Answer:
$24 million
Explanation:
During year 2, the percentage of completion = $20 million / $50 million = 40%.
Since the building advanced 40% during that year, then the company must recognize 40% of total contract price as revenue for this year = 40% x $60 million = $24 million.
The percentage of completion method is not cumulative, it is calculated on a year to year basis.
9. Two countries: US and Mexico. Two goods: Airplane and car. A US worker's MPL is 20 times higher than a Mexican worker in making an airplane. A US worker's MPL is 5 times higher than a Mexican worker in making a car. Which country has absolute advantage in making cars and why
Answer:
The US has absolute advantage in making cars. An additional worker makes 5 times higher cars than a Mexican worker.
Explanation:
The US has the absolute advantage than Mexico in making both products since its Marginal Product of Labor (MPL) (i.e. the number cars that an additional worker produces) is higher. The US also enjoys absolute advantage because it incurs less cost in making car (or even airplane) than does Mexico in making either car (or even airplane). One can then conclude that the US has the absolute advantage in the making of cars.
Same information as the previous question Company A started business on January 1, 20X1, and bought the following piece of equipment. Cost of asset $150,000 Useful life 3 Tax rate 21% 20X1 estimated tax payment 1,800 Depreciation for book and tax purposes is as follows: Book Tax 20X1 40,000 100,000 20X2 40,000 20,000 20X3 40,000 0 20X1 income statement information: Sales 638,000 Expenses (does not include depreciation expense and tax expense) 510,000 What the ending balance of deferred taxes payable as of December 31, 20X1?
Answer:
$12,600
Explanation:
Excess tax depreciation 20X1 = 100,000 - 40,000
Excess tax depreciation 20X1 = $60,000
Tax rate = 21%
Ending balance of deferred taxes payable = Excess tax depreciation 20X1 * Tax rate
Ending balance of deferred taxes payable = $60,000*21%
Ending balance of deferred taxes payable = $12,600
So, the ending balance of deferred taxes payable as of December 31, 20X1 is $12,600.
Woodman Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. Estimated and actual data for direct labor and manufacturing overhead for last year are as follows:
Estimated Actual
Direct Labor Hours: 600,000 550,000
Manufacturing Overhead Estimated $720,000 $680,000
Answer:
Underapplied overhead= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated Actual
Direct Labor Hours: 600,000 550,000
Manufacturing Overhead Estimated $720,000 $680,000
I assume that we need to calculate the over/under applied overhead.
First, we need to determine the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 720,000/600,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $1.2 per direct labor hour
Now, we apply overhead based on actual hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 1.2*550,000
Allocated MOH= $660,000
Finally, the under/over applied overhead:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 680,000 - 660,000
Underapplied overhead= $20,000

BuyCo, Inc., holds 25 percent of the outstanding shares of Marqueen Company and appropriately applies the equity method of accounting. Excess cost amortization (related to a patent) associated with this investment amounts to $10,800 per year. For 2020, Marqueen reported earnings of $102,000 and declares cash dividends of $30,000. During that year, Marqueen acquired inventory for $54,000, which it then sold to BuyCo for $75,000. At the end of 2020, BuyCo continued to hold merchandise with a transfer price of $29,000.
1. What Equity in Investee Income should BuyCo report for 2017?
2. How will the intra-entity transfer affect BuyCo's reporting in 2018?
3. If BuyCo had sold the inventory to Marqueen, how would the answers to (a) and (b) have changed?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The equity in investee income for the year 2017 is
Equity income Accrual ($102,000 × 25%) $25500
Less: Deferral of Infra-entity gross profit ($2,030)
Less: Amortization of patent ($10,800)
Equity in investee income $12,670

