Answer:
$6250
$5000
$5250
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($212,000 - $12,000) / 8 = $25,000
The machine was used for only 3 months in the fiscal year. Thus, the depreciation expense = $25,000 x (3/12) = $6250
Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
(1000 / 40,000) x ($212,000 - $12,000) = $5000
Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)
($212,000 - $12,000) x (525 / 20,0000) = $5250
Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 45% of cost in 2021, 30% in 2022, and 25% in 2023. Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $460,000, which includes interest revenue of $68,000 from municipal governmental bonds. The enacted tax rate is 25%.
Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above:
Required:
1. Complete the following table given below and prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2021.
2. What is Southern Atlantic’s 2021 net income?
Answer:
1. Depreciation as per books = Cost of purchase/Useful life
Depreciation as per books = $40,000/4
Depreciation as per books = $10,000
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = Cost of purchase * Deduction rate
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $40,000 * 45%
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $18,000
Temporary difference = $18,000 - $10,000
Temporary difference = $8,000

Suppose Dina gets a sales bonus at her place of work that gives her an extra $800 of disposable income. She chooses to spend $600 and save the remaining $200. From this, you can tell that Dina's marginal propensity to consume (MPC) is , and her marginal propensity to save (MPS) is . Mathematically, it must always be true that: Disposable Income = Therefore, it must also be true that: 1 =
Answer:
MPC = 0.75
MPS = 0.25
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
Marginal Propensity to Consume + Marginal Propensity to Save = 1
Explanation:
Marginal propensity to consume is the proportion of disposable income that is spent on consumption
Marginal propensity to consume = amount consumed / disposable income
Marginal propensity to save is the proportion of disposable income that is saved
Marginal propensity to save = amount saved / disposable income
MPC + MPS = 1
Disposable income = amount spent on consumption + amount saved
MPC = 600 / 800 = 0.75
MPS = 200 / 800 = 0.25
Waterways has discovered that a small fitting it now manufactures at a cost of $1.00 per unit could be bought elsewhere for $0.83 per unit. Waterways has fixed costs of $0.20 per unit that cannot be eliminated by buying this unit. Waterways needs 474,000 of these units each year. If Waterways decides to buy rather than produce the small fitting, it can devote the machinery and labor to making a timing unit it now buys from another company. Waterways uses approximately 500 of these units each year. The cost of the unit is $13.26. To aid in the production of this unit, Waterways would need to purchase a new machine at a cost of $2,369, and the cost of producing the units would be $10.00 a unit. Without considering the possibility of making the timing unit, evaluate whether Waterways should buy or continue to make the small fitting. The company should (buy/Make) the fitting. Incremental cost / (savings) will be ____________$
Answer:
Particulars Make Buy Incremental cost
Manufacturing cost $474,000 $474,000
Purchase $393,420 ($393,420)
(474,000*$0.83)
Fixed Cost $94,800 ($94,800)
(474,000*$0.20)
Total relevant cost $474,000 $488,220 ($14,220)
Conclusion: The company should make the fitting and the incremental savings will be $14,220

The marginal revenue curve of a firm with market power will always lie below its demand curve because of:_____.
a. the discount effect and the substitution effect.
b. the substitution effect and the income effect.
c. the output effect and the discount effect.
d. the output effect and the substitution effect.
Answer: c. the output effect and the discount effect.

The output effect is how firms with market power control their production in honest to make profit.
A firm with market farm will have to reduce it's marginal revenue curve to increase sales.
The marginal revenue will therefore be below the Demand curve to show that the marginal revenue has to be reduced for a team to sell more goods.
Sheridan Company has 7500 shares of 5%, $100 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 15000 shares of $1 par value common stock outstanding at December 31, 2020. There were no dividends declared in 2018. The board of directors declares and pays a $71250 dividend in 2019 and in 2020. What is the amount of dividends received by the common stockholders in 2020
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
The previous year preference dividend payable
= Previous year preferred dividend payable + Current year preference dividend payable - Total dividend paid in 2019
= (7,500 × $100 × 0.05) + (7,500 × $100 × 0.05) - $71,250
= $37,500 + $37,500 - $71,250
= $3,750
The dividends received by stockholders in 2020 will be
= Total dividend paid in 2020 - Current year preferred dividend - Previous year preference dividend payable
= ($71,250 - $37,500 - $3,750)

