Suppose that short-term municipal bonds currently offer yields of 4%, while comparable taxable bonds pay 5%. Which gives you the higher after-tax yield if your tax bracket is 30%
Answer:
30%
Explanation:
The computation of the after tax yield of the taxable bond in the case when the tax bracket is 30%
= rate × (1 - tax rate)
= 5% × (1 - 0.30)
= 5% × 0.70
= 3.50%
As we can see that the short term municipal bond is 4%
So this tax bracket should be chosen as the short term municipal bond gives higher after tax yield

Atlas Corporation sells 100 bicycles during a month. The contribution margin per bicycle is $200. The monthly fixed expenses are $8,000. What is the profit from the sale of 100 bicycles
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
To calculate the profit for Atlas corporation, we will use the formula below;
Profit = (Contribution margin × Units sold) - Fixed expenses
Given that;
Contribution margin = $200
Units sold = 100
Fixed expenses = $8,000
Profit = [($200 × 100) - $8,000]
Profit = $20,000 - $8,000
Profit = $12,000

Simon decided to invest $8,000 in the stock market one day early in 2008. Six months after he invested, on July 17, the stocks he had purchased were down 50%. Fortunately for Simon, from July 17 to October 17, the stocks he had purchased went up 75%. At this point, Simon has:
Answer:
At this point, Simon has lost $1,000 of his money.
Explanation:
This can be determined by calculating the current value of Simon's investment as follows:
Initial amount invested = $8,000
Value of the investment on July 17 = Initial amount invested * (100% - Percentage of loss) = $8,000 * (100% - 50%) = $4,000
Value of the investment on October 17 = Value of the investment on July 17 * (100% + Percentage of increase) = $4,000 * (100% + 75%) = $7,000
Amount of loss on October 17 = Initial amount invested - Value of the investment on October 17 = $8,000 - $7,000 = $1,000
Therefore, at this point, Simon has lost $1,000 of his money.

Economy without foreign sector. H. Spending without income. I. Increase capital per worker. J. Lower tax rates lead to higher tax revenues.
Answer and Explanation:
The matching is as follows:
Wealth effect = This would give the AD curve slope explanation
Multiplier effect = 1 ÷ MPS
Crowding out effect = Decline in investment because of rise in G.
Autonoumous consumption= Spending without considering income.
Laffer curve = Lesser tax rates that lead to higher tax revenues.
Automatic stabilizer = Transfer payments.
Permanent income= Long run average income level
Closed economy= Economy without considering foreign sector.
Capital deepening = rise in capital per worker.

Marigold Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109700. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $4200 and a useful life of 123000 miles. It was driven 22000 miles in 2020 and 30000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2020
Answer:
the depreciation expense of the year 2020 is $18,870
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense of the year 2020 is as follows:
= (Truck value - salvage value) ÷ (useful life) × (driven miles)
= ($109,700 - $4,200) ÷ (123,000 miles) × (22,000 miles)
= $18,870
Hence, the depreciation expense of the year 2020 is $18,870

In ideal situations, the goal of communication is to: a. provide valuable feedback. b. reach mutual understanding. c. commend others. d. better prospects of self-advancement.
Answer:
a. provide valuable feedback.
Explanation:
Communication has often been defined as a two-way process of sending and then receiving information. So what comes first or the goal based on this definition is getting valuable feedback.
Hence, in ideal situations reaching mutual understanding isn't the goal, neither is commending others or self-advancement, but a conscious satisfaction that comes from having received valuable feedback.
For example, if there's no feedback, then the question about mutual understanding isn't relevant.
In 2019, Henry Jones (Social Security number 123-45-6789) works as a freelance driver, finding customers using various platforms like Uber and Grubhub. He is single and has no other sources of income. In 2019, Henry's qualified business income from driving is $61,200. Assume Henry takes the standard deduction of $12,200. Click here to access the 2019 individual tax rate schedule to use for this problem. Assume the QBI amount is net of the self-employment tax deduction. a. Compute Henry's QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2019. QBI deduction: $fill in the blank 3d3cdcfa0fe106c_1 Tax liability (round to the nearest dollar): $fill in the blank 3d3cdcfa0fe106c_2 b. Complete Henry's 2019 Form 8995 (Qualified Business Income Deduction Simplified Computation). Enter all amounts as positive numbers.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. However, I have found that missing data on the internet and will be using that data to solve this question.
Solution:
Data Given:
Net Income = $61,200
Standard Deduction = $12,200
Henry's QBI deduction and his tax liability for 2019.
For Henry's QBI deduction, we have the following formula:
QBI deduction = (Net income - Standard Deduction) x 20%
Where, 20% is the value which is dragged from the 2019 Tax Rate Schedule which is missing here.
So,
Henry's QBI Deduction = ($61,200 - $12,200 ) x 20%
Henry's QBI Deduction = $9,800
Now, we need to calculate the tax liability:
For, Tax liability, first we need to complete the part (b) which is to compute the total taxable income.
So,
The Taxable Income = Net income minus Standard Deduction minus QBI Deduction
Taxable income = ($61,200 - $12,200 - $9,800)
Taxable income = $34,200
We need to use this taxable income and tax rate of 12% (fetched from Table) and 9700 (Fetched from the table)
So,
Tax Liability for Henry = $970 + (12% x (39,200 - 9,700))
Tax Liability For Henry = $970 + (12% x (29500))
Tax Liability For Henry = $970 + (3540)
Tax Liability For Henry = $4,510
b) in part b, we have to calculate the total taxable income, that we have already calculated. And since, there is no form, so, I will be completing this problem here.
Taxable income = Net income minus Standard Deduction minus QBI Deduction
Taxable income = ($61,200 - $12,200 - $9,800)
Taxable income = $34,200

