Answer: 14.5%
Explanation:
The after tax return is calculated by the formula:
= Before tax return * (1 - federal tax) * (1 - State tax)
As we have the after tax return, we should work on the before tax:
9% = Before tax return * (1 - 34%) * (1 - 6%)
9% = Before tax return * 0.6204
Before tax return = 9% / 0.6204
= 14.5%
Answer:
b. Cannot tell the change in equilibrium quantity. The equilibrium price will decrease
Explanation:
Two things are going on here
1. Income decreases, that will shift demand inwards. People can buy fewer goods at any given price
2. New technology is discovered, that shifts supply outwards. Costs are reduced so producers can produce more at a given price
The resulting effects are that price will decrease but the result in quantity is undetermined. This can be seen with the two examples attached. In both cases, the shifting of the curves from D0->D1 and S0->S1 results in lower prices. However, in one case the equilibrium quantity goes up and in the other goes up.
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
A loss contingency refers to a charge to expense for what is considered to be a probable future event, such as an adverse outcome of a lawsuit. A loss contingency usually gives the person who is reading an organization's financial statements an early warning of a payment which is impending, and which is related to a likely obligation.
In the scenario presented above, we can see that Ultimate Company is involved in a lawsuit and might be expected to pay $3 billion, this reflects the situation of a loss contingency which should be disclosed in notes to Ultimate Company's financial statements.
Answer:
It's fair value at the date of the transfer
Explanation:
Transfers of securities between categories of investments should be accounted for at FAIR VALUE, with unrealized holding gains or losses treated in accordance with the nature of the transfer.
Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value; changes in value between accounting periods are included in accumulated other comprehensive income in the equity section of the balance sheet.
The fair value option gives companies the option to report most financial instruments at fair value with all gains and losses related to changes in fair value reported in the income statement.
