Answer:

The answer here is that the problem with the question is that the question is a  double-barreled question.

Explanation:

For further clarity on the choice of answer and the question asked. let us talk more on what a double-barreled question is.

A double-barreled question can be refereed to as a a form of trick question that when asked, it usually address more than one issue. However, the answer or reply to such question are expected to be precise and straight forward.

For example, if an individual is being asked a question such as do you still smoke ? If the reply comes as a NO, it means that the responder admits to had been smoking previously however, he has stopped smoking.

Also, if the responder reply is a YES, it means the responder agrees to have always been a smoker and admits to still smoke till date.

So in a way, the response to the double-barreled questions usually dwell in fallacy most of the time.

I hope the explanation helps.

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?

Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.

b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?

Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock

c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?

then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.

Andreyy89

Answer:

a) YTM = 9.8%

b) realized compound yield is 9.9%

Explanation:

a) PMT = 80

par value FV = 1000

coupon rate = 8%

curent price PV = 953.1

years to maturity n = 3

Yield to maturity (YTM) = \frac{PMT+(FV-PV)/n}{(FV+PV)/2} = \frac{80+(1000-953.1)/3}{(1000+953.1)/2}= 9.8%

b) r2 = 10% = 100%+10%=1.1

r3 = 12% = 100%+12%=1.12

Realized compound yield:First, find the future value (FV. of reinvested coupons and principal

FV =  ($80 *1.10 *1.12) + ($80 * 1.12) + $1080 = $1268.16

let a be the rate that makes the future value $1268.16

953.1(1+y)³ =$1268.16

(1+y)³=1.33

1+y=1.099

y = 0.099 = 9.9%
