let's consider a 30-year-old man living in London. His annual income is £35,000 and he pays a total of £27,000 in tax to the government. The government spends £7,600 on national defense and another £5,700 on policing. If he lives just ten more years, his annual income will be £42,000. So, the government will also take more taxes. It will spend £7,600 on national defense, another £5,700 on policing, and £10,500 on health care. How much will the citizen have to pay?please compute and show how to compute

A taxpayer can invest $1,000 in a money market fund that yields an annual pretax rate of return of 8% or buy an acre of land for $1,000 that appreciates at a 7% annual rate. The taxpayer plans to sell the land after 20 years and faces a 25% tax rate each year. (For purposes of this problem, ignore any risk differences between investments.) What is the after-tax accumulation at the end of 20 years from each investment? What is the annualized after-tax rate of return from each investment?

You have $10,000 cash that you want to invest. Normally, you would deposit the money in a savings account that pays an annual interest rate of 6%. However, you are now considering the possibility of investing in a bond. Your alternatives are either a nontaxable municipal bond paying 9% or a taxable corporate bond paying 12%. Your marginal tax rate is 30% for both ordinary income and capital gains. (The marginal tax rate of 30% means that you will keep only 70% of your bond interest income.) You expect the general inflation rate to be 3% during the investment period. You can buy a high-grade municipal bond costing $10,000 that pays interest of 9% ($900) per year. This interest is not taxable. A comparable high-grade corporate bond for the same price is also available. This bond is just as safe as the municipal bond but pays an interest rate of 12% ($1,200) per year. The interest for this bond is taxable as ordinary income. Both bonds mature at the end of year 5.(a) Determine the real…

The Goodsmith Charitable Foundation, which is tax-exempt, issued debt last year at 10 percent to help finance a new playground facility in Los Angeles. This year the cost of debt is 30 percent higher; that is, firms that paid 12 percent for debt last year will be paying 15.60 percent this year. If the Goodsmith Charitable Foundation borrowed money this year, what would the aftertax cost of debt be, based on their cost last year and the 30 percent increase? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input the answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.) If the receipts of the foundation were found to be taxable by the IRS (at a rate of 35 percent because of involvement in political activities), what would the aftertax cost of debt be? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Input the answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
