Answer: d. $0
Explanation:
IRS rules state that if a person sells their principal residence in which they have lived for at least 2 of the last 5 years, they are not to be taxed on up to $250,000 of profit.
Sam had lived in the sold house for 10 years and this was his principal residence so it qualifies for the above provision.
Gain = Selling price - Basis
= 210,000 - 60,000
= $150,000.
This gain is less than the $250,000 allowed so Sam would recognize a gain of $0.

Explanation:
In business, a message written to right a wrong is called a claim. Straightforward claims are those where the receiver is expected to readily agree with your message. These claims require a direct approach. To be an effective business communicator, you should familiarize yourself with the best practices for making direct claims and voicing complaints.
Required:
What should you include in the opening of a direct claim message?
Answer: A clear statement of the problem
Explanation:
The opening of a direct claim message should clearly state the problem that you would like to be addressed by the receiver and would set the tone for the rest of the message.
Claim messages are formal messages and as such, should be clear and concise so that the message is communicated effectively and there is a lesser chance of the message being misread. This is why the message should be clearly stated, so that the receiver understands it and responds in kind.
Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The GDP price index for this year is calculated by dividing the ______________using___________ by the ________ using _____________and multiplying by 100.
Answer:
a (B) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year
this year's prices
Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year
by the base year's prices
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
The GDP price index for this year is calculated by dividing the (A) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year (B) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year (C) cost of a given market basket of goods and services using 2) ______ (A) the base year's prices (B) this year's prices by the 3) ________ A) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year (B) Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year (C) cost of a given market basket of goods and services using 4) ______ (A) the base year's prices (B) this year's prices
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP price index = (nominal GDP / Real GDP ) X 100
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP is GDP calculated using current year prices while Real GDP is GDP calculated using base year prices. Real GDP has been adjusted for inflation.
For example, country A produces 10 kg of rice at $10 per kg in 2019 and 50kg of beans at $30 per kg in 2018. In 2019, it produces 10 kg of rice at $20 per kg in 2019 and 50kg of beans at $40 per kg in 2019. 2018 is the base year.
Nominal GDP in 2018 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600
Nominal GDP in 2019 = (10 x $20) + (50 x $40) = $2200
Real GDP in 2018 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600
Real GDP in 2019 = (10 x $10) + (50 x $30) = $1600
GDP price index in 2019 = nominal gdp in 2019 / real gdp in 2019 ) x 100
(2200 / 1600 ) x 100 = 137.5
what is the relative worth of goods

Marigold Corp. enters into a contract with a customer to build an apartment building for $1,069,900. The customer hopes to rent apartments at the beginning of the school year and provides a performance bonus of $153,300 to be paid if the building is ready for rental beginning August 1, 2021. The bonus is reduced by $51,100 each week that completion is delayed. Marigold commonly includes these completion bonuses in its contracts and, based on prior experience, estimates the following completion outcomes: Completed by Probability August 1, 2021 70 % August 8, 2021 20 August 15, 2021 6 After August 15, 2021 4 Determine the transaction price for this contract.
Answer:
$1,193,562
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the transaction price for this contract.
First step is to calculate the probabilities
Probabilities
August 1, 2021 =70 % *$153,300
August 1, 2021 =$107,310
August 8, 2021= 20%*$51,100
August 8, 2021= $10,220
August 15, 2021 =6%*$102,200
($153,300-$51,100)
August 15, 2021 =$6,132
After August 15, 2021= 4%*$0
After August 15, 2021= $0
Now let calculate the transaction price for this contract.
Total transaction price =$1,069,900+ $107,310+$10,220+$6,132+$0
Total transaction price =$1,193,562
Therefore the transaction price for this contract will be $1,193,562
Cale Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Cale sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 7%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Cale that cost Cale $100 to buy from manufacturers, Cale would charge the hospital $107 to purchase these supplies.For years, Cale believed that the 7% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Cale decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total ActivityCustomer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $420,000 5,000 deliveriesManual order processing (Number of manual orders) 624,000 8,000 ordersElectronic order processing (Number of electronic orders)170,000 10,000 ordersLine item picking (Number of line items picked) 675,000 450,000 line itemsOther organization-sustaining costs (None) 650,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $2,539,000 Cale gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—Georgetown and Providence (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Cale $38,000 to buy from manufacturers): ActivityActivity Measure University Memorial Number of deliveries 16 28Number of manual orders 0 49Number of electronic orders 18 0Number of line items picked 190 210Required:1. Compute the total revenue that Cale would receive from Georgetown and Providence.2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to Georgetown and Providence.4. Compute Cale's customer margin for Georgetown and Providence.
Solution :
1. Calculation of total revenue
Total revenue = cost of goods sold + Markup 7% = Revenue
University = 38000 + 2660 = 40660
Memorial = 38000 + 2660 = 40660
Therefore, markup = cost of goods sold x market up
= 38000 x 7%
= 2660
2. Calculations of Activity rates
Activity rate = activity cost pool / total activity = activity rate
Customer deliveries = 420000 / 5000 = 84
Manual order processing = 624000 / 8000 = 78
Ele order processing = 170000 / 10000 = 17
Line time picking = 675000 / 450000 = 1.5
3. Calculations of Activity costs
Activity cost for University
Activity cost pool = Activity x Activity rate
Customer deliveries = 16 x 84 = 1344
Manual order processing = 0 x 78 = 0
Ele order processing = 18 x 17 = 306
Line time picking = 190 x 1.5 = 285
Total activity cost = 1935
Activity cost for Memorial
Activity cost pool = Activity x Activity rate
Customer deliveries = 28 x 84 = 2352
Manual order processing = 49 x 78 = 3822
Ele order processing = 0 x 17 = 0
Line time picking = 210 x 1.5 = 315
Total activity cost = 6489
4. Calculation of Customer margin
University Memorial
Sales revenue 40660 40660
Less : Cost of goods sold 38000 38000
Gross Margin 2660 2660
Less : Activity cost 1935 6489
Customer Margin 725 -3829
The government of Uwannastan protects its newly privatized firms from foreign competition by imposing stringent barriers to international trade and foreign direct investment. As a result of this, the newly privatized firms will: have no control over production and pricing. import raw materials and many industrial goods at low tariffs. continue operating like State-owned enterprises continue operating like private companies under capitalism
Answer: Continue operating like State-owned enterprises
Explanation:
Newly privatized would imply that they were once government owned which means that they were probably monopolies. These new companies are protected from foreign competition which means that their goods will be the dominant ones in the economy.
They will therefore keep operating as though they are state-owned companies because their goods will be dominant making them monopolies which is what government owned companies usually are.

