed project for Division H = 12%
