Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

company gained a gross profit of $2 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question;

Contract price to build an office = $32 million

Construction costs incurred during the first year = $9 million

Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year = $21 million

Therefore,

Total cost incurred to complete the construction of the office at the end of the first  year

=  Construction costs incurred during the first year + Estimated costs to complete at the end of the year

= $9 million + $21 million

= $30 million

Thus,

The revenue generated by the company = Contract price - cost incurred

= $32 million - $30 million

= $2 million

since the revenue is positive, hence the company gained a gross profit of $2 million

Andrej [43]

Answer:

How much must Icon allow Emily to diversify this year?

The answer is $250,000

  • Emily will be allowed to diversify the value equal to 25% of investments.
  • 50% of the investment is allowed to be diversified if it is final year of participation but in the present case it is not the final year before the retirement of the Emily so she will not be allowed 50% diversification and only up to 25% is allowed on which the percentage of investment already diversified in previous years will also be reduced.
  • Since here in the past no amount has been diversified by Emily so she will be allowed 25 % of investment to diversify in the current year which comes to $250,000 ($1,000,000* 25%). Thus the answer is $250,000.
