Answer:
Demand = -100P + 2,000
Supply = 200P - 2200
Equilibrium: 600 units and $14 price
Explanation:
We solve for the linear formula of each:
Demand = aP + b
Demand
Quantity Price
700 13
500 15
(700 - 500) / (13 - 15) = 200 / -2 = -100
a = -100
(-100) x 13 + b = 700
(-100) x 15 + b = 500
b = 700 + 1,300 = 2,000
b = 500 + 1,500 = 2,000
Demand = -100P + 2,000
Supply
Quantity price
400 12
600 13
Supply = aP + b
(600 - 400) / ( 13 - 12) = 200
a = 200
400 = 200 x $13 + b
b = 400 + 2600 = -2200
Supply = 200P - 2200
Equilibrium
200P - 2200 = -100P + 2000
300P = 4200
P = 4200 / 300 = 14
Q = -100(14) + 2000 = 600
200 x (14) - 2200 = 600
Time period is important in accounting. Companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. Assume the company had invested $100,000 in an interest-bearing investment on September 1st of this year. The investment earns 6% interest, but the interest doesn't get paid out until the end of the first six months. What, if any, interest revenue should the company record on their December 31st year ending income statement of this year
Answer: $2,000
Explanation:
The question alludes to the Accrual principle of Accounting that states that companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period.
The investment is to earn 6% annually which means that every year it is to show returns of;
= 6% * 100,000
= $6,000
On a monthly basis therefore this should be;
= 6,000 / 12
= $500
They invested on September 1st which means that they would have been invested for 4 months by December 31.
The interest for the year is therefore;
= 4 * 500
= $2,000

A1 B2 Total
Revenue $100,000 $ 300,000 $400,000
Direct material 30,000 60,000 90,000
Direct labor 40,000 95,000 135,000
Overhead:
Direct-material related 13,500
Direct-labor related 40,500
Required:
Channing uses a two-stage cost allocation system, It uses direct-material costs to allocate direct-materials related overhead and direct-labor costs to allocate direct-labor related overhead costs.
a. Compute the direct-material related overhead rate for next month.
b. Compute the direct-labor related overhead rate for next month.
c. What is the total overhead allocated to product A1 next month?
d. What is the total overhead allocated to product B2 next month?
a. predetermined rate ?? % of direct materials costs
b. predetermined rate ?? % of direct-labor cost
c. Total Overhead (A1) ??
d. Total Overhead (B2) ??
Answer:
a. 15% of direct material cost
b. 30% of direct labor cost
c. $16,500
d. $37,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
a. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-material related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 13,500 ÷ 90,000
= 15% of direct material cost
b. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-labor related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 40,500 ÷ 135,000
= 30% of direct labor cost
c. Total overhead (A1) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 30,000 × 15% + 40,000 × 30%
= $16,500
d. Total overhead (B2) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 60,000 × 15% + 95,000 × 30%
= $37,500

business organizations?
A. Corporations have a difficult time raising money to get started
B. Corporations have a limited life span if their owners die or quit.
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
D. One owner assumes all the risk and liability in a corporation
SUOMI
Answer:
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
Explanation:
Unfortunately, the founders of a corporation can be removed from the business. The process of removing a shareholder is hectic but still possible. A shareholder's agreement binds the shareholders of a business or a corporation. The agreement is the equivalent of a contract among the shareholder.
A gross violation of the agreement by a shareholder may lead to their removal. The conditions and processes of removal are normally contained in the shareholder's agreement.
An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $30,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $30,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 30% probability the economy will remain strong, a 60% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
The expected value from this investment can be calculated by possible values for random variables by multiplying them by their probability
DATA
Strong = 30,000 , probability = 30%
Moderate = 10,000 , probability = 60%
Weak = -30,000 , probability = 10%
Calculation
Expected profit = Values x Probability
Expected profit = (30,000 x 30%) + (10,000 x 60%) + ( 30,000 x 10%)
Expected profit = 6,000 + 6,000 -6,000
Expected profit = 6,000
During the next two months, General Cars must meet (on time) the following demands for trucks and cars:
month 1—400 trucks, 800 cars;
month 2—300 trucks, 300 cars.
During each month, at most 1,000 vehicles can be produced.
Each truck uses 2 tons of steel, and each car uses 1 ton of steel.
During month 1, steel costs $400 per ton; during month 2, steel costs $600 per ton.
