Answer:
$2,261
Explanation:
I calculated this tax credit using 2019 information:
household income = $31,000
household income as a % of poverty line = $31,000 / $25,100 = 123.5%
applicable percentage = 4.32%
required contribution = $31,000 x 4.32% = $1,339.20 ≈ $1,339
SLCSP = $3,600
SLCSP - required contribution = $3,600 - $1,339 = $2,261
$2,261 ≤ $2,700 (cost of qualified plan)
we must choose the lower between $2,261 and $2,700 ⇒ $2,261

Assuming that the price elasticity of demand for slinkys (slinkys are a metal spring-like children's toy) is 2, an increase in the price of slinkys of 15% would result in (for slinkys) ___________a. an increase in the quantity supplied of 30%b. a decrease in demand of 30%c. a decrease in the quantity demanded of 7.5%d. a decrease in the quantity demanded of 30%
Answer: d. a decrease in the quantity demanded of 30%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of a good is used to measure the magnitude of change in the quantity demanded of the good as a result of a change in price.
Price elasticity = Change in Quantity demanded / Change in Price
2 = Change in quantity demanded / 15%
Change in Quantity demanded = 2 * 15% = 30%
The elasticity is listed as positive but is supposed to be negative even though this can cause confusion. Normal goods are assumed to have a negative elasticity so unless stated otherwise, assume elasticity is negative.
This is why the change is a decrease in quantity demanded.
Anna Garden recently opened her own basketweaving studio. She sells finished baskets in addition to selling the raw materials needed by customers to weave baskets of their own. Unfortunately, owing to space limitations, Anna is unable to carry all varieties of kits originally assembled and must choose between two basic packages.
The Basic Kit includes undyed, uncut reeds (with dye included) for weaving one basket. This basic package costs Anna $16 and sells for $30. The second kit, called Stage 2, includes cut reeds that have already been dyed. With this kit the customer need only soak the reeds and weave the basket. Anna produces the Stage 2 kit by using the materials included in the Basic Kit. Because she is more efficient at cutting and dying reeds than her average customer, Anna is able to produce two Stage 2 kits in one hour from one Basic Kit. (She values her time at $18 per hour.) The Stage 2 kit sells for $36.
Prepare an incremental analysis for Anna's basket weaving studio.
Answer:
Stage 1 kit Stage 2 kit Differential amount
Selling price $30 $36 $6
Materials cost ($16) ($16) $0
per unit
Additional labor $0 $18/2 = ($9) ($9)
cost per unit
Contribution margin $14 $11 ($3)
per unit
Anna will lose $3 for every Stage 2 kit that she sells. Only if he is able to sell a much higher quantity of Stage 2 kits would it be worth it, but under current conditions Anna should focus on selling Stage 1 kits.
A tax system in which the tax rate on everyone's first $10,000 of income is 10 percent, the tax rate on everyone's second $10,000 of income is 15 percent, and the tax rate on all income over $20,000 is 25 percent is a(n):
Answer:
The appropriate response is "Progressive tax".
Explanation:
Progressive taxation appears to mean that the tax rate is higher for increased organizations as well as lower for low-income communities. Whenever the taxable income leads to higher, the above tax rate tends to increase. The approximately equal tax rate would be taxation that is set regardless including its up or down in tax liability.So that above is the correct answer.
Because in many industries the cost of generating new ideas is so high, firms must charge a price ________ cost.a. equal to the marginalb. higher than the marginalc. lower than the marginald. equal to the average fixede. lower than the average fixed
Answer:
B. higher than the marginal
Explanation:
Marginal cost can be defined as the additional or extra cost that is being incurred by a company as a result of the production of an additional unit of a product or service.
Generally, marginal cost can be calculated by dividing the change in production costs by the change in level of output or quantity.
Because in many industries the cost of generating new ideas is so high, firms must charge a price higher than marginal cost in order to maximize profits or increase the amount of profits generated.
Rent expense in Volusia Company's 2016 income statement is $420,000. If Prepaid Rent was $70,000 at December 31, 2015, and is $95,000 at December 31, 2016, the cash paid for rent during 2016 is:_________
Answer:
$445,000
Explanation:
The rent in Volusian company income statement for 2016 is $420,000
The prepaid rent is $70,000 at December 31 2015 and $95,000 at December 31 2016

