Answer:
The answer is: If Allen is a professional gambler, he can use his gambling losses to offset the income from his gambling activities.
Explanation:
We can consider the airfare and hotel expenses as income part of Allen's income (+$3,000) but since he lost more money in the casino (-$25,000), the net effect is an economic loss (-$22,000).
That economic loss isn't tax deductible unless he was a professional gambler, then he could offset his income by $22,000.
Answer:
6%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Amount of bond issued = $10,000,000
Cash paid = $300,000
Term of bond = 10years
Semiannual interest pay
The stated annual rate of interest on the bond can be calculated thus :
Rate of interest ;
Cash paid / Amount of bond issued
$300,000 / $10,000,000
= 0.03
0.03 * 100%
= 3% (semiannual interest)
Therefore, annual rate of interest :
Semiannual rate * 2
3% * 2 = 6%
Answer:
$1.70
Explanation:
Given that,
Current stock price= $40
Strike price= $39
After a period of one month, two states will be achievable.
- First state
Stock price=$42
Option value= 42-39
=$3
- Second state
Stock price= $38
Option value= 0
Upmove size of first state is
U= 42/40 =1.05
Downmove size of the second state is
D=38/40=0.95
The values given for the upside probability is given as:
Rf= 0.08
t= 1/12
πu = 0.567
The downside probability is equal to:
= 1 - 0.567
= 0.433
Therefore, the present value of option is:
(0.567 × 3) + (0.43 × 0) / e^0.08 × 1/12
= 1.70
Thus, the value of a one-month European call option is $1.70
Answer:
In states where the administrator has designated the IARD as the method for filing registration applications electronically, two exemptions are available.
