Answer:

C. To enforce property rights

Explanation:

Government intervention in market can be non materistically via regulation , materistically via taxes & subsidy.

Although the second materislistic way of tax, subsidy comes under the perview of 'Government Budget' .

Government budget is anual financial statement showing economy's expected revenue & expenditure .

Economic growth & stability by reallocation of resources , reducing income inequalities - reflect 'efficiency' & 'equity' as valid reasons .

Foreign protection is also not invalid depending upon the initial budding stage of a developing economy & its global stand. Eg - India 1950 to 1990 .

However all these are progressive legitimate reason for govt. Intervention .

But , enforcing property rights is a feature of 'socialistic (communistic) economy - which has its own demerits like loss of consumers soveireignity , lack of postive competitive efficiency , govt overburden.

Mr. Boyd and Ms. Tuck decide to form a new corporation named BT Inc. Mr. Boyd transfers $10,000 cash and business inventory ($20

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

1. Mr Boyd's share = 400, Ms Tuck = 800

2. Mr Boyd's realised gain = $16,800, recognized gain = $0, basis = $13200

Ms Tuck's realized gain = $18500, gain recognized = 0, basis = $41500

Explanation:

Total share = $1200

Cash received from Mr Boyd = 10000

FMV from him = 20000

Total value = 30000

FMV of equipment from Ms Tuck = 60000

Total value from both of them = 60000 + 30000 = $90000

Number of share Mr Boyd is to receive = 1200x(30000/90000)

= 400

Number of share Ms Tuck is to receive

= 1200x(60000/90000)

= 800

Mr Boyd's gains

Cash received = 10000

FMV = 20000

Total = 30000

Adjusted basis = 3200

Total tax basis = 10000+3200

Gain realized = 30000-13200

= 16800

Gain realized = 0 because it is a non taxable exchange.

Mr Boyd's realised gain = $16800, recognised gain = $0, basis = $13200

Ms Tuck

FMV = 60000

Adjusted tax basis = 41500

Gain realized = 60000-41500

= 18500

Gain recognized = 0(non taxable exchange)

Ms Tuck's realized gain = $18500, recognized gain = $0, basis = $41500

the FMV basis of inventory = 20000

carryover basis = 3200

equipment basis FMV = 60000

carryover basis = 41500

note that no gain if equal to or more than 80 percent of the ownership of the stock in a non taxable exchange.

Answer:

1. Real risk-free rate.

2. Nominal risk free-rate.

3. Inflation premium.

4. Liquidity risk premium.

5. Liquidity risk premium.

6. Maturity risk premium.

Explanation:

Market interest rates can be defined as the amount of interests (money) paid by an individual on deposits and other financial securities or investments. The factors that typically affect the market interest rate known as the determinant of market interest rates are;

1. This is the rate on short-term U.S. Treasury securities, assuming there is no inflation: Real risk-free rate r*

2. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*: Nominal risk free rate.

3. This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time: Inflation premium.

4. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full: Liquidity risk premium.

5. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability, because it cannot be bought and sold quickly without losing value: Liquidity risk premium.

6. This is the premium that reflects the risk associated with changes in interest rates for a long-term security: Maturity risk premium.
