a) Desmond is not married and has no dependents. His AGI after deducting his 401(k) contribution is $34,000.
b) Desmond is not married and has no dependents. His AGI after deducting his 401(k) contribution is $17,500.
c) Desmond files as a head of household and has an AGI of $44,000.
d) Desmond and his wife file jointly and report an AGI of $30,000 for the year.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The savers credit is mostly used to motivate taxpayers so that they'll contribute to their retirement plans.

a. Desmond is not married and has no dependents. His AGI after deducting his 401(k) contribution is $34,000.

In this case, there'll be no credit that's available for Desmond as he'll be all under files AGI and his maximum savers credit will be $0.

b) Desmond is not married and has no dependents. His AGI after deducting his 401(k) contribution is $17,500.

Since he's single and doesn't have dependents, and his AGI is $17500, therefore, the saver's credit of Desmond will be 50% of $2000 which will be:

= 50% × $2000.

= 0.5 × $2000

= $1000

c) Desmond files as a head of household and has an AGI of $44,000.

Here, his percentage of saver's credit will be 10% of $2000 because he AGI of $44,000 which falls between $30001 - $46125. Therefore savers income will be:

= 10% × $2000

= 0.1 × $2000

= $200

d) Desmond and his wife file jointly and report an AGI of $30,000 for the year.

Here, the saver's percentage used will be 50% of $2000 and this will be:

= 50% × $2000

= 0.5 × $2000

= $1000

Burcham Corporation reported pretax book income of $600,000. Tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $400,000. In addition, the company received $300,000 of tax-exempt municipal bond interest. The company's prior-year tax return showed taxable income of $50,000. Compute the company's book equivalent of taxable income. - Use this number to compute the company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34%.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Pre-tax book income = $600,000

Less: Tax exempt interest = $300,000

Book equivalent of taxable income = $600,000 - $300,000 = $300,000

The company's total income tax provision or benefit, assuming a tax rate of 34% will be:

= 34% × $300,000

= 0.34 × $300,000

= $102,000

how market forces would act to return the market to state of equilibrium at the new equilibrium position.

Answers

Answer:

market forces would shift upwards or downwards

Explanation:

during a situation of high demand, supply would shift to the right in order to achieve more sales or in a situation of high supply the demand can be shifted to the right by decreasing prices. At low supply demand can be shifted leftwards by increasing prices and when demand is lower, supply falls due to lower sales

Market factors would change to the upside or downside would act to return the market to state of equilibrium at the new equilibrium position.

What do you mean by equilibrium?

When economic forces are in balance, there is said to be an economic equilibrium. In the absence of outside influences, economic variables essentially hold true to their equilibrium levels. Market equilibrium and economic equilibrium are two different concepts.

The set of economic factors that the economy is normally driven toward by supply and demand and other conventional economic processes is known as economic equilibrium.

The concept of economic equilibrium can also be used to describe a wide range of elements, including interest rates or overall consumer spending.

The point of equilibrium denotes a theoretical state of rest where all economic activities that "should" occur have actually happened, given the initial conditions of all significant economic variables.

Economists who think of economic processes as akin to physical phenomena like velocity, friction, heat, or fluid pressure draw the notion of equilibrium from the physical sciences. Nothing else changes once a system's physical forces are in equilibrium.

Kyle Corporation is comparing two different capital structures, an all-equity plan (Plan I) and a levered plan (Plan II). Under Plan I, the company would have 715,000 shares of stock outstanding. Under Plan II, there would be 465,000 shares of stock outstanding and $6.75 million in debt outstanding. The interest rate on the debt is 7 percent, and there are no taxes.
a. Assume that EBIT is $1.6 million. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II.
b. Assume that EBIT is $3.1 million. Compute the EPS for both Plan I and Plan II.
c. What is the break-even EBIT?

Answers

Answer:

EPS = (Net income - Dividends) / Average number of share

a. Plan 1

Number of share = 715,000

EPS = $1,600,000/715,000

EPS = 2.23 (EBIT = Net Income as Interest and tax are 0)

Plan 2

Net income = EBIT = $1.6 million = $1,600,000

Interest = 0.07*$6,750,000 = $472,500

EBT = $1,600,000 - $472,500 = $1,127,500

Tax = 0

Net Income = 1,127,500 (1)

Number of share = 465,000

EPS = $1,127,500/465000

EPS = 2.42 (Net Income from 1)

b. Plan 1

EPS = $3,100,000/715000 = $4.33

Plan 2

When EBIT = $3,100,000

Interest = 0.07*$6,750,000 = $472,500

Net Income = $3,100,000 - $472,500 = $2,627,500

EPS = $2,627,500/465,000

EPS = 5.65 (From 2)

c. Plan 1 EBIT = Plan 2 EBIT to calculate break-even EBIT

EBIT/715,000 = (EBIT - 0.07*$6,750,000)/465,000

EBIT = $1,351,350

If the product mix were to change, total fixed costs would remain the same. The contribution margin per machine hour for Floor Deodorizer is:

Answers

Answer:

Contribution per machine hour = $4 per machine hour

Explanation:

The contribution per machine is the total contribution made divided by the total machine hours consumed.

Contribution per machine hour = Total contribution/Total machine hours

The total contribution made = Unit contribution  × unit sold

unit contribution = selling price - variable cost

                          = 10-8= $2 per unit

Total contribution = $2× 4,000= $8,000

Total machine hour = 2,000

Contribution per machine hour= 8,000/2,000 = $4 per machine hour

Contribution per machine hour = $4 per machine hour

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,

Net income = $68,000

Preferred cash dividend = $18,000

So, we can calculate the basic earning per share by using following formula,

Basic Earning per share = ( Net income - Preferred cash dividend) ÷ Outstanding common shares

= ($68,000 - $18,000) ÷ [( 58,000 × 2) + (28,000 × 2 × 6/12)

= $50,000 ÷ [ 116,000 + 28,000]

= $50,000 ÷ 144,000

= $0.35 per share

Introducing a new product is the most important component of a product portfolio. As it contains greater risk but it also contains greater rewards too.

How can we explain it with a help of an example?

When a company launches new products it automatically contains the risk that if it would be opened in the market what would be the customer's reaction, whether a customer would like it or not. If the customer like the product risk would convert into a reward for the company and if not then it would get a loss to the company. This profit and loss to the company affect the portfolio the most.

Required: What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line?

Answers

Answer:

-$150,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line

First step is to calculate the fixed expense

Using this formula

Fixed expense

= Advertising (for the bilge pump product line) + Salary of product-line manager + Insurance on inventories

Let plug in the formula

Fixed expense= 270,000 + 32,000 + $8,000

Fixed expense= $310,000

Now let calculate the financial advantage (disadvantage)

Using this formula

Financial advantage (disadvantage) = Fixed expense-Contribution margin

Let plug in the formula

Financial advantage (disadvantage) = $310,000-460,000

Financial advantage (disadvantage) = -$150,000

Therefore the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the bilge pump product line is -$150,000

Variable manufacturing cost $ 180
Variable selling and administrative cost 90
Applied fixed manufacturing cost 60
Allocated fixed selling and administrative cost 75
What price will the company charge if the firm uses cost-plus pricing based on total manufacturing cost and a markup percentage of 160%?

Answers

Answer:

$ 624

Explanation:

Given :

Variable manufacturing cost = $ 180

Applied fixed manufacturing cost = $ 60

Therefore, total manufacturing cost = 180 + 60

                                                            = $ 240

Mark up percentage = 160%

Price to be charged = 240 + 160% of 240

                                 = 240 + 384

                                 = $  624