Last year there was no change in either the raw materials or the work in process beginning and ending inventories. However, finished goods, which had a beginning balance of $25,000, increased by $15,000. If the manufacturing costs incurred totaled $600,000 during the year, the cost of goods available for sale must have been:_______.
a. $585,000
b. $600,000
c. $610,000
d. $625,000
Answer:
d. $625,000
Explanation:
cost of goods available for sale = cost of goods manufactured during the current period + finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period
cost of goods manufactured during the current period = $600,000finished goods inventory at the beginning of the period = $25,000cost of goods available for sale = $600,000 + $25,000 = $625,000
cost of goods sold = cost of goods available for sale - ending inventory = $625,000 - $40,000 = $585,000
Use the information for the question(s) below. Rosewood Industries has EBIT of $450 million, interest expense of $175 million, and a corporate tax rate of 35% If Rosewood had no interest expense, its net income would be closest to:___________ a. $430 million b. $160 million c. $290 million d. $405 million
Answer:
$180 million
Explanation:
Net income is calculated as;
= (EBIT - Interest expense)(1 - tax)
Given that;
EBIT = $450 million
Interest expense = $175 million
Tax = 35%
Net income = (450 - 175)(1 - 0.35)
Net income = (275)(0.65)
Net income = $178.75
Net income = $180 million approximated.
Rosewood's net income is closest to $180 million.
An optimal procedure for organizations to accept projects is to specify a return on investment (ROI) and fund only projects that meet this criterion. A. True B. False
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Capital budgeting is needed in any project work as it entails the process and procedures taken in evaluation and selection of long-term investments that are consistent with the firm's goal of maximizing owner's wealth.
Normally, before a company invest or undergo any project, background work is done to know if the project will yet profit or no, feasibility study is carried out and things are put in place. If it is favourable for the firm and profit is high, firms may choose to invest after weighing the pros and cons (advantage and disadvantage) of the project before investment. So return of investment initial investment is not really considered when taking up a project as all project is done at their own risk.
Compute the standard cost for one hat, based on the following standards for each that:_______. Standard material: 3/4 yard of fabric at $5.00 per yard Standard labor: 2 hours at $5.75 per hour Factory overhead: $3.20 per direct labor hourRound your answer to two decimal places. Total standard cost $______
Answer:
$21.65
Explanation:
Computation for the Total standard cost
Using this formula
Total standard cost = Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead cost
Let plug in the formula
Total standard cost = 3/4*5 + 2*5.75 + 3.2*2
Total standard cost= $21.65
Therefore the Total standard cost will be $21.65

Explanation:
Credit Losses Based on Accounts Receivable At December 31, Schuler Company had a balance of $364,900 in its Accounts Receivable account and a credit balance of $4,200 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account. The accounts receivable T-account consisted of $370,000 in debit balances and $5,100 in credit balances. The company aged its accounts as follows:
Current $303,000
0-60 days past due 42,000
61-180 days past due 17,000
Over 180 days past due 8,000
$370,000
In the past, the company has experienced credit losses as follows: 1% of current balances, 5% of balances 0-60 days past due, 15% of balances 61-180 days past due, and 40% of balances over six months past due. The company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on an aging analysis of accounts receivable.
Required:
a. Prepare the adjusting entry to record the allowance for doubtful accounts for the year.
b. Show how Accounts Receivable (including the credit balances) and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts would appear on the December 31 balance sheet.
Answer:
a. First calculate the adjusting entry to record allowance.
Uncollectible for the year is;
= (303,000 * 1%) + (42,000 * 5%) + (17,000 * 15%) + (8,000 * 40%)
= $10,880
Adjusting entry = Uncollectable amount - Credit balance on allowance
= 10,880 - 4,200
= $6,680
DR Bad Debt Expense $6,680
CR Allowance for Doubtful accounts $6,680
b.
Current Assets:
Accounts Receivable $370,000
Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts ($10,880)
$359,120
Current Liabilities
Customers Overpayments $5,100
The current liability above arises from the credit balance of $5,100 in the Accounts receivable account. Accounts Receivable should have a debit balance so if a credit balance occurs it is an overpayment by a customer.

