Answer:
a. $0 will be reported as capital gain, while $7,500 will be reported as ordinary gain.
b. $1,000 will be reported as capital gain, while $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as part 'a' of the requirement is omitted. The complete question with the part 'a' of the requirement is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Since its formation, Roof Corporation has incurred the following net Section 1231 gains and losses.
Year 1 $ (12,000) Net Section 1231 loss
Year 2 10,500 Net Section 1231 gain
Year 3 (14,000) Net Section 1231 loss
a. In year 4, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $7,500 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
b. In year 5, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $9,000 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
Explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
When section 1231 losses exceed section 1231 profits in the prior five years, the excess loss (unapplied loss) is applied against the current year's section 1231 gain.
The amount that is reported as ordinary income is the amount of the loss that is applied against the current year's section 1231 gain.
Long-term capital gain is the excess of the current year's section 1231 gain over the the recaptured section 1231 loss from the prior five years.
You have to start with the earliest year to apply section 1231 losses from the previous five years to the current year's section 1231 gain.
Therefore, we have:
a. In year 4, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $7,500 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
As a result of the loss from the previous year that is applied to the extent of $7,500, the whole of the $7,500 net Section 1231 gain will be recorded as ordinary gain.
Therefore, $0 will be reported as capital gain, while $7,500 will be reported as ordinary gain.
b. In year 5, Roof sold one asset and recognized a $9,000 net Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital, and how much is ordinary?
Unapplied losses in previous years can be calculated as follows:
Details Amount ($)
Net Section 1231 loss in Year 3 (14,000)
Net Section 1231 gain in Year 4 7,500
Net Section 1231 loss in Year 1 (12,000)
Net Section 1231 gain in Year 2 10,500
Unapplied losses in previous years (8,000)
Because there are unapplied losses of $8,000 from previous years, $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.
Therefore, the amount to be reported as capital gain can be calculated as follows:
Amount to be reported as capital gain = Gain in Year 5 – Amount to be reported as ordinary gain = $9,000 - $8,000 = $1,000
Therefore, $1,000 will be reported as capital gain, while $8,000 will be reported as ordinary gain.

assume that in the short run a firm is producing 800 units of output, has average total costs of $150, and has cost of $100. the firm's total variable costs are?
Answer:
$80,000
Explanation:
Missing word "and has average variable costs of $100"
Note: AVC = Average variable cost, TVC = total variable cost
AVC = TVC / Output
$100 = TVC/800 units
TVC = $100*800 units
TVC = $80,000
So, the firm's total variable costs are $80,000.
A simulation model is used to test the impact of the number of sample customers at a supermarket. As the model is run the decision maker watches the average number of customers in the store rapidly increase from zero until it levels off and holds a constant value. The simulation model is:_________ a. not valid due to the lack of change. b. in steady state c. not valid due to the fluctuation in the statistics. d. a random variable.
Answer:
b. in steady state
Explanation:
As we know that the simulation model should be applied at the time when the number of samples with respect to the customers should be tested. Also it considered for the decision making purpose that shows the average no of customers that instantly increased from the 0 unit in the case when the level is off and also hold the same value. So here the simulation model should be considered as in the steady rate
Therefore the option b is correct
A company purchased land for its natural resources at a cost of $1,500,000. It expects to mine 2,000,000 tons of ore from this land. The residual value of the land is estimated to be $250,000. What is the amount of depletion per ton of ore
Answer:
$0.625
Explanation:
Depletion expense per ton of ore = (Cost of the asset - Salvage value) / Number of units
Depletion expense per ton of ore = ($1500000 - $250000) / 2000000
Depletion expense per ton of ore = $1250000 / 2000000 units
Depletion expense per ton of ore = $0.625
So, the amount of depletion expenses per ton of ore is $0.625.

