Answer: $102,500 gain recognized and a basis in the land of $520000
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, we can infer that the amount of gain that Red Blossom recognize in the exchange will be:
= Fair market value of land - Corporation's basis in the Tea Company stock
= $520,000 - $417,500
= $102500
We should also note that the land basis will be $520000 which is the fair market value of the land.
small accounting firm is considering the purchase of a computer software package that would greatly reduce the amount of time needed to prepare tax forms. The software costs $2150 and this expense will be incurred immediately. The firm estimates that it will save $650 of cash flow at the end of each year beginning in one year for 5 consecutive years, and also save $1788 in year 6. What is the payback on the computer package
Answer:
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Explanation:
The payback period is the estimated length of time it takes cash inflow from a project to recoup the cash outflow.
The payback period uses cash flows and not profit.
The payback period can be determined by accumulation the cash inflow consecutively to ascertain the length of time it will take the sum to equate the initial cost.
This will be done as follows:
The sum of the cash in flows for the first three years would equal
650× 3= 1,950
The balance required to equate 2,150 would be
balance = 2150-1950 = 200
Pay back period = 3 years + (200/650)× 12 months
= 3 years 3.6months
Pay back period =3 years 4 months
Prepare a contribution format income statement segmented by divisions. 2-a. The Marketing Department has proposed increasing the West Division's monthly advertising by $22,000 based on the belief that it would increase that division's sales by 13%. Assuming these estimates are accurate, how much would the company's net operating income increase (decrease) if the proposal is implemented
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
1) attached below
2a) $19340
2b) yes
Explanation:
1) Prepare The contribution format income statement
variable cost :
east = 446,000 * 50% = 223,000
west = 600,000 * 47% = 282,000
central = 660,000 * 39% = 257400
attached below is the table ( screenshot from my excel )
2a) Determine how much the net operating income would increase
= ( Increase in contribution margin )- ( Increase in fixed cost )
= $41340 - $22,000 = $19340
where :
Increase in contribution margin = 318,000 * 13% = $41340
Increase in fixed cost = $22,000
2b) I will recommend the increased advertising because the increase in net operating income
At May 31, Metlock, Inc. has net sales of $340,000 and cost of goods available for sale of $278,500. Compute the estimated cost of the ending inventory, assuming the gross profit rate is 36%. Estimated cost of ending inventory
Answer:
$60,900
Explanation:
The computation of the closing inventory is shown below:
As we know that
Gross profit = Sales - cost of goods sold
($340,000 × 36%) = $340,000 - cost of goods sold
$122,400 = $340,000 - cost of goods sold
So, the cost of goods sold is
= $217,600
Now the ending inventory is
= Cost of goods sold available for sale - cost of goods sold
= $278,500 - $217,600
= $60,900
On June 30, the end of the first month of operations, Tudor Manufacturing Co. prepared the following income statement, based on the variable costing concept:
Sales (420,000 units) $7,450,000

B. $1,280,600
Explanation:
A. Preparation of an absorption costing income statement.
Tudor Manufacturing Co.
Absorption Costing Income Statement
For the Month Ended June 30, 2014
Sales (420,000 units) $7,450,000
Cost of goods manufactured $7,160,000
(500,000 units x $14.32 per unit)
($160,000 / 500,000 units = $0.32 per unit)
($14 per unit + $0.32 per unit = $14.32 per unit)
Less ending inventory $1,145,600
(80,000 units x $14.32 per unit)
Cost of goods sold $6,014,400
Gross profit $1,435,600
($7,450,000 - $6,014,400)
Selling and administrative expenses:
Variable selling and administrative expenses $80,000
Fixed selling and administrative expenses $75,000 $155,000
Income from operations $1,280,600
($1,435,600 - $155,000)
Therefore the absorption costing income statement will be $1,280,600
B.Calculation to Reconcile the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a)
First step is to calculate ending inventory difference
Ending inventory difference = $1,145,600 - $1,120,000
Ending inventory difference = $25,600
Now let Reconcile the variable costing income from operations
Reconciliation of Variable Costing and Absorption Costing Incomes from Operations
Variable costing income from operations $1,255,000
Add: Difference between absorption costing and variable costing ending inventories $25,600
Absorption costing income from operations $1,280,600
($1,255,000+$25,600)
Therefore the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a) will be $1,280,600

