Return (%) = 17.43%
Explanation:
T<em>he return on investment is the sum of the dividends earned and capital gains made during the holding period of the investment.</em>
Dividend is the proportion of the profit made by a company which is paid to shareholders.
Capital gains is another type of the return made on an equity investment as a result of increase in the value of the shares. It is difference between the cost of the share and the value at the time of disposal.
Therefore, we can can compute the return on the investment as follows:
Dividend= ($1.60× 140)= $224
Capital gains= (90-78) × 140= $1680
Total dollar return on Investment = $224+ $1680= $1904
Total return in (%) = Return/ cost of shares × 100
= 1904/ (140 × 78) × 100
= 17.43%

Answer:
C) $0 $285,000
Explanation:
The §121 exclusion establishes that homeowners can exclude from their capital gains taxes the sale of their property for a maximum of $250,000 gain (or $500,000 for joint filers) if they meet two criteria:
- they owned the property for at last 5 years
- they use the property as main residence for at least 2 years (they can aggregate time periods).
So if Eric and Katie use the §121 exclusion they wouldn't pay any capital gains tax ($500,000 is higher than $375,000).
If they decide to forgo the §121 exclusion, then they will have to pay taxes for a gain of:
capital gain = net sale price - asst basis
capital gain = ($375,000 - $10,000) - $80,000 = $365,000 - $80,000 = $285,000
