When a credit card is lost or stolen, it can be used until its
owner reports it as missing. This loss of one’s credit card can
result in fraud and therefore, being aware of the legalities that
follow is important. This assignment addresses the legal
ramifications.
Consider the following scenario:
Furman Smoogie, a sales and marketing representative for the
Rubberman Corporation in Centervale, took his client Warren
Sacamano to an expensive lunch at a fancy steakhouse. At the
time of paying the bill, Furman noticed that his American
Express card was missing from his wallet. He used his Visa card
instead. While driving home, Furman realized that he had last
used the missing American Express card about a week earlier
when he dined at a local sushi bar. He was now concerned that
a sales clerk may have used the card to make fraudulent
purchases.
Using your assigned readings, , and the Internet, prepare a
paper which addresses the following:

• Review and identify Furman’s legal rights in this situation.
• Explain the probability that Furman will have to pay
American Express for any illegal charges to the account.
• Evaluate the steps which he should take in order to protect
himself from further loss as a result of losing his card.
Support your statements with examples and at least three
scholarly references, including your textbook.
Write a 2–3-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards
to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention:

Financial Planning NEW
Tax Issues Associated with Financial Planning
Understanding the tax consequences of your financial planning
decisions is very important. These decisions may sometimes
have life-long consequences in addition to a one-time result.
For example, when a person decides to save for retirement,
there are tax consequences for each year when money is added
to the account as well as when it grows. There are additional
consequences later when that person decides to retire and use
the money to live on.
This assignment looks at another example of tax issues
associated with financial planning. You will look at the use of
tax-exempt investment instruments such as municipal bonds,
as an alternative to traditional investments, and corporate
bonds or stocks.
Consider the following:

Bill Smith, a manager of a restaurant/bar in Los Angeles, is in
the 25% marginal tax bracket and pays an additional 5% in
taxes to the state of California. Bill has $20,000 invested in
corporate bonds which is currently earning an average annual
return of 7.5%.
Additionally, Bill also has another $20,000 invested in
municipal bonds from the city of Los Angeles that are being
used to redevelop depressed areas downtown. These bonds pay
an average return of 5.4%.
Assume that in both cases, Bill earns the same returns as
calculated on both the corporate and municipal bonds each
year for the next 15 years.
Answer the following:
• What is the after-tax return on Bill’s corporate bonds for the
current year?
• What is the after-tax return on his municipal bonds for the
current year?
• Which investment earns more returns: corporate or
municipal bonds?
• What would the balance in each account be at the end of the
fifteenth year?

ira%E2%80%99s-recent
This Tutorial contains 2 Presentations
For this assignment, you will prepare a PowerPoint
presentation evaluating and explaining the 401(k) and
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) at a local community
center, where you have been invited to speak. The audience
will be a group of people who already work for companies that
provide a 401(k) plan, so they are familiar with the basic
concepts. The goal of the presentation is to explain to the
audience the differences between the 401(k) and IRAs. Include
the following:
• Explain which account would earn more money for the
investor: a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Support your
statements with reasons and examples.

• Describe how people can identify their federal tax brackets.
• Use the following hypothetical questions/situations to explain
the retirement plans in further detail.
1. If you were to invest $3,500 in traditional IRA and a Roth IRA,
after making adjustments for possible tax deductions, what
would your net contributionbe for both the traditional and
Roth IRA? Explain any differences your research shows.
2. Once the traditional IRA or Roth IRA is established, you
decide to invest the proceeds in a mutual fund. Identify the type
of mutual fund you would select. Examples include stocks,
bonds, or a balanced mutual fund. Using the Internet, research
and select a specific mutual fund that meets your desired risk
tolerance. You can use examples of mutual fund companies
such as Oppenheimer and Franklin Templeton. Be sure to
justify your selection.
3. Based on the average annual return on the mutual fund
selected, you invest $3,500 for thirty years without
withdrawing any of the proceeds. How large would the balance
be at the end of thirty years? Include your calculations in your
presentation.
4. To avoid the process of probate, and ensure that the balance
in this fund transfers upon death to a person of your choice,
explain how this account should be set up to ensure a prompt
and direct transfer.
5. As an employee of an organization, you may have access to
invest in a 401(k) plan. Explain what a 401(k) plan is as well as
its benefits. When one has the option to utilize a 401(k) from an
employer, explain what restrictions are in place to limit 401(k)
contribution?
Support your statements with examples and scholarly
references. Remember to include detailed speakers’ notes to
include additional remarks that could be used as a script when
presenting to a live audience. Develop an 8–10-slide
presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to

citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention:
