Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries, they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).
A. What is Marc and Michelle’s gross income?
B. What is Marc and Michelle’s adjusted gross income?
C. What is the total amount of Marc and Michelle’s deductions from AGI?
D. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxable income?
E. What is Marc and Michelle’s taxes payable or refund due for the year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:

Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500

they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)

contribution to IRA = ($2,500)

alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005

Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100

Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377

Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.

The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877

Refundable tax credits:

$2,000 in child tax credit

$2,900 in recovery rebate credit

total = $4,900

taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.

Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answers

Answer: $‭412,600‬

Explanation:

AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings

Increase in Assets

= 5,000,000 *  15%

= $750,000

Increase in Liabilities

For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.

= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%

= $135,000

Additional to Retained Earnings

= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)

= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)

= $202,400‬

= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400

= $‭412,600‬

The following data pertain to the Oneida Restaurant Supply Company for the year just ended.

Budgeted sales revenue $205,000
Actual manufacturing overhead 336,000
Budgeted machine hours (based on practical capacity) 8,000
Budgeted direct-labor hours (based on practical capacity) 20,000
Budgeted direct-labor rate $14
Budgeted manufacturing overhead $364,000
Actual machine hours 11,000
Actual direct-labor hours 18,000
Actual direct-labor rate $15


Required:
a. Compute the firm's predetermined overhead rate for the year using each of the following common cost drivers: (a) machine hours, (b) direct-labor hours, and (c) direct-labor dollars.
b. Calculate the over-applied or under-applied overhead for the year using each of the cost drivers listed above.

Answers

Answer:

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate/Allocation base

a. Machine hours

= 364,000 / 8,000

= $45.5

Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5

Direct-labor hours

= 364,000 / 20,000

= $18.2

Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2

Direct-labor dollars

Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 * $14 = $280,000

Predetermined overhead rate =  364,000 / $280,000 = $1.3

b. Machine hours

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5 * 11,000 = $500,500

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500

Over-applied overhead = $164,500

Direct-labor hours

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2 * 18,000 = $327,600

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600

Under-applied overhead = $8400

Direct-labor dollars

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours * Actual direct-labor rate * Predetermined overhead rate

Manufacturing overhead applied = 18,000 * $15 * $1.3 = 351,000

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000

Over-applied overhead = $15,000

The calculation is as follows:

we know that

Predetermined overhead rate = Budgeted manufacturing rate ÷ Allocation base

a. Machine hours

= 364,000 ÷8,000

= $45.5

Predetermined overhead rate = $45.5

Direct-labor hours

= 364,000 ÷ 20,000

= $18.2

Predetermined overhead rate = $18.2

Direct-labor dollars

Budgeted labor hours = 20,000 × $14 = $280,000

Predetermined overhead rate =  364,000 ÷ $280,000 = $1.3

b. Machine hours

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual machine hours × Predetermined overhead rate

= $45.5 × 11,000

= $500,500

So,

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 500,500

Over-applied overhead = $164,500

Direct-labor hours

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Predetermined overhead rate

= $18.2 × 18,000

= $327,600

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 327,600

Under-applied overhead = $8400

Direct-labor dollars

Manufacturing overhead applied = Actual direct-labor hours × Actual direct-labor rate × Predetermined overhead rate

= 18,000 × $15 × $1.3

= 351,000

Over/Under applied overhead = 336,000 - 351,000

Over-applied overhead = $15,000

Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?

Answers

Answer:

the company should choose method 1

Explanation:

                                                  Method 1                Method 2

Initial outlay                              $550,000               $830,000

operating costs (years 1,2,3)    $160,000                $120,000

salvage value                            $125,000               $324,000

we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:

method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 =  $853,982

method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

Amy and Mitchell share equally in the profits, losses, and capital of the accrual basis AM Products LLC. The LLC does not need to report financial information to any third parties, so capital accounts are determined using tax rules (rather than GAAP).

Required:
What income, gains, losses, and deductions does Amy report on her income tax return?

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Share of ordinary income:

= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2

= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2

= 400,000/2

= 200,000

Share of net short term capital gain

= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%

= 6,000 × 0.5

= 3,000

Share of interest income

= 4000 × 50%

= 4000 × 0.5

= 2000

Share of charitable contribution deduction

= 4000 × 50%

= 4000 × 0.5

= 2000

Tom and Betsy, who are married filing jointly, reported a standard deduction of $24,000 on their 2018 tax return. They paid $500 to the state for income taxes in 2018. In 2019, they received a $125 refund of state taxes paid in 2018. What is the amount that Tom and Betsy need to report on their 2019 tax return?

Answers

Answer:

$0

Explanation:

Since Tom and Betsy didn't itemize their deductions in 2018 (they chose the standard deduction), they didn't include the state taxes in their tax filing. Since the state taxes were not used by Tom and Betsy to reduce their federal income taxes, then any refund will not be included in their current income. Only if state taxes are used to lower federal taxes, do taxpayers need to include any refund.

What are the five steps to understanding how foreign born labor impacts native born workers?

Answers

Answer:

HOW MUCH DO FOREIGN - BORN WORKERS EARN?

