Answer:
a. Schools operate for the full year, so no students are looking for summer work.
This will cause that the total labor force decreases, so the natural rate of unemployment will decrease. The natural rate of unemployment includes only structural and frictional unemployment. Since no students will look for summer jobs, then frictional unemployment will decrease, therefore, total natural unemployment will decrease also.
b. The Internet lists all the jobs available in the whole country, so it is easier for job seekers to locate potential jobs.
This will help to decrease structural unemployment which will in turn decrease the natural rate of unemployment. Structural unemployment happens when an unemployed individual cannot find a job that fits his/her skills. Internet job postings will make it easier for unemployed people to find jobs that match their skills.
c. People who quit their jobs are drafted into low-wage community-service jobs.
This should reduce frictional unemployment (which reduces the natural rate of unemployment), since frictional unemployment is made up of people that quit their jobs in order to search a better job or are looking for their first job ever. If people realize that quitting their current jobs will result in them being drafted into low wage jobs, less people will quit their jobs. This doesn't mean that they will stop searching for a better, it means that they will continue searching for a better while still employed.
d. In addition to unemployment insurance, the unemployed receive a bonus for finding new jobs; the bonus is greater if the job is found in the first few weeks of search and declines with the duration of search.
This should motivate people to get any available job as quick as possible. Sometimes a person that is fired will not accept possible jobs because they consider that they can get a better job, so they decide to wait until they get the job that they want. If a bonus is given, a lot of people will be motivated to accept any new job that they can find as long as it allows them to collect the bonus. This doesn't mean that they will quit looking for their dram job or the job that they deserve, it means that they will be working while doing so. This should decrease the natural rate of unemployment.
Assume that Gorilla Corporation's capital loss carryforward is $27,000 and that Gorilla will be able to use $11,000 of the carryover to offset capital gains in 2021 and the remaining $16,000 to offset capital gains in 2022.
Required:
Determine the tax savings of the $105,000 long-term capital loss recognized in 2020.
Assume a discount rate of 5%. The present value factors at 5% are as follows:
1.000 for 2017-2020;
0.9524 for 2021
0.9070 for 2022.
Gorilla Corporation's marginal income tax rate is 34% for all tax years prior to 2018. In present value terms, the tax savings of the $105,000 long-term capital loss recognized in 2020 is $________ .
Answer:
$95,283.09
Explanation:
The computation of the long term capital loss recognized for the year 2020 is shown below:
As we know that
Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + interest rate)^number of years
Present value = $105,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05)^2
= $95,283.09
hence, the long term capital loss recognized is $95,283.09
We simply applied the above formula
Chance Company had two operating divisions, one manufacturing farm equipment and the other office supplies. Both divisions are considered separate components as defined by generally accepted accounting principles. The farm equipment component had been unprofitable, and on September 1, 2016, the company adopted a plan to sell the assets of the division. The actual sale was completed on December 15, 2016, at a price of $640,000. The book value of the division’s assets was $1,090,000, resulting in a before-tax loss of $450,000 on the sale. The division incurred a before-tax operating loss from operations of $120,000 from the beginning of the year through December 15. The income tax rate is 30%.

What is the purpose of a W-2 form?
Why does supply decrease when the price
of resources increases?
Answer:
see below
Explanation:
Resources are the ( inputs) materials used in the production of goods meant for sale. The cost of inputs has a direct impact on the price of the finished goods(output). An increase in the cost of inputs increases the cost of production. An increase in production cost increases without a corresponding rise in the selling price means that the profits margin per unit will decline.
Suppliers are motivated to sell or deliver more quantities in the market by profit prospects. An increase in the costs of inputs decreases profit margins. Reduced profits margin result in suppliers supplying reduced quantities in the markets.
Causwell Company began 2021 with 12,000 units of inventory on hand. The cost of each unit was $5.00. During 2021 an additional 32,000 units were purchased at a single unit cost, and 22,000 units remained on hand at the end of 2021 (22,000 units therefore were sold during 2021). Causwell uses a periodic inventory system. Cost of goods sold for 2021, applying the average cost method, is $118,800. The company is interested in determining what cost of goods sold would have been if the FIFO or LIFO methods were used.
Required:
a. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the FIFO method.
b. Determine the cost of goods sold for 2018 using the LIFO method.
Answer:
a) COGS under FIFO = $110,340
b) COGS under LIFO = $125,850
Explanation:
beginning inventory 12,000 units x 5 = $60,000
purchases 32,000 x ? = $?
ending inventory = 22,000 units
COGS applying weighted average = $118,800
total units sold = 12,000 + 32,000 - 22,000 = 20,000
cost per unit sold = $5.94
total cost for 44,000 units = $261,360
cost of purchased units = ($261,360 - $60,000) = $201,360
cost per unit purchased = $6.2925
COGS under LIFO = 20,000 x $6.2925 = $125,850
COGS under FIFO = (12,000 x $5) + (8,000 x $6.2925) = $110,340

