Explanation:
Itemized deductions is an auditing or accounting terms, that describes the various expenses that are deducted from the adjusted gross income to reduce the taxable income of an individual or the corporations. For example, job search expenses, mileage expenses, charitable expenses, and etc.
Some common miscellaneous itemized deductions are:
1. Job search expenses: these are deductible from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) such as travel expenses, resume preparation costs, moving costs, etc.
2. Mileage expenses: mileage expenses is allowed by Internal Revenue Services (IRS) to be deducted from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for example; payments, repairs, insurance, etc.
3. Charitable expenses: Charitable expenses are also eligible to deduct from Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) e.g. charitable gifts, donations, etc.
Limitations imposed on items which are deductible
Regardless, if it is job search expenses, mileage expenses, or charitable expenses, all are deductible if they are eligible for the deduction, and according to the IRS, the eligibility criteria are that all the expenses must exceed the 2% of AGI (Adjusted gross income).
Cases in which medical expenses are not deductible
Given that an individual or company pay the amount of medical expenses from their pocket, not from the business cost, hence, in this case, medical insurance is not deductible from the AGI.
At the same time, the insurance premium is excluded for the deduction if they exceed from the fixed amount set by the IRS, therefore, the employer-paid insurance funds cannot be deducted.

Johnson Company calculates its allowance for uncollectible accounts as 10% of its ending balance in gross accounts receivable. The allowance for uncollectible accounts had a credit balance of $28,000 at the beginning of 2021. No previously written-off accounts receivable were reinstated during 2021. At 12/31/2021, gross accounts receivable totaled $466,700, and prior to recording the adjusting entry to recognize bad debts expense for 2021, the allowance for uncollectible accounts had a debit balance of 51,300. Required: 1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020? 2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021? 3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021. 4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what wou
Answer:
1. What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020?
= allowance for doubtful accounts 2020 / 10% = $28,000 / 10% = $280,000
2. What journal entry should Johnson record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021?
Dr Bad debt expense (= 46,670 + 51,300) 97,970
Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 97,970
3. Assume Johnson made no other adjustment of the allowance for uncollectible accounts during 2021. Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021.
= credit balance allowance for doubtful accounts January 1 + debit balance allowance for doubtful accounts December 31 = $28,000 + $51,300 = $79,300
4. If Johnson instead used the direct write-off method, what would the bad debt expense be
The bad debt expense would equal $79,300. The allowance for doubtful accounts is used as an estimate of future bad debt expense, while the direct write off method directly writes off bad debt as they occur.
Explanation:
beginning balance of allowance for doubtful accounts $28,000
gross accounts receivable $466,700 x 10% = $46,670 bad debt
before adjustments, the allowance for doubtful accounts had a debit balance of $51,300
Vest Industries manufactures 40,000 components per year. The manufacturing cost of the components was determined as follows: Direct materials $ 75,000 Direct labor 120,000 Variable overhead 45,000 Fixed overhead 60,000 Total $300,000 An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75. Fixed cost will remain the same if the component is purchased from an outside supplier. Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000 if it purchases the component from the outside supplier. What is the effect on income if Vest purchases the component from the outside supplier
Answer:
If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units= 40,000
The manufacturing cost:
Direct materials $ 75,000
Direct labor 120,000
Variable overhead 45,000
An outside supplier has offered to sell the component for $12.75.
Vest Industries can rent its unused manufacturing facilities for $45,000.
We will take into account only the differential costs.
Make in -house:
Total cost= 75,000 + 120,000 + 45,000= $240,000
Buy:
Total cost= 40,000*12.75 - 45,000= $465,000
If the company buys the component, income will decrease by $225,000.
