A stock held as part of a portfolio is generally less risky than one held in isolation because a portfolio would be diversified. A personal portfolio may include 20 different stocks. Since all of your money is not invested in one company, if a single stock drops there is still the remaining 19 stocks to increase in value.

When you have one stock held in isolation it is more risky because your stock value is based on one stock. If that stock goes up you make money, but if it goes down you lose. This is unlike a portfolio because you have a variety of stocks to balance out the gains and losses.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

d. Net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000.

A net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000 is a deductible loss for income tax purposes.

Furthermore, if an individual accrues a net long-term capital losses in excess of $3,000, this loss is deductible and are carried over indefinitely to subsequent tax payments in the future.

Write the sum as a product of two factors 25g + 10f + 5​
ANEK [815]

Answer:

5\times(5g+2f+1)

Explanation:

25g+10f+5

Writing each term in its factors:

(5\times5)g+(5\times2)f+5

We find out that 5 is the GCF of all the terms

Factoring out 5 from the given expression.

5\times(5g+2f+1)

Factors: 5 and (5g+2f+1)

Thus:

25g+10f+5 = 5\times(5g+2f+1)

On December 31, 2015, Peligrino Co. has a long term note payable of $800,000. Of that balance, $100,000 will be paid within one
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

$700,000

Explanation:

The portion of the long term note payable that is due within one year must be reported as current portion of long term debt (CPLTD) and must be included under current assets. In this case, the current portion of the long term debt is $100,000, so the portion that must be reported as long term debt is $800,000 - $100,000 = $700,000.