At most, 1,500 tons of steel may be purchased each month (steel may only be used during the month in which it is purchased).
At the beginning of month 1, 100 trucks and 200 cars are in inventory. At the end of each month, a holding cost of $150 per vehicle is assessed. Each car gets 20 mpg, and each truck gets 10 mpg. During each month, the vehicles produced by the company must average at least 16 mpg.
Formulate an LP to meet the demand and mileage requirements at minimum cost (include steel costs and holding costs).
Answer:
the formulation of the given linear program is,
Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Subject to the constraints
T1 + C1 ≤ I000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
2T1 + C1 = S1
2T2 + C2 = S2
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
LT1 + LT2 = 300 + LT2
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
S1,S2 ≤ 1 500
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0
4C2 - 6T2 ≥ 0
All variables ≥ 0
Explanation:
Firstly;
Let T1 be number of trucks to be produced in month 1 and T2 be number of trucks to be produced in month 2.
Let C1 be number of cars to be produced in month 1 and C2 be number of cars to be produced In month 2.
Let S1 be tons of steel used in month 1 and S2 be tons of steel used in month 2.
Let LT1 be number of trucks in inventory at the end of month 1 and LT2 be number of trucks In inventory at the end of month 2.
Let LC1 be number of cars in inventory at the end of month 1 and LC2 be number of cars in inventory at the end of month 2.
Now the objective is to minimize the cost, so
z = [(cost of steel during month 1)(tons of steel used in month 1)] + [(cost of steel during month 2)( tons of steel used in month 2)] + [(holding cost at the end of each month )(trucks and cars in inventory at the end of each month)]
= 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Thus, the objective function Is, Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Constraint1 Each month, the production capacity of the vehicle is 1000 vehicles.
Number of trucks produced in month 1 + number of cant produced in month 1 ≤ 1000
T1 + C1 ≤ 1000
Number of trucks produced in month 2 + number of cars produced in month 2 ≤ 1000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
Constraint2 Each month. each truck uses 2 tons of steel and each car uses 1 ton of steel.
[(Tons of steel used to produce truck in month 1) + (tons of steel used to produced cars in month 1)] = S1
2T1 + C1 = S1
[(Tons of steel used to produce truck in month 2) + (tons of steel used to produced cars in month 2)] = S2
2T2 + C2 = S2
Constraint3 At the beginning of month 1, 100 trucks are in inventory.
[100 trucks at the beginning are in inventory +
number of trucks produced in month 1] = [400 trucks are demanded in month 1 + number of trucks in inventory at the end of the month 1]
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
[trucks at the beginning of month 2 in inventory + number of trucks produced in month 2 ] = [300 trucks are demanded in month 2 + number of trucks in inventory at the end of the month 2]
LT1 + T2 = 300 + LT1
Constraint 4 At the beginning of month 1, 200 cars are in Inventory
[200 cars at the beginning are in inventory + number of cars produced in month 1] = [800 cars are demanded in month 1 + number of cars in inventory at the end of the month 1]
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
[cars at the beginning of month 2 in inventory + number of cars produced in month 2 ] = [300 cars are demanded in month 2 + number of cars in inventory at the end of the month 2]
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
Constraint 5 At most, 1,500 tons of steel can be purchased each month.
S1 ≤ 1,500
S2 ≤ 1,500
Constraint 6 Each month, vehicle produced by company must average at least 16mpg.
[{{(mpg of trucks)(number of trucks produced in month 1)} + {(mpg of cars)(number of cars produced in month 1)}} / {(number of trucks produced in month 1 ) + ( number of Cars produced in month 1)}] ≥ 16
(10T1 + 20C1 / T1 + C1) ≥ 16
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0
[{{(mpg of trucks)(number of trucks produced in month 2)} + {(mpg of cars)(number of cars produced in month 2)}} / {(number of trucks produced in month 2 ) + ( number of Cars produced in month 2)}] ≥ 16
(10T2 + 20C2 / T2 + C2) ≥ 16
4C2 - 6T2 ≥ 0
Therefore, the formulation of the given linear program is,
Minimize
z = 400S1 + 600S2 + 150 ( LT1 + LT2 + LC1 + LC2)
Subject to the constraints
T1 + C1 ≤ I000
T2 + C2 ≤ 1000
2T1 + C1 = S1
2T2 + C2 = S2
100 + T1 = 400 + LT1
LT1 + LT2 = 300 + LT2
200 + C1 = 800 + LC1
LC1 + C2 = 300 + LC2
S1,S2 ≤ 1 500
4C1 - 6T1 ≥ 0

Answer:
James did not like the fact that he had no input in his productivity goal. Because of this, his Goal acceptance was low and he did not take it as seriously as if he had set the same goal himself.