Crisp Cookware's common stock is expected t opay a dividend of $1.50 a share at the end of this year; its beta is 0.6. The risk free rate is 5.6% and the market risk premium is 4%. The dividend is expected to grow at some constant rate and the stock currently sells for $50 a share. Asuming the market is in equilibrium, what does the market believe will be the stock price at the end of 3 years
Answer: $57
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
The risk free rate = 5.6%
The market risk premium = 4%
The stick beta = 0.6
The required return will be:
= Risk free rate + (Beta × Market risk premium)
= 5.6% + (0.6 × 4%)
= 5.6% + 2.4%
= 8% = 0.08
Crisp Cookware's common stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1.50 a share at the end of this year, Therefore,
D1 = $1.50
The current stock price will now be:
= D1/(Required return - Growth rate)
50= 1.5/(0.08 - growth rate)
(0.08 - growth rate) = 1.5/50
(0.08 - growth rate) = 0.03
Growth rate = 0.08 - 0.03
Growth rate = 0.05 = 5%
D4 = D1 × (1+Growth rate)³
D4 = 1.5 × (1 + 0.05)³
D4 = 1.5 × (1.05)³
D4 = 1.5 × 1.1576
D4 = $1.7364
The stock price at the end of the year 3
will be:
= D4/(Required return - Growth rate)
= 1.7364/(0.08 - 0.05)
= 1.7364/0.03
= $57
The market believe that the stock price at the end of 3 years will be $57

(d) Compute the expected number of withdrawals.
Answer:
(a)0.2748 (b) 0.2125 (c) 0.4974 (d) 3.6
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
By applying binomial probability formula we have the following:
P(X = x) = (ₙ Cₓ) * p^x * (1 - p)^n - x
Thus
(a) P(X ≤ 2)
= P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)
= (20 C₀) * 0.18^0 * (0.82)^20 + (20 C₁) * 0.18\^1 * (0.82)^19 + (20 C₂) * 0.18^2 * (0.82)^18
Probability = 0.2748
(b) P(X = 4) = 0.2125
(c) P(X > 3) = 0.4974
(d)The expected number of withdrawals = n * p = 20 * 0.18

A. A growing need for job flexibility to accommodate health care, elder care and child care issues
B. A challenge from overseas labor pools whose members are willing to work for lower wages
C. Decreased government regulation of human resource issues
D. A decreased sense of employee loyalty
Answer: A. A growing need for job flexibility to accommodate health care, elder care and child care issues
Explanation:
There has been a noticeable change in the social Environment in the last century as people are more sensitive to the needs of others and are trying to act in an empathetic way towards others.
One of these ways is through Job flexibility. It is no secret that people have various problems that could hinder their logistical ability to be at work at all required times yet still be able to contribute to the work required of them. It is therefore imperative that jobs become more flexible especially in the age of the internet to allow for people to work from home for issues such as health care, elder care and child care to allow employees to still work as required but also have the peace of mind from taking care of issues dear to them.
onceptual Connection: For each situation, identify the possible root cause(s) of the activity cost (such as plant layout, process design, and product design). a. A manual insertion process takes 30 minutes and 8 pounds of material to produce a product. Automating the insertion process requires 15 minutes of machine time and 7.5 pounds of material. The cost per labor hour is $12, the cost per machine hour is $8, and the cost per pound of materials is $10. b. With its original design, a gear requires 8 hours of setup time. By redesigning the gear so that the number of different grooves needed is reduced by 50%, the setup time is reduced by 75%. The cost per setup hour is $50. c. A product currently requires 6 moves. By redesigning the manufacturing layout, the number of moves can be reduced from 6 to 0. The cost per move is
Answer:
Explanation:
For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:
1. Plant Layout
2. Process design
3. Product design
(A) PROCESS DESIGN
The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.
A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.
(B) PRODUCT DESIGN
Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.
(C) PLANT LAYOUT
Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.

A 1000 is deposited into Fund X, which earns an annual effective rate of 6%. At the end of each year, the interest earned plus an additional 100 is withdrawn from the fund. At the end of 10th year, the fund is depleted. The annual withdrawals of interest and principal are deposited in Fund Y, which earns an annual effective rate of 9%. Determine the accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10.
