- The 39 percent and 38 percent tax rates both represent what is called a tax “bubble.” Suppose the government wanted to lower the upper threshold of the 39 percent marginal tax bracket from $335,000 to $216,000. What would the new 39 percent bubble rate have to be? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 32.16)) Bubble rate %If the United States dollar declines by 10% against the Canadian dollar, what would be your percentage gain or loss, translated into dollars?You are evaluating a project that will require an investment of $18 million that will be depreciated over a period of 18 years.

- Hw.21. Kaplan & Skadden Inc. is a security investment firm. The firm has identified a company with great potential from India and would like to buy and hold its stock for investment. The stock is currently selling for $30 per share, and Kaplan & Skadden thinks it will climb to $120 per share within three years. Draft a memo analyzing how can the firm ensure that any gain it realizes from this transaction will be taxed as long term capital gain?6. The multiplier effect Consider a hypothetical economy where there are no taxes and no foreign trade, and households spend $0.75 of each additional dollar they earn and save the remaining $0.25. The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) for this economy is 0.75 ; the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this economy is 0.25 ; and the multiplier for this economy is 4 Suppose investment spending in this economy increases by $100 billion. The increase in investment will lead to an increase in income, generating an increase in consumption that increases income yet again, and so on. Fill in the following table to show the impact of the change in investment spending on the first two rounds of consumption spending and, eventually, on total output and income. Hint: Be sure to enter a negative sign in front of the number if there is a decrease in consumption. Change in Investment Spending = $100 billion First Change in Consumption = billion Second Change in Consumption = 24 billion Total…Suppose you live in the Fama-French three-factor model world. Goldman Sachs is selling two derivative securities to your company. Both will pay 100 million dollars over a 10 year period. Assume time value of money is zero. Security A will pay out cash that is positively correlated with economic indicators, thus paying out more when economy is booming and less when economy is tanking. Security B will pay out cash that is negatively correlated with economic indicators, thus paying out more when economy is tanking and less when economy is booming. What should be the fair valuation of these two securities at the start of this 10 year period. A<100 million; B>100 million A=B Both are smaller than 100 million and A<B Both securities should be priced lower than 100 millions. But A>B
- How should the capital structure weights used to calculate the WACC be determined? Suppose a firm estimates its WACC to be 10%. Should the WACC be used to evaluate all of its potential projects, even if they vary in risk? If not, what might be “reasonable” costs of capital for average-, high-, and low-risk projects? If Congress increased the personal tax rate on interest, dividends, and capital gains but simultaneously reduced the rate on corporate income, what effect would this have on the average company’s capital structure? If a firm goes from zero debt to successively higher levels of debt, why would you expect its stock price to rise first, then hit a peak, and then begin to decline?Suppose a firm estimates its WACC to be 10%.