Jorge and Anita, married taxpayers, earn $142,000 in taxable income and $49,000 in interest from an investment in City of Heflin bonds. (Use the U.S. tax rate schedule for married filing jointly). Required: If Jorge and Anita earn an additional $104,500 of taxable income, what is their marginal tax rate on this income
Answer:
Jorge and Anita
Their marginal tax rate on their income is 24%.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Taxable income = $142,000
Interest from municipal bonds = $49,000
Additional taxable income = $104,500
Total taxable income:
Taxable income = $142,000
Additional taxable income = $104,500
Total = $246,500
Their joint income is within the $165,601 - $315,000 band, which attracts 24% marginal tax rate.
b) Note that income from investing in municipal bonds is generally exempt from Federal and state taxes, especially for residents of the issuing state, except capital gains attributed to the investment.
Haack Inc. is a merchandising company. Last month the company's cost of goods sold was $70,600. The company's beginning merchandise inventory was $16,500 and its ending merchandise inventory was $30,000. What was the total amount of the company's merchandise purchases for the month
Answer:
$84,100
Explanation:
Haack incorporation cost of goods last year was $70,600
The beginning merchandise inventory was $16,500
The ending merchandise inventory was $30,000
Therefore the total amount of purchases can be calculated as follows
Cost of goods= beginning inventory + purchases-ending inventory.
70,600= 16,500+purchases-30,000
70,600-16,500= purchases - 30,000
54,100 = purchases - 30,000
54,100+30,000= purchases
Purchases= 84,100
Hence the total purchases is $84,100

Answer:
the contribution margin per unit is $14.05
Explanation:
The computation of the contribution margin per unit is shown below;
As we know that
Contribution Margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable costs per unit
= ($28) - ($5.20 + $5.40 + $2 + $0.70 + $0.65)
= $28 - $13.95
= $14.05
Hence, the contribution margin per unit is $14.05

Bob invests X in an account that pays interest at an annual effective rate of 8%. Ten years later, he withdraws X. Ten years after that, he withdraws 1,000, which exhausts the account. Calculate X.
Answer:
$399.68
Explanation:
The computation of X is shown below:
X = X ÷ (1 + 0.08)^10 + $1,000 ÷ (1 + 0.08)^20
= X ÷ 2.158925 + 214.548207
X - X ÷ 2.158925 = 214.548207
2.158925X - X ÷ 2.158925 = 214.548207
1.158925X = 214.548207 × 2.158925
X = 2.14548207 × 2.158925 ÷ 1.158925
= $399.68
A manufacturing company prepays its insurance coverage for a three-year period. The premium for the three years is $3,120 and is paid at the beginning of the first year. Ninety percent of the premium applies to manufacturing operations and ten percent applies to selling and administrative activities. What amounts should be considered product and period costs respectively for the first year of coverage
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the amount of the product and period cost is shown below:
Given that
Total Payment made for Three Years = $3,120
Per Year Payment is
= $3,040 ÷ 3 years
=$1,040
Now
90% of the per year payment is allocated to manufacturing operations
= $1,040 × 90%
= $936
And, 10% is Applied to Selling and Administrative Activities
= $1,040 × 10%
= $104
So, the product and period costs for the first year of coverage are $936 and $104 respectively.
