Answer:a)$195,500 b) $10,735 c)$6,900

Explanation

a)adjusted basis of Kevin’s Bluebird stock on December 31, 2020?

1,000 shares was bought for $115,000

Therefore it was bought at  $115 per share

Also

750 shares was bought at  $80,500 and therefore bought at 107.33 per share

So in total of 1750 shares, He  spent $195,500    ($115,000+ $80,500)

b.On December 12, 2020,he bought  shares at 107.33 per share  

500 shares would be  500 x $107.33=$53, 665    

Therefore,   Kevin’s recognized gain or loss from the’ sale of Bluebird stock on March 1, 2021 would be

$64,400- $53, 665 = $10,735

c.Assuming he cannot identify the shares sold, then we can say they are sold on a FIFO ( first in first out) basis. So we would consider the shares bought on October 3, 2020

so we have that

500 x $115=$57,500

$64,400 - $57,500 = $6,900

Talja [164]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": influencer, gatekeeper, and decider.

Explanation:

As Mark's business is family-owned, it implies all the decisions are not made only by him. Then, in purchasing a food concession trailers he will have to let the other members of the family know about this decision.

Mark already decided Century Industries is the best option to take for the trailers but needs to influence his point of view to his family members. In other words, Mark will be the gatekeeper between his family business and Century Industries.

Statement: "Whenever a company’s activities reduce the quality of life for nearby homeowners, the company should be legally requ
olganol [36]

Answer:

2) assumption not made

Explanation:

The original statement does not include any assumption about what the companies are doing about this issue, it just proposes an idea of fair compensation.

maybe whoever wrote this statement believes that very few companies or none at all actually compensate homeowners for a reduction in the market value of their properties, but it doesn't state it. It is also possible that the statement assumes that companies are paying some compensations or were paying some compensations but are not willing to continue to do it since no legislation forces them to do so. The author's position is vague and not clear with respect to what the companies are currently doing.

Moerdyk Corporation’s bonds have a 15-year maturity, a 7.25% semiannual coupon, and a par value of $1,000. The going interest ra
azamat

Answer:

The price of the bonds is $ 1,276.

Explanation:

The value of bond or issue price can be calculated by discounting all future cash flow using effective rate of retun. Detail calculations are given below.

Future Value = Redemption present value (RPV) + Present value of interest   (PVI)

RPV = 1,000 (1+5%)^-15 = $ 481 -A

PVI = 36.25 * Annuity factor  =$ 759 -B

Future Value = A + B = $ 1,276  

Annuity factor = (1- (1+i%)^-n)/i% = (1- (1+5%/2)^-30)/(5%/2) = 20.9303

ST Trucking just signed a $3.8 million contract. The contract calls for a payment of $1.1 million today, $1.3 million one year f
Doss [256]

Answer:

The worth of the contract today = $3,480,817.37

Explanation:

To determine the worth of the contract today,

We will work out the present value of each of the expected future cash cash payment at a discount rate rate of 8.7% and sum them.

The present valus of the payments indicate how much they worth today if the ST Trucking can invest at a rate of 8.7% per annum

This is done as follows:

PV = 1,100,00× (1.087)^(-0)  + (1,300,000 × (1.087)^(-1) + (1400000 ×(1.087)^(-2)

PV = 1,100,000 +  1,195,952.2 +  1,184,865.2

    =  $3,480,817.37

The worth of the contract today = $3,480,817.37
