Aloiza [94]

The value of current stock price is equal to $57.93

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given dividend = $20 per year

The calculation of current stock price is as follows:

The Stock price at the beginning of 20th year is equal to = $20 divided by 8 percent = 250

Current stock price ( present value ) = \mathrm{FV} /(1+\mathrm{r})^{\wedge} \mathrm{n}

=\$ 250 /(1+0.08) \wedge 19

Jada converted her personal residence to rental property in 2018. She purchased the property in 2014 for $110,000, of which $10,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

a)Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.

b) Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.

Explanation:

Due to a decline in the property values over the past few years Jada has converted her personal residence to rental property and/or investment property which is a subject dealt within IAS 40 (Investment property).

According to IAS 40 an investment property is land or building held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than use in the entity. IAS 40 requires to initially measure investment property at cost and subsequently may either measure at cost or fair value model. Fair value is normally established by prevailing market prices.

IAS 40 also mentions that if an asset is revalued to fair value the gain and loss should be recorded in statement of profit and loss and 'NO DEPRECIATION IS CHARGED ON THE ASSET AFTER THE FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT'.

Therefore, following the instructions laid out by IAS 40 Jada's basis for depreciation in the property is NIL.

2) Personal property with no intrinsic value:

Personal property that has no intrinsic value is called 'INTANGIBLE PROPERTY'.

Lets first understand what intrinsic value is. Intrinsic value of an asset refers to the market led and/or market-driven price of that asset. This means those assets which don't have an active market for sale and purchase will have no intrinsic value. This is absolutely the case with intangible assets, because most intangible assets are unique and uncommon, such as, GOODWILL, PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS, therefore due to the uniqueness and exclusivity of such assets an active market place doesn't exist therefore it's hard to determine an intrinsic value for such kind of assets/ properties.

Gannon Company acquired 10,000 shares of its own common stock at $20 per share on February 5, 2014, and sold 5,000 of these shar
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The credit entry for the issue of 5000 shares is:

Cr Treasury stock                                       $100,000

Cr Paid-in capital from treasury stock          $35,000

Explanation:

The par value of the common stock issue($20 per share) is credited to treasury stock account, while the excess of issue price of $27 over the par value of $20, $7 per share is credited to paid-in capital from treasury stock

The full double entries for the issue of 5000 shares is as follows:

Dr Cash ($27*5000)                                                 $135,000.00  

Cr Treasury stock($20*5000)                                                          $100,000

Cr Paid-in capital from treasury stock($7*5000)                                $35,000

Under International Financial Reporting Standards, the credit entries would be that par value is credited to equity share capital and the excess credited to share premium account.
