After completing its capital spending for the year, Carlson Manufacturing has $2,700 of extra cash. The company’s managers must choose between investing the cash in Treasury bonds that yield 3.7 percent or paying the cash out to investors who would invest in the bonds themselves. |
| a. |
If the corporate tax rate is 22 percent, what personal tax rate would make the investors equally willing to receive the dividend or to let the company invest the money? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 32.) |
| b. | Is the answer to (a) reasonable? |
|
| c. |
Suppose the only investment choice is a preferred stock that yields 5.9 percent. The corporate dividend exclusion of 50 percent applies. What personal tax rate will make the stockholders indifferent to the outcome of the company’s dividend decision? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) |
| d. | Is this a compelling argument for a low dividend payout ratio? |

The country has an initiative for students in underperforming schools. To get funding, schools provide each student with eight 2-hour-long group teachering sessions each month. Also, parents must agree to pay $10 per month for each child they register for the program. The county will pay each school $200 per enrolled child, per month.
Schools must provide one teacher for every five students enrolled in the program, at a cost of
$50 per hour at a teacher’s home school, or $60 per hour if the teacher has to commute from another school in the system.
Schools that participate also need to acquire a site license for a self-study computer program, at a cost of $2,400 per year regardless of the number of students. The school also incurs a cost of $1.50 per child, per teachering session, for workbooks that are tied to the self-study program.
Generally, the county takes one month to pay bills submitted by schools. Parents pay all tuition bills at the beginning of each month. Participating teachers are paid for all after-school programs at the end of each month. The full cost of the software must be paid by the end of the first month of the program. Workbooks are paid for in the month they are used.
You are the budget manager for Typical County School (TCS). Five teachers in your school have agreed to be teachers. Since you expect to need 15 teachers by the end of the year, you will also use 10 teachers from other schools, as needed. Your calculations indicate an expected 25 students in the program during the first month it is offered. 41 in the second month and 52 in the third month. As budget manager:

George Young Industries (GYI) acquired industrial robots at the
beginning of 2018 and added them to the company’s assembly process.
During 2021, management became aware that the $2.8 million cost of
the equipment was inadvertently recorded as repair expense on GYI’s
books and on its income tax return. The industrial robots have
10-year useful lives and no material salvage value. This class of
equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method for financial
reporting purposes and for tax purposes it is considered to be
MACRS 7-year property. Cost deducted over 7 years by the modified
accelerated recovery system as follows:
| Year | MACRS Deductions |

Net Present Value of Payouts The NPV of a series of values is calculated using a discount rate applied to those values. Apply the NPV function to the series of expected benefit payouts using .075 as the discount rate. You can hard-code the discount rate. How would you calculate this in Excel? Please show calculation and logic used in excel, so I understand. Below are the values:

The following table lists the cross elasticity of demand for several goods, where the percentage quantity change is measured for the first good of the pair, and the percentage price change is measured for the second good.
Good Cross elasticity of demand
Air-conditioning units and kilowatts of electricity -0.34
Coke and Pepsi 0.63
High-fuel-consuming SUVs and gasoline -0.28
McDonald’s burgers and Harvey burgers 0.82
Butter and Margarine 1.54
1.Explain the sign of each of the cross elasticities. What does it imply about relationship between the two goods in questions.
2. Compare the absolute value of the cross elasticities and explain their magnitudes. For example, why is the cross elasticity of demand of McDonald’s burgers and Harvey’s burgers less than cross elasticity of butter and margarine?
3. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 5% increase in the price of Pepsi affects the quantity of Coke demanded.
4. Use the information in the table to calculate how a 10% decrease in the price of gasoline affects the quantity of SUVs demanded
