Yes it can be applied.
If an investor is pessimistic that a certain risk that they fear will occur, they avoid investing in the fields prone to the risk.
For example, if an investor is offered an opportunity in the oil and flammable fuels and the persons dreads fire, that person declines the offer no matter how viable it is.

shusha [124]

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'B': The 24 hours that comprise a day

Explanation:

For comparison between 2 random variables only those values can be said to be identical that have the same values.

From the given options if we compare Joe and Bill Gates we conclude

1) The 2 person's are not identically limited by wealth as the wealth difference can be large.

2) Similarly they can have a vast difference in their knowledge.

3) Person that has larger wealth and knowledge will naturally have larger influence.

Now since the length of a day is 24 hours and this is a universal truth no matter what the circumstances we conclude that they both are limited by this parameter no matter whatever be the difference between the 2.

Answer:

Credit accumulated depreciation for 2017 is $46,000

Explanation:

Accumulated depreciation increases as a result of increase in depreciation charged on fixed assets.

Given that:

Accumulated Depreciation = $48,000

Deferred Gain on Transfer = $12,000

Amortization of Gain = Deferred Gain on Transfer / 6 years remaining = $12000 / 6 = $2000

Credit to Accumulated Depreciation for 2017 = Accumulated Depreciation - Deferred gain on transfer = $48000 - $2000 = $46000

Plutonic Inc. had $400 million in taxable income for the current year. Plutonic also had an increase in deferred tax liabilities

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Increase of 130 million

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;

Firstly, we calculate the current tax.

Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million

Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million

This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million

We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.

This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million

A project has cash flows of −$161,900, $60,800, $62,300, and $75,000 for Years 0 to 3, respectively. The required rate of return

Degger [83]

Answer:

Therefore, the internal rate of return is lower than the expected return, for this the project must be rejected

Explanation:

Solution

Given that

The cash flow of a project consists of the following amount from year 0 to 3 = −$161,900, $60,800, $62,300, and $75,000

The rate of return required = 13%

Now,

Let the Internal rate of return be y%

Thus,

At internal rate of return, the value of present inflows is the same as the value of present outflows.

So,

Internal rate of return = Value of present inflows = Value of present outflows

=161900 =60800/1.0y +62300/1.0 y ^2 + 75000/ 1,0 y^3

Therefore, y = internal rate of return 10.41%
