Answer:
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the questions follows:
Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes?
A) Gain of $12,000 taxed at 15% and a loss of $20,000 deductible against ordinary income
B) Net loss of $8,000 that is fully deductible against ordinary income in the current year
C) Net loss of $8,000 that results in no deduction in the current year, but can be carried forward to offset capital gains for the next year
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
The explanation to the answer is therefore presented as follows:
The first step is to compute the net capital gain (loss) is as follows:
Particulars $
Gain from the sale of stock in ABC Corporation 10,000
Gain from the sale of stock in XYZ Corporation 2,000
Loss from the sale of corporate bonds (20,000)
Net capital gain (loss) (8,000)
In the US, individuals are allowed to use up to $3,000 to reduce their taxable income in the first year of the loss, while the remaining capital losses will be carried over to the next years.
From the net capital gain computed above, the correct option is D. That is, the $8,000 loss will be treated for tax purposes as a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income in the current year with the remaining $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year.
14. Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are a. the inflation rate and the consumer price index. b. the inflation rate and the GDP deflator. c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index. d. the cost of living index and nominal GDP
Answer:
c. the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
Explanation:
Two alternative measures of the overall level of prices are the GDP deflator and the consumer price index.
The GDP deflator can be defined as a measure of the changes in prices for all of the finished goods and services produced domestically in an economy in a particular period of time, usually a year. This simply means that, the gross domestic product deflator measures the inflation in an economy.
Consumer price index (CPI) can be defined as a measure of the aggregate or average changes in price level of a weighted market basket of finished goods and services that consumers purchased over a specific period of time. The CPI is also a measure of the inflation in an economy over a specific period of time.
Bio-Lab Pharmaceuticals carried on a project to develop a new drug that dramatically shortened the recovery period for flu infection. The project cost the company $150,000 before Bio-Lab abandoned the project due to the slim possibility to gain FDA approval. Bio-Lab then spent $300,000 on another project developing a kind of shot that achieves the same goal for flu recovery, and the company is confident in gaining FDA approval for the new shot and in making profits out of the shot. What amount would be expensed
Answer:
$450,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the amount that would be expensed
Using this formula
Amount to be expensed = Project cost before the project was abandoned + Amount spent on another project
Let plug in the formula
Amount to be expensed =$150,000+$300,000
Amount to be expensed =$450,000
Therefore the amount that would be expensed will be $450,000

Answer:
Many small business owners decide to set up an LLC for the liability protection it provides. An LLC, or limited liability company, exists separately from its owners (known as members), and the owners are therefore not personally responsible for business debts.Most states don’t allow two different business entities to have the same name. So you can’t, for example, have “Joe’s Donuts, LLC” and “Joe’s Donuts, Inc.,” even if they’re located in different cities. Many states also restrict companies from using certain words in their names, such as “bank.” If the LLC name you’ve selected is available, but you aren’t going to be filing your LLC documents right away, you may want to reserve the name. Nearly every state allows you to reserve a name by filing a form and paying a name reservation fee. The length of the reservation period, filing fees, and renewal policies vary from state to state.Almost every state requires its LLCs to name a registered agent (also sometimes called a statutory agent). A registered agent is a person who agrees to receive lawsuits, subpoenas and other official documents on behalf of the LLC and to pass them along to the appropriate person at the LLC.An LLC operating agreement is the roadmap that describes how your LLC will be run. It specifies such things as the ownership interests and voting rights of the members, how profits and losses will be allocated, how meetings will be held, how the business will be governed, the rights of the members if one of them dies or leaves the business, and the way the company will be dissolved if it goes out of business.Each state has its own form and procedure for establishing an LLC. In general, you must file articles of organization that list.After the LLC’s formation documents are filed and approved, the state will issue a certificate or other document that confirms that your LLC formally exists. Once you’ve received the certificate, you can take care of business matters like obtaining a tax ID number and business licenses and setting up a business bank account. Explanation:If your LLC does business in more than one state, you may need to register to do business in other states. To do this, you’ll need to fill out and submit paperwork that’s similar to the paperwork you filed when you formed your LLC. You’ll also need a registered agent in each state where you are authorized to do business.
hoose the statement that is incorrect. A. The consensus is that the crowding-out effect is strong enough to make the government expenditure multiplier less than 1. B. The government expenditure multiplier is the quantitative effect of a change in government expenditure on real GDP. C. The tax multiplier is the quantitative effect of a change in taxes on real GDP. D. The demand-side effects of a tax cut are likely to be larger than an equivalent increase in government expenditure
Answer: D. The demand-side effects of a tax cut are likely to be larger than an equivalent increase in government expenditure
Explanation:
There is now a consensus amongst economists that an increase in Government spending will have larger demand-side effects than a tax cut. This is because Government spending goes directly into the economy and stimulates growth through the ripple effect that it has that will see money multiplied.
