Linda Clark received $225,000 from her mother's estate. She placed the funds into the hands of a broker, who purchased the following securities on Linda's behalf: a. Common stock was purchased at a cost of $96,000. The stock paid no dividends, but it was sold for $165,000 at the end of three years. b. Preferred stock was purchased at its par value of $51,000. The stock paid a 4% dividend (based on par value) each year for three years. At the end of three years, the stock was sold for $37,000. c. Bonds were purchased at a cost of $78,000. The bonds paid annual interest of $4,500. After three years, the bonds were sold for $83,000. The securities were all sold at the end of three years so that Linda would have funds available to open a new business venture. The broker stated that the investments had earned more than a 11% return, and he gave Linda the following computations to support his statement: Common stock: Gain on sale ($165,000 $96,000) Preferred stock: Dividends paid (4% x $51,000 3 years) Loss on sale ($37,000 - $51,000) Bonds: Interest paid ($4,500 3 years) Gain on sale ($83,000 $78,000) Net gain on all investments $ 69,000 6,120 (14,000) 13,500 5,000 $ 79,620 $79,620 3 years/$225,000 = 11.80 % Click here to view Exhibit 148-1 and Exhibit 14B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.
