Note: This problem is for the 2018 tax year. Roberta Santos, age 41, is single and lives at 120 Sanborne Avenue, Springfield, IL 60781. Her Social Security number is 123-45-6789. Roberta has been divorced from her former husband, Wayne, for three years. She has a son, Jason, who is 17, and a daughter, June, who is 18. Jason's Social Security number is 111-11-1112, and June's is 123-45-6788. Roberta does not want to contribute $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. Roberta, an advertising executive, earned a salary from ABC Advertising of $80,000 in 2018. Her employer withheld $9,000 in Federal income tax and $3,100 in state income tax. Roberta has legal custody of Jason and June. The divorce decree provides that Roberta is to receive the dependency deductions for the children. Jason lives with his father during summer vacation. Wayne indicates that his expenses for Jason are $5,500. Roberta can document that she spent $6,500 for Jason's support during 2018. In prior years, Roberta gave a signed Form 8332 to Wayne regarding Jason. For 2018, she has decided not to do so. Roberta provides all of June's support. Roberta's mother died on January 7, 2018. Roberta inherited assets worth $625,000 from her mother. As the sole beneficiary of her mother's life insurance policy, Roberta received insurance proceeds of $300,000. Her mother's cost basis for the life insurance policy was $120,000. Roberta's favorite aunt gave her $13,000 for her birthday in October. On November 8, 2018, Roberta sells for $22,000 Amber stock that she had purchased for $24,000 from her first cousin, Walt, on December 5, 2012. Walt's cost basis for the stock was $26,000, and the stock was worth $23,000 on December 5, 2014. On December 1, 2018, Roberta sold Falcon stock for $13,500. She had acquired the stock on July 2, 2014, for $8,000. An examination of Roberta's records reveals that she received the following: Interest income of $2,500 from First Savings Bank. Groceries valued at $750 from Kroger Groceries for being the 100,000th customer. Qualified dividend income of $1,800 from Amber. Interest income of $3,750 on City of Springfield school bonds. Alimony of $16,000 from Wayne. Distribution of $4,800 from ST Partnership. Her distributive share of the partnership passive taxable income was $5,300. She had no prior passive activity losses during 2012. Assume that the qualified business income deduction applies and the W–2 wage limitation does not apply. From her checkbook records, she determines that she made the following payments during 2018: Charitable contributions of $4,500 to First Presbyterian Church and $1,500 to the American Red Cross (proper receipts obtained). Paid $5,000 to ECM Hospital for the medical expenses of a friend from work. Mortgage interest on her residence of $7,800 to Peoples Bank. Property taxes of $3,200 on her residence and $1,100 (ad valorem) on her car. $800 for landscaping expenses for residence.

Attorney's fees of $500 associated with unsuccessfully contesting the parking ticket. Contribution of $250 to the campaign of a candidate for governor. Because she did not maintain records of the sales tax she paid, she calculates the amount from the sales tax table to be $994. Required: Calculate Roberta's net tax payable or refund due for 2018. Assume a qualifying dividend and net capital gain rate of 15% rate. Enter all amounts as positive numbers. If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0". Make realistic assumptions about any missing data. It may be necessary to complete the tax schedules before completing Form 1040. When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar. Use the Tax Rate Schedule provided. Do not use the Tax Tables.

Not just shoes and handbags

Zentos is an $800 million a year online retailer of shoes and handbags. Zentos prides itself on its superior customer service and views this as a way of becoming an online store selling just about anything. Most online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores say they focus on their customers. What makes Zentos so special is that they really do.

New shoes for mom

Cecelia bought several pairs of shoes from Zentos for her ailing mother. She was unsure about the size as her mother had lost a lot of weight and her shoe size had changed. Zentos has free return shipping with UPS, so Cecelia was not worried about the cost to return those shoes that did not fit her mother. Only two pairs of shoes fit. Cecelia had intended to return the others, but her mother died, and returning the shoes slipped her mind. She got an email from Zentos asking her about the shoes. Cecelia replied that her mother had just died and that she would send the shoes back soon.

That little something extra

Zentos emailed Cecelia back saying UPS would pick up the shoes for return so she would not have to make the trip to UPS. This was not Zentos’ general policy. The next day, Zentos sent Cecelia a big, beautiful flower arrangement. This was definitely not Zentos’ policy! This was something one compassionate person (who happened to work at Zentos) did for another person. The amazing part was that Zentos was flexible enough to allow this extraordinary gesture to happen.

Spreading the news

Cecelia was so moved by Zentos’ show of compassion that she posted on the Great Customer Service blog telling the world about what Zentos had done for her. Her post was viewed by millions of people, many of whom responded with blogs postings of their own saying how they would be making their next shoe purchase at Zentos. The company delivered on its superior customer service promise - look where it got them.



Answer the following-:



Q. Cecelia’s positive experience with Zentos and her subsequent posting on the Great Customer Service blog was obviously good press for Zentos. Despite the good press of positive blog postings, what might Zentos have to fear from this method of e-marketing? Minimum 450 words.

The company I am using is Adidas, Inc for the year 2019.

Your task is to determine the WACC for a given firm using what you know about WACC, as well as data you can find through research. Your deliverable is a brief report in which you state your determination of WACC, describe and justify how you determined the number, and provide relevant information as to the sources of your data. Select a publicly traded company that has debt or bonds and common stock to calculate the current WACC. One good source for financial data for companies, as well as data about their equity, is Yahoo! Finance. By looking around this site, you should be able to find the market capitalization (E) as well as the β for any publicly traded company. There are not many places left where data about corporate bonds is still available. One of them is the Finra Bonds website. To find data for a particular company’s publicly traded bonds use the Quick Search feature, then be sure to specify corporate bonds and type in the name of the issuing company. This should give you a list of all of the company’s outstanding bond issues. Clicking on the symbol for a given bond issue will lead you to the current amount outstanding and the yield to maturity. You are interested in both. The total of all bonds outstanding is D in the above formula. If you like, you can use the YTM on a bond issue that is not callable as the pre-tax cost of debt for the company.

Assumptions: As you recall, the formula for WACC is: rWACC = (E/E+D) rE + D/(E+D) rD (1-TC) The formula for the required return on a given equity investment is: ri= rf + βi * (RMkt-rf) RMkt-rf is the Market Risk Premium. For this project, you may assume the Market Risk Premium is 5% unless you can develop a better number. rf is the risk-free rate. The risk-free rate is normally the yield on US Treasury securities such as a 10-year treasury. For this assignment, please use 3.5%. You may assume a corporate tax rate of 40%.

Submit the following: Write a 350- to 700-word report that contains the following elements: Your calculated WACC How data was used to calculate WACC (provide the formula and the formula with your values substituted) Sources for your data A discussion of how much confidence you have in your answer, including what the limiting assumptions you made were, if any Include a Microsoft® Excel® file showing your WACC calculations discussed above.