Tumbling Haven, a gymnastic equipment manufacturer, provided the following information to its accountant. The company had net fixed assets of $25 million, and other non-current assets of $2 million. The firm has current liabilities of $2 million, long-term debt of $10 million, common stock of $3 million, and retained earnings of $25 million. What amount of current assets did this firm have
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the information above,
Total asset = Current asset + Net fixed assets + Other non current assets
= Current asset + $25m + $2m
= Current asset + $27m
= Long term debt + equity
= 10m + $3m + $25m
= $38m
Current liabilities = $2m
Since current liabilities = Total asset - (long-term debt + equity)
$2m = (current asset + $27m) - $38m
$2m = current asset + $27m - $38m
Current asset = $2m - $27m + $38m
Current asset = $13m
Higher debt utilization ratios will always increase a firm's return on equity given a positive return on assets.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
A. True
Explanation:
The debt utilization ratios is used to determine the comprehensive picture for the long term financial health of the company or the solvency of the company.
The debt ratio is defined as the financial ratio which shows the percentage of the assets of an organization which are provided through a debt. When the ratio is higher, the risk involved with the operation of the firm is more.
Thus, for a high debt utilization ratio, it will always increase the return of the organization on the equity for a positive return on the assets of the organization.
Thus, the answer is TRUE.
Given the following information for Sookie’s Cookies Co., calculate the depreciation expense: sales = $87,143; costs = $62,695; addition to retained earnings = $1,398; dividends paid = $211; interest expense = $975; tax rate = 27 percent. (Hint: Build the Income Statement and fill in the missing pieces until you get to the depreciation expense. You may have to work from bottom up.)
Answer:
Net earnings = Dividends Paid + Retained earnings
Net earnings = $211 + $1,398
Net earnings = $1,609
Earnings before tax (EBT) = Net earnings / (1-t)
Earnings before tax (EBT) = $1,609 / (1 - 27%)
Earnings before tax (EBT) = $2,204.11
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = EBT + Interest paid
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = $2,204.11 + $975
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) = $3,179.11
Gross Profit / EBITDA = Sales - Costs
Gross Profit / EBITDA = $87,143 - $62,695
Gross Profit / EBITDA = $24,448
Depreciation = EBITDA - EBIT
Depreciation = $24,448 - $3,179.11
Depreciation = $21,268.89
Discuss how key practices in the partnering approach to managing contracted relationships vary from those in the traditional approach regarding risk, length of commitment, and structure of project teams.
Answer:
Approaches to risk, structure and length of commitment has been changed in a positive way.
Explanation:
Approaches to risk, structure and length of commitment has been changed in a positive way. Risk is greatly changed by introducing the following strategy:
Transfer, Avoid, Reduce and Accept.
The risk is analyzed first to identify the nature whether it can be transferred or not if yes it is transferred, if not then risk is again analyzed if this can be avoided, if not then risk is again analyzed if the chances of risk occurring can be reduced, if not then the risk is accepted.
Length of commitment is changed to easy terms, the length of commitment in the past was of a longer duration [more than a year], unlike now which is a choice, length of commitment can be less than a year or maybe more than a year.

The most recent financial statements for Alexander Co. are shown here: Income Statement Balance Sheet Sales $ 45,650 Current assets $ 19,020 Long-term debt $ 37,970 Costs 36,450 Fixed assets 69,250 Equity 50,300 Taxable income $ 9,200 Total $ 88,270 Total $ 88,270 Taxes (24%) 2,208 Net income $ 6,992 Assets and costs are proportional to sales. The company maintains a constant 35 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum dollar increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued
Answer:
$4,533.05
Explanation:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Equity
Return on equity (ROE) = $6,992 / $50,300
Return on equity (ROE) = 13.9%
Retention ratio = 1 - Dividend payout ratio
Retention ratio = 1 - 35%
Retention ratio = 65%
Sustainable growth rate = [13.9%*65%] / [1 - 13.9%*65%]
Sustainable growth rate = 0.09035 / 0.90965
Sustainable growth rate =0.09932392
Sustainable growth rate = 9.93%
Maximum dollar increase = Sales * Sustainable growth rate
Maximum dollar increase = $45,650 * 9.93%
Maximum dollar increase = $4,533.05
Pharoah Construction Company earned $403,000 during the year ended June 30, 2017. After paying out $225,794 in dividends, the balance went into retained earnings. If the firm's total retained earnings were $847,042 at the end of fiscal year 2017, what were the retained earnings on its balance sheet on July 1, 2016
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above,
The retained earnings for June 2017
If net profit = retained earnings + dividend
Retained earnings = earnings - dividend payout
$403,000 - $225,794
= $177,206
Therefore, the retained earnings on it's balance sheet on July 1 2013 would be;
= Total retained earnings at the end of the fiscal year 2017 - Retained earnings
= $847,042 - $177,206
= $669,836
Suppose your roommate. Clara is starting à room cleaning business on your campus. There are five potential workers. Each is willing to work for the following daily wage:
Person Daily wage requirement
Alex $110
Diane $130
Cedric $150
Peter $170
Suppose that each person could clean eight rooms in a day and that Clara charges $21 for each room that is cleaned. How marry workers should Clara hire?
Answer:
3 workers
Explanation:
It is given that Clara is opening a room cleaning business on the campus. For Clara, there are 5 potential workers.
The daily wage of for the worker are :
Alex --- [tex]\$ 110[/tex]
Diane -- [tex]\$ 130[/tex]
Cedric -- [tex]\$ 150[/tex]
Peter -- [tex]\$ 170[/tex]
Zekta -- [tex]\$ 190[/tex]
Each of the worker will clean 8 rooms and $ 21 will be charged for each room to be cleaned.
Therefore, the number of the workers required is :
The marginal revenue product for each worker = 21 x 8 = 168
So, Clara will hire only those workers who have daily wage less than $ 168.
Therefore, Clara will hire 3 workers, namely Alex, Diane and Cedric.
According to the CAPM, what is the market risk premium given an expected return on a security of 18.7%, a stock beta of 1.3, and a risk-free interest rate of 7%
Answer: 9%
Explanation:
The market risk premium given an expected return on a security of 18.7%, a stock beta of 1.3, and a risk-free interest rate of 7% will be calculated as:
Expected return = risk free rate + Beta × market risk premium
= (18.7% - 7%)/1.3
= (0.187 - 0.07)/1.3
= 0.117/1.3
= 0.09
= 9%
The market risk premium is 9%.