Tax cuts on the other hand are only effective if consumers either consume the tax savings or invest them. While they will do this for most of the savings, there is a high probability that they will save some of them instead of spending them.
Marco was a furniture buyer for Wellart Department Stores. Marco was authorized to enter into contracts worth up to $50,000. Marco entered into a contract with Frank's Furniture to purchase $100,000 worth of dining room furniture. If Wellart refuses to honor the contract and Frank's sues:
Answer:
Frank's will win, as Marco had implied and/or apparent authority.
Explanation:
Frank's will win, as Marco had implied and/or apparent authority.
Express authority is the authority which the principal has expressly given to the agent whether in a written or orally form.
Implied authority ( it can as well be described as usual authority) is the authority of an agent to acts which are reasonably incidental to and necessary for the effective performance of his duties.
So relating the above to the situation at hand, Mark acted based on the authority given to him by Wellart Department Stores. It was an implied authority.
Offshore oil-drilling operations entail an unavoidable risk of an oil spill, but importing oil on tankers presently entails an even greater such risk per barrel of oil. Therefore, if we are to reduce the risk of an oil spill without curtailing our use of oil, we must invest more in offshore operations and import less oil on tankers.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above.
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
B) Oil spills caused by tankers have generally been more serious than those caused by offshore operations.
C) The impact of offshore operations on the environments can be controlled by careful management.
D) Offshore operations usually damage the ocean floor, but tankers rarely cause such damage.
E) Importing oil on tankers is currently less expensive than drilling for it offshores.
Answer:
A) Tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill.
Explanation:
The option that if true most seriously weakens the argument above is: tankers can easily be redesigned so that their use entails less risk of an oil spill because the statement says that importing oil on tankers entails a greater risk of an oil spill than offshore oil-drilling and the option chosen directly talks about that and says that the tankers can easily be redesigned to decrease the risks of an oil spill which goes against the argument given.
The other options are not right because the options B and C support the argument given. Also, options D and E doesn't talk about oil spill which is the topic on the argument presented.
An investor holds a 6% callable bond purchased at 105. If the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be A) equal to the yield to maturity (YTM). B) less than the coupon. C) greater than the yield to maturity (YTM). D) greater the current yield (CY).
Answer: less than the coupon
Explanation:
When a bond that is bought at a premium of 205 is called before the bond matures by the issuer, this implies that the accelerated premium loss will have to be reflected in calculated yield to maturity.
It should also be noted that the YTC is the lowest among the yields for the premium bonds. Therefore, if the issuer calls the bond before maturity, the yield to call (YTC) realized by the investor would be less than the coupon.
Option B is correct.

An insured's disability income policy includes an additional monthly benefit rider. For how many years can the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer before Social Security benefits begin?
Answer:
1 Year
Explanation:
This is because, the additional monthly benefit rider stipulates that the insurer will only pay benefits comparable to what Social Security would pay. Therefore, after a year, the insurer ends the benefit and assumes that Social Security will begin benefit payment.
Hence, the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer for ONE YEAR before Social Security benefits begin.
In March 2012, the state of California started requiring that all packaging for food and drink with the additive 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) be clearly labeled with a cancer warning. Because of this, both Pepsi and Coke changed their formula to eliminate 4-MI as an ingredient. If Pepsi and Coke did NOT change their formula, holding all else constant, what would have happened to the demand for these goods, assuming Pepsi and Coke were in a competitive market
Answer:
The demand curve for Pepsi and Coke would have shifted to the left, causing the price of both products to decrease and the profits for both companies to fall.
Explanation:
As in the question it is mentioned that the if the Pepsi and Coke do not change the formula and all other things being constant so the demand for the goods in case of the competitive market is that the demand curve is shifted to the left which results in a decrease in the price of both goods also due to price falls the profits for both companies dropped.
