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

Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method. (Round gross profit percentage to 2 decimal places, and intermediate calculations to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
Book/tax difference
Answer:
a. Difference between book income and tax income = $229,505.73
b. The difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Deferred tax liability = $48,196.20
Explanation:
a. Compute the difference between TPW's book and tax income resulting from the installment sale method.
This can be computed as follows:
Amount realized on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Value of interest- bearing note given by the purchaser = $89,000 + $731,000 = $820,000
Adjusted tax basis in land = $549,000
Book income = Amount realized on sale of land - adjusted tax basis in hand = $820,000 - $549,000 = $271,000
Gross profit percent = Book income / Amount realized on sale of land = $271,000 / $820,000 = 0.3305, or 33.05%
Cash received on sale of land = Cash paid by purchaser + Principal payment received in August = $89,000 + $36,550 = $125,550
Tax income =Cash received on sale of land * Gross profit percent = $125,550 * 33.05% = $41,494.28
Difference between book income and tax income = Book income - Tax income = $271,000 - $41,494.28 = $229,505.73
b. Is this difference favorable or unfavorable?
Since the book income greater than the tax income, this implies that the difference between book income and tax income is favorable.
c. Using a 21 percent tax rate, compute PTR's deferred tax asset or liability (identify which) resulting from the book/tax difference.
Deferred tax liability = Difference between book income and tax income * 21% = $229,505.73 * 21% = $48,196.20

Explanation:
Otto and Monica are married taxpayers who file a joint tax return. For the current tax year, they have AGI of $99,600. They have excess depreciation on real estate of $59,760, which must be added back to AGI to arrive at AMTI. The amount of their mortgage interest expense for the year was $19,920, and they made charitable contributions of $9,960. They have no other itemized deductions. If Otto and Monica's taxable income for the current year is $69,720, determine the amount of their AMTI.
Answer: $129480
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the amount of their AMTI will be calculated as:
AGI = $99600
Add: Excess Depreciation on Real Estate = $59760
Less: Mortgage Interest Expenses = $19920
Less : Charitable Contribution = $9960
AMTI = $129480

Actual sales revenue in dollars is 3.5% higher than budgeted, actual sales price is 10% lower than budgeted, actual sales volume in units is 15% higher than budgeted, actual input prices are 5% lower than budgeted, and actual input quantities per unit are 5% lower than budgeted. Characterize input price and input efficiency variances as favorable (F) or unfavorable (U):
Answer:
Input price and input efficiency variances are:
Favorable.
Explanation:
The input price is the cost of production. When the actual cost of production (input price) is 5% lower than budgeted, it is a favorable outcome. Similarly, when the input efficiency (that is the quantity of input) is 5% lower than budgeted, it shows a favorable outcome. Therefore, the variances of these input elements (price and efficiency) are all together favorable.

Identify the possible reason or reasons for this stark difference between income inequality and consumption inequality. Intergenerational mobility allows children to consume more than their parents. The poverty line does not reflect relative poverty. The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.
Answer:
The richest quintile has the ability to save a larger percentage of its income. Individuals experiencing temporary fluctuations in their incomes are more likely to maintain moderate spending habits.Explanation:
First part of this question reads:
In the United States, the richest quintile of the population receives 13 times as much income as the poorest quintile. However, the richest quintile only spends 4 times as much as the poorest quintile.
The richest quantile can afford to save more than the poorest quantile because they get enough income to manage their daily needs and then save. The poorest quantile on the other hand face a daily struggle and so have to spend all or most of their income to survive.
When the richer quantile goes through temporary fluctuations, they maintain moderate spending because they know it is temporary and so they keep saving. This is not the case for the poorer quantiles who have to spend according to their income - regardless of its fluctuating - to survive.
Which describes the role of automatic stabilizers in the economy? Automatic stabilizers are changes in the money supply that occur automatically when inflation or unemployment occurs. Automatic stabilizers refer to industries that are not subject to the fluctuations of the economy, and therefore moderate the effects of recessions. Food, housing, and the military are examples of these industries, which are usually more stable than the rest of the economy. Automatic stabilizers have a similar impact as discretionary fiscal policy but occur automatically, without action by the government. Automatic stabilizers increase aggregate demand during recessions and reduce aggregate demand during expansions. Automatic stabilizers are discretionary changes to taxes, government spending, and transfers that Congress makes in an attempt to improve the economy.

Explanation:
This morning, you purchased a seventeen-year, 6.45% annual coupon bond with face value of $1,000 at a price of $1,030.04. Just after purchasing the bond, the yield to maturity of the bond falls to 5.50 percent and stays at that level throughout your investment period. If you sell your bond after holding it for seven years, what will be your realized rate of return
Answer:
6.73%
Explanation:
the price of the bond in seven years is:
PV = $1,000 / (1 + 5.50%)¹⁰ = $585.43
PV of coupon payments = $64.50 x 7.538 (PVIFA, 5.5%, 10 years) = $486.20
market price = $1,071.63
using an excel spreadsheet of financial calculator, the annual rate of return:
year 0 = -1030.04
year 1 = 64.5
year 2 = 64.5
year 3 = 64.5
year 4 = 64.5
year 5 = 64.5
year 6 = 64.5
year 7 = 1136.13
IRR = 6.73%

b. Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
c. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance, fixed factory overhead volume variance, and total factory overhead cost variance.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
In part a, we need to find the following 3 requirements:
1. Direct Materials Price Variance
2. Direct Materials Quantity Variance
3. Total Direct Materials Cost Variance
Direct Materials Price Variance:
It can be calculated by using the following formula:
DMPV = AQ multiplied by (AP minus the SP)
Where,
DMPV = Direct Materials Price Variance
AQ = Actual Quantity
AP = Actual Price
SP = Standard Price
We do have all the data, so just plug in the values into the above equation to get the DMPV.
AQ = 101,000
AP = 6.50 USD
SP = 6.40 USD
So,
DMPV = 101,000 ( 6.50 - 6.40)
DMPV = 10,100 USD
Direct Materials Quantity Variance:
DMQV = SP ( AQ - SQ )
Where,
DMQV = Direct Materials Quantity Variance = ?
SP = Standard Price = 6.40 USD
AQ = Actual Quantity = 101,000
SQ = Standard Quantity = 100,000
Plugging in the values:
DMQV = 6.40 ( 101,000 - 100,000)
DMQV = 6400 USD
Total Direct Materials Cost Variance:
DMCV = SMC - AMC
Where,
DMCV = Direct Materials Cost Variance = ?
SMC = Standard Market Cost = 6.40 USD x 100,000
AMC = Actual market Cost = 6.50 USD x 101,000
DMCV = (6.40 USD x 100,000) - (6.50 USD x 101,000)
DMCV = 640,000 - 656,500
DMCV = 16,500 USD
b.
For part b, we need following particulars:
1. Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV)
2. Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV)
3. Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
Direct Labor Rate Variance (DLRV) :
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
Where,
ADLR = Actual Direct Labor Rate = 15.40 USD
SDLR = Standard Direct Labor Rate = 15.75 USD
ADLH = Actual Direct Labor Hour = 2000
So,
DLRV = (ADLR - SDLR) x ADLH
DLRV = (15.40 USD - 15.75 USD ) x 2000
DLRV = 700 USD
Direct Labor Time Variance (DLTV):
DLTV = ( ADLH - SDLH ) x SDLR
SDLH = Standard Direct Labor Hour = 2080
DLTV = ( 2000 - 2080 ) x 15.75 USD
DLTV = 1260 USD
Direct Labor Cost Variance (DLCV)
DLCV = SDLC - ADLC
SDLC = Standard Direct Labor Cost
ADLC = Actual Direct Labor Cost
DLCV = (1540 x 2000) - (15.75 x 2080)
DLCV = 1960 USD
c.
For Part c, we need following:
1. variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV)
2. fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV)
3. Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV)
variable factory overhead controllable variance (VFOCV):
VFOCV = AFO - B
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 8200
B = Budgeted Allowance Based on Standard Hours Allowed = 4160x0.5x4
B = 8320 USD
VFOCV = 8200 - 8320
VFOCV = 120 USD
fixed factory overhead volume variance (FFOVV) :
FFOVV = (S - BH ) x SOR
Where,
S = Standard Hours for actual output = 4160 x 0.5
BH = Budgeted Hours = 2080
SOR = Standard Overhead Rate = 6 USD
FFOVV = (4160 x 0.5 - 2080) x 6
FFOVV = 0 USD
Total factory overhead cost variance (TFOCV):
TFOCV = AFO - SO
Where,
AFO = Actual Factory Overhead = 20,200
SO = Standard Overhead = 2080 x 10
TFOCV = 20,200 - ( 2080 x 10 )
TFOCV = 600 USD
Several financial or economic factors are relevant to the rent-or-buy decision. From the following list, identify the financial or economic factors that should be considered when performing this analysis. Check all that apply.
a. The pride that comes from owning your own home
b. Current and expected future housing prices
c. Current and expected future housing-related tax deductions
Answer:
The financial and economic factors that should be considered when performing this analysis are:
b. Current and expected future housing prices
c. Current and expected future housing-related tax deductions
Explanation:
a) A rent-or-buy decision should be based on financial and economic factors. There is the financial implication of making a down payment, closing costs, and maintenance expenses when one decides to own a home instead of renting an apartment. However, for the occupant, renting provides the advantage of known monthly costs. Some advantages of owning a house are building equity and tax benefits. The pride that comes that comes from owning a home is not a financial and economic benefit.
Which of the following statements are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities?
a. Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
b. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
c. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
Answer: A. Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
B. No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
C. Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
Explanation:
The statements that are true regarding owners' equity and ownership rights held in noncorporate entities include:
• No distinction is made between invested capital and retained earnings for a proprietorship or a partnership.
• Neither proprietorships or partnerships issue stock.
• Owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital.
We should note that sole proprietorships and partnership typically don't have stockholders and shouldn't issue stock as they aren't separated from their founders.
Also, the owners' equity for proprietorships and partnerships is usually referred to as capital. We should note that for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, the equity is the owners capital account which can be seen on the balance sheet.

Cost of goods sold 140,000 98,000
Gross profit $ 166,000 $ 187,300
The average days inventory for ATC (rounded) for 2021 is: (Round your intermediate calculations to two decimal places. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)
A. 171 days.
B. 222 days.
C. 231 days
D. Less than 100 days.
Answer:
D. Less than 100 days
Explanation:
Average days inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover rate
But
Inventory turnover rate = Cost of goods sold / Average inventory
Also,
Average inventory = (Beginning inventory + Ending inventory) / 2
= ($62,000 + $18,000) / 2
= $40,000
Inventory turnover rate = $201,000 / $40,000 = 5.025
Average days inventory = 365 / 5.025 = 72.64 days
A company issued 5%, 20-year bonds with a face amount of $100 million. The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity is 4%. Interest is paid semiannually. At what price did the bonds sell
Answer:
The bond was sold at $1,136.78.
Explanation:
Annual coupon = Bond face value * Coupon rate = $1000 * 5% = $50
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) .......... (1)
Where;
r = semi-annul interest rate = 4% / 2 = 2%, or 0.02
n = number of period = 20 years * Number of semiannuals in a year = 20 * 2 = 40 semi-annuals
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Annual coupon discount factor = ((1-(1/(1 + 0.02))^40)/0.02) = 27.3554792407382
Present value of coupon = (Annual coupon * Annual coupon discount factor) / 2 = ($50 * 27.3554792407382) / 2 = $683.886981018455
Present value of the face value of the bond = Face value / (1 + r)^n = $1,000 / (1 + 0.02)^40 = $452.890415185236
Therefore, we have:
Price of bond = Present value of coupon + Present value of the face value of the bond = $683.886981018455 + $452.890415185236 = $1,136.77739620369
Approximating to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price of bond = $1,136.78
Therefore, the bond was sold at $1,136.78.
This year, Amy purchased $1,900 of equipment for use in her business. However, the machine was damaged in a traffic accident while Amy was transporting the equipment to her business. Note that because Amy did not place the equipment into service during the year, she does not claim any depreciation or cost recovery expense for the equipment. Problem 9-57 Part-a (Algo) a. After the accident, Amy had the choice of repairing the equipment for $2,260 or selling the equipment to a junk shop for $620. Amy sold the equipment. What amount can Amy deduct for the loss of the equipment
Answer:
For the complete destruction of a business asset, Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the tax basis of the machine less any recovery. Hence, Amy can claim a casualty deduction for $1,700 ($2,000-$300)b.
For partial destruction of a business asset, Amy can claim a casualty loss deduction for the lesser of the economic loss (the cost of repair) or the tax basis of the machine. In this case, Amy can deduct $800