The following information pertains to the company's normal operations per month: Output units 1500 phones Machine-hours 1100 hours Direct manufacturing labor-hours 1200 hours Direct materials per unit $23 Direct manufacturing labor per hour $9 Variable manufacturing overhead costs $214,500 Fixed manufacturing overhead costs $126,700 Product and process design costs $143,400 Marketing and distribution costs $154,045 Quick Connect Products is approached by an overseas customer to fulfill a one-time-only special order for 150 units. All cost relationships remain the same except for a one-time setup charge of $2025. No additional design, marketing, or distribution costs will be incurred. What is the minimum acceptable bid per unit on this one-time-only special order
Answer: $186.70
Explanation:
The minimum acceptable bid per unit on this one-time-only special order will be calculated as:
Direct material per unit = $23
Add: Direct labor (1200/1500) × $9 = $7.2
Add: Variable manufacturing overhead ($214500/$1500) = $143
Add: Special charge (2025/150) = $13.5
Minimum price = $23 + $7.2 + $143 + $13.5 = $186.70

Roberta transfers property with a tax basis of $495 and a fair market value of $546 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $356 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $190 on the property transferred. What is the amount realized by Roberta in the exchange
Answer: $546
Explanation:
The amount realized by Roberta in the exchange will be gotten through the addition of the fair value of the stock that was acquired to the liability that's assumed by the corporation. This will be:
Fair value of stock acquired = $356
Add: Liability assumed by corporation = $190
Amount realised = $356 + $190 = $546
A ship valued at $1,337,500 is carrying a cargo of iron ore valued at $125,000, and a cargo of coal valued at $100,000. The ship is stranded and the captain jettisons what is later determined to be $12,500 worth of iron ore. The stranded ship is towed to port, receives a bill from the tug company of $56,250 and is determined to have suffered $71,875 worth of damage to the ship. The captain declares a general average.
How much liability will the company shipping the coal have?
Answer:
$9,000
Explanation:
Calculation for How much liability will the company shipping the coal have
First step is to calculate the The ratio of losses to combined value of cargo and ship
Ratio of losses to combined value of cargo and ship=$12,500/$1,337,500+$56,250/$56,250+$71,875/$100,000
Ratio of losses to combined value of cargo and ship=.09
Now let calculate How much liability will the company shipping the coal have
Liabiltiy=$100,000*.09
Liabiltiy=$9,000
Therefore How much liability will the company shipping the coal have is $9,000
Individuals have two kidneys, but most of us need only one. People who have lost both kidneys through accident or disease must be hooked up to a dialysis machine, which cleanses waste from their bodies. Say a person who has two good kidneys offers to sell one of them to someone whose kidney function has been totally destroyed. The seller asks $30,000 for the kidney, and the person who has lost both kidneys accepts the offer. A. Who benefits from the deal
Answer:
Both do.
Explanation:
However, I will say that asking someone who would die without that kidney for $30,000 for something you can live without is kind of cruel. I would do it for free

0n the basis of the behavior of the firm's stock, you believe that the beta of the firm is 1.30. Assuming that the rate of return available on risk-free investments is 5% and that the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 15% what is the net present value of the project
Answer:
NPV= -$32.58
Explanation:
The net present value of the investment is the cash inflow from the investment discounted at required rate of return. The required rate of return can be determined using the the formula below:
Ke= Rf +β(Rm-Rf)
Ke =? , Rf- 5%,, Rm-15%, β- 1.30
Ke=5% + 1.30× (15-5)= 18%
The NPV = Present value of cash inflow - initial cost
= A×(1-(1+r)^(-10)/r - initial cost
A- 15, r-18%
NPV = 15× (1-1.18^(-10)/0.18 - 100= -32.58
NPV = -$32.58
Elizabeth reports the following items for the current year: Nonbusiness capital gains $ 5,000 Nonbusiness capital losses (3,000) Interest income 3,000 Itemized deductions (including a $20,000 casualty loss in a Federal disaster area) (27,000) In calculating Elizabeth's net operating loss and with respect to these amounts only, what amount must be added back to taxable income (loss)
Answer: $2000
Explanation:
In calculating Elizabeth's net operating loss and with respect to these amounts only, the amount that must be added back to taxable income (loss) will be the difference between the nonbusiness capital gains and the nonbusiness capital losses. This will be:

