Answer:
Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%
Explanation:
marginal tax rate = MTR
After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%
The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%
Therefore,
6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)
6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR
6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR
-0.051 = -0.12*MTR
MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425
MTR = 42.5%
The journal entry on May 1 was:
A debit to Prepaid Insurance for 15,600
And a credit to cash for 15,600
Prepaid Insurance is the share of an insurance premium that
has been paid in early and has not finished as of the balance sheet date.
The monthly insurance payment for two years is computed by 15,600/24
months which is $650 per month.
At December 31 the adjusting entry would be:
A debit to Insurance Expense 5,200
And a credit to Prepaid Insurance for 5,200
5,200 is computed by:
650 x 8 months (starting from May 1 to December 31) = 5,200
Answer:
B. Take defensive strike action.
Explanation:
One of the functions of a trade union or labor union is to protect the interest of its members in a workplace. So, if a profit firm treats its workers poorly by underfunding contribution to workers pension as required under a collective agreement while paying out record bonuses to executives then attempts attempt to reduce workers pension entitlements, the union members will most likely embark on an industrial strike.
The aim of the strike is to halt daily operations of the firm until their demands are heard and an agreement is reached. The members of the union were treated unfairly by the firm by not honoring their pension funding agreement and to make matters worse the decided to try and reduce the workers pension.
If the members don't embark on the industrial strike, the firm would reduce their pension benefits. The most likely action of the union members would be to embark on a defensive strike action to protect themselves.