Answer:
The accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10 is $2,084.67.
Explanation:
Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation of the accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10.
The accumulated value of Fund Y at the end of Year 10 is ending balance in year 10 which is in red color.
Also note the following from the attached excel file:
a) The ending balance of Fund X is 0.00 because Fund Y is depleted after Year 10.
b) The beginning balance of Fund Y and its earned interest are equal to 0.00, because no amount of money is deposite in Fund Y until after Year 1 which is the withdrawal from Fund X.
On January 1, Year 1, a company issues $320,000 of 8% bonds, due in 15 years, with interest payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31 each year. Assuming the market interest rate on the issue date is 7%, the bonds will issue at $349,428.
Required:
Record the bond issue on January 1, Year 1, and the first two semiannual interest payments on June 30, Year 1, and December 31, Year 1.
Answer with its Explanation:
At the issuance date, the bond the double entry would be as under:
Dr Cash $349,428
Cr Bonds payable $320,000
Cr Premium on Bonds payable $29,428
At June 30,2021, semi annual interest payment date, the double entry would be:
Dr Interest expense $12,230 ($349,428 * 7% * 6/12)
Dr Premium on Bonds payable $570
Cr Cash $12,800 (320,000 * 8% * 6/12)
Now at the end of the first six months, the carrying value of the bond would decrease by $570 ($349,428*8% * 6/12 - $320,000*7% * 6/12) to $348,858.
Now at December 31,2021, the next semi annual interest payment date, the double entry on this date would be:
Dr Interest expense $12,210 ($348,858 * 7% * 6/12)
Dr Premium on Bonds payable $590
Cr Cash $12,800 ($320,000 * 8% * 6/12)
Now at the end of the first six months, the carrying value of the bond would decrease by $590 ($348,858*8% * 6/12 - $320,000*7% * 6/12) to $348,268.
Comfy Fit Company manufactures two types of university sweatshirts, the Swoop and the Rufus, with unit contribution margins of $5 and $15, respectively. Regardless of type, each sweatshirt must be fed through a stitching machine to affix the appropriate university logo. The firm leases seven machines that each provides 1,000 hours of machine time per year. Each Swoop sweatshirt requires 6 minutes of machine time, and each Rufus sweatshirt requires 20 minutes of machine time. Assume that a maximum of 40,000 units of each sweatshirt can be sold. Required: 1. What is the contribution margin per hour of machine time for each type of sweatshirt
Answer:
Comfy Fit Company
Contribution margin per hour of machine time:
Contribution margin for 1 hour of machine time will be equal to:
Swoop = $5 x 60/6 = $50 per hour
Rufus = $15 x 60/6 = $150 per hour
Explanation:
If Contribution margin:
Swoop = $5 for 6 minutes' machine time
Rufus = $15 for 6 minutes' machine time
Therefore, contribution margin per hour will be
Contribution x 60/6.
Since 60 minutes make an hour, there will be ten times more contribution for each.
This gives an hourly contribution of $50 ($5 x 10) and $150 ($15 x 10).
Suppose that policymakers are doing cost-benefit analysis on a proposal to add traffic barriers to divide the flow of traffic in an effort to increase safety on a given highway. Which of the following statements is correct?
A. Because human life is priceless, any measure to increase traffic safety would generate benefits that outweigh the costs.
B. Estimating the value of a human life is difficult but necessary in order to evaluate the proposal.
C. The benefits are usually easier to measure than the costs.
D. Both a and b are correct.
Answer:
B. Estimating the value of a human life is difficult but necessary in order to evaluate the proposal.
Explanation:
Cost benefit analysis is a method used to guage the cost involved in an undertaking or process compared to the benefit.
If the coat is higher than the benefit the activity is discarded.
However if the benefit is greater than the cost it is a good activity to adopt.
In this scenario there is a proposal to add traffic barriers to divide the flow of traffic in an effort to increase safety on a given highway.
