Answers

Answer 1

Answer: C) Without an anonymous reporting system, the company does not meet the minimum requirements for the protections of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, it should be noted that since there's no anonymous reporting system, the minimum requirements for the protections of Federal Sentencing Guidelines isn't met by the company.

The Federal Sentencing Guidelines simply refers to the rules that with regards to the uniform policy through which the individuals and the organizations that have been convicted of felonies and every other misdemeanors are set up. In this case, the requirements hasn't been met since there is no anonymous reporting system.

How to account for this $45,000? I think, this could be as Salary or dividend.
When Scott and Allison are in the store, they are the only ones who operate the register. Scott admits that, because he is in too much of a hurry, he sometimes puts the cash in his pocket rather than take the time to ring up the sale. Having cash in hand allows him to pay his babysitter and other personal expenses. Though it was difficult for him to be certain, Scott estimated that transactions worth about $45,000 each year have been handled in this way. Scott confirmed that he has not filed a personal tax return since he started GPP because he has not taken a salary.

Answers

Answer:

Scott should file Personal tax return since he is running his expenses through the money he takes in hand.

Explanation:

Scott will have to file the tax return because he is taking $45,000 as a salary. It does not matter that the salary is run through bank account or through cash but personal tax return filing is necessary. He uses the money to fund his routine expenses and this is to be reported in personal tax filing.

At the beginning of 2021, Terra Lumber Company purchased a timber tract from Boise Cantor for $3,510,000. After the timber is cleared, the land will have a residual value of $720,000. Roads to enable logging operations were constructed and completed on March 30, 2021. The cost of the roads, which have no residual value and no alternative use after the tract is cleared, was $279,000. During 2021, Terra logged 620,000 of the estimated 6.2 million board feet of timber.Required:Calculate the 2021 depletion of the timber tract and depreciation of the logging roads assuming the units-of-production method is used for both assets. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter values in whole dollars.)

Answers

Answer:

A. $279,000

B. $27,900

Explanation:

A. Calculation for 2021 depletion of the timber tract

2021 Depletion=[($3,510,000 - $720,000) / 6.2 million] *$620,000

2021 Depletion=0.45x 620,000

2021 Depletion= $279,000

Therefore 2021 depletion of the timber tract is $279,000

B. Calculation to determine the depreciation of the logging roads

Depreciation=($279,000 / 6.2 million)*$620,000 Depreciation= 0.073*$620,000

Depreciation= $27,900

Therefore the depreciation of the logging roads is $27,900

actual hours 250 maunfaturing varience 0

Answers

Answer:

A. 980 unfavorable

B. 300 favorable

C. 62.50 unfavorable

D. 0

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine June’s direct material price variance

Using this formula

Direct material price variance=Actual quantity(Standard price -Actual price)

Let plug in the formula

Direct material price variance=490 ($32 - $30) Direct material price variance=980 U

B. Calculation to determine June’s direct material efficiency variance

Using this formula

Direct material efficiency variance=Standard price (Actual quantity-Standard quality)

Let plug in the formula

Direct material efficiency variance=$30 (490 – 500)

Direct material efficiency variance= 300 F

C. Calculation to determine June’s direct labor rate variance

Using this formula

Direct labor rate variance=standard hours(actual rate -standard rate )

Let plug in the formula

Direct labor rate variance =250 dlh ($15.25 - $15.00)

Direct labor rate variance = $62.50 U

D. Calculation to determine June’s direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance

Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance=[250 dlh - (5,000 x 0.05)] x $15

Direct manufacturing labor efficiency variance = 0

Answers

Answer:

Project A

NPV = $91,771.53

PI = 1.53

Project B

NPV = $79,390.69

PI = 1.52

Project A should be chosen because it has the higher NPV

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.  

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator  

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.  

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Project A

Cash flow in year 0 = $ (174,325)  

Cash flow in year 1 = 41,000

Cash flow in year 2 =  60,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 72,295

Cash flow in year 4 = 87,400

Cash flow in year 5 = 59,000

I =  6%

NPV = $91,771.53

Project B

Cash flow in year 0 = (152,960 )

Cash flow in year 1 = 44,000

Cash flow in year 2 =  53,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 68,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 81,000

Cash flow in year 5 = 30,000

I =  6%

NPV = $ $79,390.69

profitability index = 1 + (NPV / Initial investment)

Project A = 1 +( $91,771.53  /$174,325) = 1.53

Project B = 1 + ( $79,390.69 / 152,960 = 1.52

In the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $82,000. During the year, Dinty wrote off $32,000 of accounts receivable it had attempted to collect and failed. Credit sales for the year were $2,200,000, and cash collections from credit customers totaled $1,950,000. What accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet?