Explanation:
Dumphy and Funke are rival tattoo artists in the small town of Feline. There are no other tattoo artists in town. It costs $30 to produce a Tweety Bird tattoo. Assume for simplicity that fixed costs are zero and that Dumphy and Funke perform identical work. For a while, there was too much demand for Funke and Dumphy to handle and they both charged $200 for a tattoo. But recently, demand has dropped significantly and there is not enough work for both to fill their days at any price. However, there is some demand at all prices. What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand
Answer: price competition
Explanation:
The type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand is price competition.
Price competition simply means when the companies in a particular industry lower their prices afsubst the prices of identical products in order to boost demand and sales.
Since there's a reduction in demand, Dumphy and Funke will engage in price competition to boost sales.
1A.) Assume a simple economy where only burgers are traded. In a year, 100 burgers are traded at the rate of $5 per burger. Assume two scenarios:
a. The economy has $100 in the form of 20 pieces of $5 bills.
b. The economy has $100 in the form of 100 pieces of $1 bills.
Calculate the velocity of money for both situations.
1B.) For a country A, the GDP growth rate is 8 percent and inflation is 4 percent. If the velocity of money remains constant, what is the change in real money balances?
Answer:
a. 5
b. 5
1B. 8%
Explanation:
a. MV = PY
Money Supply * Velocity of money = Price level * Real GDP
100 * V = 5 * 100
100V = 500
V = 5
b. Velocity = 5
It will not change because the money supply for both questions is the same = $100.
1.B. Change in real money balances = 8%
The change in real money balances will be the same as the GDP growth rate if velocity is constant.
g Sunk costs are: Please choose the correct answer from the following choices, and then select the submit answer button. Answer choices extra costs associated with one more unit of something. financial costs any costs associated with making the decision to do something instead of doing the next best alternative. costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed
Answer:
costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
Explanation:
Sunk cost can be defined as a cost or an amount of money that has been spent on something in the past and as such cannot be recovered. Thus, because a sunk cost has been incurred by an individual or organization it can't be recovered and as such it is irrelevant in the decision-making process such as investments, projects etc.
Basically, sunk costs are referred to as fixed costs.
Sunk costs are the opposite of relevant costs because they can't be changed or recovered, as they've been spent or contracted in the past already. Hence, relevant cost are relevant for decision-making purposes but not sunk costs.
Hence, sunk costs are costs that have been incurred and cannot be reversed.
For example, ABC investors decide to acquire land and develop residential houses at a location X. This decision is informed on the fact that the government had recently enacted a policy that led to an increase in demand for residential properties in that location. 6 months into construction of the residential houses, the government reviews and rescinds the policy. This leads to a sharp decline in property values in location X. ABC investors had already incurred 10 million dollars in the project. The 10 million dollars is considered sunk cost.
g Foxx Company incurs $330000 overhead costs each year in its three main departments, setup ($15000), machining ($225000), and packing ($90000). The setup department performs 40 setups per year, the machining department works 5000 hours per year, and the packing department packs 500 orders per year. Information about Foxx’s two products is as follows: Product A1 Product B1 Number of setups 20 20 Machining hours 1000 4000 Orders packed 150 350 Number of products manufactured 600 400 Using ABC, how much overhead is assigned to Product A1 each year? $250500 $165000 $79500 $66000
Answer:
Total allocated costs= $79,500
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
setup= 15,000/40= $375 per setup
machining= 225,000/5,000= $45 per hour
packing= 90,000/500= $180 per order
Now, we can allocate costs to Product A1:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
setup=375*20= 7,500
machining= 45*1,000= 45,000
packing= 180*150= 27,000
Total allocated costs= $79,500
Mt Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides its consultants into three classes, associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to down-size in the recession. Specifically, there have been – and are expected to be – 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners. The work environment at Mt Kinley is rather competitive. After 4 years of working as an associate, a consultant goes "either up or out", i.e. becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after 6 years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBAs as associate consultants, no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (total of 20 years with the company). How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year? What is the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley?
Answer:
1. 50 consultants per year
2. 4%
Explanation:
1. Calculation to determine How many new MBA graduates does Mt Kinley have to hire every year
Using this formula
Flow Rate of associates= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of associates = 200 consultants / 4 years
Flow Rate of associates= 50 consultants per year
Therefore the numbers of MBA graduates that Mt Kinley have to hire every year is 50 consultants per year
2. Calculation to determine the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
First step is to calculate the Flow Rate of managers using this formula
Flow Rate of manager= Inventory / Flow Time
Let plug in the formula
Flow Rate of manager = 60 consultants / 6 years
Flow Rate of manager =10 consultants per year
Second step is to calculate the flow rate of partner using this formula
Flow rate of partner = Inventory/ Flow time
Let plug in the formula
Flow rate of partner = 20/10
Flow rate of partner = 2 partners per year
Third step is to calculate the probability of becoming a manager
Probability (Manager) = 10/50
Probability (Manager) = 20%
Fourth step is to calculate Probability of becoming a partner
Probability (Partner) = 2/10
Probability (Partner) = 20%
Now let calculate the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 20% x 20%
Probability of MBA graduate becoming a partner = 4%
Therefore the probability that an incoming MBA graduate would make partner at Mt Kinley is 4%