Goal acceptance refers to the willingness of an individual to receive or consent internally to a certain goal. It is usually higher when the individual is contributes to the setting of the goal and it is low here as James did not have any input into it.
Carol always tries extremely hard to reach her performance goal. She takes it personally when she falls short, which rarely happens because she is so dedicated to reaching it. Carol's Goal commitment is high.
Goal commitment refers to how much dedication and effort a person puts into meeting an objective. Carol puts a lot of effort into achieving her goals so her Goal commitment is high.
After organizational and subsidiary goals are set, each manager meets with each subordinate to explain the unit goals to the subordinate. Together the two determine how the subordinate can contribute to the unit's goals most effectively. This is called Management by objectives.
Management by Objectives is a type of management that works by making sure that employees understand the goals that management set. It works by management and employees working together to find out how best employees can meet the goals set.
Vermont Company acquires a used machine (ten-year property) on January 15, 2018. at a cost of $400,000. Vermont also acquires another used machine (seven-year property) on November 5, 2018 at a cost of $80,000. No election is made to use the straight-line method. The company does not make the 5 179 election. Determine the total deductions in calculating taxable income related to the machines for 2018.
a) $48,000
b) $100,000
c) None of the above
d) $51.432
e) $480,000
Answer:
d) $51.432
Explanation:
Deduction on 10 year Property = $400,000 * (MACRS Rate)
Deduction on 10 year Property = $400,000 * 0.10
Deduction on 10 year Property = $40,000
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $80,000 * (MACRS Rate)
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $80,000 * 0.1429
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $11,432
Total Deduction on the properties = $40,000 + $11,432
Total Deduction on the properties = $51,432

Acceptance. Amy Kemper was seriously injured when her motorcycle was struck by a vehicle driven by Christopher Brown. Kemper’s attorney wrote to Statewide Claims Services, the administrator for Brown’s insurer, asking for "all the insurance money that Mr. Brown had under his insurance policy." In exchange, the letter indicated that Kemper would sign a "limited release" on Brown’s liability, provided that it did not include any language requiring her to reimburse Brown or his insurance company for any of their incurred costs. Statewide then sent a check and release form to Kemper, but the release demanded that Kemper "place money in an escrow account in regards to any and all liens pending." Kemper refused the demand, claiming that Statewide’s response was a counteroffer rather than an unequivocal acceptance of the settlement offer. Did Statewide and Kemper have an enforceable agreement? Discuss.
Answer:
In the clarification section down, the definition including its concern is mentioned.
Explanation:
In terms of strategy, two important components necessarily entail an "Agreement."
Offer AcceptanceStep 1: Approval + Bid = Agreement
Step 2: Agreement + Enforceability = Contract.
Throughout water to establish a legal Arrangement or Contract, those would be the two underlying equations to be met. Going to come to something like the case's reality, The counsel for Kemper addressed to Statewide Claims Management, Brown's insurance company agent, calling for "all the premium money something which Mr. Brown seems to be under his insurance contract." Statewide decided to send the document and perhaps freedom of the individual to Kemper throughout reaction to the aforementioned request, however, they pointed to Kemper's current requirement that she should put money during an emergency fund concerning anything and everything outstanding liens.Kemper disagreed with all of the above assumptions as well as denied the proposal, arguing that perhaps the response from Nationwide was a counteroffer. If we correctly examine the aforementioned situation, without even any discussion, we will realize that it is indeed a pure "Counter Bid." Why whenever the offender becomes encouraged with just 2 choices, YES/NO, whenever an Offeror makes an object to something like the Offeree. and then when the promise offers a conditional response, it destroys the initial offer so it corresponds to Counter Offer.In quite a similar manner, the Nationwide reaction to Kemper's letter here alone leads to "Counter Bid" and becomes an Absolute acceptance, but not. i.e., there is no approval of an invitation, and no deal remains.There is, however, no "Acceptance" to either the original Bid, and therefore no binding mediation agreements between Nationwide and Kemper have been established.

