Answer:
Mr Crane's total return on the bond investment was 5.35%
Explanation:
The return on a bond is also known as it yield to maturity (YTM). In order to find a bonds YTM we need to know its present value, future value, coupon payments and number of years. In this case the bond's present value is 1,055 because it was bought at this price, it's future value is 980 because it was sold for 980, its number of years was 5 as it was held for 5 years and its coupon payment was (0.07*1000)=70. Now in order to compute return or ytm we need to put all these values in a financial calculator and compute I
PV= -1055
FV= 980
PMT= 70
N=5
Compute I=5.35
The return on the bond investment was 5.35%
Answer: $828
Explanation:
Given the following :
Semi-annual payment = $40
Period = 20 years
Number of payments = (20 * 2)(semiannual) = 40 payments
Par value = $1000
Interest rate = 5%
Using the PV table:
PV at $1 (40, 5%) = 0.1420
PVA at $1 (40, 5%) = 17.159
[Par value * PV at $1 (40, 5%)] + [$40 * PVA at $1 (40, 5%)]
= ($1000 * 0.1420) + ($40 * 17.159)
= $142 + $686.36
=$828.36
= $826
The appropriate action would be: C. <span>Thank the taxpayer, and explain that you cannot accept any payment for your services.
Government workers couldn't receive cash payment in any kind unless there is a necessary administrative purpose.
They could on the other hand, receives Gifts that held the value less than $ 20</span>
Answer:
d)$1,100 long-term capital gain
Explanation:
Given the information from the question. We know that a long-term capital gain or loss comes from investment that was possessed for a year or longer. However in this case, since the necklace was a gift .Therefore, there were no capital gain in 2014. In 2016, Lindsey sold the necklace for $1200. Therefore, the capital gain on the necklace will calculated as $1200- $100 = $1100. Where the $100 is a cost purchase for the previous owner. Therefore, long-term capital gain is $1100 which is option D.
