There are many tax rules and regulations you should be aware of when investing-whether it be in stocks; bonds; mutual funds; real estate; or collectibles such as artwork, antiques, gems, memorabilia, stamps, and coins. Capital gains are proceeds derived from these types of investments. Unless they are specified as being tax-free, such as municipal bonds, you must pay capital gains taxes on these proceeds. Capital gains are taxed in one of two ways. If the investment is held for one year or less, this is considered short-term and is taxed as ordinary income at your regular income tax rate. As this is written, if the investment is held for more than one year, it is considered long-term and qualifies for various tax discounts, as follows for single taxpayers with earnings as shown below. Stocks Held Capital Gains Rates Up to $38,700 $38,700–$426,700 Over $426,700 Over 1 year(long-term) 0% 15% 20% (a) If you are in the 25% tax bracket for ordinary income and have a 15% capital…
Now suppose you invest in both a factory and the research for the production of Green jetpacks. Look at the factory and research as a total investment. Calculate the net present value (NPV) before tax on the investment based on the following information: The investment cost is paid in full in quarter 0, and the cost of the factory is 100000 while the cost of the research is also 100000. The factory has a lifetime of 20 quarters (5 years) and the value of the factory at the end of quarter 20 is 0 Only green jetpacks should be produced at the factory throughout its lifetime. There is no investment in research to streamline production or material consumption. Suppose the quarterly demand in the market is constant and given at P = 338 - 0.018 * Q, where P is price and Q is the number of jetpacks in demand. There are 5 competitors in the market (including you), and all sell the same number of jetpacks each quarter at the price of 248 each. You produce as much as you sell. The costs…
You are planning to save for retirement over the next 30 years. To save for retirement, you will invest $1,200 a month in a stock account in real dollars and $545 a month in a bond account in real dollars. The effective annual return of the stock account is expected to be 11 percent and the bond account will earn 7 percent. When you retire, you will combine your money into an account with an effective annual return of 8 percent. The inflation rate over this period is expected to be an effective annual rate of 4 percent. a. How much can you withdraw each month from your account in real terms assuming a withdrawal period of 25 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the nominal dollar amount of your last withdrawal? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Your salary was deposited into your saving account on 30 April but you planned to spend the money in May. On 15 May, you went to a shopping mall and saw a Nike backpack which costs RM180 and a pair of Adidas shoes which costs RM220. You bought only the backpack as you needed to keep some money for use in a contingency. At the same time, you did not spend all your money as you want to hold some money ready for any investment opportunities which might arise in the future. Before you left the mall, a grocery store accepted your RM10.50 in exchange for sandwich and coffee. From the paragraph, find the evidence for: i) Money functioning as a medium of exchange. ii) Money functioning as a unit of account. iii) Money functioning as a store of value. iv) Money demand for transaction motive. v) Money demand for speculation motive. vi) Money demand
A Flexible Savings Account (FSA) plan allows you to put money into an account at the beginning of the calendar year that can be used for medical expenses. This amount is not subject to federal tax. As you pay medical expenses during the year, you are reimbursed by the administrator of the FSA until the money is exhausted. From that point on, you must pay your medical expenses out of your own pocket. On the other hand, if you put more money into your FSA than the medical expenses you incur, this extra money is lost to you. Your annual salary is $80,000 and your federal income tax rate is 30%. [1] Assume that your medical expenses in a year are normally distributed with mean $2000 and standard deviation $500. Build an @RISK model in which the output is the amount of money left to you after paying taxes, putting money in an FSA, and paying any extra medical expenses. Experiment with the amount of money put in the FSA, using a RISKSIMTABLE function. [2] Rework part a, but this time assume…