Answer: b. Innovation meets revolution. We create value of our customers around the world through breakthrough designs that lead to unique high-performance products.
Explanation:
Baldwin creates value around the world for a variety of customers. Using breakthrough designs, they are able to offer low prices to domestic consumers, premium products across the globe, low technology products for the people who prefer it and high technology for those who prefer that as well.
The first option is wrong because the global customers of Baldwin are not mentioned.
The third is wrong as well because they do not only build premium products as they build low technology products as well.
The fourth option is also wrong because it would seem that the low price is only offered domestically not across the world.

Gilberto Company currently manufactures 74,000 units per year of one of its crucial parts. Variable costs are $2.40 per unit, fixed costs related to making this part are $84,000 per year, and allocated fixed costs are $71,000 per year. Allocated fixed costs are unavoidable whether the company makes or buys the part. Gilberto is considering buying the part from a supplier for a quoted price of $3.65 per unit guaranteed for a three-year period. Calculate the total incremental cost of making 74,000 and buying 74,000 units. Should the company continue to manufacture the part, or should it buy the part from the outside supplier?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Incremental Costs to Make
Particulars Relevant Amount Relevant Total Relevant
per Unit Fixed Costs Costs
Variable cost per unit $2.40 $177,600

Dacosta Corporation had only one job in process on May 1. The job had been charged with $2,400 of direct materials, $6,966 of direct labor, and $10,104 of manufacturing overhead cost. The company assigns overhead cost to jobs using the predetermined overhead rate of $19.60 per direct labor-hour. During May, the following activity was recorded: Raw materials (all direct materials): Beginning balance $ 9,100 Purchased during the month $ 38,600 Used in production $ 39,900 Labor: Direct labor-hours worked during the month 2,500 Direct labor cost incurred $ 25,110 Actual manufacturing overhead costs incurred $ 33,900 Inventories: Raw materials, May 30 ? Work in process, May 30 $ 17,093 Work in process inventory on May 30 contains $3,849 of direct labor cost. Raw materials consist solely of items that are classified as direct materials. The cost of goods manufactured for May was:
Answer:
$116,387
Explanation:
Opening work in process = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Overheads
= $2,400 + $6,966 + $10,104
= $19,470
Adding up all the cost for the period, we'll have;
Raw materials = $39,900 used in production
Direct labor cost = $25,110
Overheads to be applied on predetermined rate = 2,500 × $19.6
= $49,000
Total cost incurred including beginning work in process = $133,480
Less: Closing work in process $17,093
Total cost of goods manufactured = $116,387
g The Dynatech Brewing Company is a small craft brewer that produces five standard varieties of beer. The beers sell for $6 per six-pack, and the company currently sells 7,000 six-packs per month. The company is considering producing a seasonal beer that will be sold in October, November, and December. The company estimates that at $6 per six-pack, the company will sell 1,400 six-packs. At $7 per six-pack, sales will be 700 six-packs. The company also estimates that sales of the seasonal beer will eat into sales of its standard items. Specifically, for every 700 six-packs of the seasonal beer that are sold, 210 six-packs of the standard varieties will not be sold. The variable production costs of all beers is $1.70 per six-pack. Calculate the incremental profit associated with the two selling prices under consideration for the seasonal beer (i.e., $6 and $7 per six-pack). (Enter loss using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).) $6 per six-pack $7 per six-pack Incremental profit/(loss) $enter a dollar amount $enter a dollar amount eTextbook and Media Should Dynatech Brewing produce the beer

