Jeremy Ortiz is an employee of Insulor Flooring, where his job responsibilities include selling service contracts to customers. Jeremy is single with two withholding allowances. He receives an annual salary of $36,000 and receives a 3 percent commission on all sales. During the semimonthly pay period ending September 29, 20XX, Jeremy sold $20,000 of service contracts.
Required:
Complete the payroll register for the September 29 pay period.
Answer:
Pay recorded for September 29 is $2,100
Explanation:
Jeremy Ortiz is paid based on two sources of income. The first being the annual salary of $36,000 and the second is the commission on all the service contracts sold, which is 3%.
Since the pay period is of semimonthly (15 days), the annual salary would be divided by 24 instead of the regular 12 months. This would mean that salary of $1,500 ($36,000 / 24) would be recorded in the payroll register.
For the commission, the sales done during this semimonthly period was $20,000 of service contracts. The commission at 3% of all sales would be $600 ($20,000 x 3%).
Total pay recorded in the payroll register for the September 29 period would be $2,100 ($1,500 + $600).
Sandhill Co. purchased a new machine on October 1, 2022, at a cost of $67,560. The company estimated that the machine has a salvage value of $6,900. The machine is expected to be used for 72,200 working hours during its 6-year life. Compute the depreciation expense under the straight-line method for 2022 and 2023, assuming a December 31 year-end. (Round
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Purchase price= $67,560
Salvage value= $6,900
Useful life= 6 years
To calculate the depreciation expense under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (67,560 - 6,900) / 6
Annual depreciation= $10,110
2022:
Annual depreciation= (10,110/12)*3= $2,527.5
2023:
Annual depreciation= $10,110

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $7 million. The installment receivable account at year-end 2021 had a balance of $8 million (representing portions of 2020 and 2021 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2022 and 2023. Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2021. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2021 and 2022. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2020 at a cost of $112 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):
Answer:
1. Taxable income = $76 million
2. Net income = $65.25 million
3-a. Net current Deferred Tax Asset = $1.95 million
3-b. Net current Deferred Tax Liability = $6.25 million
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.
The explanation of the answers I now provided as follows:
1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry.
1-a. Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021 and the taxable income.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Taxable income = $76 million
1-b. The journal entries will look as follows:
Details Debit ($'m) Credit ($'m)
Tax expense (6.75 + 19 - 3) 22.75
Deferred tax asset (25% * (1 + 13 - 2)) 3.00
Deferred tax liability (25% * (7 + 20)) 6.75
Tax payable (25% * 76) 19.00
(To record tax expense.)
2. What is the 2021 net income?
This can be determined as follows:
Net income = Pretax accounting income - Tax expense = $88 million - $ 22.75 million = $65.25 million
3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2021 balance sheet.
3-a. The deferred tax amounts should be classified as follows.
From installment receivable in point (a) in the question:
Current deferred tax liability in 2022 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
Noncurrent deferred tax liability in 2023 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1
From the depreciation in point (c.) in the question:
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25%* ((24 + 24) - (14 + 7))) = $6.75
From the Warranty Expense/Payable in point (d.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (40%* 3) = $1.20
From the Acrrued Expense/Payable in point (e.) of the question:
Current deferred tax asset (25%* 7) = $1.75
Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25% * $6) = $1.50
3-b. These will be reported reported in the 2021 balance sheet as follows:

In the free enterprise system, or market economy, individuals are responsible for
being informed and making careful decisions.
True of False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Free Enterprise system or market economy is where the individuals have the chance to make decisions on their own. This means that there are no government restrictions.
In this type of economy, the desires of the consumers and the profit-making goals of the producers help in determining what will be produced. In the same manner, the decision on how to produce will be determined by the Labour and the management.
To sum it up, this system allows the individual to decide on the purchasing of goods, the selling of the product, the hiring of Labour, and the type of structure they want to work on, giving them full freedom and responsibility to make decisions.
On January 1, 2020, Commonwealth Inc. leases equipment to Tap Inc. The equipment has a fair value of $156,000, a carrying value of $80,000, an economic life of four years, and a lease term of three years. Commonwealth's incremental borrowing rate is 10% and there is a purchase option at the end of the lease of $10,000 that is reasonably expected to be executed by Tap at that time. The annual lease payment is $33,809.39, with the first payment due immediately on January 1, 2020. What is the amount of interest revenue recognized in 2020 by Commonwealth Inc.
Answer: $12,219
Explanation:
Interest revenue for 2020:
= Carrying value * Borrowing rate
Carrying value at end of 2020:
= Fair value - Lease payment
= 156,000 - 33,809.39
= $122,190.61
Interest = 10% * 122,190.61
= $12,219

