Answer:
Deductible interest expense of $1440 and deductible education expense of $4000.
Explanation:
There are certain tax laws which allows a tax payer to deduct his expenses from the taxable amount. The tax payer can deduct interest expense from the taxable amount since it is a tax shield. Lionel can deduct an interest expense of $1440 from the taxable amount and he can deduct $4000 for his education from the taxable amount.
Suppose you are the money manager of a $5.21 million investment fund. The fund consists of four stocks with the following investments and betas: Stock Investment Beta A $ 320,000 1.50 B 780,000 (0.50) C 1,260,000 1.25 D 2,850,000 0.75 If the market's required rate of return is 10% and the risk-free rate is 5%, what is the fund's required rate of return
Answer: 8.65%
Explanation:
First find the weights of the stocks:
Total = 320,000 + 780,000 + 1,260,000 + 2,850,000
= $5,210,000
Stock A:
= 320,000 / 5,210,000
= 6.14%
Stock B:
= 780,000 / 5,210,000
= 14.97%
Stock C:
= 1,260,000 / 5,210,000
= 24.18%
Stock D:
= 2,850,000 / 5,210,000
= 54.70%
Then calculate Portfolio Beta.
Portfolio beta = (6.14% * 1.50) + (14.97% * - 0.5) + (24.18% * 1.25) + (54.72% * 0.75)
= 0.7299
Required rate of return using Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM)
= Risk free rate + Beta * (Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 0.7299 * (10% - 5%)
= 8.65%

The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

Sunland purchased the license for distribution of a popular consumer product on January 1, 2020, for $158,000. It is expected that this product will generate cash flows for an indefinite period of time. The license has an initial term of 5 years but by paying a nominal fee, Sunland can renew the license indefinitely for successive 5-year terms. What amount should be amortized for the year ended December 31, 2020
Answer:
No amount should be amortized since the license can be renewed indefinitely for successive 5-year terms.
Instead, the license should be tested for impairment annually to determine impairment loss.
Explanation:
An intangible asset that can be used indefinitely is treated like purchased Goodwill. It should never be amortized. Annually, the asset should be tested for impairment. The test is to compare the market value of the license with the book value.

Answer:
$3900
$8600
$3600
Explanation:
This is the remaining part of the question :
Required: Calculate depreciation expense of the equipment for the first year, using each of the following methods
1. Straight-line.
2.Double Declining Method
3.Activity Based
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
(43,000 - 4000) / 10 = $3900
Depreciation expense using the double declining method = Depreciation factor x cost of the asset
Depreciation factor = 2 x (1/useful life) = 2/10 = 0.2
Depreciation expense = 0.2 x $43,000 = $8600
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1200 / 13,000) x (43,000 - 4000) = $3600
Haylock Inc. bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 7,500 direct labor-hours will be required in August. The variable overhead rate is $1.50 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $100,410 per month, which includes depreciation of $8,940. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. The August cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget should be:
Answer:
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Explanation:
First, we need to allocate variable overhead using the following formula:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.5*7,500
Allocated MOH= $11,250
Now, we can calculate the cash disbursement for August. Depreciation is not a cash expense. We should deduct it from fixed costs.
Overhead cash disbursement= 11,250 + 100,410 - 8,940
Overhead cash disbursement= $102,720
Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation: ($ in thousands) 2021 2022 2023 Subscription revenue recognized (earned) $ 350 $ 360 $ 320 Subscription payments received in cash 390 340 360 The difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income is due to subscription revenue for one-year magazine subscriptions being reported for tax purposes in the year received, but reported in the income statement in later years when the performance obligation is satisfied. The income tax rate is 25% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future. Required: 1. What is the balance sheet account that gives rise to a temporary difference in this situation
Answer: Unearned subscription revenue.
Explanation:
Tax is made on a cash basis which means that a transaction is eligible for taxation once cash has been paid for it. Businesses however have to use the Accrual basis which only record transactions in the period that they have been incurred.
In this scenario, there is more subscription payment in cash than the company recognized which means that the company has not yet delivered the service they were paid for and so could not recognize the subscriptions. They will however be taxed on those amounts because the cash has come in.
The account giving this temporary difference is therefore the Unearned Subscription Revenue account.

