Alpha Industries stock sold for $39 a share at the beginning of the year. During the year, the company paid a dividend of $3 a s

nadezda [96]

Answer: c. capital loss.

Explanation:

A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.

The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.

Joe and Rich are both considering investing in a project with the following cash flows. Joe is content earning a 9 percent retur

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

d. both joe and rich

Explanation:

To determine who should accept the project, the net present value should be calculated.

The net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

The net present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 0 = -$25,000

Cash flow in year 1 = 13,700

Cash flow in year 2 = 18,400

Rich 's discount rate = 16%

Richs NPV = $484.54

Joe's discount rate = 9%

Joes NPV = $3,055.72

The decision rule with NPV is to invest if NPV is greater than zero

Since NPV is greater than zero for both rich and joe, they should both accept it.

To find the NPV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

I hope my answer helps you

Living Wages - This is the topic of debate. I am looking for a help on two things. How to write the paper and how to prepare the

vazorg [7]

Answer:

the answer is as follows

Explanation:

First of defining real wages is a cumbersome process. The living wage calculator developed by MIT professor Amy Glasemeier in 2004 eased the way a little but that too has it's issues.

The paper you are trying to write should start with this that how the idea of living wages is in itself difficult to be adopted as it is. Second the free market approach has been more successful in the economic history and a lot of evidence and data is available on that. The analysis that your paper will develop should outline the concerns that mainstream economists have regarding living wages and support it with some actual data.

The presentation would be rather easy after writing the paper. Which will include some graphs and data and some scholarly citations and it should work.

Answer:

$15,000

Explanation:

Joe has sold the house he has been living in for 10 years to the Smiths family

He sold the house at $300,000

Joe receives $50,000 more than the original price bargained 10 years ago

He pays the real estate agent a commission of 5%