The Brite Beverage Company bottles soft drinks into aluminum cans. The manufacturing process consists of three activities:
Mixing: water, sugar, and beverage concentrate are mixed.
Filling: mixed beverage is filled into 12-oz. cans.
Packaging: properly filled cans are boxed into cardboard "fridge packs."
The activity costs associated with these activities for the period are as follows:
Mixing $286,000
Filling 253,500
Packaging 110,500
Total $650,000
The activity costs do not include materials costs, which are ignored for this analysis. Each can is expected to contain 12 ounces of beverage. Thus, after being filled, each can is automatically weighed. If a can is too light, it is rejected, or "kicked," from the filling line prior to being packaged. The primary cause of kicks is heat expansion. With heat expansion, the beverage overflows during filling, resulting in underweight cans. This process begins by mixing and filling 6,760,000 cans during the period, of which only 6,500,000 cans are actually packaged. 260,000 cans are rejected due to underweight kicks. A process improvement team has determined that cooling the cans prior to filling them will reduce the amount of overflows due to expansion. After this improvement, the number of kicks is expected to decline from 260,000 cans to 65,000 cans, thus increasing the number of filled cans to 6,695,000 [6,500,000 (260,000 - 65,000)].
Required:
a. Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.
b. Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
c. Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements.
Answer:
A. $0.1 per can
B. $3,315
C. 0.098 per packaged can
Explanation:
a) Calculation to Determine the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations.
Using this formula
Total activity cost per packaged = Total activity cost under present operations ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost per packaged= $650,000 ÷ 6,500,000
Total activity cost per packaged= $0.1 per can
Therefore the total activity cost per packaged can under present operations is $0.1 per can
b) Calculation to Determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
First step is to calculate the Packaging cost per bottle =
Using this formula
Packaging cost per bottle = Current packaging cost ÷ total cans packaged
Let plug in the formula
Packaging cost per bottle = 110,500 ÷ 6,500,000
Packaging cost per bottle = $0.017 per bottle
Second step is to calculate the Total packaging cost
Using this formula
Total packaging cost = Total bottle × cost per bottle
Let plug in the formula
Total packaging cost= 6,695,000 × $0.017
Total packaging cost= $113,815
Now let determine the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements.
Using this formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs = total packaging cost - current packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $113,815 - 110,500
Amount of increased packaging activity costs= $3,315
Therefore the amount of increased packaging activity costs from the expected improvements is $3,315
c) Calculation to Determine the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements
First step is to calculate Total activity cost using this formula
Total activity cost = Mixing cost + filling cost + packaging cost
Let plug in the formula
Total activity cost == $286,000 + $253,500 + $113,815
Total activity cost == $653,315
Now let determine the Expected total activity cost per packaged can
Using this formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can = Total activity cost ÷ no. of bottles
Let plug in the formula
Expected total activity cost per packaged can= $653,315 ÷ 6,695,000
Expected total activity cost per packaged can=0.098 per packaged can
Therefore the expected total activity cost per packaged can after improvements is 0.098 per packaged can

Let plug in the formula
Qualified residence interest=(1,000,000÷$1,330,800)×$71,300
Qualified residence interest=$53,577
Therefore the Qualified residence interest is $53,577