Answers

Answer:

$218,000

Explanation:

Account receivable balance = Credit sales - Cash collection - Wrote-offs

Account receivable balance = $2,200,000 - $1,950,000 - $32,000

Account receivable balance = $218,000

So, the accounts receivable balance would Dinty report in its first year-end balance sheet is $218,000

Consumer surplus = Total quantity demanded at consumer's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price

Producer surplus = Total quantity supplied at supplier's price minus equilibrium quantity * equilibrium price

Change value at consumer surplus = $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000)

Change value at producer surplus = $-3,000 ($1,000 - $4,000)

Total welfare before trade = $8,000 ($4,000 + $4,000)

Total welfare after trade = $10,000 ($9,000 + $1,000)

The net gain from free international trade is the difference between the total welfare value after trade and before trade = $2,000 ($10,000 - $8,000)

How do you do this journal entry for accounting?
- Now record the estimated cost of the returns. Estimated sales returns of $1,040, with cost of $333.

Answers

Answer:

Journal Entries:

1. Debit Sales Returns & Allowance $1,040

Credit Accounts Receivable $1,040

To record the estimated cost of returns.

2. Debit Inventory $333

Credit Cost of goods sold $333

To record the estimated cost of the goods returned.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

1. Sales returns and Allowances $1,040 Accounts receivable $1,040

2. Inventory $333 Cost of goods sold $333

The first journal entry records the estimated returns to be made by the customers by debiting the Sales returns account (a contra account to the sales revenue account).  The corresponding credit entry in the Accounts receivable shows that a part of the accounts has been cancelled as a result of the estimated sales returns.

The second journal entry records the estimated cost of the goods to be returned by debiting the Inventory account and crediting the Cost of goods sold account.  This cancels earlier records.

Hubert lives in San Diego and runs a business that sells boats. In an average year, he receives $851,000 from selling boats. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $476,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $281,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $71,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Hubert does not operate this boat business, he can work as an accountant, receive an annual salary of $34,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $71,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this boat business.

Identify each of Bob's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling boats.

a. The salary Bob could earn if he worked as an accountant
b. The wholesale cost for the boats that Bob pays the manufacturer
c. The rental income Bob could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
d. The wages and utility bills that Bob pays

Answers

Answer:

(a). Implicit cost

(b) Explicit cost

(c)  Implicit cost

(d)  Explicit cost

Explanation:

Implicit cost are the cost which a person can earn in a period.

Explicit cost are the cost which a person pays in same period for other work.

So by this, we can clearly determine explicit and implicit cost for the following statements.

(a). Implicit cost (Because salary is an earning for Bob.)

(b) Explicit cost ( Because Bob pays an amount for different work)

(c)  Implicit cost (Because rental is an earning for Bob.)

(d)  Explicit cost ( Because Bob pays an amount for wages and utility)

The Smith family wants to relocate to a neighborhood with better schools before their three-year-old goes to kindergarten. They talked with Byron about properties he has for sale in neighborhoods they would like to live in. They also mentioned to Byron that they both work and may need someone to help with in-home care for their child. Byron gave them Taylor’s name to call about childcare. The Smiths also said they were having a hard time getting loan approval, so Byron suggested that they call Travis. Which best describes the jobs performed by Byron, Taylor, and Travis?

a) Byron is a Customer Service Representative, Taylor is a Child Care Worker, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.

b) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Loan Counselor.

c) Byron is a Real Estate Manager, Taylor is a Preschool Teacher, and Travis is a Customer Service Representative.

d) Byron is a Home Counselor, Taylor is a Nanny, and Travis is a Property Manager.

Answers

Answer:

the correct answer is B)

Explanation:

Given that they spoke to Byron about properties that he wants to sell, that means he is a Real Estate Manager. Taylor came up because they needed in-home care. That makes Taylor a Nanny because Nannies are professionals who take care of babies in their own homes.

Loan counselors have no other major business besides advising people on issues relating to taking up a loan. Therefore that makes Travis a loan Counselor.