We will weigh the cost of setting up traffick barriers and the estimated value of human life.
If cost is more than the value of human life then the project is abandoned. But if value of human life is higher than the cost the project can proceed.
Although it is hard to estimate value of human life, we need to make an estimate in order to use the cost benefit analysis
Matt and Meg Comer are married and file a joint tax return. They do not have any children. Matt works as a history professor at a local university and earns a salary of $64,700. Meg works part-time at the same university. She earns $34,000 a year. The couple does not itemize deductions. Other than salary, the Comers’ only other source of income is from the disposition of various capital assets (mostly stocks).
a.
a. What is the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year?
Short-term capital gains $ 9,200
Short-term capital losses (2,200) )
Long-term capital gains 15,390
Long-term capital losses (6,390) )
b.
What is the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year?
Short-term capital gains $ 1,500
Short-term capital losses 0
Long-term capital gains 10,500
Long-term capital losses (10,200) )
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
Matt and Meg Comer are married, file a joint tax return and do not have any children.
The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700
The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses
The net short capital gain = $9,200 - $2,200 = $7,000
The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses
The net Long term capital gains = $15,390 - $6,390 = $9000
The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $7,000 + $9000
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $114700
The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction
The Taxable income = $114700 - $24,400
The Taxable income = $90,300
The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income
The net taxable income = $90,300 - $9000
The net taxable income = $81,300
For 2019:
Tax Liability = $9086 + ($81,300 - $78,950) × 22%
Tax Liability = $9086 + ($2,350) × 0.22
Tax Liability = $9086 + $517
Tax Liability = $9,603
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 × 15% (since it is between 15% - 37% ordinary income tax range, it may be taxed as 15%)
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 × 0.15
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $1350
Therefore; the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:
Tax Liability + The long-term capital gain for 2019
= $9,603 + $1350
= $10953
b.
The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700
The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses
The net short capital gain = $1,500 - $0 = $1,500
The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses
The net Long term capital gains = $10,500 - $10,200 = $300
The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $1,500 + $300
The Adjusted gross income AGI = $100,500
The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction
The Taxable income = $100500 - $24,400
The Taxable income = $76,100
The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income
The net taxable income = $76,100 - $300
The net taxable income = $75,800
For 2019:
Tax Liability = $1940 + ($75,800 - $19,400) × 12%
Tax Liability = $1940 + ($56400) × 0.12
Tax Liability = $1940 + $6768
Tax Liability = $8,708
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $3,190 × 0% (since it is in 10% - 15% ordinary income tax range)
The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $0
Therefore; the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:
Tax Liability + The long-term capital gain for 2019
= $8,708 + $0
= $8708

a. A partner can report his share of the loss of partnership on his personal income tax return to the base limit during his or her partnership interest.
Its partnership interest is based on $45,000 and its share of loss of the partnership is $24,000
So W can report all of the $24,000 partnership loss on his personal income tax return.
b. W's partnership loss reported on his income tax return, and the cash distributed by the partnership to him will reduce his partnership interest base.
Now,
W's basis in his partnership interest at the end of 2014 is
= W's basis in his partnership interest - Partnership loss reported by W on his income tax return - Cash distributed to W by the partnership
= $45,000 - $24,000 - $12,000
= $9,000
Paul Inc. forecasts a capital budget of $725,000. The CFO wants to maintain a target capital structure of 45% debt and 55% equity, and it also wants to pay dividends of $500,000. If the company follows the residual dividend policy, how much income must it earn, and what will its dividend payout ratio be?
Answer:
If the company follows the residual dividend policy, the income he must earn is $898,750
The dividend payout ratio will be 55.63%
Explanation:
In order to calculate the income must it earn we would have to make the following calculation:
income must it earn=55% equity+dividends
55% equity=$725,000*0.55
55% equity=$398,750
Therefore, income must it earn=$398,750+$500,000
income must it earn=$898,750
If the company follows the residual dividend policy, the income he must earn is $898,750.