You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent. What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit= $23,647.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= 3,000,000
Numer of periods (n)= 40 years
Nominal rate= 10%
Inflation rate= 4.8%
To simplify calculations, we will calculate the real interest rate by deducting from the nominal interest rate the inflation rate:
Real interest rate= 0.1 - 0.048
Real interest rate= 0.052
Now, to calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (3,000,000*0.052) / [(1.052^40) - 1]
A= $23,647.9

Jayhawk Company reports current E&P of $450,000 and accumulated E&P of negative $297,500. Jayhawk distributed $500,000 to its sole shareholder, Christine Rock, on the last day of the year. Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock is $48,250
1. How much of the $500,000 distribution is treated as a dividend to Christine?
2. What is Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution?
3. What is Jayhawk’s balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year?
Answer:
1. The amount of the distribution treated as a dividend to Christine is equal to $450,000.
2. The amount of Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution is equal to $0.
3. Jayhawk's balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year is equal to the negative $297,500.
Explanation:
1. How much of the $500,000 distribution is treated as a dividend to Christine?
The amount of the distribution treated as a dividend to Christine is the equal to the current E&P of $450,000 reported by Jayhawk Company.
2. What is Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution?
This can b determined as follows:
Tax basis in Jayhawk stock after distribution = Max of (0, Current E&P + Previous tax basis - Distribution by Jayhawk') = Max of (0, $450,000 + $48,250 - $500,000) = Max of (0, - $1,750) = $0
Therefore, the amount of Christine’s tax basis in her Jayhawk stock after the distribution is equal to $0.
3. What is Jayhawk’s balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year?
Jayhawk's balance in accumulated E&P on the first day of next year is equal to the negative $297,500. This is because all the E&P of last year is paid as dividend.
The multiplier effect occurs when an initial increase (or decrease) in autonomous expenditure produces a greater increase (or decrease) in real GDP than the initial change. In which type of discretionary fiscal policy does the multiplier play a role? tax changes only neither government spending changes nor tax changes government spending changes only both government spending changes and tax changes Assume a marginal propensity to consume (MPC) of 0.5. Which discretionary fiscal policy would have a more pronounced impact on the economy? A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending, or a 800 billion dollar tax cut, would both have an equal impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar increase in government spending would have a more pronounced impact on the economy. A 800 billion dollar tax cut would have a more pronounced impact on the economy.
Answer:
The answer is "Choice d and Choice b".
Explanation:
In question 1:
The multiplier effect is produced whenever an initial rise (or decrease) of self-employed market capitalization (or decreases) GDP Growth higher than the original change. Where both increases in public spending or adjustments in taxes are produced by a budgetary monetary strategy, a multiplier mostly on the economy plays a major role in public spending and new taxes.
In question 2:
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a more noticeable influence on financial spending, via an 800 billion dollar increase in government expenditure. This will have more major economic effects on fiscal policy. More noticeable effects of increased spending will have on the aggregate throughout the economy.
The use of government budget funding policies to impact economic factors, particularly macroeconomic variables such as aggregate consumer spending, employment, inflation, and economic growth, is referred to as fiscal policy.
How is a fiscal policy that is discretionarily chosen?The multiplier impact occurs anytime an initial increase (or drop) in self-employed market capitalization (or reduces) GDP Growth that is greater than the original change.
When a fiscal monetary strategy produces both increases in public expenditure and tax adjustments, a multiplier based primarily on the economy plays a significant role in both public spending and new taxes.
This marginal demand risk of 0.5 would have a greater impact on financial expenditures, resulting in an 800 billion dollar rise in government spending.
This will have a greater impact on budgetary policy. The aggregate consequences of higher expenditure will be more visible throughout the economy.
Thus, Options B and D are correct.