d. 3,014,240.
Answer:
Cost of Land = $1,471,800
Cost of Building = $4,626,960
Explanation:
Note: "The options attached to the question are incorrect because its belongs to another question entirely and this can be seen as attached as picture below"
1. Cost of Land = Purchase Value + Cost Incurred to Tear Down two Buildings - Salvage + Legal Fees + Title Insurance Cost + Assessment Cost
Cost of Land = $1345000 + $116000 - $8100 + $5500 + $3900 + $9500
Cost of Land = $1,471,800
2. Cost of Building = Architect's Fees + Liability Insurance Cost + Excavation Cost + Contractor's Payment + Interest Cost
Cost of Building = $46900 + $4200 + $15860 + $4300000 + 260000
Cost of Building = $4,626,960
A company prints proceedings books for a trade show that are sold to attendees for $10 per book. The books cost the company $2 per book to make. Any books left over at the end of the trade show can be sold to a local paper mill for $0.50 each, but it costs the printing company $0.25 per book to haul them to the paper mill. What are the underage and overage costs for the books
Answer and Explanation:
Given that
Selling price = $10
Cost price = $2
Now
The Salvage Value (SV) = 0.50 - 0.25 = 0.25
So,
Underage penalty (Cu) = Selling price - Cost price
= $10 - $2
= $8
And,
Overage penalty (Co) = Cost price - Salvage Value
= $2 - $0.25

Units-of-activity Depreciation A truck acquired at a cost of $160,000 has an estimated residual value of $10,350, has an estimated useful life of 41,000 miles, and was driven 3,300 miles during the year. Determine the following. If required, round your answer for the depreciation rate to two decimal places. (a) The depreciable cost $fill in the blank 1 (b) The depreciation rate $fill in the blank 2 per mile (c) The units-of-activity depreciation for the year $fill in the blank 3
Answer:
Cost of Truck = $160,000
Residual Value = $10,350
Useful Life = 41,000 miles
a. Depreciable Cost = Cost of Truck / Residual Value
Depreciable Cost = $160,000 - $10,350
Depreciable Cost = $149,650
b. Depreciation Rate = Depreciable Cost / Useful Life
Depreciation Rate = $149,650 / 41,000
Depreciation Rate = $3.65 per mile
c. Number of miles driven during the year = 3,300
Depreciation for the Year = Depreciation Rate * Number of miles driven during the year
Depreciation for the Year = $3.65 per mile * 3,300
Depreciation for the Year = $12,045

Subject: Interns
Staff:
As you may be aware, we have for the past year been considering changing our approach to interns. Your management council recently made a decision to offer compensation to the interns in our internship program because we learned that in two fields (computer science and information systems) interns are usually paid, which is the norm. However, we will be unable to offer any more than three internships.
In collaboration with our nearby college, we have narrowed the field to six excellent candidates. These six candidates will be interviewed. This is to inform you that you are required to attend three interviewing sessions for these student candidates. Your presence is needed at these sessions to help us avoid making poor selections.
You should mark your calendars for the following three times. We are scheduling the first set of interviews for April 5 to meet in the conference room. Please examine all the candidates’ résumés, which are attached, and send me your ranking lists.
The second interviewing session is scheduled for April 8 in Office 22 (the conference room was already scheduled). On April 11 we can finish up in the conference room. All of the meetings will start at 2 p.m. In view of the fact that your projects need fresh ideas and talented new team members, I should not have to urge you to attend and be well prepared.

1. Does not provide a helpful subject line.
2. Starts indirectly with an explanation instead of the main idea: scheduling interviews.
3. Fails to develop reader benefits, such as explaining why the readers should be interested.
4. Sounds negative (unable to offer; avoid making poor selections; should not have to urge you).
5. Buries a verb (made a decision instead of decided).
6. Has a long lead-in (This is to inform you that).
7. Suffers from flabby expression (in view of the fact that), other wordiness, repetition, and a demanding tone.
8. Fails to make the interview dates and rooms highly readable with a list.
9. Inserts request (send me your ranking lists) in the middle of a paragraph instead of at the end of the message where action items should go.
10. Does not include an end date and reason for returning the ranking lists.

