<u>D. Happenstance.</u>
Explanation:
The fact that German firms were nationalized has often been regarded as mere happenstance; meaning it just occurred based on the circumstances they were in immediately after World War II.
It thus encompasses several factors such as the cost of operations, changes in government, etc, not just one factor.
Answer:
$360,000
Explanation:
Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.
An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.
The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.
Answer:
Puffin’s E & P after taking into account the distribution of the car is $6,000.
Explanation:
E & P will be decreased by the higher of the adjusted basis or the fair market value of the distributed property, net of any liabilities. The distribution losses will not be taken into consideration when determining E & P. Thus the current E & P of Puffin’s $30,000 is reduced by $24,000 ($30,000 basis of the car minus the liability amount). The remaining after the distribution current E & P will be $6,000.
Therefore, Puffin’s E & P after taking into account the distribution of the car is $6,000.
Answer:
Investment in stock C is $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33
Explanation:
A portfolio which is equally as risky as market should have a beta equal to the beta of the market as beta is a measure of the riskiness. The beta of market is always equal to 1. The formula for beta of a portfolio is as follows:
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta A + wB * Beta B + ... + wN * Beta N
Where w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio.
Let investment in stock C be x
1 = 146000/500000 * 0.91 + 134000/500000 * 1.36 + x/500000 * 1.51
1 = 0.26572 + 0.36448 + 1.51x / 500000
1 - 0.6302 = 1.51x / 500000
0.3698 * 500000 = 1.51x
1844900 / 1.51 = x
x = $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33