The Mega-Bank is considering either a bankwide overhead rate or department overhead rates to allocate $135,000 of indirect costs. The bankwide rate could be based on either direct labor hours (DLH) or the number of loans processed. The departmental rates would be based on direct labor hours for Consumer Loans and a dual rate based on direct labor hours and the number of loans processed for Commercial Loans. The following information was gathered for the upcoming period:
Department DLH Loans Processed Direct Costs
Consumer 16,000 650 $350,000
Commercial 7,000 400 $250,000
Banc Corp. Trust estimates that it costs $500 to analyze and close a commercial loan. This amount has been included in the $410,000 of indirect costs. How much of the $410,000 indirect costs should be allocated to the Commercial Department?
Answer:
The Mega-Bank
The amount allocated to the Commercial Department is:
= $324,810.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Indirect costs = $410,000
Department DLH Loans Processed Direct Costs
Consumer 16,000 650 $350,000
Commercial 7,000 400 $250,000
Total 23,000 1,050 $600,000
Allocation Bases:
Bankwide rates:
DLH = $410,000/23,000 = $17.83
Loans processed = $410,000/1,050 = $390.48
Commercial Department Allocated Costs:
Cost to process loans = $500 * 400 = $200,000
Cost based on DLH = $17.83 * 7,000 = 124,810
Total costs = $324,810
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with three years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:$960,214.55$504,112.64$680,151.97$800,178.79
Answer: $800,178.79
Explanation:
This is a semi-annual coupon bond so convert rate and period to semi annual rates.
Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000,000 * 1/2 years
= $15,000
YTM = 11%/2 = 5.5%
Number of periods = 3 years * 2 = 6 semi annual periods
Value of Bond = Present value of coupon payments + Present value of par
= 15,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 5.5%)⁻⁶) / 5.5%) + 1,000,000 / (1 + 5.5%)⁶
= 74,932.9546296555 + 725,245.8330245964
= $800,178.79
The price index was 150 in the first year, 142.5 in the second year, and 138.2 in the third year. The economy experienced:________
a. 5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years.
b. 7.5 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent deflation between the second and third years.
c. 5.3 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.1 percent inflation between the second and third years.
d. 7.5 percent inflation between the first and second years, and 4.3 percent inflation between the second and third years.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
5.0 percent deflation between the first and second years, and 3.0 percent deflation between the second and third years. (a)
Explanation:
to calculate the percentage deflation, we will simply calculate the percentage change in price between the years stated. This is calculated as follows:
% change = [tex]\%\ change = \frac{P_2 - P_1}{P_1} \times 100\\where:\\P_1 = initial\ price\ index\\P_2 = New\ price\ index\\for\ first\ and\ second\ years\\\therefore \%\ change = \frac{142.5 - 150}{150} = \frac{-7.5}{150}= -0.05 \times 100 = -5\%\\[/tex]
Note that the negative sign shows a deflation.
if you use the same method for years two and three, you should get -3%, using P₁ as 142.5 and p₂ as 138.2. Hence option 'a' is correct.

Answer:
1. Variable Overhead Efficiency
= Standard rate * (Actual hours - Standard hours)
= 3 * ( 8,800 * 0.3 - 2,560)
= 3 * 80
= $240 Favorable
2. Materials Quantity Variance:
= Standard price * (Standard quantity - Actual quantity)
= 3 * (8,800 * 9.2 - 78,150)
= 3 * 2,810
= $8,430 favorable
3. Materials price variance:
= Standard cost of purchased materials -Actual cost of purchased materials
= (3 * 85,900) - 240,520
= $17,180 Favorable
4. Labor efficiency variance
= Standard labor rate * ( Actual hours worked - Standard labor hours)
= 17 * ( 2,560 - 8,800 * 0.3)
= 17 * 80
= $1,360 Favorable
5. Labor rate variance:
= (Standard rate * actual hours worked) - Actual labor cost
= 17 * 2,560 - 39,424
= $4,096 favorable
6. Variable Overhead rate variance:
= (Overhead rate * Actual hours) - Overhead cost
= (3 * 2,560) - 6,912
= $768 Favorable
