Percentage of the respondents = 0.1257367 *100
Therefore, the percentage of respondents who said is not annoying is 12.57%.
Answer:
It is <u>safer</u> for a company to issue equity than debt
It is <u>riskier</u> for an investor to buy equity in a company than debt in the same firm

Explanation:
To determine Gray’s tax basis for a 50% interest in the Fabco Partnership, The interest is increased by the partner’s distributive share of all partnership items of income and decreased by the partner’s distributive share of all loss and deduction items.
Gray’s beginning basis = $5,000
Gray’s 50% distributive share of ordinary income = 50% × $20000 = $10000
Gray’s 50% tax-exempt income= 50% × $8000 = $4,000 and
portfolio income = 50% × $4000 = $2,000
Therefore, the ending basis of Gray’s Fabco partnership interest = $5000 + $10000 + $4000 + $2000 = $21000
