ohaa [14]

Answer:

a. $80,318.70

b. $97,568.57

Explanation:

Here is the full question :

You have just received a windfall from an investment you made in a​ friend's business. She will be paying you $ 15 comma 555 at the end of this​ year, $ 31 comma 110 at the end of next​ year, and $ 46 comma 665 at the end of the year after that​ (three years from​ today). The interest rate is 6.7 % per year. a. What is the present value of your​ windfall? b. What is the future value of your windfall in three years​ (on the date of the last​ payment)?

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = $ 15,555

Cash flow in year 2 = $31,110

Cash flow in year 3 =  $ 46,665

I = 6.7%

Present value = $80,318.70

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

$80,318.70(1.067)^3 = $97,568.57

Texas Corporation is undergoing a complete liquidation and distributes land to​ Robert, one of its​ shareholders, in exchange fo
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Loss to be recognized is $25000

Explanation:

Liquidation refers to a process whereby a company's operation come to an end, which leads to distribution of assets and liabilities to the claimants and winding up the business.

A company may be forced to liquidate owing to consistent losses. In such cases, the claims of all the stakeholders cannot be satisfied and they receive pro-rata basis allocation which covers everybody's claim to an extent, if not fully.

In the given case,

Robert's receipt is Land. Liabilities attached to the land being $325,000 while the land has fair market value of $400,000.

Thus, after assuming the liability, Robert's actual realized amount is,

$400,000 - $325,000 = $75,000

Since, the land was received in consideration for discharge of Robert's own share in company amounting to $100,000.

Thus, Gain/Loss to be recognized by Robert = $75, 000 (receipts) - $100,000

                                                                  = - $25,000

i.e Robert should recognize a loss of $25,000.

8090 [49]

Answer:

(A) is the manner in which the burden of a tax is shared among participants in a market

Explanation:

Tax incidence refers to the burden of a tax between buyers or sellers or other stakeholders.

When price elasticity of supply is greater than price elasticity of demand, i.e a change in price causes supply to change more than demand, the tax incidence is said to be more burdensome for the buyers and vice versa.

It represents the distribution of tax burden to various sections of a society such as producers, consumers, etc.

For example, if taxes and duties are raised on alcohol or cigarettes, the producers shall transfer such burden on the consumers by covering their margin and raising prices. Thus, in such a case, the tax incidence would be borne by the consumers.
