Answer:
Paying the $20,000 in December is the clear winner. Accelerating her payment from January to December will increase the present value of the cash outflow by a few days. Thus, there is a minor present value cost associated with accelerating her payment.
Explanation:
Option 1: Pay $20,000 bill in December:
$20,000 tax deduction x 40% marginal tax rate = $8,000 in present value tax savings
After-tax cost = Pretax cost - Present Value Tax Savings
= $20,000 - $8,000 = $12,000
Option 2: Pay $20,000 bill in January:
$20,000 x 40% = $8,000
Present Value of Tax savings = $8,000 x .893 (Discount factor, 1 year, 12%) = $7, 144
After-tax cost = Pretax cost - Present value tax savings
= $20,000 - $7,144 = $12,856

Answer:
Answer explained below
Explanation:
(1)
IS Model:
Y = C + I + G + X - M
Y = 100 + 0.5Y + 100 - 20r [G = X = M = 0]
(1 - 0.5)Y = 200 - 20r
0.5Y = 200 - 20r
Y = 400 - 40r ......(1) [IS Equation]
LM Model:
Money demand (Speculative + Transactions demand) = Money supply
100 - 10r + 0.1Y = 80
0.1Y = 10r - 20
Y = 100r - 200 .....(2) [LM Equation]
(2) When IS & LM intersect, from part (1):
400 - 40r = 100r - 200
140r = 600
r = 4.29
Y = 100r - 200 = (100 x 4.29) - 200 = 429 - 200 = 229
(3)
There will be four regions as explained below:
In region I, there is excess supply in both goods and money market, which puts downward pressure on both interest rate and output.
In region II, there is excess demand in goods market, but excess supply in money market, which puts upward pressure on output & downward pressure on interest rate.
In region III, there is excess demand in both goods and money market, which puts upward pressure on both interest rate and output.
In region IV, there is excess supply in goods market, but excess demand in money market, which puts downward pressure on output & upward pressure on interest rate.
Answer:
7. $41,000

Answer:
A. Use BitLocker Encryption with the TPM chip
B. Secure Boot option
Explanation:
Trusted Platform Module or TPM chip is a tool used to produce reliable and unusual cryptographic codes and save them in an encrypted form to be utilized to validate hardware accessories. The cryptographic systems are encrypted and can be decrypted only by the TPM chip, which designed and encrypted them. <em>BitLocker</em> software uses a TPM chip to control the encryption of the computer data. Since the key saved in the TPM is distinctive, the BitLocker software can quickly verify the encrypted TPM and do not pass the decryption to another computer.
The method of Secure Boot is where the Operating System boot pictures and code are verified against the hardware before they are authorized to be used in the actual boot process.
If my boss uses both the encryption and secure boot, the data will become secure.
