Married couples can file taxes jointly or separately. Both have their advantages and disadvantages but generally, for spouses earning more or less the same amount of money, especially if both are high-income earners, filing separately might allow them to pay less tax as filing jointly would probably make their combined income reach a higher tax bracket.

Answer:
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
The formula to compute the present value interest factor using excel is as:
= 1/(1+r)^ n
where
r is the rate
n is number of years
So, in case of A,
The present value interest factor is:
= 1/(1+0.06)^5
= 0.74725
In case of B,
The present value interest factor is:
= 1/(1+0.06)^8
= 0.62741
In case of C,
The present value interest factor is:
= 1/(1+0.06)^10
= 0.55839
In case of D,
The present value interest factor is:
= 1/(1+0.08)^5
= 0.68058
In case of E,
The present value interest factor is:
= 1/(1+0.08)^10
= 0.46319
Therefore, it is highest in option A.
Answer:
The question is missing stock quotes which are found in the attached.
The maximum price that Norman Pilbarra will pay to buy 400 shares is $103.8 per share.
Explanation:
Judging from the attached stock quotes,the first 200 shares offered for sale is $103.5 per share while the next 200 shares is at a price of $103.8.
This then means that the maximum price for 200 shares is $103.8.This information is derived from the ask prices not bid prices since ask price is for sale,whereas bid is for purchase.

Answer:
Please see below.
Explanation:
a.
• Reasonable compensation package. Every stockholders would usually want a good return on their investments. One of the techniques that can be used by them is to offer good and reasonable compensation packages to the company's highly performing executives and managers. The aim is to spur them to act in the best interest of the stockholders and not themselves. This will also translate to better performance of the company.
• Firing of managers who don't perform well. If a company's stock is not performing well(does not appreciate), such would usually be tied to its board and managers. Stockholders are the owners of a company because their funds are being used to trade hence can threaten to replace or actually replace any manager who is not performing well. By so doing, the managers that are retained will be motivated to perform really well in order to retain their jobs hence translate to better company performance.
• Threat of hostile take over. Stockholders could also threaten a company's board of being taken over by a proven and well accomplished company , if their stock price does not improve overtime. When the managers or board realize that their job is being threatened, they will be motivated to act fast by ensuring that the company's stocks yield adequate return in the long run.
b.
What should be paramount to managers is how to ensure that their company's intrinsic stocks value(an estimate of the true value of a stock, that is premised on well calculated risk) are well maximized. The stockholders should also be carried along while this process is on going. By maximizing their stock's intrinsic value, such would bring about high value to the stocks, while as time goes on, the actual stock price will be much closer to the intrinsic value of the stocks.
