Answer:
a. An additional layer of $12,760 is added to the 12/31/2021 balance.
Explanation:
The computation of the inventory balance is given below:
2021 Base year cost is 
=  $131,040 ÷ 1.05
= $124,800
Additional layer is 
= $124,800 - $101,600
= $23,200
2022 Base year cost is 
= $150,040 ÷ 1.10
= $136,400
Additional layer is 
= ($136,400 - $124,800 ) × 1.10 
= $11,600  1.10
= $12,760
Therefore the first option is correct
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.
Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
expected return = 12.03%
Explanation:
using the dividends growth model we can calculate the required return

2.22 x 1.03 = 2.2866
We must remember that the gordel model is used with next year dividends
2.2866(return - 0.023) = 19
2.2866/19      +0.023 = return
return = 12.03%
