Answer:
t = 3.801784017 years rounded off to 3.80 years
Explanation:
We need to calculate the time it takes for the initial investment of $1.5 million to grow and have a future value of $3 million. The formula to calculate the future value of a sum of money is,
FV = I * (1+r)^t
Where,
FV is the future valueI is the initial investment amountr is the rate of returnt is the time in years3 = 1.5 * (1+0.2)^t
3 / 1.5 = 1.2^t
2 = 1.2^t
log (2) / log (1.2) = t
t = 3.801784017 years rounded off to 3.80 years

Answer:
$6,475
Explanation:
Calculation for the minimum tax
The following details were given
Taxpayer Salary Muni-Bond Interest
Total Tax
Mihwah $22,500 $4,850 $1,665
Shameika $87,500 $40,000 ???
First step is to find Mihwah’s average tax
using this formula
Mihwah’s average tax rate =Total tax / Taxable income
Let plug in the formula
Mihwah’s average tax rate=$1,665/$22,500
Mihwah’s average tax rate=0.074×100
Mihwah’s average tax rate=7.4%
Second step is to calculate for the minimum tax
7.4% average tax rate on Shameika’s $87,500 taxable income will give us the minimum tax
Hence,
Minimum tax=7.4%×$87,500
Minimum tax=$6,475
Therefore the minimum tax would need to be assessed on Shameika to make the tax progressive with respect to effective tax rates will be $6,475
The minimum tax should be $6,475
The calculation is as follows:Mihwah’s average tax rate =Total tax ÷ Taxable income
=$1,665 ÷$22,500
=0.074×100
=7.4%
Now the minimum tax should be
=7.4%×$87,500
=$6,475

Indicate the basic analysis and the debit–credit analysis.
Answer:
Aug. 1 Issues shares of common stock to investors in exchange for $10,800.
Accounting equation:
Asset + 10,800
Equity +10,800
Journal entry:
cash 18,000 debit
common stock 18,000 credit
Aug. 4 Pays insurance in advance for 3 months, $1,200.

Aug. 27 Pays the secretary $580 salary
Accounting equation:
Asset - 580
Equity - 580
Journal entry:
salaries expense 580 debit
cash 580 credit
Explanation:
We need to disclose how the impact in the accounting equation and the journal entry should be done:
Aug 1st the common stock is an equity account that is increasing
we receive cash that is an asset
August 4th we are using our cash to pay in advance the rent.
this gives a right to use the rental space for 3-months thus, it is not an expense is a new asset. There is no change in the accounting equation only the composition of assets changed.
August 16th we recognize earnings through revenues account this increases the equity of the company as well as assets.
August 27th in this case we pay the salaries which are an incurred cost, therefore, expense. This decreases equity.
We also use cash making assets to decrease as well.
Receiving a payment from a customer on account would:
A) increase stockholders' equity.
B) have no effect on total assets.
C) increase stockholders' equity.
Answer:
Option B, have no effect on total assets, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “B” is correct because if the payment is received from the customer then it will increase the cash account or it will increase the stockholders’ equity but will have no effect on the total assets. The total assets account gets affected when there are sale and purchase of assets or there is any loss of gain of assets. But in the given case there is no relation with the assets account so it will have no effect.
A customer long 100 shares of XYZ stock who wishes to reduce risk and generate income should:_________.

b. buy a call.
c. buy a put.
d. sell a put.
Answer:
C
Explanation:

A put is an option which gives an investor the right but not the obligation to sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a particular period.
To reduce the risk of buying an asset, a customer can buy a put. This gives the customer the right to sell the stock at a set price.
For example, the investor can state in the put contract that we would sell the stock at $4 / unit. So, even if prices of the shares fall to $1. the investor would still sell his share for $4 / unit

Hugh has the choice between investing in a City of Heflin bond at 4.95 percent or investing in a Surething Inc. bond at 7.60 percent. Assuming that both bonds have the same nontax characteristics and that Hugh has a 40 percent marginal tax rate, what interest rate does Surething Inc. need to offer to make Hugh indifferent between investing in the two bonds? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
8.25%
Explanation:
Hugh will pay tax on its interest income and hence teh after tax rate of income shall be = Interest rate * (1- tax) . City of Heflin bond is offering a rate of 4.95% after tax rate of return, hence Surething should offer a interest rate that given Hugh after tax rate of 4.95%.
Tax rate is given 40% = 0.40
So , Interest rate * (1 - tax) = 4.95%
Interest rate * (1 - 0.40) = 0.0495
Interest rate * 0.60 = 0.0495
Interest rate = 0.0495 / 0.60
Interest rate = 0.0825
Interest rate = 8.25%
Hence Surething should offer 8.25% interest rate.

Just before the semester starts, you notice that the campus bookstore has a sale on new laptop computers, which is something you have been planning to purchase in the coming months. The campus bookstore is offering 15 percent off on a laptop that normally costs $600. However, you are also considering buying a new TV for your apartment, and you know that the electronics store, Media-ocre Buy, is offering 20 percent off on a TV, which normally costs $400. Assuming you are currently unable to make both purchases due to budget constraints, which product offers the best deal
Answer:
Laptop
Explanation:
Based on the information provided we can calculate the savings of each item by turning the percentages into decimals and multiplying that decimal by the actual cost of the item.
Laptop = 600 * 0.15 = $90
TV = 400 * 0.20 = $80
Therefore after making these calculations, we can see that by buying the Laptop you are saving a total of $90 which would put you at $10 more than if you were to purchase the TV. Therefore, based solely on actual dollar amount saved then the Laptop is the better deal in this scenario.

Precision Manufacturing had the following operating results for 2014: sales = $38,900; cost of goods sold = $24,600; depreciation expense = $1,700; interest expense = $1,400; dividends paid = $1,000. At the beginning of the year, net fixed assets were $14,300, current assets were $8,700, and current liabilities were $6,600. At the end of the year, net fixed assets were $13,900, current assets were $9,200, and current liabilities were $7,400. The tax rate for 2014 was 34 percent. What is the cash flow from assets for 2014?
Answer:
$4,284
Explanation:
The Computation of the cash flow from assets for the year 2014 is shown below
= Operating cash flow - net capital spending - changes in working capital
where,
Operating cash flow is
= EBIT + depreciation - taxes
The EBIT could come from
= Sales - cost of goods sold - depreciation expense - interest expense - tax expense
= $38,900 - $24,600 - $1,700 - $1,400 - $34% of $11,200
= $7,392
Now operating cash flow is
= $7,392 + $1,700 - $3,808
= $5,284
net capital spending = ending fixed assets - beginning fixed assets + depreciation
= $13,900 - $14,300 + $1,700
= $1,300
Changes in working capital = (ending balance of current assets - ending balance of current liabilities) - (beginning balance of current assets - beginning balance of current liabilities)
= ($9,200 - $7,400) - ($8,700 - $6,600)
= $1,800 - $2,100
= -$300
Now the cash flow from assets is
= $5,284 - $1,300 -(-$300)
= $4,284
