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.

Consider the market for widgets. Widgets can be produced in the United States or abroad. Assume that U.S. consumers wish to buy
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

$10

Explanation:

Price    Q Demanded      Q Supplied Domestically    Q Supplied by Importers  $6              13,000                        2,000                                        8,000

$7               12,000                       4,000                                        8,000

$8               11,000                        6,000                                        8,000

$9               10,000                       8,000                                        8,000

<u>$10              9,000         =             9,000 </u><u>  </u>                                     8,000

$11               8,000                       10,000                                        8,000

If there is no international trade allowed, then we should look for the price at which the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied by domestic producers. At $10 per widget, the total quantity demanded is 9,000 units and the total quantity supplied by domestic producers is 9,000 units.

In 2018, Caterpillar Inc. had about 595 million shares outstanding. Their book value was $23.00 per share, and the market price
sashaice [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

(a)-Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Book Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $23.00 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷  [$24.80 Billion + $13.69 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $38.49 Billion

= 0.64

(b)- Caterpillar’s market debt-to-value ratio

Caterpillar’s book Market debt-to-value ratio is

= Debt ÷ [Debt + Market Value of Equity]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + (0.595 Billion Shares × $154.80 per share)]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ [$24.80 Billion + $92.11 Billion]

= $24.80 Billion ÷ $116.91 Billion

= 0.21

(c)-Best measure to determine the company’s cost of capital is the market value

If the market price of a good is more than the opportunity cost of producing it, a. the market price of the product will increas
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

If the price of a good or service is higher than its opportunity cost (what producers sacrify when they produce the good), the producers are having positive benefits. Economic benefits are measure by the sum of total income minus the sum of total expenses. In this case, producer’s income is price and producer’s expense is the opportunity cost. In a perfect competitive market, there is complete information and no barriers to entry, so if people notice that producers are having positive benefits, they will like to enter to the market. In the long-run there would be more firms than before and for instance total supply will increase.
