Answer:

$500 short-term capital gain

Explanation:

Henrietta's gain = selling price - stock's basis = $13,500 - $13,000 = $500

Since Henrietta received the stocks on June 1, 2015, and sold them on January 1, 2016, only 7 months had passed, therefore, this transaction would be considered a short term capital gain.

When a gift is sold (in this case the stocks), a taxpayer can use the basis for computing gains. If the stocks were sold at a loss, Henrietta should use the lower value (at the moment of the gift) to determine her loss.

Answer:

The time line from minting to the first sale is:

0-192

$15 - $430,000

we can use either the FV or the PV formula. Both will give the same answer since they are the inverse of each other. We will use the FV formula, that is:

FV = PV(1 + r)t

Solving for r :

r = (FV/PV)1/t - 1

r = ($430,000/$15)1/192 - 1

r = .0549, or 5.49%

The time line from the first sale to the second sale is:

0-35

$430,000 - $4,582,500

we can use either the FV or the PV formula. Using the FV formula, that is:

FV = PV(1 + r)t

Solving for r:

r = (FV/PV)1/t - 1

r = ($4,582,500/$430,000)1/35 - 1

r = .0699, or 6.99%

The time line from minting to the second sale is:

0-227

$15 - $4,582,500

we can use either the FV or the PV formula. Both will give the same answer since they are the inverse of each other. We will use the FV formula, that is:

FV = PV(1 + r)t

Solving for r, we get:

r = (FV/PV)1/t - 1

r = ($4,582,500/$15)1/227 - 1

r = .0572, or 5.72%

stepladder [879]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In this case, the advancement payment can help with the payment of the money owned by the taxpayer over a definite period of time. This enables a step-wise payment of the monies that will be owed over a flexible time period, in this case, the period of 36 months that translates to the three-year period. In this period, the tax can be paid in small amounts with an increment in the interest as applicable.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The return on assets is 8.4%

Explanation:

In order to calculate the return on assets we will first need to find the average total assets. We will do this by adding the beginning and ending total assets and dividing it by 2.

Average total assets= (31,500+20,500)/2= 26.000

Now in order to find the return on assets we will divide the net income by the average total assets.

Return on assets = 2,200/26,000=0.084=8.4%