To calculate the dividend payout ratio we would have to calculate the following formula:
dividend payout ratio=dividends paid/income must it earn
dividend payout ratio=$500,000/ $898,750
dividend payout ratio=55.63%
The dividend payout ratio will be 55.63%
Gilbert Company generated sales revenues of $1,800,000 in 2017. Its cost of goods sold amounted to $990,000. Calculate Gilbert's gross profit percentage. Supporting Materials Cost of goods sold / Group of answer choices 55% 45% 222% 182%
Answer:
45%
Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below:
As we know that
Gross profit percentage = Gross profit ÷ Sale revenue × 100
where,
Gross profit is
= Sales revenue - the cost of goods sold
= $1,800,000 - $990,000
= $810,000
And, the sales revenue is $1,800,000
So, the gross profit percentage is
= $810,000 ÷ $1,800,000
= 45%
Hence, the gross profit percentage is 45%

Purple Hedgehog Forestry is considering using more equity and less debt in its capital Structure. Which Of these statements best describes how this will affect the firm's annual dividend, assuming that all other factors are held
constant?
a. Purple Hedgehog Forestry will pay a smaller annual dividend if it goes forward with this decision.
b. Purple Hedgehog Forestry's annual dividend will be greater if it goes forward with this decision.
Answer:
1.63.57%
2.a. Purple Hedgehog Forestry will pay a smaller annual dividend if it goes forward with this decision.
Explanation:
1. Calculation of what will Purple Hedgehog Forestry's dividend ratio be if it follows a residual distribution policy
Total the amount of Dividend paid using the residual dividend policy will be:
Total Dividend = Net Income – [Total Capital Budget x Equity Ratio]
Let plug in the formula
= $140,000,000 – [$85,000,000 x 60%]
= $140,000,000 - $51,000,000
= $89,000,000
The Expected Dividend pay-out Ratio for this year will be:
Expected Dividend Pay-out Ratio = [Total Dividend Paid / Net Income] x 100
Let plug in the formula
= [$89,000,000 / $140,000,000] x 100
= 63.57%
Therefore Purple Hedgehog Forestry Group’s dividend payout ratio will be 63.57%”
2.The statements that best describes how this will affect the firm’s annual dividend, assuming that all other factors are held constant will be
Statement-A which state that "Purple Hedgehog Forestry Group will pay a smaller annual dividend if it goes forward with this decision."

Manufacturing overhead ($420,000)
Variable selling & admin. ($408,000)
Fixed selling & admin. ($110,000)
Net income (loss) $694,000
Explanation:
a) Absorption costing includes all costs, including fixed costs, related to production. This implies that the cost of a finished product includes the following costs: direct materials, direct labor, variable and fixed manufacturing overhead.
b) Variable costing includes only the variable costs directly incurred in production. The cost of a finished product, therefore, includes the following costs: direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
The difference in the two is the inclusion of fixed manufacturing overhead in the absorption costing technique in order to arrive at the product cost. Whereas, in variable costing, the fixed manufacturing overhead is regarded as a period cost and not a product cost.
Another difference is that with absorption costing, you arrive at the gross profit from which period costs are deducted to obtain the net income (loss). With variable costing, you arrive at the contribution from which expenses are deducted to get the net income (loss).
Basic bond valuation Complex Systems has an outstanding issue of $1 comma 000-par-value bonds with a 16% coupon interest rate. The issue pays interest annually and has 11 years remaining to its maturity date. a. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 9%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today? b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond. c. If the required return were at 16% instead of 9%, what would the current value of Complex Systems' bond be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.
Answer:
a. Complex Systems' bond price today = $1,476.36
Explanation:
a. If bonds of similar risk are currently earning a rate of return of 9%, how much should the Complex Systems bond sell for today?
