Buying an existing business is beneficial because it does not require large initial capital.
Option a
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The idea of buying an existing business is much easier than that of starting a business. Buying an existing business includes lesser risks. When we are buying a business, it means that we are taking over an operation that is already generating some profits or cash flows.
Moreover, it does not need enormous amount of capital since, majority of the setups will already be there and all we have to do is just to reconstruct and maintain it. We cannot be sure that whether the previous business holder had professional financial dealings with the government side so, it sometimes may become our duty to initiate the papers and get financial support from the government if required.
In addition, there are cases in which the lenders that the previous owner dealt with will not be the same as ours. Therefore, the answer would be option a.
Answer:
Exit the market.
Explanation:
Suppose there are X firms in a competitive market and they are all making normal profits. If the demand for their products decreases, some of the firms will start to sell less, which will result in lower profits or even losses. In the long run, those firms that experience lower sales resulting in lower profits or losses, will exit the market. Once these firms exit the market, the quantity supplied should decrease, which will result in a price increase.
Answer:
13.64%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
= 4.8% + 1.7 × (10% - 4.8%)
= 4.8% + 1.7 × 5.2%
= 4.8% + 8.84%
= 13.64%
The (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return) is also called market risk premium
Answer:
$64,000
Explanation:
In order to be deductible, a business expense must be both ordinary and necessary. Being ordinary means that it is a plausible expense for this business, since the expense in question is related to accounting services, it is ordinary. Being necessary means that the expense is the minimum required and is appropriate and helpful to the business. In this case, all of the expense was not required, therefore, only $64,000 (the reasonable market value for the services provided) are deductible.
