Answer: The correct answers are "A. Accept" and "$ 0.01".

Explanation: Given that we talk about optimal strategy when maximizing the expected profit by the player:

In the first case It is convenient to accept the proposal and keep $ 0.12, instead of rejecting it and running out of nothing.

And in the second case it is convenient to give the classmate as little as possible so that he accepts and we have a greater profit.

vichka [17]

Answer:

Revenue - March = $160

Explanation:

The accrual principle in accounting states that the revenues for a period should match the expenses for that particular period and any revenue or expense should be recorded in the period to which it relates to. This means that the upfront fee received by Fit Co. is a liability and should not be recorded as a revenue until it is earned. So, by providing two sessions in the month of March, Fit Co. has earned revenue for 2 sessions out of the twelve. Thus, at the end of March, Fit Co. should record a revenue of,

Revenue - march = 960 * 2/12 = $160

Jason purchased ABC stock at $40 per share and DEF stock at $35 per share on the same day in 2015. Exactly 6 months later, the A
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Purchasing Cost of Stock ABC purchased = $40 per share

Purchasing Cost of Stock DEF purchased = $35 per share

Time = 6 months

Selling price of share of ABC = $42 per share

Selling price of DEF share = $36

Dividend paid to the DEF = $0.5 each quarter i.e $0.5 twice in 6 months

Thus,

Total dividend paid to DEF = $0.5 × 2

= $1

Now,

For ABC

Total return = Selling price - Purchasing Cost

= $42 - $40

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $40 ] × 100%

= 5%

For DEF

Total return = Selling price + Dividend received - Purchasing Cost

= $36 + $1 - $35

= $2 per share

thus,

Holding period return = [ Total return ÷ Purchasing cost ] × 100%

= [ $2 ÷ $35 ] × 100%

= 5.7%

Hence,

option C) ABC 5% and DEF 5.7%.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The gain of $18000 would be reported in income statement

Explanation:

At each reporting date, the investment needs to be recorded at fair value to reflect current market prices and realities.

As a result,the fair value increase in investment of $18000 (fair value less costs) would be shown in income statement as unrealized gain on investment since the investment has not been disposed of.

Under IFRS for instance the gain would be shown under other comprehensive in order to emphasis its unrealized nature.

Samuel slips on an icy spot in front of an apartment and is hospitalized for three weeks. The owner of the apartment pays Samuel
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B) $1,800.

Explanation:

$14,000 in medical expenses are not part of Samuel's gross income.

$7,000 in disability payments are not included in Samuel's gross income because he paid the premiums.

$4,000 in pain and suffering compensation are not part of your gross income.

The only payments that are part of Samuel's gross income and therefore are taxed, are his regular monthly salary payments = $1,800. If Samuel's disability insurance premium had been paid by his employer, then the $7,000 would have been taxable.
