Answer:
The Pros and Cons of Roth IRA and the Traditional IRA or 401(K):
Roth IRA is not advantageous to those, who are starting to save late in their career. It favors the younger worker, who is starting out with low-paying jobs at lower-paying tax rates, who will later be earning more.
With Roth IRA, you suffer the tax burden upfront when you are active and while making your contributions, so that you can enjoy your retirement benefits tax-free. This is why the younger worker benefits more. In the prime of life with little responsibilities, you can settle the taxman so that you can be free of him later in older age. But, if you are in the high tax bracket, this category is not funny for you, anyway. The IRS has an income limit for this category, therefore, you must go for the traditional IRA.
The traditional IRA saves you the tax burden initially, but you can never be free of the IRS. It must take its share later, having allowed you to enjoy tax-free contributions. When the net is filled, the IRS cuts its percentage off.
You will never feel bad then, because your tax rate will surely be reduced in comparison with when you are making the contributions. So, it is just and right to allow the IRS, who generously helped you to grow the nest in the first place to take its just and lawful cut. It does not bleed too much then, afterall you are drying up with life's responsibilities, including reduced tax bracket, and many of your children have started answering to the IRS independently. This is the better time to deal with IRS, anyway.
Explanation:
The question has the explanation: ROTH IRAs are retirement funds that allow you to pay taxes on your investments into retirement funds as you are making the contributions, so that you are free to make your withdrawals after at least 5 years without paying additional taxes.
The traditional IRAs or the 401(K) encourage you to make your retirement contributions without paying taxes on them so that you can contribute more. Then the IRS will bounce on you to pay the taxes when you are making withdrawals having grown the investments.
IRAs mean Individual Retirement Accounts which individuals use to save and accumulate their retirement funds.
A project has cash flows of -152,000, 60,800, 62300, and 75000 for years 0 to 3 respectively. The required rate of return is 13 years percent. Based on the internal rate of return of__________percent, you should________the project.
Answer:
Based on the IRR of 14.05 percent, you should be accept the project
Explanation:
Internal rate of Return is the discount rate of that equates the present value of cash inflows to the initial cost. It is the maximum cost of capital that can be used to evaluate a project without causing harm to the shareholders.
It is calculated as follows:
IRR = a% + ( NPVa/(NPVa + NPVb)× (b-a)%
NPV = PV of cash inflows - initial cost
Step 1: NPVa at 13% discount rate
PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.13^(-1) + 62300 ×1.13^(-2) + 75000 ×1.13^(-3)
= 154,574.11
NPVa = 154,574.11 - 152000 = 2,574.11
Step 2: NPVb at 20%
PV of cash inflow = 60,800× 1.20^(-1) + 62300 ×1.20^(-2) + 75000 ×1.20^(-3) = 137,333.33
NPVb = 137,333.33 - 152,000 = (14,666.67)
Step 3: IRR
IRR = 13% + ( 2,574.11 /(2,574.11 + 14,666.67) )× (20-13)%
IRR = 14.05%
Based on the IRR of 14.05%, the project you should be accept the project
Since the IRR (14.05%) is greater than the required rate rate (13%) , the project should be accepted. An IRR which is higher than the hurdle rate implies that the project would increase the wealth of the shareholders
Concert Hall sells season tickets for six events at a price of $78. In pricing the tickets, the planners assigned the leadoff event a value of $23 because the program was an expensive symphony orchestra. The last five events were priced equally; 1,470 season tickets were sold for the 2013 season. Required: a. Calculate the theater's earned revenue after the first three events have been presented.
Answer: $66,150
Explanation:
The leadoff event is priced at $23 out of the $78 and the rest of the 5 events will be priced equally.
This means that after the first event, the other 5 will cumulatively be valued at;
= (78 - 23)/5
= $11
The other events are priced at $11 each.
