Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Part a. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $0

Since, The sum of modified AGI plus 50% Social Security benefits he received (i.e. $12,100 + 250 + $8,200*50% = $16,450) is below the minimum amount ($25,000 or less for single taxpayers) for including Social Security benefits.

Part b. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $850

Since, in this case Grady files single and his modified AGI plus 50% of his Social Security benefits (i.e. $22,000 + 600 + $4,100 = $26,700) falls between $25,000 and $34,000.

Thus, his taxable Social Security benefits = (a) $8,200*50%= $4,100 or 50%of [$26,700 - $25,000] Whichever is less

= (a) $4,100 or $850 whichever is less = $850

Part c. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, in this case he files married & jointly, he will include 85% of total Social Security benefits = $8,200*85% = $6,970 because his modified AGI is above the maximum amount of $44,000 for married filing jointly for including Social Security benefits.

Part d. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, here Grady files married jointly and his modified AGI + 50% of Social Security benefits (i.e. $44,000 + 700 + $4,100 = $48,800) are greater than $44,000.

Thus, taxable social security benefits = (a) 85% of 8,200 = $6,970 or (b) 85% of (48,800 - 44,000) = $4,080 + lesser of 6,000 or 4,100 whichever is less

= (a) $6,970 or (b) $4,080 + 4,100 = $8,180 whichever is less

= $6,970

Part e. The amount of benefit that Grady include in his gross income = $6,970

Since, here Grady files married & separately:

Thus, taxable social security benefits = (a) 85% of $8,200 = $6,970 or (b) 85% of ( $22,000 + 600 + $4,100 = $22,695 ,whichever is less

= $6,970

If a firm plans to issue new stock, flotation costs (investment bankers' fees) should not be ignored. there are two approaches to use to account for flotation costs. the first approach is to add the sum of flotation costs for the debt, preferred, and common stock and add them to the initial investment cost. because the investment cost is increased, the project's expected return is reduced so it may not meet the firm's hurdle rate for acceptance of the project. the second approach involves adjusting the cost of common equity as follows: . the difference between the flotation-adjusted cost of equity and the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment represents the flotation cost adjustment. quantitative problem: barton industries expects next year's annual dividend, d1, to be $1.90 and it expects dividends to grow at a constant rate g = 4.3%. the firm's current common stock price, p0, is $22.00. if it needs to issue new common stock, the firm will encounter a 6% flotation cost, f. assume that the cost of equity calculated without the flotation adjustment is 12% and the cost of old common equity is 11.5%. what is the flotation cost adjustment that must be added to its cost of retaine
