Answer:

a. Brad might be allowed to deduct up to $25,000

or Brad may be allowed to deduct the loss if he works more than 750 hours as a material participant in connection with the townhouse complex and more than half of personal service.

b. The reduction is equal to 50% of AGI in excess of $100,000. The deduction will be phased out completely if AGI reaches $25,000

Explanation:

Adjusted Gross Income is the final taxable income after all the allowable deductions are adjusted in the income. A tax payer can deduct up to $25,000 for the passive losses. This is standard deduction which Brad can deduct from the income.

Hercules Workout World gains a client who prepays $ 660 for a package of six physical training sessions. Hercules Workout World
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Service revenue of $ 440

Explanation:

When the customer prepays, the revenue is yet to be earned hence the entries required would be a debit to cash account and a credit to unearned or deferred revenue.

As the service is rendered and revenue is earned, debit the deferred revenue account and credit the revenue account with the amount earned.

Since $660 was collected for 6 training sessions

Revenue from a training session

= 1/6 × $660

= $110

After 4 training sessions, revenue earned and to be recognized in the income statement

= 4 × $110

= $440

Which of the following examples is NOT a trust indorsement?
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a. Rao indorses his payroll check in blank.

Explanation:

There are many types of indorsements, and out of them one is "Trust Indorsement"

Trust Indorsement is an indorsement to a person who can use the funds for the benefit of the indorser.

Example:

Brian indorses a check to his employee Denny  "Payable to Denny, as agent for Brian", This is an example of trust indorsment.

Option b and c are clearly examples of trust indorsements in which you can notice that Rao has indorsed his lawyer and accountant "as agent for Rao".

Whereas, option a is NOT a trust indorsment but rather a "Blank Indorsement"

Blank Indorsment is an indorsement that doesn't have any particular indorsee and only has a signature on it.

What is Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B? Portfolio Average Retur
inn [45]

Answer:

The Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %

Explanation:

<em>Solution</em>

Given that:

Now,

The Jensen’s alpha of a Portfolio is computed by applying  the formula  below:

Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return ) ) ]

For the information given in the question we have the following,

The Risk free rate of return = 3. 1%

In order to find the Jensen’s alpha we have to first get the following from the information given in the question :

1. Portfolio Return

2. Portfolio Beta

3.Market Rate of Return

Thus,

(A)Calculation of Portfolio Return :

The formula for calculation of Portfolio Return is  given as:

E(RP) = ( RA * WA )+ ( RB * WB )

Where

E(RP) = Portfolio Return

RA = Average Return of Portfolio A ; WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A

RB = Average Return of Portfolio B ;  WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B

For the information given in the question we have the following:

RA = 18.9 %, WA = 45 % = 0.45, RB = 13.2 %,  WB = 55 % = 0.55

By applying the values in the formula we have

= ( 18.9 % * 0.45 ) + ( 13.2 % * 0.55 )

= 8.5050 % + 7.2600 % = 15.7650 %

(B). Calculation of Portfolio Beta:

Now,

The formula for calculating the Portfolio Beta is

ΒP = [ ( WA * βA ) + ( WB * βB ) ]

Where,

βP = Portfolio Beta

WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A = 45 % = 0.45 ; βA = Beta of Portfolio A = 1.92

WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B = 55 % = 0.55 ; βB = Beta of Portfolio B = 1.27

By Applying the above vales in the formula we have

= ( 0.45 * 1.92 )   + ( 0.55 * 1.27 )

= 0.8640 + 0.6985

= 1.5625

(C). Calculation of Market rate of return :

Now,

The Market Risk Premium = Market rate of return - Risk free rate

From the Information given in the Question we have

The Market Risk Premium = 6.8 %

Risk free rate = 3. 1 %

Market rate of return = To find

Then

By applying the above information in the Market Risk Premium formula we have

6.8 % = Market rate of Return - 3.1 %

Thus Market rate of return = 6.8 % + 3.1 % = 9.9 %

So,

From the following  information, we gave

Risk free rate of return = 3.1% ; Portfolio Return = 15.7650 %

The Portfolio Beta = 1.5625 ; Market Rate of Return = 9.9 %

Now

Applying the above values in the Jensen’s Alpha formula we have

The Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return )) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * ( 9.9 % - 3.1 % ) ) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * 6.8 % ) ]                  

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + 10.6250 % ]

= 15.7650 % - 13.7250 %

= 2.0400 %

= 2.04 % ( when rounded off to two decimal places )

Therefore, the Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %
