Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Initial amount invested  = $50 × 100 × 50% = $2,500

Profit from sale and repurchase = ($50 - $40) × 100 = $1,000

Rate of return = $1,000 ÷ $2,500 = 0.40, or 40%.

Therefor, the rate of return would be 40%.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

Troy (single) purchased a home in Hopkinton, MA, on January 1,2007, for $300,000. He sold the home on January 1, 2016, for$320,0
Kryger [21]

Answer:

Person T has rented home for the period of 1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011 for principal purpose. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012. From 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013. T rented premises. Afterward. Person T used the home for living from the date 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2012. Accumulated depreciation on the same is SO.

1st January 2007 to 31st December 2011- Rented for 5 years

1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012 — Principal resident for 1 year 1st January 2013 to 31st December 2013- Rented for 1 year

1st January 2013 to 31st December 2016 — Principal resident for 4 years

Person T is successful in criteria of user test and ownership tests. As Person T has used the home for a minimum two years out of the last five years from the date of sale. Person T has used home for the principal residence for 5 years and 6 years as a rented resident. Hence allowance of gain should be in proportion basis.

Calculation of percentage of gain for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax:

Exemption = (Principal residence year/Total no.of years)  × 100  

Exemption = (5/11) × 100

Exemption = 45.45%

Hence, 45.45% is exempted from tax.

Calculation of amount for which Person T is eligible for an exemption from paying tax

Exempted amount = Tax Exemption x Capital gain

= 45.45% × $20,000

= $9,090

Hence, the eligible amount of exemption is $9,090.

Calculation of amount for Person T is not eligible for an exception from paying tax

Not exempted amount = Total profit - Exempted amount

Not exempted amount = $20,000 - $9,090

Not exempted amount = $10,910

Hence. Person T can claim exemption of capital gain for $9.090 from her total taxable income.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a). A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer.

-<u> Increase in exports while no change in imports</u>.

(b). The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.

- <u>Decrease in a net outflow of capital. Thus, it would be considered as a negative inflow/outflow</u>.

(c). An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.

- <u>Increase in Net Capital outflow for the U.S</u>.

Explanation:

Exports are described as the selling of domestic goods to a foreign country while Imports are characterized as the process of bringing in foreign goods to the domestic country. And Capital outflow is defined as the exact flow of funds from domestic to foreign and foreign to the domestic country.

In the first case, the purchase reflects a rise in exports as the domestic product is sold to the foreign country. In the second situation, the net outflow of the capital would decreases as it demonstrates a foreign purchase of a domestic asset. In the third example, the American investors' purchase of a South Korean firm demonstrates a domestic purchase of a foreign asset and thus, the net capital outflow would rise.

Neporo4naja [7]
No, it would cost $210. 
Each hour charges $40. 4 hours alone is $160.
On top of that, calling the electrician is a flat rate of $50. In total, it would cost $210. 

More mathematically, you could set up an equation. 

(Price) = $50 + $40 * (hours) 

Then plug in 4 hours 

price = 50 + 40*4
= 50+160
= 210