Presented below is a list of items that could be included in the intangible assets section of the balance sheet. Choose the items that meet the qualifications to be treated as an intangible asset on the balance sheet.
a. Unsuccessful legal defense costs of trademark
b. Legal costs in securing copyright
c. Purchased patent
d. Investment in subsidiary
e. Filing fees for patent
f. Purchase of a franchise
g. Successful legal defense costs for copyright
h. Research costs for new drug
i. Sale of a franchise
j. Internal development costs for patent
k. Purchased copyright
l. Initial training costs for startup of new business
Answer:
Intangible Assets:
c. Purchased patent
f. Purchase of a franchise
k. Purchased copyright
Explanation:
Intangible assets are financial resources that have no physical properties. They must be acquired by the entity as a result of past events to be recognized. Examples of intangible assets are Brands, Goodwill, Intellectual properties (e.g. Trade Secrets, Patents, Trademark, and Copyrights), Licensing rights, Customer lists, and qualified R&D.
They are usually amortized over their estimated useful life. Annually, the entity must carry out impairment tests to determine if there is an impairment loss, especially for indefinite intangible assets which are not amortized.
The legal costs are not intangible assets on their own but can be capitalized. This means that they can be included in the affected intangible assets.

On December 27, 2020, Roberta purchased four tickets to a charity ball sponsored by the city of San Diego for the benefit of underprivileged children. Each ticket cost $125 and had a fair market value of $25. On the same day as the purchase, Roberta gave the tickets to the minister of her church for personal use by his family. At the time of the gift of the tickets, Roberta pledged $11,050 to the building fund of her church. The pledge was satisfied by a check dated December 31, 2020, but not mailed until January 3, 2021.
a. Presuming Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, she can deduct $_________ for the tickets and $____________ for the pledge as a charitable contribution for 2018.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta were an accrual basis taxpayer?
Answer:
a. Presuming that Roberta is a cash basis and calendar year taxpayer, how much can she deduct as a charitable contribution for 2020?
Roberta can deduct ($125 x 4) - ($25 x 4) = $500 - $100 = $500. She cannot deduct the check because it was not mailed before December 31.
b. Would the amount of the deduction be any different if Roberta was an accrual basis taxpayer? Explain.
As an accrual taxpayer, she could deduct $500 + $11,050 = $11,550. She had already written the check and the fact that it was mailed on January 3 doesn't make a difference for an accrual taxpayer.
g 2. Problems and Applications Q2 Indicate whether each of the following transactions represents an increase in net exports, a decrease in net exports, an increase in net capital outflow, or a decrease in net capital outflow for the United States. Transaction Net Exports Net Capital Outflow Increase Decrease Increase Decrease An American buys a Sony TV. An American buys a share of Sony stock. The Japanese car manufacturer Nissan builds a factory in Ohio. A German citizen buys an Apple computer.
Answer and Explanation:
a. Since an american buys a sony tv so it would decrease the net exports as we know that net exports would be determined by deducting the imports from exports. Here the sony is an import so if an import is increase the net export would decrease
b. As the american purchase a sony stock share so it would increase the net capital outlow as the financial asset and stock would be shown in the capital account. as the money is given to sony so it would increase the net capital outflow
c. Sine the Japanese car would build a factory in Ohio so it decrease the net capital outflow as it is an imported good
d. As German citizen purchase an apple computer so it would rise the net exports as export would increase
Dixie Chicken is about to close one of its fast food franchises. As part of the closing, the firm will sell a refrigeration unit and its cooking units. The book value of the refrigeration unit is currently $18,203.00, while the book value of the cooking unit is $3,713.00. A buyer has offered $12,454.00 for the refrigerator and $6,116.00 for the cooking unit. The tax rate facing the firm is 35.00%. What is the cash flow from selling these assets
Answer:
$19741.10
Explanation:
Cash flow from the sale = salvage value - tax(salvage value - book value)
Salvage value is the price at which the asset is sold
The refrigerator : $12,454.00 -0.35($12,454.00 - $18,203.00) = $14,466.15
$6,116.00 - 0.35($6,116.00 - $3,713.00) = $5274.95
Total cash flow = $5274.95 + $14,466.15 = $19741.10