Many commodities have futures markets associated with them. A futures market is a prediction market that aggregates information based on uncertain events that may impact the market, and buyers commit to a financial contract in which they obligate themselves to purchasing a fixed quantity of the asset at a specified price on a certain date. In April, 2019, the national average price of unleaded gasoline was $2.87 per gallon. At the same time, the futures price for a June contract on unleaded gasoline was $2.07 per gallon.
A. The forecasted price in the futures market suggests that unleaded gasoline prices will_____by June of 2019.
B. If the information transmitted in this market is accurate and unbiased, then the predict____the actual price we will see in June.
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Unleaded fuel prices are expected to fall by June 2019 according to future demand forecasts.
Since the future price is less than the spot price, it would be better for long-term buyers who can wait for the price to increase because the market is currently in BACKWARDATION. This happens due to a short-term disparity in demand and supply.
b.
If the information in this sector is reliable and impartial, the expected June price will most likely be similar to the real price we will see in June.
It is reliable if the market is accurate and impartial, i.e. the market research on which knowledge flows.
The prices of goods are either integrated or expressed in such a flow of knowledge.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 55,900
Dividends declared and paid in 2020 32,000
Increase in cash balance from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020 22,000
Increase in long-term debt in 2020 44,500
Required:
From the above data, calculate the Retained Earnings balance as of December 31, 2020.
Answer:
the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is $72,900
Explanation:
The computation of the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is given below:
Ending retained earning balance = Opening retained earnings + net income - dividend paid
= $49,000 + $55,900 - $32,000
= $72,900
hence, the retained earnings balance as on Dec 31,2020 is $72,900
On January 1, Year 1, Friedman Company purchased a truck that cost $35,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 200,000 miles over 8 years and a $7,000 salvage value. During Year 2, Friedman drove the truck 33,000 miles. The company uses the units-of-production method. The amount of depreciation expense recognized in Year 2 is: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
$4620
Explanation:
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
33,000 / 2000,000) x ($35,000 - $7000) = $4620
On January 1, Zeibart Company purchases equipment for $220,000. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 10 years and expected salvage value of $25,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Four years later, economic factors cause the fair value of the equipment to decline to $85,000. On this date, Zeibart examines the equipment for impairment and estimates undiscounted expected cash inflows from this equipment of $115,000
(1) Compute the annual depreciation expense relating to this equipment.
(2) Compute the equipment’s net book value at the end of the fourth year.
(3) If the equipment is impaired at the end of the fourth year, compute the impairment loss. (If the equipment is not impaired, enter 0.)
(4) Compute the annual depreciation expense
Answer:
(1) $19,500
(2) $142,000
(3) $27,000
(4) $15,000
Explanation:
Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the cost of an asset to the p/l over the useful life of the asset. It may be computed as
Depreciation = (cost - salvage value)/useful life
Annual depreciation = ($220,000 - $25,000)/10
= $19,500
4 years later
Carrying amount of the equipment
= $220,000 - 4 * $19,500
= $220,000 - $78,000
= $142,000
If the asset is impaired
An asset is said to be impaired when the carrying amount is higher than recoverable amount where the recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or the value in use of the asset which is the present value of the future expected inflow from the use of the asset.
Value in use = $115,000
Fair value = $85,000
Value in use = $115,000
Impairment loss = $142,000 - $115,000
= $27,000
Remaining number of years is 6
New carrying amount = $115,000
the annual depreciation expense = ($115,000 - $25,000)/6
= $90,000/6
= $15,000
Some hoodlums who have been earning money by stealing copper pipes and cable and selling them to recyclers are driving around one evening when they spot an unattended strange-looking building sitting out in the middle of a field, break in, and steal all of the copper wire they can haul in their truck, disabling the VOR air navigation facility.
Required:
In addition to trespassing, breaking and entering, and burglary, have they committed any aviation-specific federal crimes? If so, identify each such crime(s) and describe the penalties.
Answer:
Yes they have 18 U.S. Code § 32 (a) Clause 3Explanation:
With aviation being such a sensitive field that requires a lot of oversight, Congress enacted rules to punish aviation crimes which means that such crimes fall under Federal jurisdiction and as this crime is a crime against an aviation facility, it is a Federal crime.
The crime in question here falls under US. Code 32 - Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities under subsection (a)3 which talks about damaging an air navigation facility and how this can endanger the safety of flights en route.
Their punishment would be either a fine, imprisonment of not more than five years or both.

larry Nelson holds 1,000 shares of General Electric (GE) common stock. As a stockholder, he has the right to be involved in the election of its directors, who are responsible for managing the company and achieving the company’s objectives. True or False: Larry will receive dividends before preferred stockholders.

General Importers announced that it will pay a dividend of $3.85 per share one year from today. After that, the company expects a slowdown in its business and will not pay a dividend for the next 5 years. Then, 7 years from today, the company will begin paying an annual dividend of $1.95 forever. The required return is 11.8 percent. What is the price of the stock today
Answer:
The right response is "$11.91".
Explanation:
Dividend
= $3.85 per share
Required return
= 11.8%
Annual dividend
= 1.95
Now,
The price of share at the beginning of year 7 will be:
= [tex]\frac{Annual \ dividend}{Required \ return}[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
= [tex]\frac{1.95}{11.8 \ percent}[/tex]
= [tex]16.53[/tex] ($)
So,
The price of the stock today will be:
= [tex]Present \ value \ of \ all \ future \ dividend[/tex]
= [tex]3.85\times 0.894+16.53\times 0.512[/tex]
= [tex]3.4419+8.46336[/tex]
= [tex]11.91[/tex] ($)