For the first 3 events therefore;
First event = $23 and the other 2 events are $11 each;
= 23 + 11 + 11
= $45
Tickets sold are 1,470;
Revenue from first 3 = 45 * 1,470
= $66,150

the guy above me is correct!!
Explanation:
The rate of economic growth per capita in France from 1996 to 2000 was 1.9% per year, while in Korea over the same period it was 4.2%. Per capita real GDP was $28,900 in France in 2003, and $12,700 in Korea. Assume the growth rates for each country remain the same. 1. Compute the doubling time for France’s per capita real GDP. Use the rule of 72. 2. Compute the doubling time for Korea’s per capita real GDP. Use the rule of 72. 3. What will France’s per capita real GDP be in 2045? 4. What will Korea’s per capita real GDP be in 2045?
Answer and Explanation:
The rule of 72 refers the time period in which your investment which you invest should be doubled
So based on the rule of 72, the computation is shown below:
1. doubling time for France per capita real GDP is
= Rule of 72 ÷ rate
= 72 ÷ 1.9
= 37.89 years
2. Doubling time for Korea per capita real GDP is
= Rule of 72 ÷ rate
= 72 ÷ 4.2
= 17.14 years
3. France per capita real GDP in year 2045 is
= Per capita read GDP × (1 + growth rate)^time period
= $28,900 × 1.019^42
= $63,710.88
4. Korea per capita real GDP in year 2045 is
= Per capita read GDP × (1 + growth rate)^time period
= $12,700 × 1.042^42
= $71,490.43
The time period 42 comes from
= 2045 - 2003
= 42 years
Given the following data: Average operating assets $ 504,000 Total liabilities $ 23,520 Sales $ 168,000 Contribution margin $ 85,680 Net operating income $ 45,360 Return on investment (ROI) is:
Answer:
9%
Explanation:
According to the given situation, the solution of return on investment is shown below:-
Return on investment = (Net operating income ÷ Average operating assets) × 100
now, we will put the values into the above formula
= ($45,360 ÷ $504,000) × 100
= 0.09 × 100
= 9%
Therefore for computing the return on investment we simply applied the above formula.

Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800. Determine (a) the contribution margin ratio, (b) the unit contribution margin, and (c) income from operations.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Harry Company sells 20,000 units at $42 per unit. Variable costs are $26.88 per unit, and fixed costs are $105,800.
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price
contribution margin ratio= (42 - 26.88) / 42
contribution margin ratio= 0.36
Now, the contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 42 - 26.88= $15.12
Finally, income from operations:
Contribution margin= 20,000*15.12= 302,400
Fixed costs= (105,800)
Net operating income= 196,600
If we had a situation of Diminishing Marginal Productivity, then this would be great news for the firm. Senior management loves this kind of cost reduction outcome.
True or False
Answer:
The correct answer is the second option: False.
Explanation:
To begin with, the well known term of "Diminishing Marginal Productivity" is understood to be an economic law whose main purpose is to explain that given a certain level of an input, the production of the company will start to go down eventually after adding more and more of that variable. Therefore that this theory states that when a company adds more of a factor of production, everything else constant, when it reaches a certain level that input will start to affect the output of the good and with it the profits of the business. That is why that if the company is in a situation of diminishing marginal productivity the senior management would not be pleased.
The last dividend paid by Coppard Inc. was $1.25. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 27.5% for 3 years, after which dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 6% forever. If the firm's required return (rs) is 11%, what is its current stock price
Answer:
36.38
Explanation:
The Current stock price can be calculated by identifying Present value of dividends in all three years adding terminal value of dividends in year 3.
