Answer: $438
Explanation:
Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange will be gotten as the adjusted basis of asset exchanged which will then be decreased by the liability assumed on the property that's transfered. This will be:
= $535 - $97
= $438
Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
Answer:
19.50%
Explanation:
In this question, we apply the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) formula which is shown below
Expected rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - Risk-free rate of return)
For Stock R
= 3% + 2.5 × (13% - 3%)
= 3% + 2.5 × 10%
= 3% + 25%
= 28.00%
For Stock S
= 3% + 0.55 × (13% - 3%)
= 3% + 0.55 × 10%
= 3% + 5.5%
= 8.50%
The difference would be
= 28% - 8.5%
= 19.50%
Answer:
False
Explanation:
The contribution margin will be higher for the company with the highest fixed expenses. Contribution margin = selling price - variable cost
For example:
Company A Company B
sales price per unit $100 $100
total costs per unit $80 $80
variable costs per unit $50 $40
<u>fixed costs per unit $30 $40 </u>
contribution margin $50 $60
Answer:
To evaluate the choice, we have to calculate the present value of future cash flows and compare it with the cost. We use the following formula
present value = C × [ 
]
where
C = yearly payments = 75000
i = interest rate = 8%
n = no. of years = 15
put the given values in above equation, we get
Present value = 75000 ×8.559478688
= 641,961
Since the present value of cash flow 641,961 is less than the cost 750,000, I would not recommend it.
If Interest rate = 5%, then:
Do the same procedure as above but take i=5%
Present value = 75000 × 10.37965804
= 778,474
Since the present value of future cash flows 778,474 is greater than the cost 750,000, I would recommend it.
