Answer:

c. $7,500 ordinary gain  

Explanation:

Depreciated value of Machine = $55,000 - $12,500  

                                                   = $ 42,500

Sale price of Machine = $ 50,000

Gain on sale of Asset = $ 50,000 - $ 42,500

                                    = $ 7,500

Therefore, The amount and character of Butte's gain or loss is $7,500 ordinary gain.

Answer:

Expected rate of return on stock is 14.86%

Explanation:

The expected rate of return of a stock is the mean return that is expected to be earned by the stock considering the different scenarios that can occur, the return in these scenarios and the probability of the occurrence of these scenarios. The formula for expected rate of return of stock is,

rE = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  + pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability that scenario A, B and so on will occur or the probability of each scenario
  • rA, rB, ... represents the return in scenario A, B and so on

rE = 0.21 * 0.2  +  0.72 * 0.15  +  0.07 * -0.02

rE = 0.1486 or 14.86%
