Answer:

Explanation:

Given that :

Jacob Corcoran bought 10,000 shares of Grebe Corporation stock two years ago for $24,000.

Last year, Jacob received a nontaxable stock dividend of 2,000 shares in Grebe Corporation, and

In the current tax year, Jacob sold all of the stock received as a dividend for $18,000.

The objective is to prepare a memo for the tax research file describing the tax consequences of the stock sale.

From the tax research file:

The gain on the sale of the 2,000 shares is calculated by the difference from the sales price and the shares sold.

I.e $24000 - $18000 = $6000

The tax rate on the $2000 = Purchase price of the shares/ (Original shares bought + new shares)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares = $24000/($10000+$2000)

The tax rate on the 2000 shares=  $24000/$12000

The tax rate on the 2000 shares=  $2 / shares

The Gain in the share = selling price - tax basis in the 2,000 new shares

The Gain in the share =  $18000 - $4000

The Gain in the share = $14000

∴

This is the long capital gain i.e  $14000

The memo in summary goes thus:

The amount of $24000 is being paid by you for 10000 shares of stock in Grebe Corporation in which a stock dividend of 2000 was received. However, the share is sold for $18000, the tax basis is deduced by dividing $24000 purchasing price by $12000(original price + new shares price) which resulted into a $2/ shares.  The $14,000 gain on the sale is a long-term capital gain. The gain on the sale is long term because the original Grebe stock has been held for more than one year.

Assume a purely competitive firm is selling 200 units of output at $3 each. At this output, its total fixed cost is $100 and its
raketka [301]

The correct option is:<u> maximizing its </u><u>profit</u><u>, but not necessarily the </u><u>maximum profit</u><u>.</u>

<h3>What is Profit Maximization in a Perfectly Competitive Market ?</h3>

The perfectly competitive firm can choose to sell any quantity of output at exactly the same price. This implies that the firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve for its product: buyers are willing to buy any number of units of output from the firm at the market price.

When the perfectly competitive firm chooses what quantity to produce, then this quantity—along with the prices prevailing in the market for output and inputs—will determine the firm’s total revenue, total costs, and ultimately, level of profits.

A perfectly competitive firm has only one major decision to make—namely, what quantity to produce. To understand why this is so, consider the basic definition of profit:

Profit=Total revenue−Total cost

(Price) (Quantity produced)−(Average cost) (Quantity produced)

According the question scenario,

<u>Given:</u>

Firm is selling  = 200 units

output = $3 each

fixed cost = $100

variable cost = $350

<u>solution:</u>

Total average cost = variable cost + fixed cost .........(1)

Total average cost  = 350 + 100

Total average cost  = $450

Cost per unit = average cost ÷ no of unit ...................(2)

Cost per unit = 450  ÷  200

Cost per unit = $2.25

So here firm is incurring per units is $2.25 but here earning per unit is $3.

So that here firm is earning economic profit as here market price is greater than earning maximum profit.

Therefore, we can conclude that the correct option is : <u>maximizing its profit, but not necessarily the </u><u>maximum profit. </u>

What are two reasons to save instead of invest?
aliya0001 [1]
Safety and liquidity. Liquidity means the ability to use it at a moments notice and if saved that is possible whereas if invested that may not always be the case. If invested you won’t be able to use the funds immediately or at least you aren’t guaranteed that you can without a delay. The other imp reason is safety. If you save your money it is safe and retains its value but if invested it’s value can fluctuate which you tolerate and expect in the hopes that over time it will earn you more money.
