Although appealing to more refined tastes, art as a collectible has not always performed so profitably. During 2003, an auction house sold a sculpture at auction for a price of $10,371,500. Unfortunately for the previous owner, he had purchased it in 1999 at a price of $12,497,500.
What was his annual rate of return on this sculpture? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Annual rate of return %

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-4.25%

Explanation:

purchase price in 1999 = $12,497,500

purchase price in 2003 = $10,371,500

annual rate of return = {[($10,371,500 - $12,497,500) / $12,497,500] / (2003 - 1999)} x 100 = (-0.170114 / 4) x 100 = -4.25%

the annual rate of return refers to how much money you win or loss with an investment during a year. In this case, the investor lost $2,126,000 in 4 years, which resulted in a total loss of 17.01% for the whole period.

DIP LLC reports ordinary income (before guaranteed payments) of $120,000, rent expense of $40,000, and interest income of $4,000 for the year. In addition, DIP paid guaranteed payments to partner Percy of $20,000. If Percy owns a 40% capital and profits interest, how much income will he report for the year and what is its character?

Answers

Answer:

$24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

Explanation:

Calculation for what how much income will Percy report for the year and what is its character

Calculation for Percy Ordinary income: 120,000 - 40,000 - 20,000

= 60,000 x 40%

= 24,000.

Calculation for Percy Interest income:

4,000 x 40%

= 1,600

Guaranteed Payment: 20,000

Therefore what Percy will report will be: $24,000 ordinary income

$1,600 interest income

$20,000 guaranteed payment.

When the price of erasers increases from $1.50 to $2.50, the quantity demanded of pencils is unchanged. The cross-price elasticity of demand between erasers and pencils is

Answers

Answer:

The cross elasticity of demand is zero

Explanation:

Cross elasticity of demand measures the percentage change in the quantity demand of a product occasioned by a change in the price of another but related commodity.

If the the commodities are complements, the cross of elasticity of demand between them would be  negative. his implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a decrease(increase) in the demand of the other.

If the the commodities are substitutes, the cross elasticity  of demand between them would be  positive. This implies an increase(decrease) in the price of one would lead to a increase (decrease) in the quantity demand of the other.

Where the cross elasticity of demand is zero, this implies that the goods are not in any way related. This implies that a change in the price of one would produce no change in the quantity demand of the other.

You want to buy a new sports coupe for $74,500, and the finance office at the dealership has quoted you a loan with an APR of 6.9 percent for 36 months to buy the car.

Required:
a. What will your monthly payments be?
b. What is the effective annual rate on this loan?

Answers

Answer:

a) Monthly payments = $22,969.38

b) Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Explanation:

Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.

The monthly installment is computed as follows:  

Monthly installment= Loan amount/annuity factor

Loan amount; = 74,500

Annuity factor = (1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r

r -monthly rate of interest, n- number of months

r- 6.9%/12 = 0.575 % = 0.00575, n = 36 =

Annuity factor = ( 1- (1+00575)^(-36)/0.00575= 32.434

Monthly installment = Loan amount /annuity factor

=  74,500/32.434= 22,969.38

Required monthly payments = $22,969.38

Effective annual interest rate

Effective rate of return = ((1+r)^n- 1) × 100

where r - monthly interest rate- 6.9%/12 = 0.575%

n- number of months= 12 months

Effective rate of return - (1+00575)^(12) - 1× 100=  7.12%

Effective rate of return= 7.12%

Answers

Answer:

Jacobsen Corporation

Income from continuing operations of $621,000 will be reported.

Explanation:

The income from continuing operations is the same thing as the operating income.  It is the pre-tax income that is reported on Jacobsen Corporation's income statement for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The tax rate of 30% is applied on this figure to obtain the income tax expense for the year.  But, for Jacobsen that has other unusual items, these are taken into consideration before the income tax is imputed to obtain the after-tax income.

On January 1, 20X6, Pumpkin Corporation acquired 70 percent of Spice Company's common stock for $210,000 cash. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest at that date was determined to be $90,000.

Answers

Answer:

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Explanation:

In the consolidated balance sheet, we record the sum of both parent and subsidiary assets. Here pumpkin and spice both have an inventory of $30,000.

Total inventory in consolidated balance = Pimpkin's Inventory + fair value of Spice's inventory

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $30,000 + $30,000

Total inventory in consolidated balance = $60,000

Answers

Answer:

Buhao Construction

a) Debt-to-Equity Ratio if it borrows $220,000

= Debit/Equity

= $220,000/$1,700,000

= 12.94%

b. EPS = $195,800/17,000

= $11.52

c. EPS = $173,800/17,000

= $10.22

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Outstanding Equity = 17,000 shares x $100 = $1,700,000

Interest rate = 11%

It is assumed that Buhao Construction pays no taxes

EBIT = $130,000

Debit = $220,000

Interest Expense = $24,200

Net Income = $195,800 ($220,000 - 24,200)

Debit = $420,000

Interest Expense = $46,200

Net Income = $173,800 ($220,000 - 46,200)

b) Debt-to-Equity Ratio of Buhao Construction is the relationship in ratio terms between debts and equity of the company.  It shows the percentage of debts over the stockholders' equity.

c) EPS or Earnings per share shows the net income of Buhao Construction that can be attributed to each share.  Stockholders use this measure to learn the profits that are generated for each share by the company during the period.  A high EPS indicates that the business is profitable for stockholders.
