Answer:

Date of selling machine is 31 Dec 2021, then gain of $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then gain of 2,000

Explanation:

Depreciation per year = (original cost $80,000  - residual value $5,000)/ useful life of 10 years

= $7,500 per year

Date of purchase: January 1, 2009

Date of sold:  December 31, 2021

⇒ Actual life of this machine = 13 years, but the maximum depreciation as accounting rule is for 10 year only

After 13 years, the book value = original cost - depreciation booked

= $80,000 - $7,500*10 = $5,000

Gain/ Loss =  sold price - boo value = $52,000 - $5,000 = $47,000

If date of selling this machine is 31 Dec 2012 (used tenor: 4 years), then we have:

Gain/ Loss = sold price - book value

= $52,000 - ($80,000 - $7,500*4) = 2,000

James Perkins wants to have a million dollars at retirement, which is 15 years away. He already has $200,000 in an IRA earning 8
Lelu [443]

Solution :

Given :

James needs $ 1,000,000 after 15 years.

His IRA deposit is $ 200,000 and is earning at the rate of 8% per annum.

Maturity value of $200,000 after 15 years = 2000000 \times( 1.08)^{15}

                                                                     = $ 634,434.

Balance fund needed after 15 years = 1,000,000 - 634,434

                                                           = $ 365,566

Therefore, the future value of the annuity is :

FV=A[\frac{(1+k)^n-1}{k}]

Here, FV = future annuity value = 365,566

            A = periodical investment

            k = interest rate = 8%

            n = period = 15 years

∴365566 = A\frac{[(1.08)^{15}-1]}{0.08}

       A = 13,464

Thus, James needs to save $ 13,464 each year end to reach his target.

Blythe Corp. is a defendant in a lawsuit. Blythe's attorneys believe it is reasonably possible that the suit will require Blythe
8090 [49]

Answer:

The entry is not required because the outcome is reasonably possible, not certain or probable. So IAS 37 says that the liability must not be recognized as the outcome is not reasonably certain or probable.

Explanation:

The liability must be included in the financial statement only if the outcome is certain or probable. In this scenario, the outcome is reasonably possible but neither certain nor probable in this situation. So the entry in the financial statement is not required. If the liability is of a huge amount then IAS 37 says that their must be a disclosure in the financial statement notes about the lawsuit.

"Sydney has a portfolio with 50 shares of AAA with a current value of $20 per share, a return of 12%, and a beta of 1.30. She al
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer: 12.72%

Explanation:

Given the following information ;

50 Shares of AAA at $20 and expected returns of 12%

25 Shares of BBB at $60 and expected returns of 10%

75 Shares of CCC at $50 and expected returns of 14%

Total value of the portfolio ;

Total Portfolio Value = ( 50×20 ) + ( 25×60 ) + ( 75×50 )

= 1000 + 1500 + 3750 = $6,250

Weight of each share in the portfolio;

Weight of Stock AAA = ( 50×20 ) / 6250 = 0.16

Weight of Stock BBB = ( 25×60 ) / 6250 = 0.24

Weight of Stock CCC = ( 75×50 ) / 6250 = 0.60

Expected return on portfolio is calculated thus;

Expected Portfolio Return = ( Weight of AAA×Expected Returns ) + ( Weight of BBB×Expected Returns ) + ( Weight of CCC×Expected Returns )

Expected Portfolio Return = ( 0.16×0.12 ) + ( 0.24×0.10 ) + ( 0.60×0.14 )

Expected portfolio return = (0.0192+0.024+0.084) = 0.1272

0.1272 = 12.72%