Explain the advantages or disadvantages of using an organizational structure from the list in part A1 that is different from the structure already chosen for the business, using the goal-attainment approach to measuring organizational effectiveness.
Answer:
Organizational structrue is crucial because it guides the functioning of an organization, from the lowest levels, to the highest levels.
An common organizational structure is divisions based: the firm is organized with a CEO at the top, and then, a financial department, a marketing deparment, and accounting department, and a productions department.
In this organization, each division has specific goals, which are set by the CEO, the Board of Directors, the shareholders, and the leaders of each divison. These specific goals are different but they must respond to a overall, coherent business strategy.
Identify the correct statement regarding the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Select one:
a. In a closing conference, all the findings of the inspection are kept confidential with the concerned officers.
b. OSHA compliance officers do not entertain any kind of input or complaints from employees during the inspection.
c. OSHA compliance officers notify employers a month in advance before the inspection.
d. The OSHA compliance officer will seek a restraining order from the U.S. District Court, even if the inspection reveals that the problem is minor.
e. If an OSH Act violation results in citations, an employer must post each citation in a prominent place near the location of the violation.
Answer:
The answer is "Option e".
Explanation:
In the question, the choice e is correct because whenever an infringement of the OSH Act contributes to citations, the contractor should place any ticket in such a conspicuous place near the infringement.
All other alternatives weren’t true in support of OSHA but only when a violation of OSHA contributes to quotations should an employee post each quotation at a prominent position relative to the place of the violation.
You decide to invest $100,000 in cryptocurrencies and you use that amount to buy bitcoin. Your bitcoin appreciate by 30% in one month, at which point you liquidate half your position for cash, which you do not reinvest. Bitcoin appreciates by another 25% during the second month and you sell an additional 40% of your holdings. The cryptocurrency then falls by 60% in the third month, at which point you liquidate your entire position for cash.

ratio percentage test = (100/140) / (7/10) = 0.71/0.7 = 1.02 or 102% ≥ 70% ✓ passed
the average benefits test = 1.5% / 3% = 0.5 or 50% ≤ 70% X failed
This means that the highly compensated employees receive disproportionately high benefits from the plan.

