FUNDAMENTALS OF CORPORATE FINANCE, Chapter 3, Problem 26QP

If the taxable income is $20,000 then up to $9,525 the tax rate is 10% and after that remaining balance is charged under 12% tax rate.

Calculation of taxes:

Taxes=($9,525×0.10)+(($20,000$9,525)×0.12)=$2,209.50

Hence, taxes are $2,209.50

Calculation of Average tax rate:

Averagetaxrate=$2,209.50$20,000=0.1105=11.05%

Hence, average tax rate is 11.05%

The marginal rate of tax is the tax rate that a person is incurred on his income of each additional dollar. Here the marginal rate is 12% incurred on each additional dollar of his income.

Given information:

The income of the single tax payer is $50,000.

If the taxable income is $50,000 then up to $9,525 the tax rate is 10%, after that tax rate is 12% up to $38,700 then, after remaining balance is charged under 22% tax rate.

Calculation of taxes:

Taxes=($9,525×0.10)+(($38,700$9,525)×0.12)+(($50,000$38,700)×0.22)=$6,939.50

Hence, taxes are $6,939.50

Calculation of Average tax rate:

Averagetaxrate=$6,939.50$50,000=0.1388=13.88%

Hence, average tax rate is 13.88%

The marginal rate of tax is the tax rate that a person is incurred on his income of each additional dollar. Here the marginal rate is 22% incurred on each additional dollar of his income.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The income of the single tax payer is $300,000.

If the taxable income is $300,000 then up to $9,525 the tax rate is 10%, after that tax rate is 12% up to $38,700, up to $82,500 the tax rate is 22% and up to $157,500 the tax rate is 24% and up to $200,000 the tax rate is 32%, then the remaining balance is charged under 35% tax rate.

Calculation of taxes:

Taxes=($9,525×0.10)+(($38,700$9,525)×0.12)+(($82,500$38,700)×0.22)+(($157,000$82,500)×0.24)+(($200,000$157,000)×0.32)+(($300,000$200,000)×0.35)=$78,445.50

Hence, taxes are $78,445.50

Calculation of Average tax rate:

Averagetaxrate=$78445.50$300,000=0.2614=26.14%

Hence, average tax rate is 26.14%

The marginal rate of tax is the tax rate that a person is incurred on his income of each additional dollar. Here the marginal rate is 35% incurred on each additional dollar of his income.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The income of the single tax payer is $3,000,000.

If the taxable income is $3,000,000 then up to $9,525 the tax rate is 10%, after that tax rate is 12% up to $38,700, up to $82,500 the tax rate is 22% and up to $157,500 the tax rate is 24% and up to $200,000 the tax rate is 32%, and up to $500,000 the tax rate is 35% then the remaining balance is charged under 37% tax rate.

Calculation of taxes:

Taxes=($9,525×0.10)+(($38,700$9,525)×0.12)+(($82,500$38,700)×0.22)+(($157,000$82,500)×0.24)+(($200,000$157,000)×0.32)+(($500,000$200,000)×0.35)+(($3,000,000$500,000)×0.37)=$1,075,689.50

Hence, taxes are $1,075,689.50

Calculation of Average tax rate:

Averagetaxrate=$1,075,689.50$3,000,000=0.3586=35.86%

Hence, average tax rate is 35.86%

The marginal rate of tax is the tax rate that a person is incurred on his income of each additional dollar. Here the marginal rate is 37% incurred on each additional dollar of his income.

Exercises & Problems Saved Help Sa Scribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments-Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.

With the growing popularity of casual surf print clothing, two recent MBA graduates decided to broaden this casual surf concept to encompass a "surf lifestyle for the home." With limited capital, they decided to focus on surf print table and floor lamps to accent people's homes. They projected unit sales of these lamps to be 7,600 in the first year, with growth of 5 percent each year for the next five years. Production of these lamps will require $41,000 in net working capital to start. The net working capital will be recovered at the end of the project. Total fixed costs are $101,000 per year, variable production costs are $25 per unit, and the units are priced at $52 each. The equipment needed to begin production will cost $181,000. The equipment will be depreciated using the straight-line method over a five-year life and is not expected to have a salvage value. The effective tax rate is 21 percent and the required rate of return is 23 percent. What is the NPV of this project? Note:…
