If she were to move to another state where her marginal state rate would be 10 percent, would her choice be any different? Assume that Dana itemizes deductions. When the state rate is 5 percent, Dana would achieve the following returns from the Treasury bond or the corporate bond: The Treasury bond yields $1,125 or $30,000 x [.05 x (1-.25)] after tax. The corporate bond yields $1,282.50 or $30,000 x [.06 x (1 - .25 - .05(1-.25))] after tax. Note that the actual state rate is reduced by 25% to allow for the deductibility of state income taxes on the federal income tax return.
To forecast 2010 sales based on 2009 sales, Equation 1 must be used: St = $500,000 + $1.10St–1 S2010 = $500,000 + $1.10($1,500,000) = $2,150,000 3. Equation 2 requires a forecast of gross domestic product. Equation 3 uses the actual gross domestic product for the past year and, therefore, is observable. 4. Advantages: Using the highest R2, the lowest
C) The answers are different because if the interest is left untouched, it makes the principal amount higher each year, giving more money after 10 years. Compounded interest allows for more money that simple interest would. 2. A) If the individual retires at the age of 65, having started the program at age 40, there would be $219,318 in the account. $3,000 x (8% in 25 years) 3000 x 73.106 = $219,318 B) If
Chapter 8: Date placed in service (see concept summary 8.1 in the text). The applicable system of depreciation or cost recovery is dependent on the date the property is placed in service. The small business jobs act of 2010 extended 50% additional first-year depreciation for qualified property acquired and placed in service before january 1, 2011. The tax relief act of 2010 extended additional first-year depreciation for qualified property acquired and placed in service before january 1, 2013. The percentage is 100% for property placed in service after september 8, 2010 and before january 1, 2012.
FI 515 Course Project a) The net cost of the spectrometer would include the original cost of the equipment, the modification costs and the increase in working capital due to having the equipment. Therefore, the net cost would be the $70,000 base costs, plus the $15,000 in modification costs and the $4,000 in capital, which equals $89,000. b) To find the operating cash flows for the three years, we have to find the cost savings after taxes and add the tax of depreciation. To find the cost savings, we have to take the $25,000 that is expected to be saved and reduce it based on a tax of 40%, or $25,000(1-.4), which equals $15,000. The tax on depreciation requires several steps to calculate.
(public.alliedpilots.org) 2. The APA headquarters is located in Fort Worth TX near the DFW airport. It also serves as certified collective bargaining agent for all 10,000 pilots that work for American Airlines. (public.alliedpilots.org) 3. The APA devoted more that 20% of its dues income to support aviation safety.
A reasonable approximation of these cash outflows would be $900 million, occurring as follows: End of Year 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 Time “Index” t=0 t=1 t=2 t=3 t=4 Cash Flow ($mm) -$100 -$200 -$200 -$200 -$200 According to Lockheed testimony, the production phase was to run from the end of 1971 to the end of 1977, with about 210 Tri Stars as the planned output. At that production rate, the average unit production cost2 would be about $14 million per aircraft. The inventory-intensive production costs would be relatively front-loaded, so that the $490 million ($14 million per plane, 35 planes per year) annual production costs can be assumed to occur in six equal increments at the end of years 1971-1976 (t=4 through t=9). Revenues In 1968, the expected price to be received for the L-1011 Tri Star was about $16 million per aircraft. These revenue flows would be characterized by a lag of a year to the production cost outflows; annual revenues of $560 million can be assumed to occur in six equal increments at the end of
The A380 made its first commercial flight in 2007. Capable of flying over 8000 nautical miles without refuelling, the A380 would be ideal for long-haul passengers and freight applications. By 2009, A380 production was several years behind its contracted delivery schedule and some airlines cancelled their orders. The survival and future success of Airbus, including the employment of 52,000 people at 16 sites in France, Germany, UK and Spain, depended critically on A380 meeting its sales targets over the medium and longer term. Airbus and Boeing focus on medium and long-haul jet aircraft with 100+ seats.
The first step in helping Prescott was to calculate a new cost of capital—as the one used by WPC was 10 years old. I used the weighted average cost of capital equation to calculate a new WACC of 9.97%. My calculations are and assumptions are shown in further detail in the attached sheets. Next, I had to generate the free cash flows for years 2007-2013 using Prescott’s given assumptions. * $18 M purchase price * $1.8 M selling price * Investment in PPE (2007) was $16 M * Investment in PPE (2008) was $2 M * $4 M in Sales (2008) * $10 M in Sales (2009-2013) * COGS: 75% of Sales * SG&A: 5% of Sales * $2 M Operating Savings (2008) * $3.5 M Operating Savings (2009-2013) * Depreciation was on a straight-line basis for 6 years beginning in 2008 * $18 M / 6 years = $3 M * 40% tax rate * NWC: 10% of Sales * Salvage value was zero * The FCF per year was determined using the following: * Net Income + Depreciation Expense - ∆ Net Working Capital + Investment in PPE After generating the FCF for each year, I had to solve for NPV and IRR to value the investment.
The major networking airlines in the industry are united, Northwest, American Continental, and Delta. Their combined revenue in 2005 made up of about 82 percent of the total $25.3 billion revenue generated by the 10 largest airlines. Low-cost carriers operate at a low-cost business model, they use the point-to-point flight system. the largest carrires in the model are Southwest and JetBlue. Regional carriers specialized in short-haul flights that caters to small towns and communities using small jets.