It takes courage to kill a project, but sometimes you know it has to be done. Some common symptoms of a failing project are ill-defined initial requirements, constant changes in scope, excessive changes in resources and personnel, and extreme stress/tension over anticipated changes. Yet, a project may have followed the "book" and done everything right, but still need to be terminated. This was the case with a project in the U.K. where the client was highly committed to the project, contributing time, resources, and prompt decisions. The scope was clear, completion criteria agreed upon, the budget and timeframe acceptable to all. Early on, however, an unavoidable scope change had to be made, requiring a 20 percent increase in time and a 10 percent increase in cost, agreed to by the client. As the project approached the end of the fi rst phase, it was clear that the quality and schedule were both deteriorating, as indicated in progress reports to both the client and senior management. A quick review showed that the results were not going to be acceptable. With the agreement of the PM, an outside Expert was called in to review the effort to date and make a recommendation. Then a joint meeting was held with the Expert, the PM, the Program Manager, and the primary contractor where it was decided that the best thing to do was to work together to complete phase one and then terminate the project, with a clean handover to another team to tackle phase two. Although disappointing to everyone, the close and frequent communications of both progress and concerns throughout the project with upper management and the client, offered in timely, digestible amounts, reduced their expectations and protected the client from a surprise at the end. Honest, consistent communication throughout the project life cycle resulted in improved trust, integrity, and confi dence in the vendor and their team.
Required:
a. What are your thoughts about doing everything right and the project still failing?
b. Does the admonition "Never surprise the boss!" now make more sense? Why?
c. Do you think the scope change at the beginning was the problem here, or was there going to be a problem anyway?
Solution :
a). There are several methodologies for the projects that are followed by the different companies. The successful of any project depends upon the far sightedness of the project manager and the ability of him to the execute the project in a proper order. One of the key factors that makes a project complete is the behavior of the people.
The vendors incur some excessive or some unnecessary costs to the project of they are not properly managed. The duty of the project manager is to foresee the scope of change if there is any.
If there were some additional cost and additional time for the completion of the project, then it means that it will delay the benefits of the project to others and hence attracts lower return of investments. Even though everything went according to the papers or the book, there is a lack of dedication on the project manager who believed and trusted the vendor too much.
b). A manager needs complete and clear information for an effective decision making. In any project, surprises gives a lesser amount of time and also less information related tot he project to resolve any issues that occurs at any time. It also disappoints the management that leads to spur of moment decision. So, 'Never surprise he Boss' makes a complete sentence.
c). The major factor why the project failed is the changed in the scope. The objectives are poorly cited and the timelines went overhead including the cost of the project. Too much trust of the project manager on the vendor also lead to the schedule and the quality issues.
a. Describe an important decision in your academic or personal life that you will have to make in the near future.
b. Using the five-step decision-making approach , analyze your decision and conclude with your "best" choice.
Explanation:
a. Describe an important decision in your academic or personal life that you will have to make in the near future.
An important decision for all people is to choose which professional career to follow, since there are people with different skills, which can cause some difficulty in choosing which academic course to follow.
It is essential that the student does research on the professions that are most consistent with their profile, it is important to read about the functions of each profession, take vocational tests, talk to other professionals, etc., so that their decision is more effective.
b. Using the five-step decision-making approach , analyze your decision and conclude with your "best" choice.
1- Identify your goals: In choosing a professional career, identifying your life goals is essential to set more achievable goals and stay focused.
2- Gather information: The more you research about the career options you intend to pursue, the easier it will be to understand the aspects that will lead to a successful decision. It is important to gather information from different sources, through internet searches, books, conversations with other workers, etc.
3- Check the consequences: This step is important for the individual to be able to see his decision in a broad sense, from the positive and negative aspects that every profession has, and thus analyze whether he will be able to deal with all of them in the best way.
4- Make the decision: In the penultimate stage the decision is made, so far you have already gathered essential information that will lead you to the decision. In the example of career choice, the decision is extremely important and can impact a person's entire life, so it is common for doubts and uncertainties to arise from the decision.
5- Evaluation of the decision: This is the step that will assist in the realization of a good decision, as in the correction of problems and development of skills that contribute to make your decision the best possible and in line with your objectives.
