Answer:

$100,000

Explanation:

According to the internal revenue service ''<u>In most situations, the basis of an asset is its cost to you.</u> <u>The cost is the amount you pay for it in cash</u>, debt obligations, and other property or services. Cost includes sales tax and other <u>expenses connected with the purchase</u>.''

Therefore Sebastian's basis in these two assets is unconnected with the fair market value of the assets but with the cost.

Purchased Equipment is always recorded at its acquisition cost or its net book value, that is after deducting the accumulated depreciation . In the scenario we have no depreciation figures, hence the basis is the cost of $100,000

Rudik [331]

Answer:

$245,000.00

Explanation:

The amount of sales revenue to be made to achieve target profit is computed as follows:

<em>Sales revenue to achieve target income</em>

<em>= Total fixed cost for the period + target profit/ contribution margin</em>

Contribution margin = (Sales - variable cost) / sales   ×  100

The figure has been given as 40% in the question

Sales revenue to achieve target profit = (83,000 + 15,000)/0.4

$245,000.00

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

8%

Explanation:

If the current quarterly dividend on preferred stock = $1.60, that means that the current yearly dividend = $1.60 x 4 quarters = $6.40

Since the yearly dividend = $6.40 and the current market price of preferred stock is $80, its expected rate of return = $6.40 / $80 = 8%
