Sol purchased land as an investment on February 12, 2018 for $85,000. On January 31, 2019, Sol sold the land for $90,000 cash. What is the nature of the gain or loss?
Answer:
c)Short term capital gain.
Explanation:
Since in the question it is mentioned that the land is purchased by Sol as on Feb 12,2018 for $85,000 and the land was sold by Sol as on Jan 31, 2019 for $90,000 in cash
So as we can see the difference in the purchase date and sale date would be less than one year and the transactions related to the capital assets would be termed as capital gain
Since it is less than one year so it is a short term capital gain
Hence, the correct option is c.
Ivanhoe Corporation has fixed costs of $518,400. It has a unit selling price of $8, unit variable cost of $6.40, and a target net income of $1,620,000. Compute the required sales in units to achieve its target net income.
Answer:
1,336,500 units
Explanation:
Selling price per unit $8
Less variable cost $6.40
Contribution per unit $1.60
Fixed cost $518,400
Target net income $ 1,620,000
Total amount required $2,138,400
Sales unit required = total amount required / Contribution per unit
= $2,138,400 / $1.60
= 1,336,500 units
What benefit does a corporation have that a partnership and a sole
proprietorship do not?
A. An unlimited life span
B. A single owner
C. The ease of starting the business
D. Fewer rules and regulations
Answer:
A. An unlimited life span
Explanation:
Corporations, unlike partnerships and sole proprietorships, are fully separate legal entities from their owners, meaning that if the owners pass away or sell their shares in the corporation, the corporation can still continue to exist.
In fact, there are corporations that are over 100 years old, a lifespan that clearly very few humans surpass, let alone when taking into account the amount of years that usually takes a person to start a corporation.
2. _____ had the most volatile actual annual returns during 1926-2016. Small-company stocks Long-term corporate bonds Intermediate-term government bonds Large-company stocks U.S. Treasury bills
Answer: Small-company stocks
Explanation:
Small company stock returns are more volatile than the other options lifted and so had the most volatile actual annual returns during 1926-2016. This is because small companies are more prone to adverse market conditions than large-company stocks.
Long-term corporate bonds are more stable than stock in general and Government bonds as well as U.S. T-bills are usually the most stable of all the options.

The options are:
maintaining a balance between text and visuals
identifying the visuals with titles, captions, and legends
referring to visuals in the text
putting the visuals into a separate section, such as an appendix

putting the visuals into a separate section, such as an appendix
Explanation:
In business documents making use of visuals is a great way to pass accross information.
When the visuals are integrated with text that further explains the concept being communicated it is easier to understand by the reader.
All the options given make use of various methods of integrated visuals and text except the following:
Putting the visuals into a separate section, such as an appendix.
When visuals are put in a seperate section away from other text it does not immediately give the reader an impression not what is being communicated. It does not effectively integrate text and visuals.

Assume that a company’s beginning-of-period price is $10 per common share, its dividends are $0.55 per share, and its end-of-period price is $10.50 per common share. What is the company’s expected cost of equity capital?
Answer: 10.5%
Explanation:
The expected cost of equity capital is calculated by the formula;
= (Ending value of common share - Beginning value + Dividends) / Beginning value
= (10.50 - 10 + 0.55) / 10
= 10.5%
On January 2 Fred paid $18,000 for 900 shares of common stock of Acme Company. Fred received a $0.80 per share dividend on the stock at the end of each year for four years. At the end of four years, he sold the stock for $22,500. Fred has a goal of earning a minimum return of 12% on all of his investments.
Required:
a. Determine the net present value.
b. Did Mr. Critchfield earn a 12% return on the stock?
Answer:
a) initial outlay = -$18,000
cash flow 1= $0.80 x 900 = $720
cash flow 2= $0.80 x 900 = $720
cash flow 3= $0.80 x 900 = $720
cash flow 4= $720 + $22,500 = $23,220
NPV = -$18,000 + $720/1.12 + $720/1.12² + $720/1.12³ + $23,220/1.12⁴ = -$1,513.95
b) no, he actually earned 9.43% (IRR) on the stock. If Fred had earned 12% or more, then the NPV would be positive.
Oil Well Supply offers 6.8 percent coupon bonds with semiannual payments and a yield to maturity of 7.68 percent. The bonds mature in 6 years. What is the market price per bond if the face value is $1,000?
Answer:
Bond Price= $958.32
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000
Cupon= (0.068/2)*1,000= $34
Number of periods= 6/2= 12 semesters
YTM= 0.0768/2= 0.0384
To calculate the price of the bond, we need to use the following formula:
Bond Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Bond Price= 34*{[1 - (1.0384^-12)] / 0.0384} + [1,000/(1.0384^12)]
Bond Price= 322.08 + 636.24
Bond Price= $958.32