WellWheats, Inc. produces breakfast cereal and sells each box, or unit, for $7. The company is projecting sales of 1,000 units for the month of March. There are 30 units in the beginning inventory. Each unit requires 20 ounces of raw materials and 0.20 direct labor hours to make. The company's policy is to keep ending finished goods inventory of 10% of the current month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for the month have been budgeted at $2,000. If the direct labor cost per hour is $0.75, calculate the budgeted direct labor cost for the month of March.
A. $214.00
B. $160.50
C. $802.50
D. $236.00

Answers

Answer:

b. . $160.50

Explanation:

Projected Sales 1,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 10%*1,000 = 100 units

Beginning Inventory = 30 units

Required production = Projected Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning Inventory

Required production = 1,000 units + (10%*1,000 units) - 30 units

Required production = 1,000 units + 100 units - 30 units

Required production = 1,070 units

Labor hours per unit = 0.20

Cost per labor hour = $0.75

Budgeted labor cost for March = Required production*Labor hours per unit*Cost per labor hour

Budgeted labor cost for March = 1,070 units*$0.20*$0.75

Budgeted labor cost for March = $160.50

Hence, the budgeted labor cost for March is $160.50.

You have collected data for the 50 U.S. states and estimated the following relationship between the change in the unemployment rate from the previous year and the growth rate of the respective state real GDP ​(​). The results are as​ follows: ​

Δur= (0.12) -(0.04)x gy, R2= 0.36, SER= 0.78

Assuming that the estimator has a normal​ distribution, the​ 95% confidence interval for the slope is approximately the​ interval:

a. [-0.31, 0.15]
b. [2.57, 3.05 ]
c. [-0.33, - 0.13]
d. [-0.13, -0.15]

Answers

Answer:

[ -0.13, -0.15 ]  ( D )

Explanation:

Given data :

sample size ( n ) = 50

Independent variable ( p ) = 1

determine the confidence interval for the slope

Df ( degree of freedom ) = n - p - 1 = ( 50 - 1 - 1 ) = 48

b ( estimated slope ) = -0.23

Standard error of slope = 0.04

confidence interval = 95%

For confidence interval of 95% and Df of 48 ; critical value ( t ) = 2.011

∴ Confidence interval

= -0.23  ±  ( 2.011 * 0.04)

= -0.23 ± 0.08044

=  [ -0.13, -0.15 ]

Answers

Answer:

The amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.

Therefore, the correct answer is b.$12,900.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Jordan Johnson is single and has adjusted gross income of $50,000 in the current year. Additional information is as follows:

State income taxes paid $2,000

Mortgage interest on her personal residence 9,000

Points paid on purchase of her personal residence 1,000

Deductible contributions to her IRA 3,000

Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) 6,000

Tax preparation fees for her prior year income tax return 400

What amount may Jordan claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return?

a.$12,000

b.$12,900

c.$13,300

d.$15,900

b. $12,900.

Explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The allowable deduction for personal casualty loss that occurs in a Federal disaster area has a limit to the amount by which it is higher than $100 floor and 10% of AGI which is calculated as follows:

Uninsured realized casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) - $100 = $6,000 - $100 = $5,900

Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $5,900 - ($50,000 * 10%) = $900

Therefore, we have:

Itemized deductions for the current year = State income taxes paid + Mortgage interest on her personal residence + Points paid on purchase of her personal residence + Deductible uninsured realized personal casualty loss (in a Federal disaster area) = $2,000 + $9,000 + $1,000 + $900 = $12,900

Therefore, the amount Jordan may claim as itemized deductions on her current-year income tax return is $12,900.

The correct answer is b.$12,900.

Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would Multiple Choice increase productivity and increase aggregate supply. decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand. increase the prices of imported resources and decrease aggregate supply. decrease the supply of money and decrease aggregate demand.

Answers

Answer:

Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would:

decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand.

Explanation:

The immediate effect of an appreciation of U.S. dollars is the decrease of net exports to other countries because the importers will find that importing goods from the U.S. is more expensive than importing from some other countries.  This drop caused by decreased exports also decreases aggregate demand of U.S. goods.  Therefore, excess inventory of U.S. goods in producers' warehouses will result, thus, reducing national productivity and GDP.

