Answer:
We expect investment spending to increase by $ 1 billion
Explanation:
If investment decreases by $ 1 billion if a 1 % change is made then that is sensitivity of investment to change in interest rate. Thus if there is a 1 % reduction in interest rate we expect to see a $ 1 billion increase in spending if this holds true.
Answer:
$6.25 per ton of coal
Explanation:
the depletion base = purchase cost + restoration costs
- purchase cost = $20 million
- restoration costs = $6 million
depletion base = $26,000,000
depletion rate per ton of coal = (depletion base - salvage value) / estimated reserves = ($26,000,000 - $1,000,000) / 4,000,000 = $6.25 per ton of coal
The depletion rate follows the same concepts as depreciation of fixed assets, but instead of using a fixed asset, you are extracting materials and decreasing the value of the deposits.
Answer:
(a) $170,000
(b) $80,000
Explanation:
(a) The amount and character of Luke's recognized gain or loss on the building:
= (Fair market value - cost to built) + Depreciation expense
= ($325,000 - $200,000) + $45,000
= $170,000
(b) The amount and character of Luke's recognized gain or loss on Land:
= (Fair market value - Purchasing cost
= (210,000 - 130,000)
= $80,000
Answer:
"Require an increase in return for any increase in risk"
Explanation:
A risk-averse investor would not consider the choice to risk $1,000 loss with the possibility of making $50 gain to be the same risk as a choice to risk only $100 to make the same $50 gain.
A risk-averse individual has a low risk tolerance or a high risk aversion. These conservative investors are willing to accept little to no volatility in their investment portfolios. Investors who are looking for "safer" investments typically invest in savings accounts, bonds, dividend growth stocks and certificates of deposit (CDs).
