Answer:

B. £0.2055/$

Explanation:

Given that

An Ounce of gold cost = $20.67 in US dollars

An ounce of gold cost = £4.2474 in British pounds.

Therefore,

Exchange rate per 1 dollar

= 4.2474 ÷ 20.67

= 0.20548

= 0.2055.

This means that 1 dollar is equivalent to 0.2055 British dollars at that time using that exchange rate.

£0.2055/$

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

D) $40,000

Explanation:

The Joneses qualify for a Section 121 exemption since they lived at their house for 20 years. They are exempted from paying capital gains taxes on the first $500,000 ($250,000 if single) in realized gains from selling their home.

Joneses taxable gain = $750,000 (sales price) - $210,000 (basis) - $500,000 (section 121) = $40,000

They will have to recognize only $40,000 in gains.

Explanation:

We solve for the presnet value of an annuity of 20 year of $1400 at 0.5% discount rate

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 1,400.00

time 240 (20 years x 12 month per year)

rate 0.005 (6% / 12 monhts = 0.5% = 0.5/100 = 0.005)

1400 \times \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-240} }{0.005} = PV\\

PV $195,413.0804
