Answer:
a. $8,000 gain
Explanation:
The face value of the bonds purchased by Pluto Corporation are $120,000. The bonds are purchased at discount of $1,980. The bonds have carrying value of $126,019 at the time of purchase. The net gain or loss is calculated by the difference between two values.
$120,000 - $126,019 - $6,019
The discount amount of the bond was $1,980.
Total gain on the bonds approximately ($6,019 + $1,980) = $8,000
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.
Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.
Answer:
C) $5,000
Explanation:
Since the price of the stocks first rose to $50, the account's equity was $50,000.
The SMA balance was = ($50,000 x 1/2) - $20,000 = $,5000
The SMA balance acts like a stabilizer and cannot be taken away even if the price of the stocks fall slightly. The price of stocks must fall 25% in order for the SMA to be withdrawn.
The investor's equity decreased = equity - margin requirement = $39,000 - $20,000 = $19,000, but the amount that the investor can borrow (SMA balance) will remain the same at $5,000.
Answer:
B) $23,000.
Explanation:
ABC's accumulated net income (or retained earnings) over the past four years = $8,000 + $5,000 + $12,000 + $10,000 = $35,000
ABC's accumulated dividends paid over the past four years = $3,000 x 4 = $12,000
Since dividends are paid using money that proceeds from retained earnings, the balance of the retained earnings account = accumulated retained earnings - accumulated dividends = $35,000 - $12,000 = $23,000
Use the formula of the present value of an annuity ordinary which is
Pv=pmt [(1-(1+r)^(-n))÷r]
Pv present value 4500
PMTthe actual end-of-year payment?
R interest rate 0.12
N 4 equal annual installments
Solve the formula for PMT
PMT=pv÷[(1-(1+r)^(-n))÷r]
PMT=4,500÷((1−(1+0.12)^(−4))÷(0.12))
PMT=1,481.55
