The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention meaning
Evgen [1.6K]
<span>"The smallest deed is better than the greatest intention"

Here's my look on this saying:

Many of people, including myself have talked about our great intentions to impact somebody or some place. We might intend to do something, but forget about the importance of following through with those intentions. It is far better to make time to complete small good deeds than to spend your time talking about what you will do “one day.” This can be brought back to the quote, "No deed is too small the be appreciated". No matter how much good we intend to do, it will never compare, in all actuality, to how much good we actually do.

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day! :D

stira [4]

Answer:

company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity

Explanation:

cost of equity = risk free rate + (beta x market premium)

risk free rate = 4.25%

market premium = market return - risk free rate = 11% - 4.25% = 6.75%

Company A's cost of equity = 4.25% + (0.7 x 6.75%) = 8.975%

Company B's cost of equity = 4.25% x (1.45 x 6.75%) = 14.0375%

this means that company B's cost of equity is 14.0375% - 8.975% = 5.0625% higher than company A's cost of equity.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Option ( b ) $57,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Net income = $300,000

W-2 wages = $120,000

Assets with unadjusted basis = $75,000

Taxable income before the QBI deduction = $285,000

Now,

The QBI deduction for 2019 will be given as 20% of the qualified income i.e the taxable income before the QBI deduction

Therefore,

The QBI deduction for 2019 = 20% of $285,000

= 0.20 × $285,000

= $57,000

Hence,

Option ( b ) $57,000
