Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2015, an auction

house sold a painting for a price of $1,080,000. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it three years earlier at a price of $1,660,000.
What was his annual rate of return on this painting? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer: -13.35%

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the annual rate of return on this painting will be calculated thus:

Sales price of painting = $1,080,000

Cost price of painting = $1,660,000

The sales Price formula is given as

= Cost price × (1 +r)³

1080000 = 1660000 × (1+r)³

1,080,000/1,660,000 = (1+r)³

0.65 = (1 + r)³

Annual rate of return r will now be:

= 0.6506^⅓ - 1

= -13.35%

rodikova [14]

Answer:

a) $5, 764,000

b) $1, 959,000

Explanation:

The first part of the question is to determine the taxable income of the company

The taxable income - The company's gross income - The Capital Expenditures - The Depreciation expenses for capital expenditure

= $8,500,000 - $2,280,000 - $456,000

= $5,764,000

Part B) This is to determine the Federal Income Taxes for the year

Looking at the income tax distribution tab, we first check where the company falls into

Since, the company has a taxable income of $5,764,000, it falls in the category of

$335,000 to $10,000,000= $113,900 + 34% of the amount over $335,000

As such, the Federal Income Tax

= $113,900 + ($5,764,000- $335,000) x 34%

= $113,900 + $1, 845,000

= $1, 959,000

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

interest payable   66,000

note payable      384,000

       Land                            325,000

       Gain on disposal         125,000

Explanation:

600,000 x 11% = 66,000 interest payable

the land is being used to settle the note along with the accrued interest at the time:

the accounting  of Transit developments record the land at cost: 325,000

as the market valuye is 450,000 so a gain for 125,000 will be recognize.

450,000 market value - 66,000 interest payable: 384,000 payment on the note principal

the entry will write-off the interest payable, decrease the note by that amount and recognize the land gain on disposal

Time management and world view college success
Stolb23 [73]

Explanation:

As most students discover, college is not the same as high school. For many students, college is the first time they are “on their own” in an environment filled with opportunity. And while this can be exciting, you may find that social opportunities conflict with academic expectations. For example, a free day before an exam, if not wisely spent, can spell trouble for doing well on the exam. It is easy to fall behind when there are so many choices and freedoms.

One of the main goals of a college education is learning how to learn. In this chapter we zoom in on learning how to skillfully manage your time. To be successful in college, it’s imperative to be able to effectively manage your time.

In the following Alleyoop Advice video, Alleyoop (Angel Aquino) discusses what many students discover about college: there is a lot of free time—and just as many challenges to balance free time with study time
