Answer:

B: Purchasing a new computer

Explanation:

Investing your money in a new computer does not teach you new skills so it would not be counted as an investment in human capital. Obtaining a college degree, attending a first-aid class, and paying for cooking lessons enhances your creativity and skills so they are the perfect examples of investments in human capital. Moreover, one of the major characteristics of investing in human capital is that they are intangible so that's another reason why purchasing a new computer cannot be categorized as an investment in human capital.

A stock will pay no dividends for the next 5 years. Then it will pay a dividend of $5 growing at 2%. The discount rate is 10%. W

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

$38.81

Explanation:

The value of the stock is the present value of its future divided payments, bearing in mind that the first dividend is payable six years from,hence, the present value of dividend in year 5( a year before its payment) is then computed thus:

PV of dividend at the end of year 5=expected dividend/discount rate-growth rate

expected dividend in year 6=$5

discount rate=10%

growth rate=2%

PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$5/(10%-2%)

PV of dividend at the end of year 5=$62.50

We need to discount the PV backward by 5 years to show the stock value today

the current stock price=$62.50/(1+10%)^5

the current stock price= $38.81

hammer [34]

Answer:

B. 0.1446

Explanation:

Yield refers to the benefits or earnings realized from an investment over a particular period.

Calculation of yield considers the profits made and the amounts invested.

The amount invested in this case

The commission =$1,340.75

Costs of the shares = 258 x $73.96 =$19,081. 68

Total cost of investment

= $19,081. 68 + $1,340.75

= $20,422.43

The gain realized = $11.45 x 258

=$2,954.1

Annual yield= =$2,954.1/$20,422.43

=0.144649

=0.1446

poizon [28]

Answer:

d. $720,000 asset.

Explanation:

At 2014 David Company reported a loss for 2,400,000 which, for taxes purposes wasn't recognized.

Thus, there is a temporary diffrence in favor of the company,

as is paying more income tax today (the 2,400,000 loss is not recognzied thus, more income taxes are being paid)

and then, will pay less than the accounting net income (latter will pay taxes including this loss, thus less income tax)

This is a deffered income tax asset for: 2,400,000 x 30% = 720,000

tax deffered(assets) 720,000 debit

income tax expense 60,000 debit

cash 780,000 credit
