Steve Pratt, who is single, purchased a home in Spokane, Washington, for $347,500. He moved into the home on February 1 of year

Lana71 [14]

Answer: $107,500

Explanation:

There is an "Exclusion of gain on sale of home" provision by the IRS that allows for a single tax payer to exclude up to $250,000 from the sale of their primary home. A home qualifies as primary if the owner has lived in it for 2 years or more so Steve's home here is a primary home.

The gain he received was:

= 705,000 - 347,500

= $357,500

From this gain, $250,000 can be excluded so total gain recognized:

= 357,500 - 250,000

= $107,500

A portfolio that combines the risk-free asset and the market portfolio has an expected return of 6.5 percent and a standard devi

mario62 [17]

Answer: Step 1) Find share of market in the Portfolio

(11.5-3.5)x+3.5=6.5

8x=3

x=3/8

x=0.375

=37.5%

SD of market portfolio= 0.375x+0=9.5

x=9.5/0.375

=25.33%

correl = cov / (std 1 * std2)

0.4=COV/0.2533*0.545

COV= 0.2533*0.545*0.4=0.05

cov of 2 assets = b1 * b2 * variance of market

0.05=B1*1*0.2533^2

B of security=0.0032

Capm Model

3.5+0.0032(11.5-3.5)=3.5256% expected return

Explanation:

Step 1) Find the share of market in the portfolio in order to find market SD

Step 2) Find Covariance betweens security and market by using both SDS and correlation

Step 3) Find Beta of Security using Co variance

Step 4) Use the Beta in CAPM model in order to find expected return

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The answer is option a). For the 11th worker, the marginal profit is $600.

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the initial profit for the 10 workers as shown;

initial profit=revenue from sales-cost of labor

where;

revenue from sales=sale per unit×number of units

revenue from sales=800×20=$16,000

cost of labor=cost per unit×number of workers

cost of labor=1,000×10=$10,000

replacing;

initial profit=16,000-10,000=$6,000

Step 2: Determine the final profit for the 10 workers as shown;

final profit=revenue from sales-cost of labor

where;

revenue from sales=sale per unit×number of units

revenue from sales=800×22=$17,600

cost of labor=cost per unit×number of workers

cost of labor=1,000×11=$11,000

replacing;

final profit=17,600-11,000=$6,600

Step 3: Determine the marginal profit as shown;

marginal profit=final profit-initial profit

where;

final profit=$6,600

initial profit=$6,000

replacing;

marginal profit=6,600-6,000=$600

The marginal profit for the 11th worker=$600
