Answer:

a. Freeman estimates that it is reasonably possible but not likely that it will lose a current lawsuit.​ Freeman's attorneys estimate the potential loss will be​ $4,500,000.

  • Describe the situation in a note to the financial statements.

Since the event is possible but not likely, it should be disclosed in the footnotes of the financial statements.

b. Freeman received notice that it was being sued. Freeman considers this lawsuit to be frivolous.

  • Do not disclose.

Since this is a frivolous lawsuit, there is no need to disclose it.

c. Freeman is currently the defendant in a lawsuit. Freeman believes it is likely that it will lose the lawsuit and estimates the damages to be paid will be​ $75,000.

  • Record an expense and a liability based on estimated amounts.

Since the negative outcome is probable and you were able to quantify your losses, you must record the expense for $75,000 and include the amount as a current liability.

Answer:

Gain/loss= $1,000 loss

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Original price= $54,000

Accumulated depreciation= $28,000

Seling price= $25,000

The gain or loss from selling an asset depends on the book value.

Book value= original price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 54,000 - 28,000= 26,000

If the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale.

Gain/loss= 25,000 - 26,000= $1,000 loss

Degger [83]

Answer:

1.10

Explanation:

The computation of portfolio's beta is shown below:-

= Stock A Beta × Invested in Stock A ÷ Total value + Stock B Beta × (Total value - Invested in Stock A) ÷ Invested in Stock A

= 0.75 × $47,500 ÷ $100,000 + 1.42 × ($100,000 - $47,500) ÷ $100,000

= 0.75 × $47,500 ÷ $100,000 + 1.42 × $52,500 ÷ $100,000

= 0.75 × 0.475 + 1.42 × 0.525

= 0.35625 + 0.7455

= 1.10175

or

= 1.10

Therefore for computing the portfolio beta we simply applied the above formula.
