Cindy's current year adjusted gross income (AGI) is $300,000 and her current year total tax liability is $60,000. Her immediate
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

The answer is $44,000

Explanation:

Solution

Given that

Now

Present/current year AGI = $300000

Present /current year tax liability = $60000

Prior year AGI = $200000

Prior year tax liability = $40000

Thus

As per Tax rule or applying the Tax rule

If Adjusted gross income(AGI) of prior year is below $250000 then the minimum required tax payment in the current year in order to avoid interest penalty is lower of

(1) 90% of present /current year tax (liability) or

(2) 110% of prior year tax liability

So

Because the prior year AGI is $200000 which is lower than $250000, in order to avoid interest penalty, the minimum required payment amount of tax liability in current/present year is lower of

(1) 90% of current year tax liability of $60000

Then

$60000 *90% = $54000

Or

(2)110% of prior year tax liability of $40000

$40000 ×110% = $44000

Hence, minimum required total tax payment amount for the current year is $44,000

A local pizzeria sells 500 large pepperoni pizzas per week at a price of $20 each. Suppose the owner of the pizzeria tells you t
kotegsom [21]

Answer: (1) 700 pizzas

(2) Its revenue increases by $2600.

Explanation:

Given that,

price elasticity of demand for his pizza = -4

Percentage change in price = 10%

Initial Quantity,Q_{0} = 500 Pizzas

Elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{Percentage\ change\ in\ price }

-4 = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity }{0.1 }

\frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity } = -4 × 0.1

\frac{Q_{1}-Q_{0}}{Q_{0}} = 0.4

\frac{Q_{1}-500}{500} = 0.4

∴ Q_{1} = 700

Initial price, P_{0} = $20

Changed price, P_{1} = $18

Revenue at t = 0

P_{0} Q_{0} = 500 × 20 =$10000

Revenue at t = 1

P_{1} Q_{1} = 700 × 18 = $12600

Therefore, from the above calculations it was seen that his revenue increases by ($12600 - $10000)= $2600 and its sales increases to 700.

P. Daves Inc's stock is currently sells for $45 per share. The stock's dividend is projected to increase at a constant rate of 4
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The price of the stock six years from now will be $56.94

Explanation:

To calculate the price of a stock that pays a dividend which grows at a constant rate forever, we use the constant growth model of DDM. The current price of stock using the constant growth model is calculated as follows,

P0 = D1 / r - g

As, we don't know the D1, that is dividend expected for the next year, we will calculate it first,

45 = D1 /  (0.12 - 0.04)

45 * (0.12-0.04)  =  D1

45 * (0.08) = D1

3.6 = D1

We use the D1 to calculate the price today. Thus, we will use D7 to calculate the price six years from now.

D7 = D1 * (1+g)^6

P6 = 3.6 * (1+0.04)^6  /  (0.12 - 0.04)

P6 = $56.939 rounded off to $56.94
