Answer:
C) Hire a litigator who will agree to a contingent fee structure and require payment only if Marcos obtains a settlement or jury verdict.
Explanation:
Generally when lawyers agree to a contingent fee structure is because they are convinced their chances of winning are high. Lawyers will accept a fixed percentage of the amount recovered, usually this percentage is around 1/3 of the final settlement.
This type of agreement is very useful since you don't need to invest a lot of money, and the lawyer's pay comes from the money awarded by the jury (or a settlement).
Answer:
14.1%
Explanation:
Cash return on assets is the ratio of a company's operating cash flow to its average total assets. It shows how a company is generating cash flow from its assets and compares a company’s profitability with other companies.
Cash return on assets = operating cash flow / average total assets
Given that:
operating cash flows = $240,000
Average total assets = ($1.6 million + $1.8 million) / 2 = $1.7 million.
Therefore, Cash return on assets = $240000 / $1.7 million = 0.141 = 14.1%
Answer:
1,200 shares held at a cost basis of $37.50
Explanation:
Since there are 1,000 shares are purchased
and the stock dividend is 20%
So the number of shares after the dividend is
= 1,000 × (1 + dividend percentage)
= 1,000 × (1 + 0.20)
= 1,000 × 1.20
= 1.200
And, the price per share is
= $44 + $1
= $45
So, the cost basis would be
= $45 ÷ 1.20
= $37.50
hence, the tax status of the investment is 1,200 shares held for cost at $37.50 basis
