Barry is a lawyer. He owns 10 apartment buildings that are managed by his brother’s real estate business. At the end of the year

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

$22,500

Explanation:

Note, the applicable tax law in this case states permits an individual who engages in a rental real estate to use up to $25,000 of net losses from the rental real estate activity to offset other their other income.

Since a rental activity is classified as a passive activity, whether or not the taxpayer participates in such activity, the $25,000 rental loss is reduced by 50% of the amount in the case where Annual Gross Income (AGI) exceeds $100,000. Consequently, since Barry's AGI is $105,000 ($80,000 + $20,000 + $5,000), which is greater than $100,000, only the amount exceed $100,000 would be reduced by 50%, which is calculated below:

$105,000 – $100,000 × 50% = $2,500, next subtract amount from Barry's $25,000 ($25000-$2,500) = $22,500.

The advertised claim for batteries for cell phones is set at 48 operating hours, with proper charging procedures. a study of 500

gregori [183]

Answer:

The answer is NO. The experimental results did not support the claim that less than 0.2 percent of the company's batteries would fail during the advertised time period.

Explanation:

From the illustration, for 15 batteries to fail out of 5000 batteries that means a 0.3 percent failure. Hypothetically, since there has been a claim that about 0.2 per cent will fail and we now have a confirmed failure rate of 15 in 5000 or 0.3 per cent rate, then we can infer that the hypothesis of 0.2 percent may be incorrect after all since it is still less than the confirmed rate of 0.3 per cent failure. Thus, since 0.3 rate is higher than 0.2 rate, then the hypothesis is wrong by a margin of 0.1 percent.

The number of bonds necessary to raise the funds is 46,009

Explanation:

First of all, I calculated the price at which would be issued using the pv formula in excel, which =pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity divided by 2 because it is semi-annual payment

nper is 30 years multiplied by 2

pmt is the semi-annual coupon payment

fv is the $2000 payable on maturity

A developer is proposing to build and operate an 8 store strip mall. Each unit would rent for $3,500 per month. It is expected t

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Requirement A: CAP Rate is 12.5%

Requirement B: Capitalized Value of the Property is $1,884,960

Requirement C: Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Requirement D: Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.85

Requirement E: Loan per unit is $176,715 Per Unit

Explanation:

Requirement A: Find the CAP Rate

The CAP Rate will be calculated using the following formula:

CAP Rate = Annual Net Operating Income (NOI) (Step1) / Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Here

Operating Income is $235,620 (Step1)

Property Capitalized Value (Step2)

Now, by putting values we have:

CAP Rate = $235,620 / $1,884,960 = 12.5%

Step1: Find Annual Net Operating Income (NOI)

As we know that:

Operating Income = Expected Revenue - Operating Expense

Here

Expected Revenue from 8 Strip Malls = Rent / Month * 12 Months * (1 - Vacancy Ratio) * 8 Strips Malls

= $3,500 * 12 * (1 - 15%) * 8

= $285,600

Operating Expenses = Expected Revenue * 17.5%

= $285,600 * 17.5% = $49,980

Now by putting value in the above Operating Income equation, we have:

Annual Operating Income = $285,600 - $49,980 = $235,620

Step2: Find Property Capitalized Value (It is also Requirement B)

Property Capitalized Value = Annual Operating Income / Minimum Accepted Rate of Return (MARR)

Here

Annual Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

MARR is 12.5%

By putting values, we have:

Capitalized Value of the Property = $235,620 / 12.5% = $1,884,960

Requirement C. Find Loan Amount

It is given in the question that the Loan Amount is 75% of Property Capitalized Cost. This implies:

Loan Amount = $1,884,960 * 75% = $1,413,720

Requirement D. Debt Service Coverage Ratio

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) = Annual Net Operating Income / Total Debt Service for the Year

Here

Annual Net Operating Income is $235,620 from Step1

Total Debt Service for the Year $127,235 (See Step3 below)

By putting values, we have:

Debt Service Coverage Ratio = $235,620 / $127,235 = 1.85

Step3: Total Debt Service for the year

Total Debt Service for the year = Loan Amount * Debt Service Rate

Here

Loan Amount is $1,413,720

Debt Service Rate is 9%

By putting values, we have:

Total Debt Service for the year = $1,413,720 * 9% = $127,235

Requirement E. Find Loan Amount

We can find loan per unit by simply dividing the loan amount by number of strip mall. Here total number of strip mall are 8. This implies that:

Loan Per Unit = $1,413,720 / 8 Units = $176,715 Per Unit