Year Dividend Growth Dividend PV factor Present Values
1 1.25 127.5% 1.59 0.900901 1.43
2 1.59 127.5% 2.03 0.811622 1.64
3 2.03 127.5% 2.59 0.731191 1.88
3 42.987(w) 0.731191 31.43
Total PV 36.38
Current Dividend = 2.59
Rate of return = 11.00%
Growth Rate = 6.00%
Terminal value = Current Dividend*(1+Growth rate)/(Rate of return-Growth Rate)
Terminal value = 2.59 x (1+0.06) / (0.11-0.06)
Terminal value =42.987
Current stock price = 1.43 +1.64+1.88+31.43
Current stock price = 36.38
"A customer has an existing margin account and wants to write five covered calls against 500 shares of stock in the account. The margin requirement to write the calls is:"
Answer: 0
Explanation: The sale of the stock call, would be covered by the ownership of the stock ( someone who owns the said stock). The required margin needed to sell the stock would be ‘0’ since there is no evidence that points to any available risks on the short calls. as short calls helps to predict of prices would drop or not.

If a project has a cost of $10,000, expected net cash flows of $1500 a year for 12 years and you use a discount rate of 6%,
1. What is the following:
a. Payback period (no application of discount rate)
b. Payback period (using discount rate)
c. NPV
d. IRR
2. Should the project be accepted?
3. If another project has a cost of $10,000 and has expected life of 8 years and it will generate $3000 a year should you accept the project if your boss says the cost of capital is 5%?
Answer:
1a, 6.67 years
b. 8.9 years
c. NPV = $2,575.77
d. IRR = 10.45%
2. it should be accepted
3. it should be accepted.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = $10,000 / $1500 = 6.67 years
Discounted payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative discounted cash flows
discounted cash flow in year 1 = $1500 / 1.06 = $1415.09
discounted cash flow in year 2 = $1500 / 1.06^2 = $1,334.99
discounted cash flow in year 3 = $1500 / 1.06^3 = $1,259.43
discounted cash flow in year 4 = $1500 / 1.06^4 = $1,188.14
discounted cash flow in year 5 = $1500 / 1.06 ^5 = $1,120.89
discounted cash flow in year 6 = $1500 / 1.06^6 = $1,057.44
discounted cash flow in year 7 = $1500 / 1.06^7 = $997.59
discounted cash flow in year 8 = $941.12
please check the attached image on how the discounted payback period was calculated
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
NPV and IRR can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 12 = $1,500
I = 6%
NPV = $2,575.77
IRR = 10.45%
The project should be accepted because the NPV is positive, this indicates that the project is profitable. Also, the IRR is greater than the discount rate, so the project should be accepted.
to determine if the project should be accepted, the NPV of the project should be determined.
Cash flow in year 0 = $-10,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 8 = $3,000
I = 5%
NPV = $13,165.20
the project should be accepted because the NPV is positive
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
In cash basis accounting, for tax purposes:
a. Income is recognized when it is actually or constructively received and expenses are recognized when they are actually or constructively incurred, regardless of when paid.
b. Income is recognized when it is earned regardless of when received and expenses are recognized when they are actually or constructively incurred.
c. Income is generally recognized when it is actually or constructively received and expenses are generally recognized when they are paid.
d. The cash basis is not allowed for businesses reported on Schedule C.
Answer: Income is generally recognized when it is actually or constructively received and expenses are generally recognized when they are paid.
Explanation:
In cash basis accounting method, it should be noted that revenues are recognized when they are gotten while for the expenses, they are recognized when they are paid out in cash.
The cash basis for of accounting is the opposite of the accrual method of accounting whereby revenue and expenses will be recognized when incurred.
Cara Industries incurred the following costs for 50,000 units:
Variable costs $90,000
Fixed costs 120,000
Cara has received a special order from a foreign company for 5,000 units. There is sufficient capacity to fill the order without jeopardizing regular sales. Filling the order will require spending an additional $4,250 for shipping.
If Cara wants to break even on the order, what should the unit sales price be?
