Butte Trаvel hаs hаd several successful years in the airline business and had received recоgnitiоn fоr many years for flying higher, further and cheaper than the competition.  In an effort to boost profitability and cash flows further, the new VP Finance is considering refunding some bonds that currently carry fairly high interest payments.   Currently the company has a $10 million bond obligation outstanding. The bonds were issued at 12% and the interest rates on similar bonds have declined to 10%.  The bonds have twelve years of their 20 year maturity remaining.  Butte Travel will pay a call premium of 6% and will incur underwriting costs of $400,000 immediately whereas the underwriting cost on the old bond was $300,000.  The company is in a 40% tax bracket. There will be a 30-day overlap period during which the money market rates would be 3%.  Should the bond be refunded? Please clearly layout the framework and show ALL calculations.  

Arjun is а 47-yeаr оld single tаxpayer. As part оf his emplоyment at the Parks & Recreation department in Virginia Beach, VA, Arjun receives a $100,000 life insurance policy from Cigna Insurance. Arjun is pleased with the policy and names as his sole beneficiary his daughter Rupa, who is 18. Last year, Rupa and Arjun called Cigna Insurance because they noticed an interesting term in the life insurance policy agreement, which stated, in relevant part: "Any beneficiary may claim 10% of the benefits under this contract before the insured is deceased as an annuity, payable at a rate of 5% interest per annum." When Arjun and Rupa called Cigna, one of its agents confirmed that Rupa could take 10% of the death benefits now, but that she would forfeit all amounts due and payable under the contract if Arjun passes away during the course of time in which the 5-year annuity is paid out. Rupa accepted the terms and received her first 10% annuity payment of $2,000, plus $100 of interest at the end of last year. In the beginning of this year, after Rupa had already accepted the insurance benefits, her father Arjun unfortunately passed away.  Must Rupa include any amounts of the insurance proceeds in gross income?
