Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to this question can be defined as follows:

Explanation:

For point a:

Chargeable advantages to social welfare:

[tex]=0.5(\$35000+0.5(\$12000)-\$32000)\\\\ =0.5(9000)\\\\=\$4500[/tex]

Pension benefits etc $35 thousand

Total AGI= [tex]\$39,500[/tex]

For point b:

Additional revenue [tex](\$3,500-\$8,000) = \$27,000[/tex]

Taxable [tex]SSB0.5(27000+\$6000+0.5\times 12000-\$32000)=\$3500[/tex]

AGI = [tex]\$30,500[/tex]

Less: AGI in (a) [tex](\$39,500)[/tex]

Decrease [tex](\$9000)[/tex]

Tax payers' financial income has been down by [tex]\$2000[/tex], but taxable AGI is down by $9,000. The reduction of [tex]\$650(\$2000-\$9000\times 15 \%)[/tex] with a [tex]15\%[/tex]MTR after the tax income.

For point c:

The least of follows [tex]1). \ \ 0.85( \$65000+0.5 \times 12000-\$44000) = \$22950[/tex]

Smaller than that one

Calculated amount with the first formula

Less:

[tex]0.5\times 12000 = \$6000\\\\0.5(\$65000+0.5 \times 12000-\$32000)= \$19500 \ \ or \ \ \$6000\\\\\$22950 +\$6000 = \$28950 \\\\2.0.85 \times 12000 = \$10200[/tex]

That is why Linda and Don have [tex]85\%[/tex]of their gross income from the SSB [tex]\$10200[/tex].

The benefits of social security [tex]\$10200[/tex]

Additional revenues [tex]=\$35000+\$30000 \ \ (addl.inc)= \$ 65000[/tex]

AGI [tex]\$75,200[/tex] 

Less (a) AGI ([tex]\$39,500[/tex])

Increases [tex]\$ 35,700[/tex] 

AGI growth exceeds earnings increases because more SSB is taxed.

On January 1, 2015, Lake Co. purchased a machine for $1,056,000 and calculated depreciation using the straight-line method, with an estimated useful life of eight years, and no salvage value. On January 1, 2018, Lake determined that the machine had a useful life of six years from the date of acquisition, and a salvage value of $96,000. An accounting change was made in 2018 to reflect these data. The accumulated depreciation for this machine should have a balance at December 31, 2018, of ________. Group of answer choices

Answers

Answer:

$584,000

Explanation:

The computation of the accumulated depreciation is shown below:

But before that following calculations need to be determined

Depreciation for 3 years = $1,056,000 ÷ 8 years × 3 years

= $396,000

Now the written down value is

= $1,056,000 - $396,000 - $96,000

= $564,000

For one year it would be

= $564,000 ÷ 3

= $188,000

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= $396,000 + $188,000

= $584,000

On January 1, 2021, Oliver Foods issued stock options for 47,000 shares to a division manager. The options have an estimated fair value of $7 each. To provide additional incentive for managerial achievement, the options are not exercisable unless Oliver Foods' stock price increases by 6% in four years. Oliver Foods initially estimates that it is not probable the goal will be achieved. How much compensation will be recorded in each of the next four years

Answers

Answer:

$82,250

Explanation:

the compensation per year = 47,000 x 1/4 x$7 per stock = $82,250

The compensation must be allocated proportionally to every year included in the plan, regardless of the conditions specified by the plan. The stock price already implicitly includes the most probable market conditions for the company, so that is the price that has to be used to record the compensation plan.

Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and parties.

Explanation:

A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries

Nick prepares food in 8 hours while Beth produces the food in 12 hours. ick thus has an absolute advantage in food preparation because he produces food in less time

A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.

Opportunity cost of Nick in food preparation = 4/8 = 0.5 hours

Opportunity cost of Beth in food preparation = 3 / 12 = 0.25 hours

Nick has a comparative advantage in food preparation

Sawyer Manufacturing Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Last year, the Corporation worked 57,000 actual direct labor-hours and incurred $345,000 of actual manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation had estimated that it would work 55,000 direct labor-hours during the year and incur $330,000 of manufacturing overhead cost. The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:

Answers

Answer:

Underapplied by $3,000

Explanation:

Calculation for what The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:

First step is to calculate the Predetermined Overhead rate

Predetermined Overhead rate=( $ 330,000/ 55,000)

Predetermined Overhead rate= $ 6 per labor hour

Now let calculate the Manufacturing overhead cost

Manufacturing overhead cost= (6 x 57 000)-$345,000

Manufacturing overhead cost=$342,000-$345,000

Manufacturing overhead cost=Underapplied by $3,000

Therefore The Corporation's manufacturing overhead cost for the year was:underapplied by $3,000

Answers

Answer:

1. Why is this an operating lease for Child Company?

The life of the asset is 10 years while the lease is only 3 years long, so it cannot be classified as a financial lease.

