Answer:
a. long-term capital gain.
Explanation:
A 1031 exchange allows investors to delay paying taxes when they swap like-kind properties. The basis of this property will start on January 1, 2019, the date the first property was acquired. If the investor sold the property on February 1, 2020, more than a year passed, so this should be taxed as a long term capital gain.
Answer:
3. Correctly ignored a sunk cost
Explanation:
Sunk costs refer to those costs which have been incurred in the past, which are non recoverable and which have no current or future benefits.
Sunk costs are considered as irrelevant for decision making process as they do not relate to current period and have no future implications. For example, research and development expenditure incurred in the past represents a sunk cost.
In the given case, the ticket for opera was already purchased for $100 which can now neither be recovered nor transferred. Thus this cost is irrelevant for decision making as expenditure has already been made. When Shen decided to go for a party instead of the concert, Shen has correctly ignored a sunk cost.
Answer:
c. 11.32; reject
Explanation:
The IRR is the rate at with net present value equals zero.
![\left[\begin{array}{cc}Period&Cash Flow\\0&-152,000\\1&+60,800\\2&+62,300\\3&+65,000\\4&0.113237029\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcc%7DPeriod%26Cash%20Flow%5C%5C0%26-152%2C000%5C%5C1%26%2B60%2C800%5C%5C2%26%2B62%2C300%5C%5C3%26%2B65%2C000%5C%5C4%260.113237029%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To solve it you use excel or a financial calculator:
0.1132370
Because the IRR is lower than minimun aceptable rate of return, the project should be rejected.
Answer:
<u><em>Part 1. </em></u>
- <em>Average cost per day of a three-day pass</em> = $53.33/day per person
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day </em>= $190 - $160 = $30 per person
<em />
<em><u>Part 2.</u></em>
- <em>Group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> = $180
Explanation:
The total <em>cost</em> is the <em>admission charge</em> ($60) plust the cost of the pass ($100 or $130).
For a <em>two-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $100 = $160, per person
For a <em>three-day pass</em> that is: $60 + $130 = $190, per person
<u><em>Part 1. The average cost per day of a three-day pass per person. </em></u>
The <em>average cost</em> is the total cost divided by the number of days.
- <em>Average cost</em> = $160/3days = $53.33/day per person
The <em>marginal cost of adding the third day</em> per person is found by subtracting the total cost for two days from the total cost for three days:
- <em>Marginal cost of adding the third day</em> = $190 - $160 = $30 per person
This says that althoud the average cost for the three days is $53.33 the cost of adding the third day is $30, which is much lower; thus, it is a good deal to buy a three-days pass, as they are interested in spending a lot of time there.
<u><em>Part 2. The group's marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em></u>
<em></em>
Since the <em>marginal cost of switching from the two-day pass to the three-day pass</em> is $30 per person, the marginal cost for the 6-person group is 6 times $30:
- 6 persons × $30/person = $180.
