Mr. Boyd and Ms. Tuck decide to form a new corporation named BT Inc. Mr. Boyd transfers $10,000 cash and business inventory ($20
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1. Mr Boyd's share = 400, Ms Tuck = 800

2. Mr Boyd's realised gain = $16,800, recognized gain = $0, basis = $13200

Ms Tuck's realized gain = $18500, gain recognized = 0, basis = $41500

Explanation:

1.

Total share = $1200

Cash received from Mr Boyd = 10000

FMV from him = 20000

Total value = 30000

FMV of equipment from Ms Tuck = 60000

Total value from both of them = 60000 + 30000 = $90000

Number of share Mr Boyd is to receive = 1200x(30000/90000)

= 400

Number of share Ms Tuck is to receive

= 1200x(60000/90000)

= 800

2.

<u>Mr Boyd's gains</u>

Cash received = 10000

FMV = 20000

Total = 30000

Adjusted basis = 3200

Total tax basis = 10000+3200

Gain realized = 30000-13200

= 16800

Gain realized = 0 because it is a non taxable exchange.

Mr Boyd's realised gain = $16800, recognised gain = $0, basis = $13200

<u>Ms Tuck</u>

FMV = 60000

Adjusted tax basis = 41500

Gain realized = 60000-41500

= 18500

Gain recognized = 0(non taxable exchange)

Ms Tuck's realized gain = $18500, recognized gain = $0, basis = $41500

3

the FMV basis of inventory = 20000

carryover basis = 3200

equipment basis FMV = 60000

carryover basis = 41500

note that no gain if equal to or more than 80 percent of the ownership of the stock in a non taxable exchange.

Ann [662]

Answer:

1. Production budget for third quarter for skis - 162,500 skis

2. Direct materials budget for Carbon Fiber for quarter 3 - 323,000 pounds

   Cost of carbon Fiber purchases - $ 4,199,000

3. Direct Labor budget for quarter 3 - $ 1,462,500

4. Factory overhead budget for quarter 3 - $ 2,446,000

Explanation:

Computation of Production budget for quarter 3 for skis

Closing inventory- skis end of quarter 3                                   4,900 skis

Add: Sales for quarter 3 -  skis                                                164,000 skis

Less: Opening inventory - skis                                               <u>(    6,400)</u> skis  

Production for skis in units                                                      162,500 skis

Computation of direct material budget for quarter 3

Closing inventory Carbon fiber                                                  5,400 pounds

Add: Consumption of Carbon fiber in production    

162,500 skis * 2 pounds                                                         325,000 pounds                                        

Less: Closing inventory Carbon fiber                                   <u> (     7,400) </u>pounds

Direct Materials carbon Fiber Budgeted Purchases            323,000 pounds

Cost of Carbon Fiber Purchases ($ 13*323,000 pounds)    $ 4,199,000

Computation of direct labor budget for quarter 3

Production of skis for quarter 3                                                162,500 skis

Direct Labor hours per unit                                                        0.5 hours

Cost per Direct Labor Hours                                                      $ 18 per hour

Total Direct Labor Budget (162,500 skis* 0.5 hours * $ 18 )   $ 1,462,500

Computation of Factory overhead budget for quarter 3

Production of skis for quarter 3                                                162,500 skis

Variable costs $ 8 per labor hours ( 81,250 hours * $ 8)        $   650,000

Fixed overhead per quarter                                                      <u>$ 1,796,000</u>

Total overhead for quarter 3                                                    $ 2,446,000

Given the returns for two stocks with the following information, calculate the correlation coefficient of the returns for the tw
julsineya [31]

Answer:

The correlation coefficient of the returns for the two stocks is 0.231

Explanation:

From the question given, we apply the method called co variance

Co variance is referred to as when the co-movement of variables are measured.  

The co variance is defined as:

ρ₁,₂=Cov₁,₂/σ₁ x σ₂

The Expected return of stock 1 μ1= 0.4 x 9+0.5 x 11+0.1 x 17=10.8%

The Expected return of stock 1 μ2=0.4 x 11+0.5 x 8+0.1 x 13=9.7%

The Variance of stock 1 σ²₁ is:

1 σ²₁=0.092 x 0.4+0.112 x 0.5+0.172 x 0.1−0.1082σ12=0.092 x 0.4+0.112 x 0.5+0.172 x 0.1−0.1082

=0.012180-0.011664 =0.000516

The standard deviation of stock 1 σ₁ =2√0.0005162 =0.022716 =2.2716%

Thus,

The Variance of stock 2 σ²₂ is:

2 σ²₂= 0.112 x 0.4+0.082 x 0.5+0.132 x 0.1−0.09722 =0.009730-0.009409=0.000321

The standard deviation of stock 2 σ₂ =2√0.000321 =0.017916=1.792%

Cov₁,₂=0.4 x (0.09−0.108)x (0.11−0.097)+0.5 x(0.11−0.108)x(0.08−0.097)+0.1 x(0.17−0.108)x(0.13 8)x(0.13−0.097) =-0.000094-0.000017+0.000205 =0.000094

Therefore,

ρ₁,₂=0.000094/((0.017916)x(0.022716)) =0.231

your parents spent $7,800 to buy 200 shares of stock in a new company 12 years ago. the stock has appreciated 14.6 percent per y
maw [93]

Based on the information the current value of those 200 shares is $40,023.03.

Using this formula

Future value=Principal(1+rate)^Time

Where:

Principal=$7,800

Rate=14.6% or .145

Time =12 years

Let plug in the formula

Future value=$7,800 × (1 + .146)^12

Future value=$7,800×(1.146)^12

Future value=$7,800×5.131159

Future value= $40,023.03

Inconclusion the current value of those 200 shares is $40,023.03.
