Answer: The cost recovery deduction for 2019 for these assets is $43000.
Explanation:
New business asset (five year property) purchased March 10, 2019 = $30000
New business asset (seven year property) purchased on November 20, 2019 = $13000
Additional depreciation of the first year is referred as the bonus depreciation.
Also, bonus depreciation in the year 2019 is at 100% of the value of assets bought during this year.
∴ Total assets value = New business asset (five year property) + New business asset (seven year property)
= $30000 + $13000
= $43000
Hence, the cost recovery deduction for 2019 for these assets is $43000.
The payee has a legal obligation to submit the funds.
Explanation:
Once a transaction is agreed upon it becomes a legal obligation of the payee to pay the business owner.
<u>Accounts receivable are thus counted in the balance sheets as liquid funds or current funds as they are converted into cash in less than an year is most cases. </u>
In such a case that doesn't happen, they are counted as long term assets of a company. Any potential income guaranteed by legality is counted in the balance sheet as assets.
Answer:
$120
Explanation:
Given:
• Geometric growth rate of existing financial security:
$4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 to $128
• Arithmetic growth rate of underlying assests:
$4 to $6 to $8 to $10 to $12 to $14
From the values, when the price of the underlying assests is $14, the price of the existing financial security is $128.
We are told to that when values of financial secrities increased from $4 to $128, that of underlying assests also increased from $4 to $14. If patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases. Therefore to get the value of financial securities decline if the value of underlying assests suddenly and unexpectedly fell by $6, we have:
Price of underlying assests when decreased by $6 =
$14-$6 = $8.
Therefore, price of existing financial security decline wil be:
$128-$8 = $120
