Valentin [98]

Answer: Under FINRA rules, this is an example of<em><u> non-cash compensation and is prohibited.</u></em>

FINRA forbids enrolled individuals from accepting a acquisition in the sum of more than $100, and also forbids representatives from accepting "non-cash compensation".

The mutual fund sponsor is not the employer of the registered representative - the representative is an employee of the broker-dealer who is in the mutual fund selling group. The benefactor is not permitted to hold such contest - only the employing organizations can hold such contest, provided that it cannot favor the sale of one fund over another. This is an example of "non-cash compensation" under FINRA rules and is prohibited.

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

C. liquidate the IRA without penalty since Jack is past age 59 1/2, and use the proceeds to buy corporate income bonds

Answer:

B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Explanation:

Given that, the customer has a "moderate" risk tolerance level and dividend income is at the moment taxed at the preferential rate of 15%, therefore, it is expected that investments in high yielding common and preferred stocks will meet the customer's objective of tax-advantaged income.

Hence, the right answer is Option B. set a minimum and maximum threshold price to liquidate as much of the Dyno-Mite stock as the customer will permit, and invest the proceeds in high yielding common and preferred stocks

Acme Enterprises just bought a new manufacturing machine. Which of these costs should be capitalized? (Check all that apply.)

ankoles [38]

Answer:

Option D, E and F. See below for information.

Explanation:

Costs are capitalized when they form a principal part of the asset. These costs may include any costs that are needed to make the asset operational and any costs that are incurred to bring the asset to operating premises.

As such the $15,000 freight bill that brings the asset in premises, the invoice price of $500,000 which comprises the cost of the capital asset and the one time cost of $8,000 to tear down the wall and install the asset are all capital costs and are to be capitalized in the final cost of the asset to be recorded.

All other are annual expenses are not to be capitalized (Option a, b and c)

Hope that helps.

Blanton Company wishes to allocate rent expense of $24,000 to its three operating departments, A, B, and C. Assuming the three d

wariber [46]

Answer:

given statement is false

Explanation:

given data

rent expense = $24,000

operating departments, A = 10,000 square feet

operating departments, B = 20,000 square feet

operating departments, C = 30,000 square feet

cost allocation rate = $0.80 per square foot

solution

rent expense will be here as

rent expense = $\frac{24000}{60000}$

rent expense = $0.40 per square foot

and

rent expense allocated to department C is = 30000 × $0.40

rent expense allocated to department C = $12000

so given statement is false

Consider a firm with a contract to sell an asset for $138,000 five years from now. the asset costs $74,000 to produce today. giv

shepuryov [24]

The cost to produce today = 74000

At a discount of 12%, the future value of costs in 5 years = PV*(1+r)^n where PV = 74000, r= 12% = 0.12 and n = 5 years = 5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*(1+0.12)^5

The value of costs in 5 years = 74000*1.12^5

The value of costs in 5 years 130,413.28

Price in 5 years = 138,000

Profit = 138,000-130,413.28 = 7,586.72

The profit the firm will make on this asset (considering time value of money) = $7,586.72