On March 2, 2015, Best Buy co. announced that it planned to repurchase up to $1 billion of its common shares. The company also announced on that day that an increase in its quarterly dividend from $0.19 to $0.23 per share, and a one-time special dividend of $0.51 per share. The special dividend resulted from a windfall legal settlement related to manufacture of liquid crystal displays it had sold. Which method of returning capital to investors (repurchases, regular dividends, special dividends) do you think is viewed by shareholders most favorably, and why
Answer:
Follows are the solution to this question:
Explanation:
The company sold the quantum dot produce will have a huge amount of money in the company, shareholders may have differing opinions to use that money the holds the surplus. As capital becomes kept, this hardly increases the value of a business or takes the investors through their pockets.
Position of the investor on (repurchasing, earnings)
Payout and buyback of shares are considered a factor influencing shareholders' interest and some factors are based on investor interest.
Current income source
Many investors can only be the source of revenue for such investors so that they'd prefer to have a regular dividend. Then the more current revenue you earn its most beneficial is a unique dividend. Share buybacks as an opportunity to share in order to collect large sums of cash.
Productive investments value
Those who become shareholders that must increase the asset's lengthy-term price, — for example stock values by companies investing in positive NPV ventures and in this case increase the interest of existing investors.
Improved future dividend
Just after the purchase of shares in share price issuance, a number of shares will be limited, and effective dividends rise per share. It means that an investor will acquire a further equity interest in the business by buying back preferred stock.
Focused on the hypotheses of dividends, repurchases, or portion share price plus repurchases, there are many mainly three opinions.
Many people would prefer the $0.51 dividend payment as a sum of money that was received in the case of a dividend. And at the same time, there will be an idea that the dividends must be paid regularly as well as the remaining cash must buy safely.
A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts: Karaoke Machines CDs Quantity Price Quantity Price (Dollars) (Dollars) 2020 20 50 60 5 2021 21 70 80 6 Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct
Answer:
1. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is;
Value of market basket of the good in 2020
= (50 * 2) + (5 * 6)
= $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021
= (70 * 2) + (6 * 6)
= $176
CPI in 2020
= 130/ 130 * 100
= 100
CPI in 2021
= 176 / 130 * 100
= 135.38
Percentage change
= (135.38 - 100)/100
= 35.38%.
2. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ;
Nominal GDP in 2020 = (50 * 20) + (5 * 60) = $1,300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = (70 * 21) + (6 * 80) = $1,950
Real GDP using 2020 prices
Real GDP in 2020 = (50 * 20) + (5 * 60) = $1,300
Real GDP in 2021 = (50 * 21) + (5 * 80) = $1,450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2020 / Real GDP in 2020) * 100 = (1,300 / 1,300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2021 / Real GDP in 2021) * 100 = (1,950 / 1,450) * 100 = 134.48
Percentage Change = [(134.48 - 100) / 100] * 100
= 34.48%
Modern Flooring is considering a new product line. The new line would require $134,000 of fixed assets and net working capital of $24,000. The firm will apply straight-line depreciation to a zero salvage value over three years. The new line is expected to produce an operating cash flow of $35,000 the first year with that amount decreasing by 10 percent annually for two years before the new line will be discontinued. The fixed assets can be sold for $25,000 at the end of the project and all net working capital will be recovered. What is the net present value of the new line at a discount rate of 11.5 percent and a tax rate of 35 percent
Answer:
-51,784
Explanation:
Net present value can be calculated by first calculating the present values of operating cash flows each year and the sum up all the present values.
Year 0 1 2 3
Operating CF 35000 31500 28350
Fixed asset -134000

What are the major objectives of macroeconomics? Write a brief definition of each of these objectives. Explain carefully why each objective is important?
Answer:
Some of the major objectives of macroeconomics are:
Economic growth: more specifically, non-inflationary, sustainable economic growth, in order to raise the living standards of the people by increasing the production of goods and services.Low inflation: inflation is the general rise in the price level of goods and services of a economy within a period of time. High inflation has shown to be damaging to the economy, and this is why one of the most important macroeconomic goals is to keep inflation low.Low unemployment: unemployment is very damaging for both individuals and society. Unemployed people are likely to be unable to live by themselves. Maintaining unemployment low is one of the most important macroeconomic objectives and it often conflicts with the goal of keeping inflation low, at least in the short-term.Balanced Budget: macroeconomists try to advise governments to keep low levels of debt, and to not spend too much more than they earn from tax revenue, public entreprise profits, and other sources of public income.
