Answer:
B. The value of a perpetuity is equal to the sum of the present value of its expected future cash flows.
C. The current value of a perpetuity is based more on the discounted value of its nearer (in time) cash flows and less by the discounted value of its more distant (in the future) cash flows.
Explanation:
A Perpetuity is a financial instrument that pays the holder forever or in perpetuity. For example, a bank paying you $800 per year for ever because you invested $40,000.
There are certain characteristics
Option B
The Perpetuity like most financial Securities has its value based on the underlying cashflows that it can accumulate. This means that it's value is based on the present value of it's future cashflow so the other the cash payments, the higher the present value.
Option C.
As the discounted cashflows in the nearer future will be discounted less by the discount rate as opposed to the cash flows further in future, the cashflows nearer to the present in time will contribute more to the Perpetuity than the cashflows further in time.
For example using that first example, $800 per year at a rate of 5% will be discounted to $762 in the first year but in year 10 will be discounted to $491.
Answer:
The cost basis for the land is equal under both options.
Explanation:
If Taylor pays Ella $150,000 in cash and assumes the mortgage of $100,000, the cost basis of the land will be $250,000 (= $150,000 + $100,000). If he decides to pay Ella the full amount of $250,000, that will also be the cost basis of the land.
The only real difference is that if Taylor decides to assume the mortgage, he will need a smaller initial cash flow ($150,000).
Answer:
d. Selling Price
Explanation:
Break even point is calculated as 
Thus, break even point in units only in two cases,
- Fixed cost is reduced that is decreased,
- Contribution per unit is increased.
Now, here the options are
a. Increase in units sales volume is of no relevance as will not impact the fixed cost or contribution per unit.
b. Increase in fixed cost will result in higher break even point, as numerator in the fraction will increase.
c. Increase in unit variable cost will ultimately decrease the contribution thus, it is of no relevance.
d. Increase in selling price will increase the contribution per unit, that is the increase in denominator value in fraction, thus, break even units will decrease.
Correct option is
d. Selling Price
Answer: 2 steps
Explanation: While calculating impairment of goodwill following steps should be taken :-
1.In the first step the fair value of the goodwill is compared with its carrying value.
2. In the second step, if the fair value comes to be lower than the carrying value, then it is concluded that there is an impairment and then it is computed accordingly.
