Answer:
Computation of cash received from the sale of the equipment:
D. $58,000.
Explanation:
Computation:
Sale of Equipment Account
Equipment account $240,000
less acc. depreciation 172,000
Net book value $68,000
less loss on sale 10,000
Cash received $58,000
Equipment Account
Year 1 balance $750,000
Year 2 balance 510,000
Sale of equipment $240,000
Accumulated Depreciation:
Year 1 balance $500,000
Year 2 balance 328,000
Sale of equipment $172,000
b) The sale of the equipment caused a loss of $10,000. The net book value of the equipment is $68,000. This implies that it was sold for $58,000 ($68,000 - $10,000). So, the cash received from the sale is $58,000.
Answer:
DeBondt and Thaler (1985) found that the poorest-performing stocks in one time period experienced <em>good</em> performance in the following period and that the best-performing stocks in one time period experienced <em>poor</em> performance in the following time period.
Explanation:
DeBondt and Thaler carried out a study that examined stocks of 35 worst and best performing firms over a previous five-year period.The study showed that over the following three-year period, the firms that were previously performing poorly performed better than the former best performing firms, by an average of 25%.This reversal in the fortunes of stocks of firms in the following period is called the Reversal Effect.

N/B: I choose not to round up the answers.
Explanation:
The method used is the Lagrangian method. Basically, the optimization problem we are trying to solve is the utility function 
subject to the constraint
.
So the optimization problem(Lagrangian) is
,
where 
is a constant called the Lagrange multiplier.
To find the optimal consumption, we need to maximize the Lagrangian with respect to the variables 
. This we do by differentiating 
with respect to each variable and then equate to 0.
Equate (1) and (2), to get 
and substitute into (3) to get 
. Substituting into 
to get the corresponding value of 
.
Answer: 7.43%
Explanation:
The yield to maturity simply refers to the total return that is expected on a bond as long as the bond is held till it matures.
In this case, since the investor is indifferent between this municipal bond and an otherwise identical taxable corporate bond, the yield to maturity of the corporate bond will be:
4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × ( 1- 35%)
4.83% = Corporate bond YTM × 65%
Corporate bond YTM = 4.83% / 65%
Corporate bond YTM = 0.0483/0.65
Corporate bond YTM = 7.43%
The yield to maturity of the corporate bond is 7.43%
