Answer:
a. Harry will recognize $0.
b. Sally will also recognize $0.
c. By selling the equipment to an unrelated party and by contributing $150,000 to the partnership instead.
d. Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.
e. Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000
f. Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000
g. Total assets = Total Capital = $330,000
Explanation:
Note: The data in the question are merged together and they are first sorted before answering the questions as follows:
Harry: Basis Fair Market Value
Cash $30,000 $30,000
Land 100,000 120,000
Totals $130,000 $150,000
Sally:
Equipment used in a business 200,000 150,000
Totals $200,000 $150,000
The explanations to the answers are now provided as follows:
a. How much gain or loss will Harry recognize on the contribution?
Harry will recognize $0 because he did not have any debt relief.
The reason is that gain on property contributed by a partner to a partnership will be recognized only when the debt relief they seemed to have received is greater than their basis in the partnership before the distribution.
Since Harry did not have any debt relief, he will therefore recognize $0.
b. How much gain or loss will Sally recognize on the contribution?
Sally will also recognize $0.
It is possible that when partners contributes property to a partnership, loss may not be recognized even if they have debt relief. Therefore, it not in all cases that loss are recognized.
c. How could the transaction be structured a different way to get a better result for Sally?
This transaction could be structured differently if Sally decides to sell the equipment to an unrelated party and then make a cash contribution of $150,000 to the partnership instead of contributing the equipment. As a result of this, it will be possible for Sally to recognize the built-in loss on the equipment by selling it.
d. What is Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest?
The basis of Harry in his partnership interest can be obtained by adding his contribution of cash and land to the partnership as follows:
Harry's tax basis = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000.
Therefore, Harry's tax basis in his partnership interest is $130,000.
e. What is Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest?
This is simply the amount of her contribution of $200,000 basis in the equipment.
Therefore, Sally's tax basis in her partnership interest is $200,000.
f. What is Evergreen's tax basis in its assets?
This can be calculated by adding the Harry's basis in cash and land of $30,000 and $100,000 respectively together with Sally's basis in equipment of $200,000 as follows:
Evergreen's tax basis in its assets = $30,000 + $100,000 + $200,000 = $330,000
Therefore, Evergreen's tax basis in its assets is $330,000.
e. Prepare a tax basis balance sheet for the Evergreen partnership showing the tax basis capital accounts for the partners.
This can be prepared as follows:
Evergreen partnership
Tax Basis Balance Sheet
Particulars Amount ($)
Assets:
Cash 30,000
Equipment 200,000
Land 100,000
Total Assets 330,000
Capital:
Harry's Capital (w.1) 130,000
Sally's Capital (w.2) 200,000
Total Capital 330,000
Workings:
w.1: Harry's Capital = Cash contributed + Land contributed = $30,000 + $100,000 = $130,000
w.2: Sally's Capital = Equipment contributed = $200,000

2012: ($8000 / 1000) = $8
2013: ($13,500 / 1,500) = $9
2014: ($20,000 / 2000) = $10
BLAHNIK Real GDP per Capita:
2011: ($11,000 / 1000) = $11
2012: ($20,000/2000) = $10
2013: ($27,000 / 3000) = $9
2014: ($32,000 / 4000) = $8
Aggregate income in an economy in 2017 is $100 billion. Saving is $30 billion and imports are $35 billion. What is aggregate expenditure in the economy in 2017?
Answer: $100 billion
Explanation:
In Economics, Aggregate Income is assumed to be the same as Aggregate Expenditure. The assumption behind this is that every dollar spent is a dollar in income from someone else so every income is just a dollar that will be spent.
With that logic in a country that has Aggregate income of $100 billion, the Aggregate Expenditure will be $100 billion as well.
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market that is producing on a production curve where the marginal product of labor is diminishing also has:
Answer: A. a downward-sloping labor demand curve.
Explanation:
If the marginal product of labor is diminishing then that means that for every extra worker hired, less products are made than the last worker. As a result of this, companies will not want to pay high wages to workers because they would be bringing in less revenue when hired.
This will cause a downward-sloping labor demand curve that shows that as more workers are hired, the company would like to pay less wages because each new worker is only producing less than the last worker.
Which of the following is not a recommended guideline for designing and administering a compensation and reward system that will truly motivate organization members, inspire their best efforts, and sustain high levels of productivity?
A. Make the performance payoff a major, not minor, piece of the total compensation package
B. Keep the time between achieving the target performance outcome and the payment of the reward as short as possible
C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives
D. Make sure that the performance targets that each individual or team is expected to achieve involve outcomes that the individual or team can personally affect
E. Absolutely avoid skirting the system to find ways to reward effort rather than results
Answer: C. Maintain a 50-50 balance between monetary and non-monetary rewards and a 50-50 balance between positive and negative incentives.
Explanation:
Employees generally prefer to be paid for their hardwork and so would prefer that their rewards are more monetary in nature than not. As good as non-monetary rewards are, they should not be on equal footing with monetary rewards. If they are, it could demotivate employees who will feel they are not getting paid their fair share.
Negative incentives get the job done but more often than not fail to positively motivate employees in such a way that they will bring out their best efforts. Negative incentives are more like punishments or the threat of them and so if they are on equal footing with positive investments, organization members will not be as motivated.
in which order would the expectancy theory place the following events? a) outcome valence, performance, effort b) performance, effort, outcome valence c) effort, outcome valence, performance d) performance, outcome valence, effort e) effort, performance, outcome valence
Answer: e. effort, performance, outcome valence
Explanation:
The expectancy theory analyses and explains the reason why people behave the way they do. The expectancy theory explains that individual behave the way they do because they believe their efforts which they put into a particular activity will bring about an outcome.
The first thing that comes first is the effort which one puts into an activity, after then is the performance and lastly the outcome.
Unable to borrow from other banks, University Bank is forced to turn to the Federal Reserve for needed funds. The interest rate that the Federal Reserve will charge University Bank is called the
Answer:
Discount rate
Explanation:
The discount rate is the rate of interest i.e. charged by the Fed for extending the loan to the commercial bank
In order to apply the expansionary monetary policy, Fed redcued the discount rate and apply the contractionary monetary policy so that the Fed could raise the interest rate
Therefore in the given case, the charge we called as a discount rate
A stock had returns of 17.88 percent, −5.16 percent, and 20.39 percent for the past three years. What is the variance of the returns?
Answer:
Variance of the return = 0.01983
Explanation:
[tex]S^{2}[/tex]= Σ[tex](X-X)^{2}[/tex]/ N - 1
Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%
Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)
Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2
Variance = 0.01983
What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 156 shares of Stock A that sell for $45 per share and 130 shares of Stock B that sell for $30 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
Total Stock price of Stock A = 156 x 45
Total Stock price of Stock A = $7,020
Total Stock price of Stock B = 130 x 30
Total Stock price of Stock B = $3,900
Hence, the total Stock price of Stock of A & B is $7,020 & $3,900 respectively.
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 7,020/ ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock A = 64%
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 3,900 / ( 7,020 + 3,900)
Portfolio weight of Stock B = 36%
Hence, the portfolio weight of stock A & B is 64% & 36% respectively.

