Answer:
The portion of the initial amount that was given away is:
= 0.40
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of apples available = 10
Number of those apples given to a friend for Christmas = 4
The portion given away = 4/10 = 0.4
This represents 40% of the whole.
b) The portion given away to the friend for Christmas is a proportion of the whole.  In this case, it represents just 40% of the 10 apples.  This means that only 60% or 0.60 of the original apples are still available or on hand because 40% had been given away.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
What is Swan’s taxable gain on the distribution of the cottage?
Fair market value of property = 200000
Less: adjusted basis of property= 115000(150000-35000)
Taxable gain on distribution = 85000
What is Swan's current E&P after the distribution on 12/31/13?
Swans current E&P = 300000
Add: taxable gain on distribution = 85000
Less: distribution made = 165000(200000-35000)
After distribution E&P = 220000
What is the taxable dividend to the shareholder (if any)?
Taxable dividend to shareholders = 200000-35000 = 165000
What is the shareholder's basis in the cottage?
Shareholders basis is FMV of property i.e. 200000
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Correct option is (c)
Explanation:
Given:
Shares outstanding in 2017 = Issued shares - shares held in treasury
Issued shares in 2017 = 9 million
Shares held in treasury in 2017 = 4 million
Substitute the values in the above formula:
Shares outstanding in 2017 = 9 million - 4 million = 5 million
So, 5 million shares were outstanding as  on 12/31/2017

The midpoint method is to calculate the percentage as the change in value divided by the average (or midpoint) of the new and old values. So the price of the sandwich changed from $5 to $7. Using the midpoint formula, you get
(7-5)/((7+5)/2) = 2/(12/2) = 2/6 = 0.3333 = +33.3%
The change in sandwiches due to the change in price is
(90-70)/((90+70)/2) = 20/(160/2) = 20/80 = 0.25 = +25%
The elasticity of supply will be the percentage change in demand divided by the percentage change in price. So
25/33.3 = 0.75
So the coefficient of elasticity is 0.75</span>
