Aggie had total E&P of $8,275,000 at the time of the distribution.

b. Assuming Aggie made no other distributions to Rusty during the year, by what amount does Aggie reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation?

Explanation:

A. Calculation for What is the amount and character (capital gain or dividend)

Using this formula

Capital gain or dividend=Fair market value -Income tax basis

Let plug in the formula

Capital gain or dividend=$150 per share-$37 per share

Capital gain or dividend=$113

Therefore the amount and character (capital gain or dividend) of any income or gain recognized per share by Rusty as a result of the partial liquidation is $113

B. Calculation for the amount that Aggie reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation

Based on the information given in a situation where the liquidation is been treated as an exchange, it means that Aggie will either lower its E&P by the amount of ($571,000) or by the pro-rata amount of the E&P which is calculated as (50% × $8,275,000 = $4,137,5000).

Therefore the amount that Aggie will reduce its total E&P as a result of the partial liquidation will be the amount of $571,000.

Florissa's Flowers jointly produces three varieties of flowers in the same garden: tulips, lilies, and daisies. The flowers are all watered via the same irrigation system and all receive the same amount of water; daisies require three times as much as lilies, and the water required for tulips is about halfway between the amounts needed for daisies and lilies. Although the lilies and tulips receive more water than they need due to the joint irrigation process, they are not hurt by the overwatering. The joint production cost of the three varieties of flowers is about $30 per harvest. Every harvest yields 10 tulips, 20 lilies, and 20 daisies

Allocate the joint costs of production to each product using the physical units method.

You have been approached by one of the staff who works testing equipment that passes through your facility. Every day, you receive computers from the university that have been repaired but now need to be tested to ensure that they can work under high stress. This means running them in your test labs. Because the test labs are as stressful on the test equipment as it is on the computers, you have planned for downtime in the past. To get this downtime, you have tried to ensure that effective capacity utilization is about 65 percent. Yet, the staff person has informed you that a backlog of yet-to-be tested equipment is building up. Furthermore, the test equipment is now starting to break at a rate faster than anticipated. To address this issue, you know that the design or maximum capacity is 720 hours and that over the last three weeks, you have spent 600 hours per week testing equipment.
Based on this data, what is our effective capacity utilization?