Assume that the current ratio for Arch Company is 2.5, its acid-test ratio is 2.0, and its working capital is $390,000. Answer each of the following questions independently, always referring to the original information. Required: a. How much does the firm have in current liabilities? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar.)
Answer:
Current liabilities = 260,000
Explanation:
Given:
Current ratio = 2.5
Working capital = $390,000
Find:
Current liabilities
Computation:
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
$390,000 = Current assets - Current liabilities
Current assets = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
2.5 = [Current liabilities + $390,000] / Current liabilities
2.5 Current liabilities = Current liabilities + $390,000
Current liabilities = 260,000
the for-profit unionized industries will be less productive. all taxpayers are better off. the union is economically harmful. the for-profit unionized industries will be harmed.
Answer: All taxpayers are better off.
Explanation:
In 2019, 23% of the Federal budget of $4.4 trillion was spent on Social Security which provided retirement benefits for about 45 million retired people. Most of this money came from Federal Revenues which are financed by Tax collections.
If the Unions helped more people secure pension benefits so that when they retire the Federal Government would not have to spend so much taking care of them, it can be argued that the amount of taxes paid by people would be less so all taxpayers would be better off.

A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will
The question is missing the options and is incomplete. The q=complete question is,
A company with $70,000 in current assets and $50,000 in current liabilities pays a $1,000 current liability. As a result of this transaction, the current ratio and working capital will:
a. both decrease
b. both increase
c. remain the same and decrease, respectively
d. increase and remain the same, respectively
Answer:
The correct answer is option D as the current ratio has increased while the working capital has remained the same.
Explanation:
The current ratio is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities. The formula for current ratio is,
Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
The old current ratio was,
Current ratio = 70000 / 50000 = 1.4
After the transaction, the new current ratio is,
Current ratio = (70000 - 1000) / (50000 - 1000) = 1.408
Thus, as a result of the transaction, the current ratio has increased.
The working capital is the difference between the value of current assets and the value of current liabilities.
The formula to calculate the working capital is,
Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
Old working capital = 70000 - 50000 = $20000
The new working capital = 69000 - 49000 = $20000
Thus, the working capital remain unchanged after the transaction.
Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:
Answer:
Initial value of building = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000
Explanation:
The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.
The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.
The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:
Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)
Where, from the questio;
Lump-sum price = $9,000,000
FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:
Building fair value = $4,500,000
Land fair value = $3,000,000
Land fair value = $2,500,000
TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000
Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:
Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000
Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000
Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000

DPMO stands for:______
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
b) Defectives Per Million Opportunity
c) Data Per Million Opportunity
d) all of the above
e) none of the above
Answer:
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
Explanation:
DPMO is an acronym which stands for Defects Per Million Opportunity. Defects per Million Opportunities refers to a standard metric which represents the number of defects in a process per one million opportunities.
In order to calculate the DPMO, we divide the number of defects by the number of opportunities and then multiply by a million.
Additionally, when a quality characteristics or properties do not tally with a standard or specifications it is generally referred to as a defect.
Hence, in a six sigma approach to quality or level of performance, the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 3.4.