If taxes rise, then aggregate demand shifts:____________ a. left, making unemployment higher than otherwise. b. left, making unemployment lower than otherwise. c. right, making unemployment higher than otherwise. d. right, making unemployment lower than otherwise.
Answer:
a. left, making unemployment higher than otherwise
Explanation:
An increase in taxes is a contractionary form of fiscal policy. When taxes are increased, there is usually a decrease in aggregate demand because more taxes will cause a reduction in income which is goes further to cause a reduction in consumption. A rise in taxes will make businesses to lay off workers because there would be less money to pay all workers which makes the unemployment to be higher, thereby shifting aggregate demand inwards that is left of the aggregate demand curve.
How long will it take $20,000 to grow to $24,000 if the investment earns interest at the rate of 6%/year compounded monthly
Answer:
It will take 37 months to reach the $24,000 objective.
Explanation:
i= 0.06/12= 0.005
To determine the time required for $20,000 to reach $24,000 at a rate of 0.05%, we need to use the following formula:
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(24,000/20,000) / ln(1.005)
n= 36.55 = 37
It will take 37 months to reach the $24,000 objective.

A family starts an education fund for their son Patrick when he is 8 years old, investing $500 on his eighth birthday, and increasing the yearly investment by $500 per year until Patrick is 21 years old. The fund pays 6% annual interest. What is the fund’s future worth after the deposit when Patrick is 21?
Answer:
The fund’s future worth after the deposit when Patrick is 21 is $8,713,691.01.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the for formula for calculating the future value of a growing annuity as follows:
FW = C * (((1 + r)^n - (1 + g)^n) / (r - g))
Where;
FW = future worth or future value = ?
C = first deposit = $500
r = annual interest rate = 6%, or 0.06
g = growth rate of investment = Yearly investment increase / First deposit = $500 / $500 = 1
n = number of years = 21 - 8 + 1 = 14
Substituting all the values into equation (1), we have:
FW = $500 * (((1 + 0.06)^14 - (1 + 1)^14) / (0.06 - 1))
FW = $500 * ((1.06^14 - 2^14) / - 0.94)
FW = $500 * (2.26090395575443 - 16,384) / -0.94)
FW = $500 * (-16,381.7390960442 / -0.94)
FW = $500 * 17,427.3820170683
FW = $8,713,691.00853415
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
FW = $8,713,691.01
Therefore, the fund’s future worth after the deposit when Patrick is 21 is $8,713,691.01.

