Answer:
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land at the Acquisition date is $625000
- Melba's adjusted basis for the land one year later is $645000
Explanation:
The adjusted basis for a property/land is the net cost of the property after adjusting for factors that might attract tax as related to the land
The adjusted basis for the land at the acquisition date is the net cost of the land at the acquisition date which will be ( $225000 + $400000 ) because that was the net cost of the Land at the date of acquisition before an agreement was later reached by Melba requiring him to pay $400000 plus an interest of 5%
Hence the adjusted basis for the land one year later will be
= ( $225000 + $400000 ) + 5% of $400000
= ( $625000 ) + $20000
= $645000
Answer:
$81.52
Explanation:
The current share price is the present value of future dividends as well as the present value of the terminal value of dividends beyond year 6 as shown thus:
Current dividend=$3.95
Year 1 dividend=$3.95*(1+5%)=$4.15
Year 2 dividend=$4.15*(1+5%)=$4.36
Year 3 dividend=$4.36*(1+5%)=$4.58
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the FIRST 3 years above is 14%
Year 4 dividend=$4.58*(1+5%)=$4.81
Year 5 dividend=$4.81*(1+5%)=$5.05
Year 6 dividend=$5.05*(1+5%)=$5.30
The required rate of return(discount rate) for the dividends in the NEXT 3 years above is 12%
Terminal value of dividend=Year 6 dividend*(1+growth rate)/(rate of return-growth rate)
growth rate=5%
rate of return=10%(rate of return thereafter)
terminal value=$5.30*(1+5%)/(10%-5%)
terminal value=$111.30
current share price=$4.15/(1+14%)+$4.36/(1+14%)^2+$4.58/(1+14%)^3+$4.81/(1+12%)^4+$5.05/(1+12%)^5+$5.30/(1+12%)^6+$111.30/(1+10%)^6
current share price=$81.52
Answer:
The correct answer is: a positive correlation.
Explanation:
Correlation can say something about the relationship between variables. It is used to understand:
1. If the relationship is positive or negative
2. The strength of the relationship.
Correlation is a powerful tool that provides vital pieces of information.
In the case of family income and family spending, it is easy to see that both rise or fall together in the same direction. This is called a positive correlation.
In the case of price and demand, the change occurs in the opposite direction, so that the increase in one is accompanied by a decrease in the other. This is known as a negative correlation.
Answer:
1. Going concern
2. Economic entity
3. Monetary unit
4. Periodicitys
Explanation:
1. Since Jumbo's Restaurant is planning to close, the assumption of continuity (going concern) is no more applicable. This should be disclosed. Instead asset was still recorded at historical price which is misleading.
2. Gorloks Tax Services is an economic entity, and the property and assets of owners are not considered to be for the business. In this case the boat Sam bought was wrongly reported as an asset of the company.
3. Claim Jumpers when reporting the 5 trucks purchased must include a monetary value for them. The assumption of monetary unit states that all items reported on the balance sheet must be expressed in monetary terms.
4. Cobbler's Etc violated the assumption of periodicity which states the financial position of the business must be declared in a particular accounting period. Accounting period can monthly, quarterly, biannually, and yearly. The business should choose and accounting period and ensure financial position is reported for each of them. In this case financial reporting is not consistent with reporting happening after 14 months and before that 18 months.
Answer:
The new beta of the portfolio 1.17
Explanation:
Portfolio beta is sum of weighted beta of all stocks consisting of it.
Portfolio beta = 1.12
Weight of each portfolio = 5,000
All weight or Amount = 5,000 * 20 = 100,000
Weight of one stock = 5,000 / 100,000 = 0.05
Foregone beta or beta of sold stock = 1
Acquired beta or beta of purchased stock = 2
Weight of both are same = 0.05
New beta = Portfolio beta - (foregone beta * weight) + (Acquired beta * weight)
New beta = 1.12 - (1 * 0.05) + (2 * 0.05)
New beta = 1.12 - 0.05 + 0.1
New beta = 1.17
So New portfolio beta is 1.17