If D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00 per unit per month, a) What is the economic order quantity? The EOQ is 601601 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). b) How does your answer change if the holding cost doubles? The EOQ is 425425 units (round your response to the nearest whole number). c) What if the holding cost drops in half? The EOQ is nothing units (round your response to the nearest whole number).
Answer: A) The Economic Order Quantity is 601 units.
B)The Economic Order Quantity is 425 units.
C )The Economic Order Quantity is 849 units
Explanation:
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{ 2 x Dx S/ H}[/tex]
where D= demand
S = Order cost
H= holding cost.
a)when D = 8,200 per month, S = $44 per order, and H = $2.00
EOQ, economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2x D x S /H}[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 x 8,200 x 44 /2 }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{360,800}[/tex] = 600.666= 601 units
b) if the holding cost doubles, holding cost = HX 2 = 2 X 2 = 4
EOQ, economic order quantity =[tex]\sqrt{ 2 x D xS /H }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{2 X 8,200 X 44 / 2 X $2}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{180,400}[/tex] = 424.73 = 425units

A 4 year project has an annual operating cash flow of $55,000. At the beginning of the project, $4,600 in net working capital was required, which will be recovered at the end of the project. The firm also spend $23,100 on equipment to start the project. This equipment will have a book value of $4,940 at the end of the project, but can be sold for $5,880. The tax rate is 35 percent. What is the Year 4 cash flow?
a. $65,809
b. $63,422
c. $21193
d. $55,951
e. $65,151
Answer:Year 4 Cash flow =$65,151.----E
Explanation:
Salvage value of the equipment =$5,880
Book value at end of project before sale = $4,940
Gain on disposal = $940
tax gain non disposal = 35% of $940 =0.35 x 940= $329
Amount after tax salvage value = $5,880 - $329=$5,551
Year 4 Cash flow = Operating cash flow +Net working capital +Amount after tax salvage value = $55,000 + $4,600 +$5551= $65,151.
Suppose that Mexico experienced a very severe period of inflation in 1972. As prices in Mexico rose, the demand in the foreign exchange market for Mexican pesos:
Answer:

Japanese tourists come to experience the magic of Disney World and other attractions around Orlando, Florida. These tourists are:___________
[A] contributing to the United States’ deficit balance of payments.
[B] helping increase the balance of payments for Japan.
[C] exporting products and services back to Japan.
[D] further decreasing the United States’ balance of payments.
[E] helping the United States’ balance of payments.
Answer:
Option E, helping the United States’ balance of payments, is the right answer.
Explanation:
Option “E” is the correct answer because the balance of payment records all the transactions that occurred between the home country and the rest of the word. Therefore, if the foreign tourist spends in the country that means they are helping the balance of payment. This will increase the country’s surplus and the ability to pay the expenses because tourism is helping to generate revenue.

Consider two projects. The first project pays benefits of $85 today and nothing else. The second project pays nothing today, nothing one year from now, but $104 two years from now. a. Which project would be preferred if the discount rate were 0%? b. What if the rate increased to 10%? c. Find the Internal Rate of Return.
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
Discount rate is 0%
NPV of first project = 85
NPV of second project = 0 + 0 + 104 = 104
second project is preferrable .
b )
if discount rate is 10%
NPV of first project = 85
NPV of second project = 104 / 1.1²
= 85.95
Their NPV is almost the same so anyone can be preferred .
c ) IRR can not be calculated unless the cost of project or cash outflow is given .
Steelcase Inc. (SCS) is one of the largest manufacturers of office furniture in the United States. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, it assembles filing cabinets in an Assembly Department. Assume the following information for the Assembly Department: Direct labor per filing cabinet 18 minutes Supervisor salaries $250,000 per month Depreciation $18,500 per month Direct labor rate $28 per hourRequired:Prepare a flexible budget for 70,000, 80,000, and 90,000 filing cabinets for the month ending February 28 in the Assembly Department.
Answer:
Total department cost of 70,000 units = $856,500
Total department cost of 80,000 units = $940,000
Total department cost of 90,000 units = $1,024,500
Explanation:
Note: See the attached excel file for the flexible budget.
A flexible budget is a budget that changes, flexes or adjusts as the volume, activity or unit of production changes.
For this question, the direct labor cost for each unit can be calculated as follows:
Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes = 18
Number of minutes in one hour = 60
Direct labor rate per minute = Direct labor rate per hour / Number minutes in one hour = $28 / 60 = $0.466666666666667
Direct labor cost per filing cabinet = Direct labor time per filing cabinet in minutes * Direct labor rate per minute = 18 * $0.466666666666667 = $8.40
Direct labor cost of a particular units of production = Direct labor cost per filing cabinet * Number of units of production ................... (1)
Using equation (1), the Direct labor cost of different units of production used in the attached excel file is calculated as follows:
Direct labor cost of 70,000 units = $8.40 * 70,000 = $588,000
Direct labor cost of 80,000 units = $8.40 * 80,000 = $672,000
Direct labor cost of 90,000 units = $8.40 * 90,000 = $756,000
