stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Company A's price per share is $45

Explanation:

The P/E ratio of one company can be used by investors and analysts to determine the value of another companie's stock in the industry. This is called apples-to-apples comparism.

The P/E ratio is used to value a company by comparing its share price to earnings per share.

P/E ratio= market value of shares/ earnings per share

For company B

P/E ratio= 30/2= $15

Using company B's P/E ratio as a benchmark for company A

15= Price per share /3

Price per share = 15*3= $45

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Gain recognized by Tom is $10000

So option (b) will be correct answer

Explanation :

We have given liability on bulding assumed by Paul Corp = $30,000

Tom's adjusted basis in the building = $20,000

Since the liability assumed by Paul Corp on the building is greater than Tom's adjusted basis, Tom must recognize gain equal to the difference between the liability on the building and his adjusted basis.

So gain recognized by Tom = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

Sin Qua Corporation is a company listed on the stock exchange and issues corporate bonds. Which statement is most likely true?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds.

Explanation:

Interest earned from corporate bonds and capital gained through corporate bond transactions is taxable income.  The interest earned from a corporate bond is subject to taxation by both the federal and state governments.

The government will not sell sin Qua corporation bonds as it is a public company.  Bonds do not pay interest quarterly but rather semi-annually or annually.  Again, the maturity of the bond is determined at the time they are issued. Creditworthiness will only affect the bond price but not its maturity period.

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds is thus the correct statement.
