Which form of investment has the most amount of risk involved?

2 answers:

8 0

Is this supposed to be a multiple choice question? It is way fun to think about projects other people might be up to which carry outrageously high risk!

Restaurants are a common example -- there's a little bit of magic in whether a new restaurant will catch on and become popular.

Farming is pretty risky. You can do everything right and have a hail storm come and ruin the crops. That's why there are government programs and commodity markets that help farmers mitigate their risk -- because the rest of us who need to eat really need for people to be willing to farm!

2015 2016 2017 2018

Net Sales $2,200,000 $2,600,000 $2,700,000 $3,200,000

COGS 1,496,000 1,742,00 1,863,000 2,176,000

Gross Profit $704,000 $858,000 $837,000 $1,024,000

Required: 1. Restate the partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts, after fixing the inventory error, 2-a. Compute the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction 2-b. Does the pattern of gross profit percentages lend confidence to your corrected amounts?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

1. Restate the partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts, after fixing the inventory error

2-a. Compute the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction

Note: See the attached excel file for the computed the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction.

In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:

Gross Profit percentage = Gross profit / Net Sales) * 100

Stanford owns and operates two dry cleaning businesses. He travels to Boston to discuss acquiring a restaurant. Later in the mon

denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: $4,522

Explanation:

Since Stanford doesn't operate in the restaurant business and doesn't buy the restaurant, he cannot deduct any amount for investigation costs relating to the restaurant.

Stanford doesn't operate in the bakery business but he bought the bakery, so he can deduct up to $5,000 (before amortization) for investigation costs related to the bakery. But those $5,000 are reduced by every dollar he spent over $50,000, so he can only deduct $4,000 [= $5,000 - ($51,000 - $50,000)].

The remaining $47,000 (= $51,000 - $4,000) can be amortized over 180 months, which equals $261 per month (= $47,000 / 180 months).

Since he bought the restaurant in November, he can deduct two months: $261 per month x 2 months = $522

So his total deduction for investigation expenses is = $4,000 + $522 = $4,522
