Answer: D. Todd should include the $500 in 2015 gross income in accordance with the tax benefit rule.
Explanation:
It should be noted that due to the fact that Todd is a cash basis taxpayer, he'll be able to deduct the one-year prepayment for insurance in the year that it was paid, 2014.
In this case, he deducted $1,200, then his net cost will be ($1200 - $500) = $700. In this case, Todd should then include the $500 refund in gross income for 2015 under the tax benefit rule.
Answer:
coefficient = 0
Explanation:
We have the formula to calculate the price elasticity of demand as following:
<em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>
As given:
+) The percentage change in price is: (120-150)/150= - 20%
+) The quantity bought remains unchanged - which means the percentage change in quantity demanded is 0%
=> <em>Elasticity coefficient = % Change in quantity/ % Change in price</em>
<em>= 0/-20 = 0</em>
<em />
<em>So the coefficient of price elasticity of demand in this example would be 0</em>
Answer:
Option D is the correct option
Explanation:
To find the optimal fund to combine with risk free rate of return, we will use Coefficient of variation,
Coefficient of variation(CoV) = Standard Deviation/Expected Return
CoV of Buckeye = 14%/20% = 0.7
CoV of Wolverine = 11%/12% = 0.9167
So, higher the CoV higher the risk, we will take Buckeye to combine with Risk Free Return.
Hence, Option A
- Required target return of portfolio = 22%
Risk Free return = 8%
Buckeye Return = 20%
Let the weight of Buckeye be X ,& weight of risk free be (1-X)
Required return = (WRF)*(RRF) + (WB)*(RB)
22 = (1-X)(8) + (X)(20)
22 = 8-8X + 20X
14 = 12X
X = 1.17
SO, weight of Buckeye is 1.17 or 117%
while weight of Risk free is -0.17 (1-1.17) or -17%
Hence, ans is OPTION D
Answer:
Options 1 - 4 are True but 5 is FALSE
Explanation:
All options given are indicators of economic growth and strong economic performance
When considering the economic prospects of a country, it can be said that: 1. the advantages of building brand loyalty and gaining experience in a country's business practices is greater for a last-mover than for a first-mover <em>because the last-mover has the chance to learn from the mistakes of the first-mover and perfect on them</em>
2. countries which do not have property rights protection tend to achieve greater economic growth rates because<em> </em><em><u>prosperity and property rights are inextricably linked</u></em><em>. The importance of having well-defined and strongly protected property rights is now widely recognized among economists and policymakers</em>
3. the economic system and property rights regime are reasonably good predictors of economic prospects of a country because <em>widely accepted explanation is that </em><u><em>well-enforced property rights provide incentives for individuals to participate in economic activities, such as investment</em></u><em>, innovation and trade, which lead to a more efficient market.</em>
4. countries where property rights are not well respected and where corruption is rampant always have very low levels of economic growth because as stated in 3 above <u><em>ill-enforced property rights does not provide incentives for individuals to participate in economic activities, such as investment</em></u><em>, innovation and trade, which lead to a more efficient market.</em>
5.countries with command economies tend to achieve greater economic growth rates than free market economies.
<em>This is FALSE because one of the Command economy disadvantages include lack of competition and lack of efficiency.
