The criteria for distinguishing between whether an expenditure is a capital item or a deductible expense is the useful life of the item.
If the purchase is going to be used and no longer have value at the end of the reporting period it is an expense for that period. If the item is a capital item it is going to have a longer useful life. In this case the item is depreciated over its useful life, assigning an expense amount to each accounting period that the item has value.

Answer:
Del is expected to prepaid to pay $535.62 in prepaid interest at the closing.
Explanation:
The down payment of 15% is $250000*15%=$37500
The balance of mortgage net of down payment=$250000-$37500
=$212500
Interest yearly=$212500*5.75%=$12,218.75
A year interest divided by 365days give one day interest.
A day interest=$12218.75/365=$33.48
Total interest to pay at closing=16days*$33.48
=$535.62
The number of days was 16 because July has 31days and deal was closed on 15th,hence 31 minus 15 gives 16.
Answer:
$86.20
Explanation:
Total return from stock = Current price * expected return
Total return from stock = 80*14%
Total return from stock = $11.20
Dividend already realized = $5
Capital gain = $11.20 - $5
Capital gain = $6.20
End of one year price = Beginning price + capital gain
End of one year price = $80 + $6.20
End of one year price = $86.20
Therefore, at the end of one year price is $86.20
Answer:
r = 5%
Explanation:
Construction cost 800.000
# of barrels produced 10.000
Price per barrel $4
let the interest rate = r
Equate the net present value = 0
800000 = 10000 x 4/(1 + r) + 40000/(1 + r)2 + .......
800000 = 10000 x 4/r
r = 5%