Ending Balance of Inventory $29,000
Gross Profit Percentage (($75,000 - $54,000) ÷ $75,000) 28%
Profit within Remaining Inventory $8,120
Ownership Percentage 25%
Intraentity gross Profit Deferral $2,030
b. The intra-entity impact for the year 2018 is that yhe accrual equity would be increased by $2,030
c. In the case when the inventory is sold from BuyCo to Marqueen so the direction i.e. upstream or downstream would remain unaffected the above answers
Ryan is self-employed. This year Ryan used his personal auto for several long business trips. Ryan paid $1,920 for gasoline on these trips. His depreciation on the car if he was using it fully for business purposes would be $3,900. During the year, he drove his car a total of 20,200 miles (a combination of business and personal travel). (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Required:
a. Ryan can provide written documentation of the business purpose for trips totaling 3,700 miles. What business expense amount can Ryan deduct (if any) for these trips?
b. Ryan estimates that he drove approximately 2,220 miles on business trips, but he can only provide written documentation of the business purpose for trips totaling 1,400 miles. What business expense amount can Ryan deduct (if any) for these trips?
Answer:
a. $2,634.36
$1,481.11
Explanation:
a. Ryan can claim the direct costs of the trip being gasoline and oil. He can therefore claim the $1,920 he paid for gasoline.
In addition, some of the indirect costs can be claimed as well such as depreciation. The claim is calculated as:
= Depreciation amount * Business miles / Total miles driven
= 3,900 * 3,700 / 20,200
= $714.36
Total deduction = 1,920 + 714.36
= $2,634.36
b. Ryan needs to be able to prove that the cost he is claiming are indeed business expenses. Total deductibles are:
= (3,900 * 1,400/ 20,200) + (1,400/2,220 * 1,920)
= $1,481.11
Novak Corp. bought equipment on January 1, 2022. The equipment cost $390000 and had an expected salvage value of $35000. The life of the equipment was estimated to be 5 years. The company uses the straight-line method of depreciation. The book value of the equipment at the beginning of the third year would be
Answer:
$177,000
Explanation:
In order to find the book value of the equipment we need to find the amount of depreciation per year. To do this we need to subtract the salvage value from the initial cost and then simply divide by 5 which is the life span of the equipment...
(390,000 - 35,000) / 5 = x
355,000 / 5 = x
71,000 = x
Now we see that the equipment will depreciate by $71,000 per year. In three years the depreciation would be
71,000 * 3 = 213,000
Now we simply subtract this value from the initial cost to get the book value in the third year
390,000 - 213,000 = 177,000

are capital markets also organisational markets?
Answer:A capital market is a financial market in which long-term debt (over a year) or equity-backed securities are bought and sold.[6] Capital markets channel the wealth of savers to those who can put it to long-term productive use, such as companies or governments making long-term investments.[a] Financial regulators like Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Bank of England (BoE) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversee capital markets to protect investors against fraud, among other duties.
Modern capital markets are almost invariably hosted on computer-based electronic trading platforms; most can be accessed only by entities within the financial sector or the treasury departments of governments and corporations, but some can be accessed directly by the public. As an example, in the United States, any American citizen with an internet connection can create an account with TreasuryDirect and use it to buy bonds in the primary market, though sales to individuals form only a tiny fraction of the total volume of bonds sold. Various private companies provide browser-based platforms that allow individuals to buy shares and sometimes even bonds in the secondary markets. There are many thousands of such systems, most serving only small parts of the overall capital markets. Entities hosting the systems include stock exchanges, investment banks, and government departments. Physically, the systems are hosted all over the world, though they tend to be concentrated in financial centres like London, New York, and Hong Kong.