Clark Company estimated the net realizable value of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019, to be $170,000, based on an aging schedule of accounts receivable. Clark has also provided the following information: The accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 was $181,000. Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019 totaled $12,500. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 was $16,000. How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
Answer:
$7,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
First step is to calculate the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance=
$181,000-$170,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance=$11,000
Second step is to calculate the amount to be written off
Written off=$16,000-$12,500
Written off=-$3,500
Now let calculate the bad debt expense
Bad debt expense=$11,000-$3,500
Bad debt expense=$7,500
Therefore How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense is $7,500
Harmon Inc, manufactures two products from a joint process, product A and product B. A standard production run incurs joint costs of $45,000 and results in 1,500 units of product A and 2,500 units of product B. Product A sells for $50.00 per unit and Product B sells for $20.00 per unit. Assuming that no further processing occurs after the split-ff point, how much of the joint costs are allocated to Product A and B using the physical measure method
Answer:
Harmon Inc.
Joint costs of $45,000 allocated to:
Product A = $16,875
Product B = $28,125
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Joint costs of a standard production run = $45,000
Joint products Product A Product B Total
Production units 1,500 2,500 4,000
Selling price per unit $50 $20
Allocation of joint costs based on physical measure method:
Product A = $16,875 (1,500/4,000 * $45,000)
Product B = $28,125 (2,500/4,000 * $45,000)
b) Joint costs of $45,000 were incurred by Product A and Product B jointly because they consumed the same resources during the production run. These costs can be allocated to the products based on established criteria, for example, units of products and sales value. The purpose is to properly account for the joint costs at split-off.

Gull Corp. is considering selling its old popcorn machine and replacing it with a newer one. The old machine has a book value of $5,000, and its remaining useful life is five years. Annual costs are $4,000. A high school is willing to buy it for $2,000. New equipment would cost $18,000 with annual operating costs of $1,500. The new machine has an estimated useful life of five years.
Should the machine be replaced?
Proposal to Replace Equipment
Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment $
Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment
Annual Differential Decrease in Cost $
Number of Years Applicable
Total Differential Decrease in Cost $
Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment $
Cost of New Equipment
Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment $
Answer: No. The machine shouldn't be replaced.
Explanation:
Proposal to Replace Equipment
Annual Variable Costs - Present Equipment = $4000
Less: Annual Variable Costs - New Equipment = $1500
Annual Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500
Number of Years Applicable = 5
Total Differential Decrease in Cost = $2500 × 5 = $12500
Proceeds from Sales of Present Equipment = $2000
Cost of New Equipment = $8000
Annual Net Differential Increase in Cost - New Equipment = $18000 - $2000 = $16000
The machine shouldn't be replaced as the total differential decrease in cost is less than the annual net differential increase in cost of the new equipment.
The economy is in long-run equilibrium. Technological change shifts the long-run aggregate supply curve $120 billion to the right. At the same time, government purchases increase by $30 billion. If the MPC equals 0.8 and the crowding-out effects are $30 billion, we would expect that in the long run. (C)
a. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be lower
b. both real GDP and the price level would be lower
c. real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
d. both real GDP and the price level would be higher
Answer:
C. Real GDP would be higher but the price level would be the same
Explanation:
Real gdp would get to be higher as long run aggregate supply goes up. Prices would go down because as long run aggregate supply goes up, aggregate demand does not experience the same proportional increase. As long run aggregate supply goes up, short run aggregate supply falls backwards.

Suppose you are a manager of a firm that operates in a duopoly. Recently, the state attorney general fined you and your competitor for price fixing. In your market, firms only set prices, not total quantities to sell. From previous experience, you know your competitor has a marginal cost of $ 6.72 . Further, your marginal costs are $ 6.70 . The previous cartel price was $10.00, when you and your competitor were price fixing.
Required:
What price level do you now choose to maximize profits?
Answer: The price level chosen to maximize profits will be $ 6.71
Explanation:
Whenever there is price fixing between two competitors, and one of the competitor decides to choose a price level. Such competitor must ensure that the price level chosen to maximize profit does not exceed his or her competitor's marginal cost but can be above his or her marginal cost .
Since the price fixing is $10 from previous cartel price so the best price level to maximize the profit would be less than my rival's price of $ 6.72 and more than my marginal cost of $ 6.70 which is $ 6.71

Joao's Java Jungle sells cups of coffee. Joao pays each of his workers $50 per day while incurring a fixed cost of $100 and a variable input cost of $0.20 per cup of coffee for beans, cream, sugar, and paper cups. What is Joao's total cost per day when he does not hire any workers and does not produce any cups of coffee?
Answer:
Total cost= $100
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Joao pays each of his workers $50 per day while incurring a fixed cost of $100 and a variable input cost of $0.20 per cup of coffee for beans, cream, sugar, and paper cups.
If he does not hire any workers and does not sell a single cup of coffee, his total cost equals his fixed cost.
Total cost= $100