Other things equal, an appreciation of the U.S. dollar would decrease net exports and decrease aggregate demand. Thus, Option (B) is correct.

When the U.S. dollar appreciates, it becomes stronger compared to other currencies. This means that goods and services produced in the United States become relatively more expensive for foreign buyers.

As a result, U.S. exports become less competitive in the international market, leading to a decrease in the quantity of goods and services exported. A decline in exports reduces the net exports component of aggregate demand, as net exports are the difference between exports and imports.

A decrease in net exports directly contributes to a decrease in aggregate demand, as aggregate demand is the sum of consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports.

Thus, Option (B) accurately describes what happens when there is an appreciation of the U.S. dollar.

A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in:
A) increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run.
B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand
C) Increase in long run aggregate supply and a rightward shift in aggregate demand
D) A leftward shift in short run aggregated supply
E) Decrease aggregate demand and increase short run aggregate supply​

Answers

Answer:

B) Increase in short run aggregate supply and in aggregate demand

Explanation:

In the case when there is a rise in  the government spending  so it would be increases aggregate demand. As AD curve shifts to the rightward, that rise the level of the price and increase in GDP.

On the other hand, if there is a decreasing in energy prices so it decreased the production cost, which rise aggregate supply. As AS curve shifts rightward, due to this it decrease the price level and increase the GDP.

So, The net impact is a definite increase in GDP, but the impact on price level is non-certain. As price level of the short run is non-certain, so we are not able to predict long run impacts.

A synchronous decrease in energy prices and an increase in government spending will result in "increases in output and a decrease in the price level in the long run". The correct option is A.

A synchronous decrease in energy prices reduces production costs for businesses which is leading to an increase in short-run aggregate supply.

At the same time, an increase in government spending stimulates economic activity and boosts aggregate demand. As a result, both short-run aggregate supply and aggregate demand increase.

In the short run, this combination of factors can lead to an expansion in output and potentially a decrease in the price level due to the downward pressure on production costs.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

A monopoly is a market structure which is typically characterized by a single-seller who sells a unique product in the market by dominance. This ultimately implies that, it is a market structure wherein the seller has no competitor because he is solely responsible for the sale of unique products without close substitutes. Any individual that deals with the sales of unique products in a monopolistic market is generally referred to as a monopolist.

For example, a public power company is an example of a monopoly because they serve as the only source of power utility provider to the general public in a society.

Governments commonly regulate the prices and quality of services provided by​ natural monopolies.

Bonita Company has a factory machine with a book value of $87,800 and a remaining useful life of 5 years. It can be sold for $32,000. A new machine is available at a cost of $455,100. This machine will have a 5-year useful life with no salvage value. The new machine will lower annual variable manufacturing costs from $624,400 to $524,400. Prepare an analysis showing whether the old machine should be retained or replaced.

Answers

Answer: Old machine should be replaced.

Explanation:

The variable manufacturing cost will reduce by:

= 624,000 - 524,000

= $100,000

Over a period of 5 years this will be:

= 100,000 * 5

= $500,000

Selling the old machine would bring in $32,000:

= 500,000 + 32,000

= $532,000

The cost of the new machine would reduce this gross benefit by:

= 532,000 - 455,100

= $76,900

Net income will increase by a total of $76,900 over the 5 year period if the new machine is bought so it should be bought.

Answers

Answer:

1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg

2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556

3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable

4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable

Materials quantity variance $1596 unfavorable

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine the standard quantity of kilograms of foam

Standard quantity of kilograms allowed = 0.66*3800

Standard quantity of kilograms allowed =2508kg

2. Calculation to determine the standard materials cost allowed

Standard cost allowed for actual output = 2508kg *7

Standard cost allowed for actual output=$17,556

3. Calculation to determine the materials spending variance using this formula

Material spending variance = Standard cost - Actual cost

Let plug in the formula

Material spending variance= $17,556- $18,058

Material spending variance= $502 Unfavorable

4. Calculation to determine the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance

Material price variance = (7- $18,058/2,736)*2,736

Material price variance = $1094Favorable

Material quantity variance =(2508kg-2,736)*7

Material quantity variance= $1596 unfavorable

Therefore:

1. Standard quantity of kilograms allowed 2508kg

2. Standard cost allowed for actual output $17,556

3. Materials spending variance $502 Unfavorable

4. Materials price variance $1094Favorable