B. deductive tax
C. regressive tax
D. dependent tax
A tax rate that is higher for people with higher incomes is a progressive tax. In such a tax system, the rich pay more tax than the poor. Thus, option (a) is correct.
What is a progressive tax?A progressive tax is a tax system in which people who earn higher incomes pay a higher rate of tax than those who earn lower incomes. This type of tax system is designed to reduce income inequality and ensure that those with higher incomes pay their fair share of taxes.
In a progressive tax system, the tax rate increases as the taxable income increases, and the tax rate decreases as the taxable income decreases.
Therefore, it can be concluded that a tax rate that is higher for people with higher incomes is a progressive tax. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Crane Company purchased land as a factory site for $1300000. Crane paid $110000 to tear down two buildings on the land. Salvage was sold for $8000. Legal fees of $5000 were paid for title investigation and making the purchase. Architect's fees were $46000. Title insurance cost $3500, and liability insurance during construction cost $3800. Excavation cost $15000. The contractor was paid $4200000. An assessment made by the city for pavement was $9500. Interest costs during construction were $250000.
Required:
a. The cost of the land that should be recorded by Wilson Co. is:________
b. The cost of the building should be recorded by Wilson Co. is:_________
Answer:
a. $1,420,000
b. $4,514,800
Explanation:
When it comes to fixed assets, all costs that directly helped make the asset available for use are to be capitalized.
Cost of Land
= Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down 2 Buildings + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost - Salvage
= 1,300,000 + 110,000 + 5,000 + 3,500 + 9,500 - 8,000
= $1,420,000
Cost of Building
= Architect's Fees + Liability Insurance Cost + Excavation Cost + Contractor's Payment + Interest Cost
= 46,000 + 3,800 + 15,000 + 4,200,000 + 250,000
= $4,514,800
The Hampton Inn in Stow, Ohio, has two sets of employees, the front desk staff and the housekeeping staff. There is always one front desk clerk on duty at all times, 24/7, and all of the front desk clerks make $8.00 an hour.The housekeeping staff is also paid $8.00 an hour, but they are paid for the number of hours that it takes them to clean the rooms in the hotel. Each room takes 30 minutes to clean, but if a room has not been used the night before, it does not have to be cleaned, so the housekeeping staff work fewer hours on days when the hotel is not as full.The hotel calculates its profitability on a per-room basis, since they have some costs that vary with the number of rooms that are occupied on a particular night. Right now, their costs other than staff wages are marketing expenses of $5,400 per month, management salaries of $60,000 per month, and general overhead (costs like utilities and insurance) of $30,000 per month.The hotel has 50 rooms, all of which rent for the same price per night.Assuming a 30-day month, what are the hotel’s total fixed costs per day? (Be careful, read all of the cost information carefully and think before you answer this question.)What is the hotel’s variable cost per room?If the hotel fills all of its rooms for the night, what price should they charge to break even?What price should they charge to break even with only 70% of the hotel’s rooms sold for the night?What price should they charge to earn a profit margin of 25% when 70% of the hotel’s rooms are sold for the night?
Answer:
To get total fixed cost
We calculate all expenses
Salaries of clerks = 24hours x 8
= 192
Marketing = 5400/30 = 180
Management = 60000/30 days = 2000
General overhead = 30000/30 = 1000
Total = 180+192+3000+2000
= $3372 a day
2.
It takes half hour to clean a room. And cleaner charges 8 dollars for a full hour.
8x1/2 = $4
3
Question says total rooms = 50
TFC = 3372
Contribution from 1 room
= 3372/50
= $67.44
Price per room = 66.44 + 4
= $71.44
4.
70% occupied rooms = 0.70 x 50
= 35 rooms occupied
3372/35
= $96.34
Charge for a room = 96.34 + 4
= $100.34
5.
Profit margin of 25% given 70% occupancy
3372+(4*35)
= $3512
Percentage on cost = 33.33%
O.3333x3512
= $1171
1172+3512
= $4683
Price for a room = 4683/35
= $133.8
babysits on the weekends for extra money. Suppose that three neighbors with children are interested in paying Elizabeth to babysit their children. In particular, Mr. and Dr. Brown would be willing to pay $31 to have Elizabeth babysit their children, Mr. Smith would be willing to pay $28 for Elizabeth's babysitting services, and Professor Jones and Mr. Jones would be willing to pay $22 to have her watch their children. If Elizabeth offers to babysit each set of children for an evening for $22, what will be consumer surplus, considering the three sets of children combined? $nothing. (Enter your response using an integer.)
Answer:
$15
Explanation:
Consumer surplus is the price the consumer pay for good/service minus the amount the consumer is willing to pay for it.
✓Mr. and Dr. Brown would be willing to pay $31
✓Mr. Smith would be willing to pay $28
✓Professor Jones and Mr. Jones would be willing to pay $22
Elizabeth PRICE for babysitting each set of children for an evening = $22
Consumer surplus= Σ (price that the consumer is willing to pay- Price of the good/service is sold)
= [(31-22)+(28-22)+(22-22)]
= 9+6+0
=$15
Hence, Consumer surplus is $15
4. Ellen contracts to buy six cases of vintage Fertile Valley wine from Grapes & Vines Winery for $1,200. The contract states that delivery is to be made at Ellen’s residence "on or before May 1, to be used for daughter's wedding reception on May 2." On May 1, Grapes & Vines delivery van is involved in an accident, no wine is delivered that day, and no one from Grapes & Vines tells Ellen. On the morning of May 2, Ellen buys the wine from Happy Hill Winery. That afternoon, just before the reception, Grapes & Vines tenders delivery of the wine at Ellen’s residence. She refuses tender\delivery. Grapes & Vines sues her for breach of contract. How is the court most likely to rule
Answer: In Ellen's favor
Explanation:
A component of the contract between Ellen and Grapes & Vines was breached which was that the wine was to be delivered "on or before May 1''. It was delivered on the 2nd which was a breach of contract which means that the contract can be voided.
If Grapes and Vines uses the defense that their van broke down and therefore it is a care of extraordinary circumstances, all efforts should have been made to contact Ellen to explain this situation. This was not done so Ellen was within her right to cancel the contract.