This can be calculated by adding the Present Value of Coupons and the Present Value of Par Value as follows:
Calculation of Present Value of Coupons
The present of coupons is calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
Present value of coupons = C × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + r)]^n} ÷ r] …………………………………. (1)
Where;
C = Annual coupon amount = Par value * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 16% = $160
r = required rate of return or return of similar risk = 9%, or 0.09
n = number of years = 11
Substitute the values into equation (1) to have:
Present value of coupons = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.09)]^11} ÷ 0.09] = $1,088.83
Calculation of Present Par of Value
To calculate this, we use the present value formula as follows:
Present Value of Par Value = Par value / (1 + r)^n
Since Par Value is $1000 and r and n are as already given above, we have:
Present value of Par Value = $1,000 / (1 + 0.09)^11 = $387.53
Therefore, we have:
Complex Systems' bond price today = Present value of coupons + Present value of Par Value = $1,088.83 + $387.53 = $1,476.36
b. Describe the two possible reasons why the rate on similar-risk bonds is below the coupon interest rate on the Complex Systems bond.
The following are the possible two reasons:
1. Interest may vary bust the coupon is fixed. What can cause the interest rate to vary is the bond rating by rating agency. But his will not affect the coupon rate which is fixed. When the rating is high, the interest will be low. But when the rating is low, the interest will be high. This indicates a negative relationship between the rating and the interest rate.
2. The level of demand may also influence the interest rate to change. When the demand is high, the interest will be low. But when the demand is low, the interest will be high. This also indicates a negative relationship between the demand and the interest rate.
c. If the required return were at 16% instead of 9%, what would the current value of Complex Systems' bond be? Contrast this finding with your findings in part a and discuss.
To do this, we simply change he required return to 16% (or 0.16) in part a and proceed as follows:
Present value of coupons at 16% = $160 × [{1 - [1 ÷ (1 + 0.16)]^11} ÷ 0.016] = $804.58
Present value of Par Value at 16% = $1,000 / (1 + 0.16)^11 = $195.42
Complex Systems' bond price today at 16% = $804.58 + $195.42 = $1,000.00
Comparing part c result with part a result shows that if the coupon rate is greater than the required rate of return, the bond is sold at a premium. That is, price of bond will be more than par. As it can be seen in part a, the price of bond is $1,476.36 when the coupon rate of 16% is greater than the required return of 9%.
Also, the bond will be sold at par when the coupon rate and require return are equal. This is shown in part c where the bond is sold at $1,000 when both coupon rate and required return rate are equal to 16%.
By implication, we can also infer without doing any calculation that the bond will be sold at a discount if the coupon rate is less than the required rate of return.
Suppose the demand for macaroni is inelastic, the supply of macaroni is elastic, the demand for cigarettes is inelastic, and the supply of cigarettes is elastic. If a tax were levied on the sellers of both of these commodities, we would expect that the burden of
Answer:
both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers
Explanation:
Here are the options:
a. both taxes would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers. b. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers c. the macaroni tax would fall more heavily on the buyers than on the sellers, and the burden of the cigarette tax would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers O d. both taxes would fall more heavily on the sellers than on the buyers.
Tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services. Taxes increases the price of goods and services
Supply is elastic if a small change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity supplied.
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in demand when price is increased.
More burden of tax should fall on the consumers because their demand is inelastic. So, if prices rise as a result of the tax, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded.
But in the case of suppliers, they are sensitive to price and a rise in price would cause quantity supplied to fall and revenue would fall.