Total demand for Oxy is 10,000 units and for Sonic is 6,000 units. Machine time is a scarce resource. During the year, 50,000 machine hours are available. Oxy requires 4 machine hours per unit, while Sonic requires 2.5 machine hours per unit. What is the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
Answer:
$444,250
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year
First step is to calculate the Contribution margin per hour
Oxy sonic
Sales $75 $44
Less: variable cost $40 $21
=Contribution margin per unit 35 23
÷Machine hour per unit 4 2.5
=Contribution margin per hour $8.75 $9.2
Ranking 2 1
Second step is to calculate the Hour required for sonic
Hour required for sonic = 6,000*2.5
Hour required for sonic= 15,000 hours
Third step is to calculate the Hour available for oxy
Hour available for oxy = 50,000-15,000
Hour available for oxy = 35,000 hours
Fourth step is to calculate the Production of Oxy
Production of Oxy = 35,000/4
Production of Oxy= 8,750 units
Now let calculate the Maximum contribution margin
Maximum contribution margin = 8,750*35+ 6000*23
Maximum contribution margin =306,250+,138,000
Maximum contribution margin = $444,250
Therefore the maximum contribution margin Garrison can achieve during a year is $444,250
A firm' s sales procedure involves preparing sales invoices based on shipping documents; posting the sales amounts to accounts receivable records; and posting quantities billed to the inventory records. Due to control weaknesses in the procedure, certain goods that are shipped may not be reflected in the sales invoices. The exposure from this risk can result in:
Answer: understatement of revenues and receivables and over statement of inventory

Giving the following information:
Production= 315 + 318 + 362= 995 units
Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours.
Hourly rate= $16
Variable overhead per unit= $5
Fixed overhead= $5,600
First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours:
Direct labor hours= 995*3= 2,985
Now, the direct labor costs:
Direct labor costs= $47,760
Finally, the total manufacturing overhead:
total manufacturing overhead= 5,600 + 5*995
total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
Item4 3 points eBookHintPrintReferencesItem 4 Spotter Corporation reported the following for June in its periodic inventory records. Date Description Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Beginning 12 $ 8 $ 96 11 Purchase 38 9 342 24 Purchase 20 11 220 30 Ending 24 Required: Calculate the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under the (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, and (c) weighted average cost methods.
Answer:
a. FIFO
cost of ending inventory = $256
cost of goods sold = $402
b. LIFO
cost of ending inventory = $204
cost of goods sold = $454
c. Weighted average cost
cost of ending inventory = $225.60
cost of goods sold = $432.40
Explanation:
Periodic method means cost of sales and inventory balance are determined at the end of the period.
Step 1 : Units Sold
Units Sold = Units available for Sale - Units in Inventory
= (12 + 38 + 20) - 24
= 46
Step 2 : FIFO
FIFO assumes that the units to arrive first, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 20 x $11 + 4 x $9 = $256
cost of goods sold = 12 x $8 x 34 x $9 = $402
Step 3 : LIFO
LIFO assumes that the units to arrive last, will be sold first.
cost of ending inventory = 12 x $9 + 12 x $8 = $204
cost of goods sold = 20 x $11 x 26 x $9 = $454
Step 4 : Weighted average cost
Weighted average cost method calculates a new unit cost with every purchase made. this unit cost is then used to calculated cost of sale and ending inventory.
Unit Cost = Total Costs ÷ Units available for sale
= (12 x $8 + 38 x $9 + 20 x $11 ) ÷ (12 + 38 + 20)
= $9.40
cost of ending inventory = Units in Inventory x Unit Cost
= 24 x $9.40
= $225.60
cost of goods sold = Units Sold x Unit Cost
= 46 x $9.40
= $432.40
On January 1, Alan King decided to deposit $58,800 in a savings account that will provide funds four years later to send his son to college. The savings account will earn 8% annually. Any interest earned will be added to the fund at year-end (rather than withdrawn). (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Required:
Answer:
FV= $79,996.75
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment (PV)= $58,800
Interest rate (i)= 8% compounded annually
Number of periods (n)= 4 years
To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 58,800*(1.08^4)
FV= $79,996.75
Suppose a firm produces with a technology that exhibits constant returns to scale at all levels of production. The firm's inputs are workers and laptops. The firm sells its output in a perfectly competitive market. It also hires its inputs (hires workers and rents laptops) in perfectly competitive markets. Assume that in the long run the firm produces y units of output using x1 workers and x2 laptops. If the firm doubles the amount of workers and laptops (using 2x1 and 2x2), we would expect the firm's long-run profits to
Answer:
Not change
Explanation:
In the long run we expect firms to earn zero profits. With competitive markets for both inputs and output, and with constant returns to scale, a doubling of all inputs would lead to twice as much output, twice as much revenue, and twice as much cost.

Movement:
Batch 60V $66
(Three batch moves *22.00 per batch)
Weight $750
(150 pounds*0.10 per pound*50)
Inspection $200
(Two sets of inspections*50*2.00 per unit)
Drilling $750
(3.00 per hole*five holes in each unit*50)
Welding $24,000
(6.00 per inch*80*50)
Shaping $800
(32.00 per hour*(30 minutes/60)*50)
Assembly $900
(18.00 per hour*1*50)
Total $27,541
Therefore the activity cost is $27,541
