Compute the 2020 tax liability and the marginal and average tax rates for the following taxpayers. Click here to access the 2020 tax rate schedule. If required, round the tax liability to the nearest dollar. When required, round the average rates to four decimal places before converting to a percentage (i.e. .67073 would be rounded to .6707 and entered as 67.07%). a. Chandler, who files as a single taxpayer, has taxable income of $94,800.

Answer:

Tax liability:

Chandler is in 85,525 - 163,300 bracket.

Liability is:

= 14,605.50 + (24 % * (94,800 - 85,525))

= 14,605.50 + 2,226

= $‭16,832

Marginal Tax rate = 24%

Marginal tax rate for 85,525 - 163,300 bracket is 24%.

Average tax rate:

= Tax liability / Taxable income

= 16,832 / 94,800

= 17.76%

The ACE Equity Fund has an expected return E[r] of 11.830% and the ZQR Bond Fund has an expected return E[r] of 6.690%. A portfolio comprised of 3% ACE and 97% ZQR would have an expected return of __________%. (percent, rounded three places after decimal)

2. Grocers Absorb Rise in Food Prices to Keep Customers From Straying Dec. 17, 2017 7:00 a.m.
ET: Retailers hold line on prices, fearing they will lose business to discounters and new rivals online
Food costs are ticking up after a multiyear glut of many staples. But consumers aren't paying
much more yet because grocers, discounters and online retailers are all holding down prices to win
business. Many grocers are investing in e-commerce operations to keep up with Amazon.com Inc., which
has slashed prices on products including avocados, organic milk and chicken since it acquired Whole
Foods Market this summer. "Price competition is getting more severe," said Kemper Isely, co-president of
the Colorado-based Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage Inc., a health-food chain that competes with
Whole Foods in the West. The chain has cut prices this year in part to try to beat Whole Foods discounts.
Considering grocers, how can you apply price elasticity of demand to this situation?

Based on past experience, Maas Corp. (a U.S.-based company) expects to purchase raw materials from a foreign supplier at a cost of 1,000,000 francs on March 15, 2021. To hedge this forecasted transaction, on December 15, 2020, the company acquires a call option to purchase 1,000,000 francs in three months. Maas selects a strike price of $0.58 per franc when the spot rate is $0.58 and pays a premium of $0.005 per franc. The spot rate increases to $0.584 at December 31, 2020, causing the fair value of the option to increase to $7,500. By March 15, 2021, when the raw materials are purchased, the spot rate has climbed to $0.59, resulting in a fair value for the option of $10,000. The raw materials are used in assembling finished products, which are sold by December 31, 2021, when Maas prepares its annual financial statements. Prepare all journal entries for the option hedge of a forecasted transaction and for the purchase of raw materials. What is the overall impact on net income over the two accounting periods

A water resources engineer is trying to run a cost-benefit analysis for a project. They need to first decide on the planning period (the benefits should be calculated over N years, and N should be determined). If N is too large, then the future benefits in those years (e.g. 70 years from now) will have a very low present value. Therefore, the engineer would like to cut off the planning period after a point when the present equivalent of benefits becomes less than 6.25% of that future benefit. If the interest rate is 8%, use the rule of 72 to determine the duration of the planning period (N).
