Carlson Manufacturing has $1,000 extra cash.

620 -- S10After completing its capital spending for the year, Carlson Manufacturing has $1,000 extra cash. Carlson's managers must choose between investing the cash in Treasury bonds that yield 8 percent or paying the cash out to investors who would invest in the bonds themselves.a) If the corporate tax rate is 35 percent, what personal tax rate would make the investors equally willing to receive the dividend or to let Carlson invest the money? Is this answer reasonable? Why or why not?b) Suppose the only investment choice is a preferred stock that yields 12 percent. The corporate dividend exclusion of 70 percent applies. What personal tax rate will make the stockholders indifferent to the outcome of Carlson's dividend decisions?c) Is this a compelling argument for a low dividend payout ration? Why or why not?See the attached template.

This assignment allows students to develop exam study guides, while also helping classmates. Students have been divided into groups (approximately 4 people in each group). To work with your group, and post the two required postings, go to the Blackboard course website and choose “My Groups” from the left side menu.

  Reflection Students are encouraged to create portfolios and begin to "manage" their careers. When you began a college education you took the first step. You now need to begin to reflect on the next goal, then medium, and long-term goals. I did not complete my final degree until well into my 50's. And that is fine, I loved my health care career. I was eager to care for patients and did not leave direct patient care for many decades. I did know the time would come to do so however, and began to earn the college degrees I would need at the proper time. This is what is meant by managing your career. This is an entry level program. It is designed to assist you in getting your "foot in the door" where you can learn valuable clinical skills. A common and important degree is the Bachelor of Health Information Management (BS-HIM).