Foreign-born individuals typically earn less than native-born individuals — on average, 83 cents for every dollar earned by their native-born counterparts. That disparity generally holds true across age groups and education levels, with one significant exception. Foreign-born individuals with a bachelor’s degree or more had median weekly earnings of $1,362 per week in 2018, about $53 per week higher than the median for the native-born population with that level of education.

Robert G. Flanders Jr., the state-appointed receiver for Central Falls, RI, said his city's declaration of bankruptcy had proved invaluable in helping it cut costs. Before the city declared bankruptcy, he said, he had found it impossible to wring meaningful concessions out of the city's unions and retirees, who were being asked to give up roughly half of the pensions they had earned as the city ran out of cash.
True or False

Answers

Answer: false

Explanation:

The alternative to the term of agreement is the declaration of bankruptcy, in which the cities can extract their pensions, it gives a much better alternative. It also increases the bargaining powers of the members of the city. It will help in extracting concessions from the government. It also increases the disagreement value of the city.

Composing powerful paragraphs is essential when striving for clear communication. Familiarize yourself with basic paragraph elements, various paragraph patterns, and strategies for building coherence.

Use the following paragraphs to answer the questions that follow.

Paragraph A: Last week, three of our Xcite executives closed a lucrative merger deal with Editionplus. The merger will add more than 500 accounts to our business and will increase our profits by 39 percent in less than a year. Additionally, the executives met with several Editionplus product designers and agreed on three new computer prototypes that we will produce during the next five years. This means we will expand our business to both Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

Paragraph B: Employee reaction has been mixed about our recent plans to expand to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Many Xcite employees are concerned that the Los Angeles site will not have the same relaxed corporate environment as the current site. However, this is not the case: The relaxed corporate environment at the San Francisco site will be replicated in Los Angeles. The culture we have developed works for the company and our employees, and we don't plan to change it. Human resources executives are already interviewing San Francisco employees so they can capture and replicate the culture with ease.

Paragraph C: The leadership at the Xcite San Francisco site has been phenomenal during the last ten years. Everyone in senior-level positions has worked his or her way up the corporate ladder and has contributed greatly to the company's success. This team has increased our profits by 6 percent, expanded office space, hired additional IT support, and strengthened our IT infrastructure. These are just a few of this leadership team's many accomplishments. In the next two months, a new leadership team will be formed for the Los Angeles site. This team will consist of transferred employees from the San Francisco site. We will be offering many of you a chance to be part of this move. Additional training will be required for all who are transferring, and moving costs will not be covered. Xcite looks forward to opening another location with excellent products, high profits, and 100 percent employee and customer satisfaction.

Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. There have been several cost overruns, the project is two weeks beyond its projected finish date, and the technology just isn't working out as planned. Rachel increases the funding for the third time and hires three new designers to help revamp the look of the product. Rachel is engaging in _____.

Answers

Answer: escalation of commitment

Explanation:

Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.

From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

On December 1, year 1, Lester Company issued at 103, four hundred of its 9%, $1,000 bonds. Attached to each bond was one detachable stock warrant entitling the holder to purchase 10 shares of Lester's common stock. On December 1, year 1, the market value of the bonds, without the stock warrants, was 95, and the market value of each stock purchase warrant was $50. The amount of the proceeds from the issuance that should be accounted for as the initial carrying value of the bonds payable would be:______

a. $387,280.
b. $391,400.
c. $400,000.
d. $412,000.

Answers

Answer:

Lester Company

The amount of the proceeds from the issuance that should be accounted for as the initial carrying value of the bonds payable would be:______

c. $400,000.

Explanation:

Bonds issued at 103, 9% $1,000

Number of bonds issued = 400

Face value of bonds = $1,000 * 400 = $400,000

Proceeds from Bonds = $1,030 * 400 = $412,000

Premium from bonds issue = $12,000 ($412,000 - 400,000)

Carrying amount = $400,000

$400,000 is the bonds payable at maturity.  The $12,000 bonds premium will be amortized with the interest expense.  This implies that for the life of the bonds, part of the $12,000 will be deducted from the annual interest expense.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 15% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 67,000 units and transferred 72,500 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 11,500 units in inventory, 85% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.

C) 64,450 materials; 69,550 conversion

D) 77,175 materials; 79,400 conversion

E) 77,175 materials; 76,850 conversion

Answers

Answer:

A) 82,275 materials; 79,400 conversion

Explanation:

Calculation of the Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Raw Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Raw Materials

Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 85%)                                =   9,775

Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%)                      = 72,500

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials   = 82,275

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (11,500 × 60%)                                =   6,900

Completed and Transferred (72,500 × 100%)                      = 72,500

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials   = 79,400

Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:

Units:

Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.

Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.

Required:
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Answers

Answer:

Cost per equivalent unit of material = $2.06

Explanation:

Total cost of material=  Cost of material in beginning WIP +  Cost of material incurred in February  

= $48,000 + $328,050

= $376,050

Equivalent units =  Number of units completed and transferred+  Ending inventory

= 150,000 units + 32,500 units

= 182,500 units

Cost per equivalent unit of material =  Total cost of direct material  / Equivalent units

= $376,050 / 182,500 units

= $2.06
