A new American graduate is contemplating buying a
Japanese, German, or an American car. No matter the type of car, he
plans to buy a new one at the end of 8 years.
The Japanese cars will cost $30,000 and have a fuel
usage of 23 Miles Per gallon (mpg) for the first 2 years and will
decrease by 3% per year thereafter. The repair cost will start at $700
per year, and increase by 3% per year. At the end of year 8, the
car can be sold for $5000. Insurance cost will be $700 for the
first year, increasing by 2% per year thereafter.
​A German car will cost $45,000 and have fuel usage
of 21mpg for the first 5 years, and decrease by 1% thereafter to
year 8. The repair cost will start at $1000 in year 1 and increase by
4% per year. It will have a salvage value of $7000 at the end of
year 8. Insurance cost will be $850 the first year, increasing by
2% per year thereafter.
The American car will cost $35,000 and have fuel
usage of 20mpg for the first 3 years and will decrease by 3% per
year thereafter. The repair cost will be $800 in year 1, increasing by
4% per year thereafter. Being an American, the graduate will price
the pride of owning an American car at $0.4 for every 20 miles
driven, increasing by 2% per year. Insurance costs will be $800 per
year increasing by 2.2% per year. The car can be sold for $5500 at
the end of year 8.
If the graduate anticipates driving 150000 miles by
the end of year 8 and the average interest rate is expected to
remain at 5% per year, which car is economically affordable based
on present worth analysis? Assume fuel cost will be $3 per gallon
in year 1 and increase by an average of 2% per year. Show all your
workings.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The best option is to buy Japanese Car.

Explanation:

Fuel usage per year is 150000/ 8 = 18750 miles per year

Fuel cost (year 1 -8) = $3.0, $3.06, $3.12, $3.18, $3.25, $3.312, $3.38, $3.5

Japanese Car:

Fuel usage 18750 / 23 = 815 * $3 = $2446

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2445, $2494, $2623, $2758. $2900, $3050, $3207, $3372

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $700, $721, $742, $764, $787, $811, $835, $860

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $700, $714, $728, $742, $757, $772, $788, $804

Present value of cost at 5% = 24674.07

Cost of car is $30,000

Total cost = $54674.07

American Car:

Cost $35,000

Fuel usage 18750/20 = 937.5 * $3 per gallon = $2812.5.

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2812, $2913, $2986, $3011. $3098, $3124, $3176, $3208

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $800, $894, $921, $978, $1109, $1176, $1207, $1301

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $800, $827, $876, $898, $908, $932, $954, $934

Present value of cost at 5% = 25302.18

Cost of car is $35,000

Total cost = $60302.

German Car:

Cost = $45,000

Fuel usage 18750 / 21 = 892 * $3 = $2678

Fuel charges (year 1 -8) = $2679, $2732, $2786, $2842. $2899, $2987, $3077, $3171

Repair Cost (year 1 - 8) = $1000, $1040, $1081, $1124, $1169, $1216, $1265, $1316

Insurance cost (Year 1 - 8) = $850, $867, $884, $902, $920, $938, $957, $976

Present value of cost at 5% = 27105.73

Cost of car is $45,000

Total cost = $72105.

Hank, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for his sole proprietorship. In late December, he performed $20,000 of legal services for a client. Hank typically requires his clients to pay his bills immediately upon receipt.

What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in December?After- tax income ?b. What is the after-tax income if Hank sends his client the bill in January?

What is the after-tax income if Hank expects his marginal tax rate to be 25 percent next year and sends his client the bill in January? (Round "PV Factor" to 3 decimal places. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer: a. $14,000

b. $14,106

c. January

2. $15,535

Explanation:

a. If Hank sends the bill in December.

Tax rate is 30% this year.

Amount is $20,000

After Tax Income = 20,000 * (1 - tax)

= 20,000 ( 1 - 30%)

= $14,000

b. If Hank pays Next year

Tax rate is 33%

After tax return rate of 12%

Amount is 20,000

Tax = 20,000 * 33%

= $6,600.

Because this is next year, the present value of the tax needs to be computed for better comparison.

With an after tax return of 12%, the PV will be,

= 6,600 * PV factor ( 12%, 1 period)

= 6,600 * 0.893

=  $5,894

The income therefore will be,

= $20,000 - 5,894

= $14,106

c. Hank should pay in January as he would make more income.

2. Tax rate is 25% next year and income is to be received next year.

Tax = 20,000 * 25%

= $5,000

PV of $5,000 = 5,000 * PV Factor (12%, 1 period)

= 5,000 * 0.893

= $4,465

After tax income = 20,000 - 4,465

= $15,535

Answer:

Market economy:

2. The invisible hand guides resources to their highest valued uses

4. Prices are sey by supply and demand

6. Buyers and sellers are motivated by self-interest

Non-market economy:

1. Prices are set by government agencies

3. Buyers and sellers are motivated by government directives

5. Buyers and sellers are motivated by a sense of communal well-being

Explanation:

On the one hand, the concept of market economy refers to a type of economy system that basically indicates that the market will find the equilibrium and work properly without the help of the government and therefore it establishes that the economy does not need from the figure of the government and that this last one must worry only about the other issues that do not include the economy.

On the other hand, a non-market economy like its name indicates, it refers to the type of system that do consider that the presence of the government is very important for the correct system of the economy and all of its factors regarding the market. Therefore that this type of system approves the planning of the economy from the government without discussions.

Juggernaut Satellite Corporation earned $19.6 million for the fiscal year ending yesterday. The firm also paid out 30 percent of its earnings as dividends yesterday. The firm will continue to pay out 30 percent of its earnings as annual, end-of-year dividends. The remaining 70 percent of earnings is retained by the company for use in projects. The company has 2.8 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current stock price is $84. The historical return on equity (ROE) of 14 percent is expected to continue in the future.
What is the required rate of return on the stock?

Answers

Answer:

The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

The Company is distributing 30% of its earnings as dividends

Therefore, company is retaining = 100-30 = 70% of its earnings

Growth = Retention ratio * ROE = 0.7*0.14 = 9.8%

Earning = 19.6 million

hence, Paid as dividends = 19.6*0.3 = $5.88 million

The Number of shares outstanding = 2.8 million

hence, Dividend per share = Total dividends / number of shares outstanding = 5.88/2.8 = $2.1

Current stock price = $84

Therefore, to calculate the required rate of return on the stock we would have to use the following formula:

Price of stock = Current dividend*(1+growth)/(r-growth), where r is required rate of return

84 = 2.1*(1.098)/(r-0.098)

40 = 1.098/(r-0.098)

r - 0.098 = 0.02745

r = 0.02745+0.098 = 0.12545

The required rate of return on the stock is 12.55%
