Bob's Lottery Incorporated has decided to offer winners a choice of $100,000 in 10 years or some amount currently. Assume that Bob's Lottery Incorporated earns a 10 percent after-tax rate of return. What amount should Bob's offer lottery winners currently in order to be indifferent between the two choices? (See Exhibit 3.1) NOTE: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.
Suppose that Thomas Lee is enrolled in a defined contribution plan in which the employer contributes $8,000 each year. Thomas is earning $80,000 this year and his tax rate is 30 percent (which is not expected to change). Assume that the before- tax rate of return is 8 percent.
(a) What is the additional amount of funds that Thomas will have when he reaches retirement in 10 years as a result of this year's service?
(b) Suppose that Thomas's employer is planning to reduce half of their contribution to the defined contribution plan. Assume that Thomas would like to keep his retirement funds the same as they would have been with the defined contribution plan. If Thomas's only opportunity to save for retirement is in a nonqualified savings plan (no tax benefits), how much would Thomas need to receive in additional salary (which he would then save) to achieve his objective?
Howie Long has just learned he has won a $500,000 prize in the lottery. The lottery has given him two options for receiving the payments. (1) If Howie takes all the money today, the state and federal governments will deduct taxes at a rate of 46% immediately. (2) Alternatively, the lottery offers Howie a payout of 20 equal payments of $36,000 with the first payment occurring when Howie turns in the winning ticket. Howie will be taxed on each of these payments at a rate of 25%.
Assuming Howie can earn an 8% rate of return (compounded annually) on any money invested during this period, compute the present value of the cash flows for annuity payout.

- On June 30, 2019, Kelly sold property for 240,000 cash and a 960,000 note due on September 30, 2020. The note will also pay 6% interest, which is slightly higher than the Federal rate. Kellys cost of the property was 400,000. She is concerned that Congress may increase the tax rate that will apply when the note is collected. Kellys after-tax rate of return on investments is 6%. a. What can Kelly do to avoid the expected higher tax rate? b. Assuming that Kellys marginal combined Federal and state tax rate is 25% in 2019, how much would the tax rates need to increase to make the option identified in part (a) advisable?arrow_forwardFloyd, a cash basis taxpayer, has received an offer to purchase his land. The cash basis buyer will pay him either 100,000 at closing or 50,000 at closing and 56,000 two years after the date of closing. If Floyd recognizes the entire gain in the current year, his marginal tax rate will be 25% (combined Federal and state rates). However, if he spreads the gain over the two years, his combined marginal tax rate on the gain will be only 20%. Floyd does not consider the buyer a credit risk, and he understands that shifting the gain to next year with an installment sale will save taxes. Still, he realizes that the deferred payment will, in effect, earn only 6,000 for waiting two years for the other 50,000. Floyd believes he can earn a 10% before-tax rate of return on his after-tax cash. Floyds adjusted basis for the land is 25,000, the buyer is also a cash basis taxpayer, and the short-term Federal rate is 4%. Floyd has asked you to evaluate the two alternatives on an after-tax basis.arrow_forwardA 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?arrow_forward