2. What are the amounts of the right-of-use asset and lease liability that Child Company should report on its balance sheet at December 31, 20X1?

annual lease payment = $128,000 (ordinary annuity)

PVIFA, 9%, 3 periods = 2.5313

present value = $128,000 x 2.5313 = $324,006.40

3. How much lease expense should Child Company recognize in 20X1?

lease expense = PV of lease x interest rate = $324,006.40 x 9% = $29,160.58

The controller (money manager) for a small company puts some money in a bank account paying 3% per year. He uses some additional money, amounting to 1/3 the amount placed in the bank, to buy bonds paying 4% per year. With the balance of the funds, he buys a 9% certificate of deposit. The first year the investments bring a return of $785. If the total of the investments is $10,000 how much is invested at each rate?​

Answers

Answer:

$1,500 is invested in a bank account paying 3% per year.

$500 is used to buy bonds paying 4% per year.

$8,000 is used to buy 10% certificate of deposit

Explanation:

Let

x = money used to invest in a bank account paying 3% per year

y = money used to buy 10% certificate of deposit

Because the money used to buy bonds (that pays 4% per year) is equal to one-third of the money used to invest in a bank account paying 3% per year,

x/3 = money used to buy bonds (that pays 4% per year)

Because the total investment is $10,000, we add all the variables that represents the amount of money for each investments. So,

(1)

To compute the return of each investment, we change the rate to decimal and multiply it to the amount of investment because the problem only states the return of first year of investment. Then,

0.03x = return from a bank account paying 3% per year

0.04(x/3) = return from a bond paying 4% per year

0.1y = return from 10% certificate of deposit

Since the total return for the first year of investment is $865, we just add the returns of each investment and create the following equation:

Note: In equation (2), we want to have an equation with 3y so that when we subtract equation (1) to equation (2), we only have an equation involving x, which is easier to solve.

By subtracting equation (1) to equation (2),

(4x + 3y) - (1.3x + 3y) = 30,000 - 25,950

2.7x = 4,050

x = $1,500 = amount deposited in a bank account paying 3% per year

So,

x/3 = 1500/3

x/3 = $500 = amount used to buy bonds paying 4% per year

Using the value of x = 1,500 and replacing the value of x in equation (1),

4x + 3y = 30,000

4(1,500) + 3y = 30,000

6,000 + 3y = 30,000

3y = 24,000

y = $8,000 = money used to buy 10% certificate of deposit

To solve the above question, first, we will have to calculate the debtors turnover ratio which is the date sales uncollected for the year. This will be:

= Sales/Average Accounts Receivables

= $612,000 / $70,422

= 8.69 times

Since we are using 365 days for a year, then the firm's days sales uncollected for the year will be calculated as:

= 365 / 8.69

401k is the investment option offered by Jenifer’s employer to her.

What is a 401K plan?

Popularly known as an employer-sponsored retirement plan, a 401(K) plan allows certain eligible employees to make tax-deferred contributions from their pay or compensation, based on pre-established criteria.  A 401(k) match is money put into your account by your employer. Up to a predetermined percentage of your pay, your company will match all or a portion of every dollar you put into your 401(k). Employer matching is a crucial perk of your employment that, over time, can greatly increase your 401(k) retirement savings. The employer contribution is pre-tax, whereas the employee contribution is post-tax.

Employers who offer 401(K) plans are also allowed to include a profit-sharing component in the plan as well as make matching or non-elective payments to the plan on behalf of eligible employees.

The typical 401(k) plan is very versatile and provides close to 25 distinct investment possibilities. The fund fees, which were formerly a significant problem, have been steadily declining, which lessens the strain on employees' retirement funds. In fact, the 401(k) contributions that invested a sizeable sum in these index funds as low cost and low risk methods of engaging in the equity markets are responsible for the index funds' quick surge in popularity in the US, including Vanguard and Blackrock. Employees have access to a low-cost way to invest for the future, and since 401(k) contribution limits are inflation-indexed, participants can gradually make higher contributions.

Employers most frequently match worker contributions up to a percentage of annual income. There are a number possible ways to implement this constraint. Your employer has the option of matching all of your contributions up to a certain percentage of your overall compensation or only a portion of them. The latter circumstance necessitates you to make additional contributions to your plan in order to earn the maximum match, even while the overall cap on employer contributions stays the same.

Imagine that after completing your economics course (you get an A, of course) you are at a family gathering. Your grandmother asks you about a news story she read this morning. The story explained that when the government adjusts Social Security payments for inflation, it generally uses the CPI-W, which is the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers. Because senior citizens spend a lot more than average on medical care, adjustments to their Social Security payments are not keeping up with their cost of living.
Last year I received $15,000 per year from the government. The story said that the CPI increased from 144 to 162. How much will I get this year?

Answers

Answer:

$16,875

Explanation:

The amount received per year is $15,000 and the CPI increased from 144 to 162

Inflation rate = (New CPI - Old CPI)/Old CPI * 100

Inflation rate = 162-144/144 * 100

Inflation rate = 0.125

Inflation rate = 12.5%

Amount received = $15,000 * 12.5% = $1,875

==> $15,000 + $1,875 = $16,875

So, Grandmother will receive $16,875
