Answer:

I agree with Mike because pure risks involve only possible losses. Since he owns his house, the possibility of it burning down would represent only a loss to him.

But if he buys insurance, he will pay an insurance premium which means that if the house burns down, the company will lose money, but if the hose doesn't burn down, the insurance company will make a profit. This represents speculative risk because the possibility of a gain and a loss exist.

Brittany Callihan sold stock (basis of $184,000) to her son, Ridge, for $160,000, the fair market value. a. What are the tax con
ycow [4]

Answer:

(a) Brittany loss due to taxes = Basis - fair market value

                                                = $184,000 - $160,000

                                                = $24,000

Therefore, Brittany will have a $24,000 loss that is not deductible.

(b) Tax consequences to Ridge if he later sells the stock for $190,000 are as follows:

  • Realized gain = $30,000 and Recognized as a gain for tax payers = $6,000
  • Realized and recognized loss = $8,000
  • There is no recognized gain for Ridge and unrecognized loss of $10,000. It is permanent lost.

Cobe Company has already manufactured 23,000 units of Product A at a cost of $15 per unit. The 23,000 units can be sold at this
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The 23,000 units of Product A shall be processed further for Product B and Product C

Explanation:

In the given case we will do an analysis of Profit.

Without further processing:

Sales = $480,000

Cost = 23,000 \times $15 = $345,000

Profit = $135,000

In case of further processing

Sales = Product B + Product C

= 5,000 \times $107 + 11,300 \times $53

= $535,000 + $598,900 = $1,133,900

Cost = $345,000 + $290,000 = $635,000

Profit = $498,900

Since the profit in case of further processing is more than without processing further by $500,000 (635,000 - 135,000), thus Product B and Product C should be sold more than Product A.
