Answer:

The value of x is 566.36

Explanation:

The value of x should be such that the present value of both Investments is the same when discounted at a rate of 11%. To calculate the present value, we use the following formula,

Present Value = CF 1 / (1+r)  +  CF 2 / (1+r)^2 + ... + CFn / (1+r)^n

Where,

  • CF represents Cash flow
  • r represents the discount rate

So, we equate both the present value of Investment A and B to calculate the value of x.

Present Value of A = Present Value of B

450/(1.11)  +  650/(1.11)^2  +  850/(1.11)^3 = 850/(1.11)  +  x/(1.11)^2  +  450/(1.11)^3

1554.472661  =  765.7657658  +  x/(1.11)^2  +  329.0361216

1554.472661  -  765.7657658  -  329.0361216  =  x/(1.11)^2

459.6707736 * (1.11)^2  =  x

x = 566.3603602 rounded off to 566.36

John Maynard Keynes is known for his economic theory called Keynesian economics. He studied on ways to resolve the problem of the Great Depression. According to Keynes, the government should abandon or reduce tax rates, and at the same time, increase government spending as investments. By increasing government expenditures, it would open more job opportunities and investments into an economic zone. People will have high earnings, and because of lower taxes, they could buy what they want. For Keynes, this type of economic system called capitalism is the solution for the Great Depression.

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
