A) because that is they only one that actually makes sense
Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.
In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.
The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.
Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:
Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it. So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.
Answer: the correct answer is a disclosure of $20,000
Explanation:
The annual preferred stock dividend is $15,000 = 3,000 x $100 x 5%. Total dividends in arrears at the end of 20X3 are therefore $20,000 = 2 years x $15,000 - $10,000 paid.
Dividends in arrears are footnoted only. They are not recognized as a liability until they are declared.
Answer:
$23.25
Explanation:
the maximum that you would be willing to pay for a stock of Universal today can be determined using the multistage dividend discount model
The first step is to find the present value of the dividends over the next four years :
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = $8
Cash flow in year 2 = $4
Cash flow in year 3 = $2
Cash flow in year 4 = $2
I = 15%
Present value = $12.44
Next we would find the present value of the perpetual growth of dividend
($2 x 1.04 ) / 0.15 - 0.04 = 18.91
the present value of this amount = $18.91 / = $10.81
Maximum value = $12.44 + $10.81 = $23.25
To find the PV using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