As an independent student Sally borrowed $4,000 her first semester of college through an Unsubsidized Stafford loan at 6.8% APR, compounded monthly. After her first semester, Sally was able to work her way through school and she graduated three years later without any additional loans. Since Sally did not make any loan payments while she was in school, what is her loan balance upon graduation? a) $4,000.00 b) $4,902.36 c) $7,869.48 d) $7,834.82
Answer:
CPT FV=4902.3689
Explanation:
By using financial calculator:
Given:
PMT = $0
PV = $4,000
N = 12x3 = 36 times
I/Y = 6.8% / 12
By using excel formulas
=FV(6.8%/12,12*3,0,4000)
Future value = $4,902.3689
CPT FV=4902.3689
The price of cups increased from $3.75 to $4.05 and the quantity demanded of plates decreased from 4,950 to 4,450. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand for plates. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:Cross elasticity of demand = -1.25
Explanation:
Cross elasticity of demand= Per entage change in quantity of commodity A (plates)/ Percentage change in price of commodity B(cups)
Percentage change in quantity demanded for plates = (New quantity - old quantity/ old quantity ) x 100
={ (4450-4950)/4950] ×100
=-500/4950
= - 0.10×100= - 10%
Percentage change in price of cups =(New price - old price/ old price) x 100 [(4.05-3.75)/3.75]×100
=0.3/ 3.75
= 0.08×100= 8%
Cross price elasticity of demand = - 10%/8%
= - 1.25
Here, the cross elasticity of demand for these goods of cups and plates is negative(-1.25) showing that they are complementary goods since as the price for cups increases, the demand for plates decreased.
Betz Company's sales budget shows the following projections for next year:
Sales in Units: 1st Quarter = 60,000; 2nd Quarter = 80,000; 3rd Quarter = 45,000; 4th Quarter = 55,000
Inventory at the beginning of the year was 18,000 units. The finished goods inventory at the end of each quarter is to equal 30% of the next quarter's budgeted unit sales. How many units should be produced during the first quarter?
a) 24,000
b) 48,000
c) 66,000
d) 72,000
Answer:
c) 66,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How many units should be produced during the first quarte
Using this formula
Amount of Units produced = Ending inventory + Units sold + Beginning inventory
Let plug in the formula
Amount of Units produced= (30% × 80,000) + 60,000 − 18,000
Amount of Units produced= 24,000 + 60,000 − 18,000
Amount of Units produced=$66,000
Therefore the units that should be produced during the first quarter will be $66,000
estimated cost: a. managers use to make decisions about the future b. find a right price c. is not useful for
Answer:
managers use to make decisions about the future
Explanation:
Estimated cost is the cost that is projected to be incurred by a business when undertaking a project, program, or operation.
It comprises of the list of expenses that will be spent on an activity in the future.
Therefore it is used by managers to decide on the best activity to undertake in the future.
Usually the activity that has the lowest cost is balanced against the required quality.
Scubapro Corporation currently has 500,000 shares of common stock outstanding and plans to issue 200,000 more shares in a seasoned equity offering. The current shareholders have pre-emptive rights on any new issues of common stock by Scubapro Corporation. How many shares would an investor who currently has 20,000 shares, have the right to buy if she exercises her pre-emptive right?A) 200,000 shares.
B) 120,000 shares.
C) 20,000 shares.
D) 12,000 shares.
E) 8,000 shares.
Answer:
Scubapro Corporation
The investor who currently has 20,000 shares has the right to buy this number of shares, if she exercises her preemptive right:
E) 8,000 shares.
Explanation:
Data and Calculations:
Outstanding common stock = 500,000
Planned issue of additional shares = 200,000
Proportion of new issue to outstanding = 0.40 (200,000/500,000)
For an investor with 20,000 shares, she has the right to buy 8,000 (20,000 * 0.40) additional shares.
In an appearance on Shark Tank, the owner of a wedding runner company wanted to pursue a strategy of _____ and make her runners affordable to the public. The sharks suggested she should pursue a strategy of ______, focusing on quality and uniqueness.a. differentiation; cost leadershipb. unrelated diversification; related diversificationc. cost leadership; differentiationd. focused retrenchment; growthe. related diversification; unrelated diversification
Answer:
c. cost leadership; differentiation
Explanation:
Remember, we are told that the owner wants to make her runners affordable to the public, and we agree that affordability is only possible when there is cost leadership. Cost leadership strategy simply implies that the company's products/services are positioned to be the cheapest in comparison with other competitors.
To specifically focus on quality and uniqueness, the sharks were asking the owner to pursue the differentiation strategy. Differentiation strategy requires having features that set your product or service apart from others such as quality and uniqueness.

Explanation:
Generally, when you are dealing with property rights and any damages that occur to real property, the individual that possesses the oldest structure can sue other individuals that damage his/her structure by building or developing a new one.
E.g. in many cities, buildings or even homes tend to be built right next to other homes or buildings (specially in down town areas). If you are building a house right next to an existing house and the walls are damaged because because you dug to build a basement, then you are responsible and liable for the damages even if you never invaded the other property.
ABC Corp. received a 3-month, 8% per year, $1, 500 note receivable on December 1. The adjusting entry on December 31 will include a:___________ a) debit to interest Revenue of $10 b) credit to interest Receivable of $20 c) credit to interest Revenue of $30 d) debit to interest Receivable of $10
Answer:
Option D is the correct answer.
d) debit to interest Receivable of $10
Explanation:
Under the accrual basis or principle of accounting, we match the revenue with the expenses and record the transactions in the period to which they relate to rather than when the cash is paid or received. This means that the interest receivable that is accrued for time period relating to this year should be recorded as a revenue in the current period and as an asset under interest receivable as it will be received in the next period.
Thus, the interest on the note relating to 1 month of December will be recorded as follows,
Interest Revenue = 1500 * 0.08 * 1/12 = 10

asset turnover ratio = net sales / average assets = $336,329 / [($387,891 + $432,000)/2] = $336,329 / $409,945.50 = 0.82
3. The equity multiplier is 1.7 times.
equity multiplier = average total assets / average total equity = $409,945.50 / [($205,936 + $275,000)/2] = $409,945.50 / $240,468 = 1.70
4. Using the Du Pont Identity, the company's ROE is 18.68% percent.
ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x equity multiplier (or financial leverage) = 0.134 x 0.82 x 1.7 = 0.1868 = 18.68%