A. $4.2
B. $5.05
C.$1.8
D. $2.65
Answer:
Selling price= $2.65
Explanation:
Because it is a special offer, and there is unused capacity, we will take into account only the incremental fixed costs.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 90,000/50,000= $1.8
Now, we can determine the total unitary cost and the selling price per unit:
Total unitary cost= (4,250/5,000) + 1.8= $2.65
Selling price= $2.65
ABC Co. and XYZ Co. are identical firms in all respects except for their capital structures. ABC is all-equity financed with $475,000 in stock. XYZ uses both stock and perpetual debt; its stock is worth $237,500 and the interest rate on its debt is 10 percent. Both firms expect EBIT to be $53,000. Ignore taxes.
Requried:
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
Answer:
ABC Co. and XYZ Co.
a. Rico owns $23,750 worth of XYZ’s stock. What rate of return is he expecting?
Expected Rate of Return = 12.32%
b. Suppose Rico invests in ABC Co and uses homemade leverage. Calculate his total cash flow and rate of return.
Cash flow from ABC Co. = 11.16% of $23,750 = $2,650.50
Cash outflow from homemade leverage = 10% of $11,875 = $1,187.50
Total cash flows = $1,463 ($2,650.50 - $1,187.50)
Rate of return = $1,463/$11,875 x 100 = 12.32%
c. What is the cost of equity for ABC and XYZ?
Cost of Equity for ABC Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $53,000/$475,000 x 100
= 11.16%
Cost of Equity for XYZ Co. = Expected Return on Equity
= $29,250/$237,500 x 100
= 12.32%
d. What is the WACC for ABC and XYZ?
WACC for ABC = Cost of Equity = 11.16%
WACC for XYZ = Weighted Cost of Equity + Weighted Cost of Debt
= 11.16% x 50% + 10% x 50%
= 0.0558 + 0.05
= 0.1058
= 10.58%
Explanation:
ABC:
Equity = $475,000
Expected EBIT = $53,000
Returns on Equity = $53,000/$475,000 x 100 = 11.16%
XYZ:
Equity = $237,500
Debt = $237,500
Interest on Debt = 10% = $23,750
EBIT = $53,000
Return for Equity = $29,250 ($53,000 - 23,750)
Return on Equity = $29,250/$237,500 x 100 = 12.32%
RICO is assumed to leverage debt for his shares in ABC Co. to the tune of 50% just as the debt leverage in XYZ Co.
ABC's and XYZ's costs of equity are equal to the expected returns on the equities expressed percentages of the equities.
ABC's and XYZ's WACC or Weighted Average Costs of Capital are the weighted cost of equity plus the weighted cost of debt respectively.
Purple Panda Products Inc. is considering a project that will require $650,000 in assets. The project will be financed with 100% equity. The company faces a tax rate of 30%. Assuming that the project generates an expected EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) of $170,000, then Purple Panda’s anticipated ROE (return on equity) for the project will be:
a. 14.65%
b. 18.31%
c. 11.90%
d. 10.99%
Answer:
18.31%
Explanation:
Purple panda products incorporation has a shareholder's equity of $650,000
The tax rate is 30%
=30/100
= 0.3
The EBIT is $170,000
The first step is to calculate the net income
Net income= EBIT - tax
= $170,000-(0.3×170,000)
= $170,000-51,000
= 119,000
Therefore, the ROE can be calculated as follows
ROE= Net income/shareholder's equity
= 119,000/650,000
= 0.1831×100
= 18.31%
Hence the ROE is 18.31%
Vince offers to buy a book owned by Sun-Hi for twice what Sun-Hi paid for it. She accepts and hands the book to Vince. Sun-Hi's delivery of the book is
Answer:
Vince and Sun-Hi's Book
With Sun-Hi's delivery of the book, the offer by Vince is accepted by Sun-Hi.
Acceptance of an offer is necessary to make a contract.
Explanation:
An offer by Vince is not a contract, but its acceptance by Sun-Hi without a counter-offer makes it a valid contract that can be enforced in law if other ingredients for a valid contract are present. Acceptance establishes the agreement between Vince and Sun-Hi. Once Sun-Hi accepts Vince's offer with valid considerations (the book and double the price), the agreement for a business transaction between them is consummated. It is acceptance that completes the exchange of promises in this simple contract.

