Answer:

Recognized gain = $6000

Basis of the bond = $22,000

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Adjusted basis of stock = $19,000

After trading the stock for bond;

Market value of bond = $22,000

Cash received = $3000

Recognized gain = valuation after trading stock for bond - Adjusted basis of stock

Therefore,

Recognized gain = ($22,000+$3000) - $19,000 = $6000

Basis of a bond is simply the market value or quoted price of the bond.

Here, the market value of the bond received by trading his stock is $22,000

Therefore, the basis of the bond is $22,000

A firm's diversification strategy is most likely to add value if:________. a. There exist economies of scope between diversified
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Option A. There exist economies of scope between diversified business units

Explanation:

The reason is that diversification is lowering the industry risk of the business the company is in by investing in several other industries. This helps us to lower the risk and have a steady returns in the subsequent years. This means uncertainty related to cash flows is lowered and this has also increased the chances of cash surplus for subsequent years.

Furthermore, if the investments made in diversified business units possesses economies of scope, which means that we are in related diversification because we are manufacturing different but similar goods which are substitutes to each other from large to some extent. This brings economies of scope and would lower the total operating cost of company. Hence the <u>Option A</u> which says that economies of scope does add value to the company is the right option.

Option B is not preferable option as the option of investing in different businesses is choosen in the option A.

Option C is again the same as Option B and the difference is that it uses the word several unrelated businesses instead of comprehensive business portfolio which is the same thing. Hence <u>Option C</u> is also not preferable option here.

<u>Option D</u> is incorrect because when we acquire an organization it is the move of increase in risk portfolio because acquisitions are mostly not a sound investments and not a part of diversification strategy as the company is putting all the eggs in the single basket.