Can anyone explain the popularity of the Types of housing in the UK for me?
Explanation:
Save
There are numerous different types of residential properties to be found throughout the United Kingdom. However, not all may be suitable for your unique requirements. Let’s take the guesswork out of the picture by listing all of the most common variants as well as the bespoke aspects of each. You can then make an informed and educated decision at the appropriate time.
It is currently estimated that there are more than 25 million residential properties throughout the United Kingdom. From detached homes and flats to bungalows and cottages, you have a host of amazing options at your disposal. There is still no doubt that finding the most appropriate structure for your needs can be a bit tricky. Let us examine these and other variants in greater detail. What are the advantages of specific properties? What does each have in store? How will price come into play? These important questions deserve a great deal of attention if you hope to obtain the insight and clarity required to make the best choice possible.
Detached Houses
As the name already suggests, detached houses do not share any walls with a separate structure. They also tend to have both front and back gardens. Associated with a greater degree of privacy when compared to other variants, these units are often ideal solutions for those who have children. The median price for a detached house (at the time that this article was written) is £242,286. If you are curious to know the worth of your property, feel free to use our online house valuation tool at your disposal.
Semi-Detached Houses
As the name suggests, the only major difference between a detached house and a semi-detached property is that semi-detached homes share at least one wall with an existing structure that is separately owned. Not only does this save a great deal of space, but these variants are also noticeably cheaper when compared to fully detached houses. This is why the average 2018 value of these structures was £225,674. The only possible concern is that semi-detached houses do not offer the same level of privacy as their detached alternatives.
Terraced Housing
These are actually some of the most well-known and iconic housing types within the United Kingdom. Terraced houses are connected by a single wall on either side; leading to a literal “row” of structures that occupy a street. The main advantage here is that this type of construction saves a great deal of space. This is why they are quite popular within urban districts where land is at a premium. The prices of these properties are also somewhat lower due to the fact that front or back gardens are sometimes absent from their design (although some may contain small front yards). According to government figures compiled in January 2018, the average price for a terraced home is £194,167.
End-of-Terrace Houses
The only main difference between end-of-terrace houses and the terraced counterparts mentioned previously is that these structures are found at the terminal of a row of homes. In other words, only one wall is shared with an adjacent structure. This is why such houses are often found at the end of a road or on a cul-de-sac. This is also the reason why end-of-terrace homes are priced slightly higher. Some studies have found that these structures cost as much as 18 per cent more than normal terraced homes.
Flats
There is no doubt that flats are by far the most well-known types of homes in the UK. Often being offered as a series within a single building, flats are known for their space-saving qualities as well as their convenience. These structures can either be rented on a contractual basis or purchased (the former is quite common). Flats are ideal for single individuals or those with small families due to the fact that they are often much more affordable when compared to detached or semi-detached houses. In fact, the average rental price of a flat (taking into account both urban and rural locations) is approximately £650. Purchase prices will naturally vary and if you would like to get a better idea of what flats have recently sold for in your area, take a look at our sold house price tool.
Converted Flats
The name for these types of residential properties is actually a bit of a misnomer. Converted flats are often houses that have been split into two sections; a top and bottom half. Either of these can be considered a flat while the other portion is normally where the owner resides. Please note that larger structures can be divided into multiple sections (such as individual bedroom-bathroom combinations) which can be rented separately. Depending upon the property in question, converted flats may or may not offer front and back gardens. The price of these locations fluctuates; depending upon issues such as the age of the property, its overall size and the cost of renting a section out to a customer.

How do you compute net income for a merchandiser. Multiple choice question. Revenues - expenses. Net sales - cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold - other expenses. Net sales - cost of goods sold - other expenses. g
Answer:
Net income for a merchandiser is computed as:
Net sales - cost of goods sold - other expenses.
Explanation:
Net sales are the sales revenue after deducting sales discounts and allowances. The cost of goods sold represent the beginning inventory of merchandise and current period's purchases less the ending inventory. The difference between the net sales and the cost of goods sold is called the gross profit. From this, other expenses incurred in running the business and generating sales are deducted, including income taxes to arrive at the net income.
Suppose a project financed via an issue of debt requires six annual interest payments of $20 million each year. If the tax rate is 21% and the cost of debt is 6%, what is the value of the interest rate tax shield
Answer:
$4,200,000
Explanation:
Given :
Annual interest payment = $20 million
Tax rate = 21%
Cost of debt = 6%
The value of the interest rate tax shield is given by :
The tax rate * annual interest payment
Tax rate = 21% = 21/100 = 0.21
Annual interest payment = $20,000,000
The value of interest rate tax shield = (0.21 * $20,000,000) = $4,200,000
Proponents of the LIFO inventory cost flow assumption argue that this costing method is superior to the alternatives because it results in better matching of revenue and expense. The recent purchase costs to the Cost of Goods Sold account results in better matching of revenue and expense.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
The assumption of the LIFO method is that the most recent goods which are added to the inventory of a company have been sold first.
This brings about a better matching of the cost incurred and the revenue since the most recent products added are the ones which are then sold first. Therefore, the correct option is True.
