Problem 4-4 Calculation of Gain or Loss (LO 4.3) Jocasta owns an apartment complex that she purchased 6 years ago for $750,000.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

$671,300

Explanation:

The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-

Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed

= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700

= $800,000 - $128,700

= $671,300

Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.

Simplifying
(2a + 5)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(3a + -4) = 0

Reorder the terms:
(5 + 2a)(-4 + 3a) = 0

Multiply (5 + 2a) * (-4 + 3a)
(5(-4 + 3a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-4 * 5 + 3a * 5) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
((-20 + 15a) + 2a * (-4 + 3a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-4 * 2a + 3a * 2a)) = 0
(-20 + 15a + (-8a + 6a2)) = 0

Combine like terms: 15a + -8a = 7a
(-20 + 7a + 6a2) = 0

Solving
-20 + 7a + 6a2 = 0

Solving for variable 'a'.

Factor a trinomial.
(-5 + -2a)(4 + -3a) = 0

Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-5 + -2a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
-5 + -2a = 0

Solving
-5 + -2a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '5' to each side of the equation.
-5 + 5 + -2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0
0 + -2a = 0 + 5
-2a = 0 + 5

Combine like terms: 0 + 5 = 5
-2a = 5

Divide each side by '-2'.
a = -2.5

Simplifying
a = -2.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + -3a)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
4 + -3a = 0

Solving
4 + -3a = 0

Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + -3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + -3a = 0 + -4
-3a = 0 + -4

Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
-3a = -4

Divide each side by '-3'.
a = 1.333333333

Simplifying
a = 1.333333333
Solution
a = {-2.5, 1.333333333}

The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

mariarad [96]

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40
