= $1,000
Long Term Capital gain is therefore $1,000.
Anya owns land with an adjusted basis of $305,000, subject to a mortgage of $175,000. Anya sells her land subject to the mortgage for $325,000 in cash, and a note for $300,000. What is Anya's amount realized on this sale
Answer: $800,000
Explanation:
Alice's realized amount from the sale is a sum of all the amounts that the seller gets it for as well as any mortgages assumed.
Alice therefore realized:
= Mortgage assumed by seller + Cash + Note
= 175,000 + 325,000 + 300,000
= $800,000

Answer:
Bart Inc.
The initial value of the machine is:
= $114,240.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Date of purchase of machine from Fell Corp. = December 31, 2016
Annual payments for a non-interest-bearing note = $20,000
Appropriate present value of the annuity due = 5.712
PV of the annual payments for 8 years = $114,240 ($20,000 * 5.712)
First payment date = December 31, 2016
Period of payments = 8 years
Prevailing interest rate for this type of note = 11%
Check from an online financial calculator:
N (# of periods) 8
I/Y (Interest per year) 11
PMT (Periodic Payment) 20000
FV (Future Value) 0
Results
PV = $114,243.93
Sum of all periodic payments = $160,000.00
Total Interest = $45,756.07

Agreement and disagreement among economists
Suppose that Raphael, an economist from an AM talk radio program, and Susan, an economist from a nonprofit organization on the West Coast, are arguing over saving incentives. The following dialogue shows an excerpt from their debate:
Yvette: I think it's safe to say that, in general, the savings rate of households in today's economy is much lower than it really needs to be to sustain the improvement of living standards.
Sean: I think a switch from the income tax to a consumption tax would bring growth in living standards.
Yvette: You really think households would change their saving behavior enough in response to this to make a difference? Because I don't.
1. The disagreement between these economists is most likely due to (differences in values, differences in perception versus reality, differences in scientific judgments) .
2. Despite their differences, with which proposition are two economists chosen at random most likely to agree?
A. Lawyers make up an excessive percentage of elected officials.
B. Minimum wage laws do more to harm low-skilled workers than help them.
C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Answer:
Differences in values C. Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.Explanation:
Yvette and Sean most likely have a difference in values because they believe that one thing is better for the economy than the other. This means that when it comes down to the economy, they value a certain approach over other approaches.
Economist don't usually find common ground on many things but there are some things where they have a general consensus and one of them is that tariffs and import quotas are bad for the economy. They believe that people stand more to gain from free trade than restricted trade.
K Company estimates that overhead costs...
K Company estimates that overhead costs for the next year will be $3,700,000 for indirect labor and $890,000 for factory utilities. The company uses direct labor hours as its overhead allocation base. Of 125,000 direct labor hours are planned for this next year, what is the company's plantwide overhead rate?
a. $0.03 per direct labor hour
b. $36.72 per direct labor hour.
c. $2960 per direct labor hour
d. $712 per direct labor hour
e. $0.14 per direct labor hour
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $36.72 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (3,700,000 + 890,000) / 125,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 4,590,000 / 125,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $36.72 per direct labor hour
Miscavage Corporation has two divisions: the Beta Division and the Alpha Division. The Beta Division has sales of $325,000, variable expenses of $159,600, and traceable fixed expenses of $72,800. The Alpha Division has sales of $635,000, variable expenses of $345,800, and traceable fixed expenses of $135,900. The total amount of common fixed expenses not traceable to the individual divisions is $138,200. What is the company's net operating income?
Answer:
Net operating income= $107,700
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beta Division:
Sales= $325,000
Variable expense= $159,600
Traceable fixed expense= $72,800
Alpha Division:
Sales= $635,000
Variable expense= $345,800
Traceable fixed expense= $135,900
We need to calculate the net operating income:
Beta division partial income= 325,000 - 159,600 - 72,800= 92,600
Alpha division partial income= 635,000 - 345,800 - 135,900= 153,300
Common fixed expense= (138,200)
Net operating income= $107,700

Market efficiency is probably the most controversial concept in finance. Even recent winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics come down on opposite sides of the issue. Nonetheless, it is important for you to grapple with this idea. It has very important practical implications for investment decisions, including (especially) for your personal investment decision. In particular, should you pursue active or passive strategies
Answer:
Active strategies should be pursued when the market is more volatile, with larger fluctuations over a shorter period of time, that require a more active management of a portfolio, in order to take advantage of fast changing positions in different assets, and also in order to avoid possible losses due to staying in particular positions for too long.
Passive strategies is more long-term focused, and should be pursued when the economy is more stable. Passive strategies should be analyzed carefully before execution because once the passive investment is made, the idea is to keep the position for a long period of time instead of buying and selling constantly as in a active strategy.
Assume the expected return on the market is 6 percent and the risk-free rate is 4 percent. What is the expected return for a stock with a beta equal to 2.00
Answer: 8%
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The formula of which is:
Expected return of stock = Risk free rate + Beta * (Expected return on market - Risk-free rate)
= 4% + 2 * (6% - 4%)
= 4% + 4%
= 8%
Suppose your client wishes to purchase an annuity that pays $50,000 each year for 5 years, with the first payment 4 years from now. At an interest rate of 10%, how much would the client need to invest now
Answer:
The amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculate the present value (PV) of the amount invested 4 years from now
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV4 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = ?
P = Annual payment = $50,000
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years the annual payment will be received = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV4 = $50,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10)
PV4 = $189,539.34
Step 2: Calculate the amount the client would need to invest now
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = PV4 / (1 + r)^n …………………………. (2)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount the client would need to invest now = ?
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = $189,539.34
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years of PV4 from now = 4
Substituting the relevant values into equation one, we have:
PV = $189,539.34 / (1 + 0.01)^4
PV = $182,143.58
Therefore, the amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.