Answer:
$7,000 Favourable
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The Step Company's sales-price variance is:
Using this formula
Sales Price Variance = (Actual Sales Price – Budgeted Sales Price) * Actual Sales Volume
Let plug in the formula
Sales Price Variance=[($ 147,000÷14,000)-(150,000/15,000)]*14000
Sales Price Variance = ($10.5 – $10) * 14000
Sales Price Variance = $7,000 Favorable
Therefore The Step Company's sales-price variance is: $7,000 Favorable
The Step Company has the following information for the year just ended: Budget Actual Sales in units 15,000 14,000 Sales $ 150,000 $ 147,000 Less: Variable Expenses 90,000 82,600 Contribution Margin $ 60,000 $ 64,400 Less: Fixed Expenses 35,000 40,000 Operating Income $ 25,000 $

= [tex]25,744[/tex]
The Postretirement benefit expense will be:
= [tex]Service \ cost +Interest \ cost-Actual \ and \ expected \ return[/tex]
= [tex]43,200+25,744-10,900[/tex]
= [tex]58,044[/tex]

Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
First of all, this question is not complete and lacks the group of answer choices. However, I have found that question with complete options on the internet.
So,
The Correct option is: D
Option D = Not enough information
Reasoning:
For overestimated or underestimated or not full information required i.e. cost under traditional method and cost under activity based cost method , both information required for compare methods cost under each method.
Under Activity base costing all indirect cost is applied as per activities use by each product but under traditional method only one key factor use for applied overheads i.e. direct labor hours or machine hours etc.
The following production data were taken from the records of the Finishing Department for June:
Inventory in process, June 1, 30% completed 4,000 units
Completed units during June 65,000 units
Ending inventory, 60% completed 65,000 units
The number of materials equivalent units of production in the June 30 Finishing Department inventory, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories and materials were added at the beginning of the process, is:______
Answer:
the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units
Explanation:
The computation of the equivalent units of production related to the material is shown below:
= Completed units + Ending inventory units - Beginning inventory units.
= 65,000 units + 65,000 units - 4,000 units
= 126,000 units
hence, the equivalent units of production related to the material is 126,000 units