You have assigned the following values to these three firms: Price Upcoming Dividend Growth BetaEstee Lauder $50.00 $1.70 16.50% 0.74Kimco Realty 82.00 1.68 11.00 1.51Nordstrom 10.00 0.60 13.00 1.02Assume that the market portfolio will earn 10.00 percent and the risk-free rate is 4.00 percent. Compute the required return for each company using both CAPM and the constant-growth model. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places and do not include a % symbol.)CAPM Constant-Growth Model
Estee Lauder required return ____.__% ____.__%
Kimco Realty required return ____.__% ____.__%
Nordstrom required return ____.__% ____.__%
Answer and Explanation:
The formula to compute the required rate of return using the CAPM and constant growth model is as follows
Under CAPM
The Required rate of return = Risk-free rate of return + Beta × (Market rate of return - risk-free rate of return)
Constant growth model = Dividend ÷ Price + Growth rate
For Estee lauder,
Under CAPM = 4% + 0.74 × (10% - 4%)
= 4% + 0.74 × 6%
= 4% + 4.44%
= 8.44%
Under the Constant growth model
= $1.70 ÷ $50 + 16.50%
= 19.90%
For Kimco realty,
Under CAPM = 4% + 1.51 × (10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.51 × 6%
= 4% + 9.06%
= 13.06%
Under the Constant growth model
= $1.68 ÷ $82 + 11%
= 13.05%
For Estee lauder,
Under CAPM = 4% + 1.02× (10% - 4%)
= 4% + 1.02 × 6%
= 4% + 6.12%
= 10.12%
Under the Constant growth model
= $0.60 ÷ $10 + 13%
= 19.00%
Jefferson's recently paid an annual dividend of $1.31 per share. The dividend is expected to decrease by 4% each year. How much should you pay for this stock today if your required return is 16%? A 5.5 percent coupon bond ( coupon rate=5.5%) has a face value of 1,000 and a current yield of 5.64 percent. What is the current market price?
Answer:
a. The price that should be paid for Jefferson's stock today is $6.29.
b. The current market price is $975.18.
Explanation:
a. Calculation of the price to pay for the Jefferson's stock today
This can be calculated using the following formula:
P = D / (r - g) ............................ (1)
Where;
P = Price per share today = ?
D = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Dividend growth rate) = $1.31 * (1 + (-0.04)) = $1.31 * (1 - 0.04) = $1.31 * 0.96 = 1.2576
r = Required return = 16%, or 0.16
g = Dividend growth rate = -4%, or -0.04
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = 1.2576 / (0.16 - (-0.04))
P = 1.2576 / (0.16 + 0.04)
P = 1.2576 / 0.20
P = 6.29
Therefore, the price that should be paid for Jefferson's stock today is $6.29.
a. Calculation of the current market price
This can be calculated using the following formula:
Current market price = (Coupon rate * Face value) / Current yield ............ (2)
Where;
Coupon rate = 5.5%
Face value = $1,000
Current yield = 5.64%
Substituting the values into equation (2), we have:
Current market price = (5.5% * $1,000) / 5.64%
Current market price = $55 / 5.64%
Current market price = $975.18
Therefore, the current market price is $975.18.
You purchased a share of a German firm's stock. The company did not pay out any dividends and the price of the stock rose by 15% over the year. In addition, the value of the Euro was $1.00 per Euro at the outset and it rose by 10% over the year. What was your total percentage rate of return in dollars for this investment
Answer:
16.67%
Explanation:
Holding period return = [(actual value - purchase cost) + dividends received] / purchase cost.
First we can calculate the HPR in euros = [(1.15€ - 1€) + 0€] / 1€ = 0.15 = 15%
We now need to convert our earnings to US dollars. We will gain an additional 10% due to the currency appreciation of the euro:
total percentage rate of return = 15% / (1 - 10%) = 15% / 0.90 = 16.67%
A bank charges a commercial borrower a 6.55 percent interest rate on a one-year loan. The bank also charges a 0.5 percent origination fee and requires compensating balances of 7 percent in the form of demand deposits. Reserve requirements are 10 percent. What is the promised gross rate of return on the loan?
Answer:
the promised gross rate of return on the loan is 7.52%
Explanation:
The computation of the promised gross rate of return is shown below:
= (Rate of interest + Origination fees) ÷ [1 - (Demand deposit x (1 - Reserve requirement)]
= (6.55% + 0.5%) ÷ [1 - (7% × (1 - 10%)]
= (0.0655 + 0.005) ÷ [1 - (0.07 × (1 - 0.10)]
= 0.0705 ÷ (1 - 0.063)
= 0.0705 ÷ 0.937
= 0.07524 or 7.52%
Hence, the promised gross rate of return on the loan is 7.52%

Snickers decides it wants to develop a broader customer base for its brand. It introduces the Snickers ice cream bar in the summertime to rave reviews. What brand strategy did Snickers employ with the new product rollout
Answer: brand extension
Explanation:
Brand extension is when a company with an already established brand uses this brand to launch new products or go into other product categories. The logic here is that with people trusting the brand, they will be more likely to give the new product a try.
This is what Snickers relied on. They are an established brand in candy, when they introduced another product under the Snickers name, people bought it and gave it rave reviews because they trusted Snickers already.
