Answer:

Speculative

Explanation:

Investors/ traders normally use this tactic to hold cash so as to make the best use of any investment opportunity that may come up

Keeping all money invested doesn't always provide the best solution  all the time. Maintaining some  amount of liquidity in one's portfolio is one of the top priorities for an investor. Generally, investors keep a fair amount of such cash with them so as to earn higher profits.

.In such a situation as RB enterprises was put in , the cash kept  aside by the them equips him to exploit such an attractive investment opportunity. This is known as speculative motive.

Answer:

(C) Profit margin ratio= 8.57%

(D) Total assets turnover= 1.55

(E) Return on assets= 13.26%

Explanation:

(A) The Interest coverage charge ratio can be calculated as follows= EBIT/Interest expense

= 45,300/7,300

= 6.21

(B) The fixed charge coverage can be calculated as follows

= income before fixed charge + interest/fixed charges + interest

= 45,300+13,300/7,300+13,300

= 58,600/20,600

= 2.84

(C) The profit margin ratio can be calculated as follows

= Net income/sales × 100

= 22,800/266,000 × 100

=0.0857 × 100

= 8.57%

(D) The total assets turnover can be calculated as follows

= Sales/total assets

= 266,000/172,000

= 1.55

(E) The return on assets can be calculated as follows

= Net income/Total assets × 100

= 22,800/172,000 × 100

= 0.13255×100

= 13.26%

Stanford owns and operates two dry cleaning businesses. He travels to Boston to discuss acquiring a restaurant. Later in the mon
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The answer is: $4,522

Explanation:

Since Stanford doesn't operate in the restaurant business and doesn't buy the restaurant, he cannot deduct any amount for investigation costs relating to the restaurant.

Stanford doesn't operate in the bakery business but he bought the bakery, so he can deduct up to $5,000 (before amortization) for investigation costs related to the bakery. But those $5,000 are reduced by every dollar he spent over $50,000, so he can only deduct $4,000 [= $5,000 - ($51,000 - $50,000)].

The remaining $47,000 (= $51,000 - $4,000) can be amortized over 180 months, which equals $261 per month (= $47,000 / 180 months).

Since he bought the restaurant in November, he can deduct two months: $261 per month x 2 months = $522

So his total deduction for investigation expenses is = $4,000 + $522 = $4,522
