Answer:

7%

Explanation:

Interest income if Curtis invested

250,000 x 9% = 22,500

After tax interest income = 22,500 - (22,500 x 24%)

= 17,100

After tax rate of return = 17,100/250000

0.068

Approximately 7%

Answer:

7%

Explanation:

Municipal bonds (includes both state, county and city bonds) are not subject to federal income taxes, so the after tax rate of return on the city of Athens bond is the same as its coupon rate ⇒ 7%.

In a matter of reciprocity, US securities (federal government) are not subject to state or local taxes.

Some poople argue that the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth is the entreprenceur him/herselt Do you agree? Why or
Ugo [173]

I do not agree that “the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth is the entrepreneur him/herself.”

The entrepreneur may be the chief beneficiary when she is alive to reap the rewards of their entrepreneurial efforts. But, she is certainly not the only beneficiary of the entrepreneurial wealth that she creates. Nobody works in isolation. When the entrepreneur commences her business, society as a whole benefits because any individual wealth created increases the wealth of the nation and the world. She only gets the profit share of the created wealth. Customers who patronize her services and goods also derive satisfaction of needs (utility or value). The entrepreneur's wealth is also shared to the government in form of taxes. Suppliers of primary goods and services also share in the wealth of the entrepreneur. And employees of the entrepreneur also take a large share of the created wealth.

But, who is an entrepreneur? She is somebody who assumes some entrepreneurial (first-time) risks in order to set up a business for the manufacture or provision of goods and services for the purpose of profit. Her business may not be profitable in the short-run. She can even lose tons of money initially until the profit stage sets in. As she preserves, the profits will start rolling in, provided she had done her homework well.

Initiative is an important quality because it proves that you want to do your job or task successfully and independently. Lack of initiative shows laziness and/or low confidence in one's skills.

Ann [662]

Answer:

the after tax cost of debt is 3.90 %.

Explanation:

The Cost of debt is the rate required on the bond and this is calculated as follows :

PV = - $2,201

n = 21 × 2 = 42

PMT =  ($2,000 × 7.38 %) ÷ 2 = $73.80

P/YR = 2

FV = $2,000

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the Pre-tax Cost of debt, r is 6.4963% or 6.50 % (2 decimal places)

After tax cost of debt = Interest rate × (1 - tax rate)

                                   = 6.50 % × (1 - 0.40)

                                   = 3.90 %

Answer:

it is not easy to carry out the functions of marketing intermediaries, and that probably they will not perform them very efficiently.

Explanation:

Marketing intermediaries play a huge role in the market channel distribution of all goods. They help reduce or rather bridge that gap that exist between the producers and the final consumers.

As marketing intermediaries, they are specialized in their job duties and because of that are the most effective and efficient in playing that role. It thus, becomes very difficult to carry out functions of what you aren't specialized in.