Based on the information given we were told that She drove 918 miles in which spent the amount of $1,300 to move all her household items which simply means that her moving expenses adjustment will be the amount of $1,300 which was the amount spent to move her household items from Nebraska to Texas.
Therefore Joanna's moving expenses adjustment is $1,300.
B) Suppose that regular raises at your job allow you to increase your annual payment by 5% each year. For simplicity, assume this is a nominal rate, and your payment amount increases continuously. How long will it take to pay off the mortgage
Answer:
Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
Explanation:
Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.
Data Missing:
Buying Cost of House = $320000
Interest rate = 7%
Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.
Solution:
Data Given:
Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%
So,
Formula:
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
Where,
P = Buying Cost of House = $320000
i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07
A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05
C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8
P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] + C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex] + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]
In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.
n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.
So,
$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]
Taking 25525.8 common,
320000 = 25525.8 ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
320000/25525.8 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex] + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )
Taking e common:
12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]
Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:
n = 17.89
n ≈ 18
n = 18 years
Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years
What is one key advantage to an employer-sponsored retirement plan?
Answer:
An employee's funds grow tax deferred in the plan. They don't pay taxes on investment earnings until they withdraw their money from the plan. An employee will pay income taxes and possibly an early withdrawal penalty if they withdraw their money from the plan.
Explanation:
I hope this helps. :D
One key advantage of an employer-sponsored retirement plan is the opportunity for employees to receive matching contributions from their employer.
Many employers offer a matching contribution as part of their retirement plan, which means that for every dollar an employee contributes to their retirement account, the employer will also contribute a certain amount, up to a specified limit.
This matching contribution is essentially free money provided by the employer to help employees save for retirement. It serves as an additional incentive for employees to participate in the retirement plan and contribute to their own savings.
Hence, The matching contribution is the key advantage to an employer-sponsored retirement plan.

Karl works at Moe's grocery. This year Karl was paid $30,000 in salary, but he was allowed to purchase his groceries at 15 percent below Moe's cost. This year Karl spent $2,040 to purchase groceries, costing Moe $2,400. The groceries were worth $3,600. What amount must Karl include in his gross income
Answer:
$30,360
Explanation:
Calculation for What amount must Karl include in his gross income
Gross income amount= [($30,000 + ($2,400 × .15))]
Gross income amount=$30,000 + $360
Gross income amount= $30,360
Therefore the amount that Karl must include in his gross income is $30,360
Developing the cash flow for each alternative in a study is a pivotal, and usually the most difficult, step in the engineering economic analysis procedure. An integrated approach for developing cash flows includes three major components:
a. A work breakdown structure (WBS) definition of the project.
b. A cost and revenue structure that identifies all the cost and revenue elements involved in the study
c. Estimating techniques (models).
Required:
Discuss the concept of equivalence - if two cash flows (or a series of cash flows) are equivalent for a stated interest rate, and under what circumstances you would be willing to trade one for the other.
Answer:
The concept of equivalence, also known as economic equivalence, describes the reduction of a series of cash inflows (benefits) and cash outflows (costs) to a single point in time, using a single interest rate, which enables the cash flows to be compared or equated. This implies that while the amounts and timing of the cash flows (both inflows and outflows) may differ, an appropriate interest rate, factoring in the time value of money, will cause one set to be equal to the other. Therefore, to establish economic equivalence, series of cash flows that occur at different points in time must be equalized using a single interest rate through present value calculations.
Explanation:
The concept of equivalence describes a combination of a single interest rate and the idea of the time value of money. This combination helps to determine the different amounts of money at different points in time that are equal in economic value, such that a person would not hesitate to trade one for the other.
For example, if the interest rate is 10% in Year 1 and in Year 2 and you are to be paid $1,000 in Year 1, it will not make any difference to you if you are paid $1,100 in Year 2. This is because, given the prevailing interest rate of 10%, the value you receive in Year 1 and Year 2 are equivalent.
The Package Store hires workers to wrap packages. The store sells this service for $5. The marginal revenue product of this store's fifth worker is $50. The marginal product of the fifth worker is A) 0.01 package. B) 1 package. C) 10 packages. D) indeterminate from this information
Answer: 10 packages
Explanation:
Marginal revenue (MR) is defined as an increase in the revenue that a company makes which is gotten from an additional sale that is made from a unit of output.
The marginal product of the fifth worker will be calculated as:
= Marginal Revenue Product / Price
= 50/5
= 10