Mojo Mining has a bond outstanding that sells for $2,120 and matures in 18 years. The bond pays semiannual coupons and has a coupon rate of 6.66 percent. The par value is $2,000. If the company's tax rate is 40 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
A. 3.96%
B. 6.24%
C. 5.82%
D. 3.66%
E. 3.45%
Answer:
D. 3.66%
Explanation:
For computing the after tax cost of debt we need to apply the RATE formula i.e to be shown in the attachment
Given that,
Present value = $2,120
Future value or Face value = $2,000
PMT = $2,000 × 6.6% ÷ 2 = $66.60
NPER = 18 years × 2 = 36 years

So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 3.05% × 2 % = 6.10%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 6.10% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 3.66%

g The company plans a 4-for-1 stock split. How many shares will you own and what will the share price be after the stock split?
Answer: 14,400; $17
Explanation:
Stock splits are a strategy by firms to increase the liquidity of their shares especially when they are trading at a high price. The firm divides the stock by a certain number thus increasing the number of shares by the multiple of the number. This action will divide the price of the stock and thus allow for more trade as they are cheaper.
A 4-for- stock split means that each share will become 4.
Your total number of share will become;
= 4 * 3,600
= 14,400 shares
The new price will be;
= 68/4
= $17 per share

b. Quality of a Solution 80% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 20%
c. Quality of a Solution 10% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 90%
d. Quality of a Solution 90% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 10%
e. None of the above
Answer:
a. Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%
Explanation:
We say that a solution is effective i.e 100%, when it has a 20% of its quality and 80% of its acceptability.
A solution is effective when it has a 100% effect. The application of a solution to a problem which yields 100% effect is said to be effective and acceptable.
The scale used is the relationship given as:
Effectiveness of a solution = Quality of a Solution 20% (x) Acceptability of the Solution 80%
A monopolist faces a
A. a two-tiered demand curve.
B. a perfectly elastic demand curve.
C. the market demand curve.
D. a perfectly inelastic demand curve.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Suppose that you have an old car that is a real gas guzzler. It is 10 years old and could be sold to a local dealer for $ cash. The annual maintenance costs will average $ per year into the foreseeable future, and the car averages only miles per gallon. Gasoline costs $ per gallon, and you drive miles per year. You now have an opportunity to replace the old car with a better one that costs $. If you buy it, you will pay cash. Because of a 2-year warranty, the maintenance costs are expected to be negligible. This car averages miles per gallon. Should you keep the old car or replace it? Utilize a 2-year comparison period and assume that the new car can be sold for $ at the end of year 2. Assume that the salvage value of the old car at the end of year 2 will be $0. Ignore the effect of income taxes and let your MARR be %.
Answer:
you should replace the old car with a newer and more efficient one
Explanation:
all the numbers are missing, so I looked them up:
current sale value of old car $400
maintenance costs per year $800
gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/10 x 15,000 = $5,250
resale value in 2 years = $0
cost of replacing old car = $8,000
maintenance costs per year $0
gasoline expense per year = $3.50 x 1/30 x 15,000 = $1,750
resale value in 2 years = $5,000
MARR = 15%
if you keep the old car, your net cash flows will be:
Year 1 = -$6,050
Year 2 = -$6,050
if you change your car, your net cash flows will be:
Year 0 = -$8,000 + $400 = -$7,600
Year 1 = -$1,750
Year 2 = $3,250
keeping the old car results in a NPV = -$6,050/1.15 - $6,050/1.15² = -$5,260.87 - $4,574.67 = -$9,835.54
changing for a new car results in a NPV = -$7,600 -$1,750/1.15 + $3,250/1.15² = -$7,600 -$1,521.74 + $2,457.47 = -$6,664.27
since both options result in negative cash flows, we must select the option that results in a smaller loss
