Answer 1

Question - 7

The Answer is “FALSE”

An operating lease is usually a shorter-term lease in which the lessor is responsible for insurance, taxes, and upkeep.

Question - 8

The Answer is “d. $51,500”

Tax for the first $50,000 = $7,500 [ $50,000 x 15%]

Tax for the next $25,000 = $6,250 [$25,000 x 25%]

Tax for the next $25,000 = $8,500 [$25,000 x 0.34]

Tax for the remaining $75,000 = $29,250 [ $75,000 x 39%]

Therefore, Firms total tax bill = $7,500 + 6,250 + 8,500 + 29,250 = $51,500

Question - 9

The Answer is “b. $275”

Capital gain on this investment = [Selling price – Purchase Price] x Number of shares purchased

= [$49.00 – 46.25] x 100 Shares

= $2.75 x 100 Shares

= $275

Question – 10

The Answer is “c. 42 percent

Value of Debt [Bond] = $375,000 x 85% = $318,750

Value of common stock = 21,000 shares x $21 = $441,000

Total Value = $318,750 + 441,000 = $759,750

Weight of the debt relates to the firm's weighted average cost of capital

=[ $318,750 / 759,750 ] x 100

= 42%