When you are making decisions you always have to think of the outcome or else you could end up doing something bad or wrong. Boundaries in decisions making are so you don't just go and do whatever without thinking. we as humans subconsciously try not to cross other people's boundaries for mainly two reasons. The first is it makes people feel uncomfortable. The second is that it brings out our inner guilt. if you cross someone's boundaries you will most likely realize it imededietly and to to back off instinctively.
I hope this helps!
On January 1, 2018, Advanced Airline purchased a used airplane at a cost of $60,500,000. Advanced Airline expects the plane to remain useful for eight years (5,000,000 miles) and to have a residual value of $5,500,000. Advanced Airline expects the plane to be flown 1,100,000 miles the first year and 1,200,000 miles the second year.
Requirements
1.Compute first-year (2019) depreciation expense on the plane using the following methods:
a.Straight-line
b.Units-of-production
2.Show the airplane’s book value at the end of the first year for the two methods.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the annual depreciation using the straight-line method:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (60,500,000 - 5,500,000) / 8
Annual depreciation= $6,875,000
Now, using the units of production method:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in miles]*miles operated
Annual depreciation= [(55,000,000 / 5,000,000)]*1,100,000
Annual depreciation= $12,100,000
Finally, the book value:
Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation
Straight-line:
Book value= 60,500,000 - 6,875,000= $53,625,000
Units-of-production:
Book value= 60,500,000 - 12,100,000= $48,400,000
Returns on ABC, Inc. are forecast to be the following: State Probability Return Boom 0.25 30% Normal 0.65 15% Bust 0.10 -14% What is the standard deviation of this company’s stock? Returns on ABC, Inc. are forecast to be the following: State Probability Return Boom 0.25 30% Normal 0.65 15% Bust 0.10 -14% What is the standard deviation of this company’s stock? 11.82% 11.56% 11.32% 11.07% 10.83%
Answer:
Standard deviation=11.82%
Explanation:
Standard deviation is measure of the total risks of an investment. It measures the volatility in return of an investment as a result of both systematic and non-systematic risks. Non-systematic risk includes risk that are unique to a company like poor management, legal suit against the company .
Standard deviation is the sum of the squared deviation of the individual return from the mean return under different scenarios
Expected return (r) = (30% × 0.25 ) + (15% × 0.65) + (-14%× 0.10)=15.8%
Outcome (R- r )^2 × P
Boom (30%-15.8)^2× 0.25 = 50.05
Normal (15%-15.8)^2×0.65 = 0.47
Bust ( 13.6%- 15.8)^2 ×0.1= 89.10
139.63
Standard deviation =√139.63= 11.82%
Standard deviation=11.82%
has 8.3 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $53, and the book value per share is $4. also has two bond issues outstanding. The first bond issue has a face value of $70 million and a coupon rate of 7 percent and sells for 108.3 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $60 million and a coupon rate of 7.5 percent and sells for 108.9 percent of par. The first issue matures in 8 years, the second in 27 years. (a) What are capital structure weights on a book value basis
Answer:
Equity = 20.34%Debt = 79.66%Explanation:
Book value of stock:
= 8,300,000 * 4
= $33,200,000
Total book value = BV of stock + BV of bonds
= 33,200,000 + 70,000,000 + 60,000,000
= $163,200,000.
Weight of Equity:
= 33,200,000 / 163,200,000
= 20.34%
Weight of debt:
= (70,000,000 + 60,000,000) / 163,200,000
= 79.66%
The world Street Journal published that United Airlines is not covering its cost (the cost include both fixed and variable cost) in the route from Washington to San Francisco and therefore they should discontinue the flight in this route. Based on the above situation answer the following questions: 1.Do you think United should continue its flight from Washington to San Francisco? Explain. 2. What are the major condition United needs to check before ‘shut down’ its operation Washington to San Francisco? Explain
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given points:
Explanation:
In question 1:
No, airline through Washington to San Fransisco should not continue. It is because the airline could recover its constant but varying expenses, as mentioned in the article. Service would therefore not be able to endure failure. The airline should therefore avoid driving.
In question 2:
To determine whether the airline should close down or not, the US should equate the price with both the Average total cost. Each airline is required to close down its activities if its cost is reduced than AVC. If the price is higher therefore the AVC price will continue. Since, as per the report, the airline cannot also cover its variable costs, its activities must be stopped.
n the balance sheet at the end of its first year of operations, Dinty Inc. reported an allowance for uncollectible accounts of $82,700. During the year, Dinty wrote off $30,600 of accounts receivable it had attempted to collect and failed. Credit sales for the year were $2,220,000, and cash collections from credit customers totaled $1,760,000.What bad debt expense would Dinty report in its first-year income statement
Answer:
the bad debt expense reported is $113,300
Explanation:
The computation of the bad debt expense that should be reported in the first year income statement is shown below:
= Allowance for uncollectible accounts + write off account receivable
= $82,700 + $30,600
= $113,300
Hence, the bad debt expense reported is $113,300
Jordan paid $30,000 for equipment two years ago and has claimed total depreciation deductions of $15,600 for the two years. The cost of repairs during the same time period was $2,000 while a major overhaul which extended the life of the equipment cost $7,000. What is Jordan's adjusted basis in the equipment at the end of the two-year period
Answer: $21400
Explanation:
Cost of equipment = $30,000
Depreciation = $15600
Cost of repairs = $2000
Overhaul = $7000
Jordan's adjusted basis in the equipment at the end of the two-year period will be:
= Equipment cost - Depreciation + Overhaul
= $30000 - $15600 + $7000
= $21,400
