Get help on following question with a complete explaination:
Bernie and Pam Britten are a young married couple beginning careers and establishing a household. They will each make about $50,000 next year and will have accumulated about $40,000 to invest. They now rent an apartment but are considering purchasing a condominium for $100,000. If they do, a down payment of $10,000 will be required.
They have discussed their situation with Lew McCarthy, an investment advisor and personal friend, and he has recommended the following investments:
The condominium - expected annual increase in market value = 2%.
Municipal bonds - expected annual yield = 3%.
High-yield corporate stocks - expected dividend yield = 5%.
Savings account in a commercial bank-expected annual yield = 1%.
High-growth common stocks - expected annual increase in market value = 6%; expected dividend yield = 0.
Calculate the after-tax yields on the foregoing investments, assuming the Brittens have a 28% marginal tax rate (based on Public Law 108-27, The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003).
How would you recommend the Brittens invest their $40,000? Explain your answer. |

Get help on following question with a complete explaination:
As part of its due process, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) asks for comments on its proposed standards. These proposed standards, in the form of Exposure Drafts, are available on FASB’s website. FASB then evaluates those comment letters. In many cases the organizations or persons responding provide useful information because they provide a viewpoint the FASB has not fully considered or else provide technical information about a particular industry or practice the FASB has failed to consider. In most cases the FASB revises its proposed standards in response to the comment letters.
In this case, you are going to analyze a comment letter related to SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payments. The comment letter was written in response to the exposure draft FASB published in March 2004. SFAS 123R was later issued in December 2004. Your memo should address the issues below.
Required:
1.Briefly describe the standard setting process FASB adopts.
2.Explain the position that the letter takes on how to account for share-based compensation, including any suggestions for change.
3.Analyze why the company writing the comment letter takes the position it does.
4.Evaluate if the arguments made in the letter are reasonable. |
