Answer:

A. The more time the investor has, the more risk they can take because there is time to weather the declines in a stock and wait for it to regain some of its value before selling.

Explanation:

This is basically the reason why younger investors can afford higher risks than older investors. If you are 60 years old, you will probably invest in very secure stocks or bonds. Instead, when you are 25, you can afford investing in risky stocks that have higher than average growth potential.

Brody and tanya recently sold some land they owned for $200,000. they received the land five years ago as a wedding gift from br

Andrej [43]

When calculating the long term capital gain on the sale of the property, it is important to make sure adjustments are made from the original date of purchase and when the land was gifted.

To solve:
Adjusted amount = Original purchase amount + (gift tax X difference in what the land was worth/original land worth amount)
Adjusted amount = $20,000 + ($40,000 X $80,000/$100,000)
Adjusted amount = $52,000

Land owned for $200,000
Adjust amount is $52,000

$200,000 - $52,000 = $148,000

The long-term capital gain on the property is $148,000.

(True) or (False)? The total amount of depreciation accumulated for an asset over its entire life will differ depending on the m

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Let us illustrate this using the below hypothetical case:

Asset acquired-motor vehicle

useful life is 3 years

salvage value $20,000

cost of the asset=$100,000

depreciation methods:

straight-line method

double-declining balance method

depreciation under straight-line method=(cost-salvage value)/useful life

depreciation under straight-line method=($100,000-$20,000)/3=$26,666.67

accumulated depreciation for 3 years=$26,666.67 *3=$80,000

double declining balance method:

double-declining rate=100%/useful life *2=100%/3*2=67%

2 means double

year 1 depreciation=$100,000*67%=$67,000

year 2 depreciation=($100,000-$67000)*67%=$22,110

year 3 depreciation=($100,000-$67000-$22110)*67%=$7,296

accumulated depreciation for 3 years=$67,000+$22,110+$7,296=$96,406

$80,000 not equal to $96,406

First City Bank pays 9 percent simple interest on its savings account balances, whereas Second City Bank pays 9 percent interest

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Future value is $14,944.22

Interest earned is $7444.22

Explanation:

The amount to earn from Second City Bank is the interest that would have been received at the end of the eight years,

In order to determine the amount of interest,it would be nice to first of all compute the future value-the worth of the savings at the end of eight year using the below formula:

FV=PV*(1+r)^N

PV is the $7,500 invested

r is the compound rate of return is 9%

N is the number of years the amount was invested which is eight years

FV=$7,500*(1+9%)^8

FV=$ 14,944.22

Hence Interest =FV-PV

=$ 14,944.22 -$7,500

=$7444.22

On November 1, 2016, Cullumber Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $78500 with an estimated 10-yea

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$7,000

Explanation:

Depreciation: The depreciation is an expense that shows a reduction in the value of the fixed assets due to tear and wear, obsolesce, usage, time period, etc. It is shown on the debit side of the income statement. It is a non-cash item that does not affect the cash balance.

The computation of the depreciation expense for 2017 is shown below:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($78,500 - $8,500) ÷ (10 years)

= ($70,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $7,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
