Answer:
(a) $0 (b) 0% (c) 50% (d) -40% (e) 0.444 and 0.556 (f) -0.05
Explanation:
(a) Profit (in $) = (increase in price per share of Harley-Davidson * number of Harley-Davidson shares held) - (decrease in price per share of Yahoo * number of Yahoo shares held)
= $90 - $60 = $30 increase in Harley Davidson and $25 - $15 =$10 decrease in Yahoo
= ($30*100) - ($10*300) = $0
(b) return on portfolio = return/capital invested * 100 = $0/($60 * 100 + $25 * 300) = $0/$13500 = 0%
(c) return on investment in Harley = return/capital invested in Harley * 100 = $30*100/$60*1000 = $3000/$6000 = 50%
(d) return on investment in Yahoo = return/capital invested in Yahoo * 100 = -$10*300/$25*300 = -$3000/$7500 = - 40% (negative rate of return)
(e) Weighting at the beginning of year (in decimals)
Harley Davidson = $60 * 100 units/ total invested ($60 * 100 + $25 * 300)
= $6000/$13500 = 0.444
Yahoo = $25 * 300 units/ total invested
= $7500/$13500 = 0.556
(f) realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio = 0.444*50% + 0.556*-40%
= -0.0493728
= - 0.05 (to decimal places)
Answer:
C. The Federal Trade Commission
B. As soon as they have disposable income
Explanation:
Answer: A. $25,000 B. $90,000 C. $25,000
Explanation:
A.
Land $100,000
Stock 25,000
Amount realized 125,000
Less: Adjusted basis (90000)
Recognized gain $35,000
When you receive book in an exchange which is similar or like kind, then the recognized gain is the lesser of either the boot or recognized gain. Here the lesser is the boot received which is $25,000. Therefore, recognized gain is $25,000
B.
Because the recognized gain is taken as $25,000 rather than $35,000. The $10,000 amount is considered as postponed gain. Hence,
$100,000 (land worth) - $10,000 (postponed gain) = $90,000 - basis of new land.
C.
The worth of the stock is the basis in the stock received. Which is $25,000
Answer:
Downward sloping
Explanation:
The demand curve illustrate what's known as the law of demand in economics. Consumers buy more of something when its price is lower and less when the price is higher. There is an inverse relationship between price and demand, meaning that when one rises, the other falls.
Economists give three basic reasons for the law of demand and thus for the downward slope. First is the "income effect" when prices drop (or rise), people can buy more(or less) of a good for the same amount of money. Second is the "substitution effect" if a consumer doesn't see a meaningful difference between products, they'll buy the one with the lowest price, so a price increase will drive them toward substitutes, while a reduction will draw them in.
Third is the concept of "diminishing marginal utility": if you already have plenty of something, you have less of a need to buy more of it.
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
(1 + nominal GDP) = (1 + Inflation) X (1 + real GDP)
(1.11) = (1 + Inflation) x 1.04
(1 + Inflation) = 1.11/1.04
(1 + Inflation) = 1.0673
inflation = 0.0673
inflation = 6.73%