Benge Automotive issued a corporate bond with a face value of $1,000, with a 10% annual coupon rate paid semiannually. The bond matures in 12 years and sells at a price of $1,080. What is the component cost of debt for use in the WACC calculation
Answer:
The answer is 8.90%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The bond face value =$1000
Annual coupon rate =10%
Maturity rate =12 years
Price sold at =1080
Now we find the component cost of debt for use
Thus
The debt (cost) = Yield to maturity
So
YTM = Annual interest payment + [(Face value - Present price / Years to maturity] / [0.6(Price of bond) + 0.4 (principal payment)]
= $100 + [($1000 - $1080) / 12] / [0.6 * $1080 + 0.4 * $1000]
= $100 - 6.67 / $1048
= $93.33 / $1048
= 0.0890 or 8.90%
Therefore the debt for use is 8.90%
Cost accounting systems used by manufacturing companies are based on the: Multiple Choice Periodic inventory system. Perpetual inventory system. Finished goods inventories. Weighted average inventories. LIFO inventory system.
Answer:
Perpetual inventory system.
Explanation:
The cost accounting refers to managing the cost of the company so that the company could able to produced their goods at the lowest cost
Now in the case of a manufacturing company, various things can be calculated like - the cost of goods sold, ending work in process, etc
The perpetual inventory system refers to the system in which the inventory is updated on a regular basis while on the other hand periodic inventory system refers to the system in which the company updated their inventory counts in periodic or particular period only
So here the manufacturing company based on perpetual inventory system so that it can trace the cost in an effective manner
Blossom Company purchased machinery with a list price of $80000. They were given a 5% discount by the manufacturer. They paid $400 for shipping and sales tax of $4000. Blossom estimates that the machinery will have a useful life of 10 years and a residual value of $25000. If Blossom uses straight-line depreciation, annual depreciation will be
Answer:
$5,540
Explanation:
Calculation of Blossom annual depreciation using the straight-line depreciation
Annual depreciation=[List price-discount] + shipping + sales tax - residual value) ÷ 10 years
Let plug in the above formula
Annual depreciation =[($80000-$4,000)+($400+$4,000-$25,000)÷10 years ]
Annual depreciation =$76,000+$400+$4,000-$25,000÷10 years
=$55,400÷10 years
Annual depreciation =$5,540
Calculation for list price discount
5%×80,000
=$4,000
Therefore Blossom annual depreciation using the straight-line depreciation would be $5,540
A company manufactures specialty pollution-sensing devices for the offshore oil industry. One particular device has reached maturity, and the company is considering whether to replace it with a newer model. Technologies have not changed dramatically, so the new device would have similar functionality to the existing one, but would be smaller and lighter in weight. The firm's three choices are: (1) keep the old model, (2) design a replacement device with internal resources, (3) and purchase a new design from a firm that is one of its suppliers. The market for these devices will be either "receptive" or "neutral" of the replacement model. The financial estimates are as follows: Keeping the old design will yield a profit of $6 million dollars. Designing the replacement internally will yield $10 million if the market is "receptive," but a $3 million loss if the market is "neutral." Acquiring the new design from the supplier will profit $4 million under "receptive," $1 million under "neutral." The company feels that the market has a 70 percent chance of being "receptive" and a 30 percent chance of being "neutral." Draw the appropriate decision tree. Calculate expected value for all courses of action. What action yields the highest expected value?
Answer:
designing a replacement with internal resources yields the highest expected value = $6,100,000
Explanation:
expected values:
keep the old model
expected profits = $6,000,000
design a replacement with internal resources
receptive market = $10,000,000 x 0.7 = $7,000,000
neutral market = -$3,000,000 x 0.3 = -$900,000
total expected value = $6,100,000
purchase new design
receptive market = $4,000,000 x 0.7 = $2,800,000
neutral market = $1,000,000 x 0.3 = $300,000
total expected value = $3,100,000
there is no room here to draw a proper decision tree, but it would be something like this:
⇒ keep old model ⇒ $6,000,000 in profits
sensing device ⇒ design a replacement ⇒ receptive market
$7,000,000
⇒ neutral market
-$900,000
continuing from above ⇒ expected value
$6,100,000
⇒ outside supplier ⇒ receptive market
$2,800,000
⇒ neutral market
$300,000
continuing from above ⇒ expected value
$3,100,000
