Sara owns 160 acres of farmland worth $800,000. She inherited the land from her father 30 years ago when it was worth $200,000.

Her married son would like to buy the land, but has limited funds. He proposes buying the land on a contract for deed, paying $50,000 down and the balance over 20 years at 4% interest. Assume that if Sara sold the land for cash, her tax rate on the gain would be 23.8%, but if she sold it on a contract her rate would be 15% on the gain and 28% on the interest income on each payment. Advise Sara on how much tax she would have to pay under each option (selling for cash or on the contract, also assume Sara could earn 4% interest if she sold for cash and invested the money)

Answer:

Check the following calculations

Explanation:

Sara with selling option

Selling Price = 800000

acquisition cost = 200000

Capital gain =  600000

  • Intersest earned on 800000 @ 4% for 20 Years = 800000 * CVF @ 4% 20 Years

800000* 1.464 = 1171200 - 800000 = 371200

  • Tax on interest Income = 371200 * 28% = 103936

  • Tax on capital Gain = 600000*23.8% = 142800

  • Total Tax on selling of land = 103936 + 142800 = 246736

  • On the contract

Capital gain = 600000

Intersest earned on [email protected]% for 20 Years = 750000 * [email protected]% 20 Years

750000* 1.464 = 1098000 - 750000 = 348000

  • Tax on interest Income = 348000 * 28% = 97440

  • Tax on capital gain = 600000*15%= 90000

total Tax on contract = 97400+ 90000 = 187440

Saving of tax on contracting = tax on sale - tax on contract = 246736 - 187440 = 59296

Exxon has the following capital structure: the firm issued 6 million shares of common stock with the stock price in c), the firm
lesantik [10]

Answer: some data is missing but I was able to find it online and that helped me resolve the problem .

answer : WACC =  15.76%

Explanation:

Given that the common stock price = $9 ( as seen in option C not attached above )

value of common stock = $9 * 6 * 10^6 = $54,000,000

cost of common equity = 10.93%

current preferred stock price = $6

value of preferred stock = $6 * 1,500,000 = $9,000,000

hence the cost of the preferred equity = $4.5 / $6 = 0.75 = 75%

interest rate of debts = 6.5%

value of debit = $25,000,000

Corporate tax rate = 25%

∴ The cost of the debit after tax = 6.5% * ( 1 - 25)% = 4.88%

The Total value = value of common stock + value of preferred stock + value of debit

 = 54,000,000 + 9,000,000 + 25,000,00 = $88,000,000

<u>Finally the weighted average cost of capital ( WACC )</u>

[weight of debt * cost of debt after tax ] + [ weight of common equity * cost of common equity ] + [weight of preferred * cost of preferred ]

= [ (25/88) * 4.875 ] + [(54/88) * 10.933] + [ (9/88) * 75 ]

= 15.76%
