“Suppose that you have saved €1,000 this year. Borrowing or lending is not possible because there are no financial markets. If you do not have an investment opportunity that will permit you to earn income with your savings, you will just hold on to the €1,000 and will earn no interest. However, Carl the carpenter has a productive use for your €1,000: he can use it to purchase a new tool that will shorten the time it takes him to build a house, thereby earning an extra €200 per year. If you could get in touch with Carl, you could lend him the €1,000 at a rental fee (interest) of €100 per year, and both of you would be better off. You would earn €100 per year on your €1,000, instead of the zero amount that you would earn otherwise, while Carl would earn €100 more income per year.

As we have seen, Carl the carpenter needs €1,000 for his new tool, and you know that it is an excellent investment opportunity. You have the cash and would like to lend him the money, but to protect your investment you have to hire a lawyer to write up the loan contract that specifies how much interest Carl will pay you, when he will make these interest payments, and when he will repay you the €1,000. Obtaining the contract will cost you €500. When you figure out this transaction cost for making the loan, you realise that you can’t earn enough from the deal (you spend €500 to make perhaps €100) and reluctantly tell Carl that he will have to look elsewhere.” (Mishkin, Matthews, Giuliodori, The Economics of Money, Banking and Financial Markets, 2013).

Can the deal (contract) still be made even with the €500 charged by the lawyer? How? Which variable in the contract can be changed and by how much?

DataSpan, Inc., automated its plant at the start of the current year and installed a flexible manufacturing system. The company is also evaluating its suppliers and moving toward Lean Production. Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Month

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

A five (5) year old girl is repeatedly brought to the clinic with history of diarrhea and vomiting accompanied by abdominal cramps. History taking reveals that the family stays in a crowded area with very poor sanitation. There is no toilet in their compound and the family uses nearby bushes. The family enjoys vegetable salads. The only source of water for the family and domestic animals is an unprotected nearby stream which is always infested with rotten dead animals. In addition, dirty water is discarded any how around the compound and sometimes it is used in the garden.

Use the above scenario to answer the questions that follow:

a. Explain any five (5) instructive measures you would provide to this family to stop prevent recurrences of diarrhea and vomiting. Explain your points with reasons

Note: This problem is for the 2018 tax year.

Lance H. and Wanda B. Dean are married and live at 431 Yucca Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Lance works for the convention bureau of the local Chamber of Commerce, while Wanda is employed part-time as a paralegal for a law firm.

During 2018, the Deans had the following receipts:

Salaries ($60,000 for Lance, $41,000 for Wanda) $101,000
Interest income—
   City of Albuquerque general purpose bonds $1,000
   Ford Motor company bonds 1,100
   Ally Bank certificate of deposit 400 2,500
Child support payments from John Allen 7,200
Annual gifts from parents 26,000
Settlement from Roadrunner Touring Company 90,000
Lottery winnings 600
Federal income tax refund (for tax year 2017) 400

Wanda was previously married to John Allen. When they divorced several years ago, Wanda was awarded custody of their two children, Penny and Kyle. (Note: Wanda has never issued a Form 8332 waiver.) Under the divorce decree, John was obligated to pay alimony and child support—the alimony payments were to terminate if Wanda remarried.

In July, while going to lunch in downtown Santa Fe, Wanda was injured by a tour bus. As the driver was clearly at fault, the owner of the bus, Roadrunner Touring Company, paid her medical expenses (including a one-week stay in a hospital). To avoid a lawsuit, Roadrunner also transferred $90,000 to her in settlement of the personal injuries she sustained.

The Deans had the following expenditures for 2018:

Medical expenses (not covered by insurance) $7,200
Taxes—
   Property taxes on personal residence $3,600
   State of New Mexico income tax (includes amount withheld
       from wages during 2018) 4,200 7,800
Interest on home mortgage (First National Bank) 6,000
Charitable contributions 3,600
Life insurance premiums (policy on Lance's life) 1,200
Contribution to traditional IRA (on Wanda's behalf) 5,000
Traffic fines 300
Contribution to the reelection campaign fund of the mayor of Santa Fe 500
Funeral expenses for Wayne Boyle 6,300

The life insurance policy was taken out by Lance several years ago and designates Wanda as the beneficiary. As a part-time employee, Wanda is excluded from coverage under her employer's pension plan. Consequently, she provides for her own retirement with a traditional IRA obtained at a local trust company. Because the mayor is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, Lance felt compelled to make the political contribution.

The Deans' household includes the following, for whom they provide more than half of the support:

Social Security Number Birth Date
Lance Dean (age 42) 123-45-6786 12/16/1976
Wanda Dean (age 40) 123-45-6787 08/08/1978
Penny Allen (age 19) 123-45-6788 10/09/1999
Kyle Allen (age 16) 123-45-6789 05/03/2002
Wayne Boyle (age 75) 123-45-6785 06/15/1943

Penny graduated from high school on May 9, 2018, and is undecided about college. During 2018, she earned $8,500 (placed in a savings account) playing a harp in the lobby of a local hotel. Wayne is Wanda's widower father who died on January 20, 2018. For the past few years, Wayne qualified as a dependent of the Deans.

Federal income tax withheld is $5,200 (Lance) and $2,100 (Wanda). The proper amount of Social Security and Medicare tax was withheld.

Required:

Determine the Federal income tax for 2018 for the Deans on a joint return by providing the following information that would appear on Form 1040 and Schedule A. They do not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. All members of the family had health care coverage for all of 2018. If an overpayment results, it is to be refunded to them.

Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.

Enter all amounts as positive numbers.

If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0".

When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

Provide the following that would be reported on Lance and Wanda Dean's Form 1040.

1. Filing status and dependents: The taxpayers' filing status:

1. Calculate the deduction allowed for medical expenses.

2. Calculate the deduction for taxes.

3. Calculate the deduction for interest.

4. Calculate the charitable contribution deduction allowed.

5. Calculate total itemized deductions.

2018 Tax Rate Schedules

Use the 2018 Tax Rate Schedules to compute the tax.

Note: Because the tax rate schedules are used instead of the tax tables, the amount of tax computed may vary slightly from the amount listed in the tables. This variation occurs because the tax for a particular income range in the tax table is based on the midpoint amount.

Suppose that it is January, and your bank makes a $1 million loan with a one-year maturity and carries 4% fixed interest rate. The bank initially finances the loan by issuing a $1 million 3-month Eurodollar CD paying 2.5%. After the first three months, the bank expects to finance the loan by issuing another $1 million 3-month Eurodollar CD in April (assume the rate becomes 2.9%), and another $1 million 3-month Eurodollar CD in June (assume the rate becomes 2.4%), and another $1 million 3month Eurodollar CD in Sept. (assume the rate becomes 3.25%).
Suppose that you want to hedge the interest rate risk through options on financial futures. Your bank decides to buy one put option on each of the June, September, and December Eurodollar futures at 97.5 strike price. The option premium paid for June is .35; for September .75; and for December is 1.12.
Suppose also that on June, the Eurodollar future rate becomes 3.1% and the put option premium becomes .55. In Sept., the Eurodollar future rate becomes 2.8% and the put option premium becomes .45. In Dec., Eurodollar future rate becomes 4.3% and the put option premium becomes 1.95
You need to set-up a table that shows (1) profit and loss profile of your bank hedge operation; (2) the effective average cost of your bank CD