Joe is currently selling 873 hamburgers per month at $5 per hamburger for total monthly sales of $4,365. The restaurant manager feels that a $1,000 monthly advertising budget would increase monthly sales by $3,000 to a total of 1,473 hamburgers. Should Joe add advertising
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Yes, as long as Joe is able to recover the money that he has spent on advertising and still increase his profit, then he should advertise. In this scenario, he wants to spend a fixed $1000 monthly on ads. If these ads generate an increase monthly sales of $3,000 as expected, then this means that Joe's restaurant will increase their total profits by $2,000 after recovering what they spent on the ads.

Costget 109.33 Times
Average collection period
Walco 2.52 Days
Tarmart 41.01 Days
Costget 3.34 Days
2. Walco
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine the receivables turnover ratio and the average collection period for WalCo, TarMart and CostGet
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE TURNOVER
Using this formula
Accounts Receivable Turnover=Net Sales/Average Accounts receivable
Walco=$ 303,427/($ 1,625+2,572)/2
Walco=$ 303,427/$2,098.5
Walco =144.59 Times
Tarmart= 48,878/(5,216 + 5744)/2
Tarmart= 48,878/5480
Tarmart= 8.9 Times
Costget= 49,963/(439 + 475)/2
Costget= 49,963/457
Costget= 109.33 Times
Therefore the receivables turnover ratio is :
Walco 144.59 Times
Tarmart 8.9 Times
Costget 109.33 Times
AVERAGE COLLECTION PERIOD
Using this formula
Average collection period=Average Collection Period
365 /Receivables turnover ratio
Let plug in the formula
Walco= 365.00/144.59 Walco=2.52 Days
Tarmart= 365.00/8.9
Tarmart= 41.01 Days
Costget= 365.00/109.33
Costget=3.34 Days

On November 1, Alan Company signed a 120-day, 12% note payable, with a face value of $10,800. What is the maturity value of the note on March 1? (Use 360 days a year.)
a) $11,016
b) $10,800
c) $11,088
d) $11,232
e) $10,944
Answer: $11232
Explanation:
The maturity value of the note on March 1 will be calculated as thus:
Face value = $10800
Interest on note = $10800 × 12% × 120/360 = $432
Maturity value will now be:
= Face value + Interest on note
= $10800 + $432
= $11232
The following data for a production department relate to two accounting periods:
Activity(machine-hours)....... 17,000 18,500
Department costs................... $246,500 $251,750
The best estimate of fixed department cost is closest to:________.
Answer:
Fixed costs= $187,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Activity(machine-hours): 17,000 18,500
Department costs: $246,500 $251,750
To calculate the fixed and variable cost, we need to use the high-low method:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (251,750 - 246,500) / (18,500 - 17,000)
Variable cost per unit= $3.5
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 251,750 - (3.5*18,500)
Fixed costs= $187,000
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 246,500 - (3.5*17,000)
Fixed costs= $187,000

Most newly industrialized countries (NICs) have moved away from restrictive trade practices and instituted significant free market reforms. As a result, these countries have
Answer:
attracted both trade and foreign direct investment.
Explanation:
The free market reforms that took place in the newly industrialized countries (NICs) as in some Asian and Latin American countries, provided the attraction of foreign direct investment and increased trade.
This was due to the fact that lesser trade restrictions and free market reforms were significant incentives for foreign countries to seek investment opportunities in a country that could offer significant advantages, such as tax incentives, cheaper labor and conquering new markets. It also stimulated commercial activity by local and foreign investors, who saw new opportunities to implement activities locally that would bring competitive and economic advantage.
Acme Company is considering investing in a new machine that costs $126,594 and that has a useful life of 12 years with no salvage value. The machine will generate $19,500 annually in net cash inflows. The internal rate of return on the investment is: (Round your intermediate calculations to 3-decimals and your internal rate of return calculations to the nearest whole percent.)
Answer: 11%
Explanation:
The internal rate of return is the rate that will equate the cash inflows with the cost of investment.
It is therefore the discount rate used to find the present value of an annuity because the inflows are stable and are therefore annuities.
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value factor of annuity, 12 years, %?
126,594 = 19,500 * Present value of annuity factor
Present value of annuity factor = 126,594 / 19,500
= 6.492
Go to a present value of annuity factor table and find the interest rate that intersects with 12 years to give a factor of 6.492:
Rate is 11%