Potter & Weasley Company had the following activities, estimated indirect activity costs, and allocation bases: Activities Indirect Activity Costs Allocation Base Account inquiry (hours) $86,200 2,900 Account billing (lines) $53,000 32,000 Account verification (accounts) $36,250 23,500 Correspondence (letters) $85,000 11,000 Potter & Weasley uses activity based costing. The above activities are used by Departments P and Q as follows: Department P Department Q Account inquiry (hours) 400 800 Account billing (lines) 10,000 4,000 Account verification (accounts) 6,000 7,000 Correspondence (letters) 1,000 2,000 What is the cost per driver unit for the account inquiry activity? (Round all answers to two decimal places.) A. $29.72 B. $7.73 C. $7.84 D.
Answer:
A. $29.72
Explanation:
The calculation of cost per driver unit is shown below:-
Cost per driver unit = Indirect cost relating to account inquiry ÷ Allocation base relating to account inquiry
= $86,200 ÷ 2,900
= $29.72 per hour
Therefore for computing the cost per driver unit we simply divide the Indirect cost relating to account inquiry by allocation base relating to account inquiry.
Lear Inc. has $940,000 in current assets, $420,000 of which are considered permanent current assets. In addition, the firm has $740,000 invested in fixed assets.
A. Lear wishes to finance all fixed assets and half of its permanent current assets with long-term financing costing 9%. The balance will be financed with short-term financing, which currently costs 5%. Lear’s earnings before interest and taxes are $340,000. Determine Lear’s earnings after taxes under this financing plan. The tax rate is 30%.
B. As an alternative. Lear might wish to finance all fixed assets and permanent current assets plus half of its temporary current assets with long-term financing and the balance with short-term financing. The same interest rates apply as in part a. Earnings before interest and taxes will be $340,000. What will be Lear's earnings after taxes? The tax rate is 30%.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
A. Current assets = permanent current assets + temporary current assets
Temporary current assets:
= $940,000 - $420,000
= $520,000
Short-term interest expense:
= 5% × [$520,000 + ½ ($420,000)]
= 5% ($520,000 + $210,000)
= 5% × ($730,000)
= 0.05 × $730,000
= $36,500
Long-term interest:
= 9% × [$740,000 + ½ ($420,000)]
= 9% × ($740,000 + $210,000)
= 9% × $950,000
= 0.09 × $950,000
= $85,500
Total interest expense:
= $36,500 + $85,500
= $122,000
Earnings before interest and taxes $340,000
Less: Interest expense = $122,000
Earnings before taxes = $218,000
Less: Taxes (30%) = $65,400
Earnings after taxes = $152,600
B. Short term interest expense:
= $260,000 × 5%
= $260,000 × 0.05
= $13,000
Long term interest expense:
= ($740,000 + $420,000 + $260,000) × 9%
= $1,420,000 × 0.09
= $127,800
Total interest expense:
= $13000 + $127800
= $140,800
Earnings before interest and taxes $340,000
Less: Interest expense = $140,800
Earnings before taxes = $199,200
Less: Taxes (30%) = $59760
Earnings after taxes = $139440

Answer:
$15.76
Explanation:
beginning WIP 500 units
materials 85% complete, so 15% added during the period (EUP during current month = 75 units)
conversion costs 55% complete, so 45% added during the period (EUP during current month = 225 units)
units started 7,000
units transferred out 6,100
units started and transferred out = 6,100 - 500 = 5,600 (EUP = 5,600 units)
ending WIP 1,400 units
materials 60% complete (EUP = 840 units)
conversion costs 50% complete (EUP = 700 units)
materials cost for the month = $102,700
total EUP for the month = 6,515 units
total cost per EUP for materials = $102,700 / 6,515 = $15.7636 ≈ $15.76
The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on 3-year Treasury securities is 7.20 percent, and the 6-year Treasury rate is 7.45 percent. From discussions with your broker, you have determined that expected inflation premium is 2.70 percent next year, 2.95 percent in Year 2, and 3.15 percent in Year 3 and beyond. Further, you expect that real interest rates will be 3.60 percent annually for the foreseeable future. What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security
Answer:
The maturity risk premium on the six year is 0.45%
Explanation:
For computing the maturity risk premium, we need to use the formula which is shown below:
3-year treasury securities = 3-year inflation period + 3-year real interest rate + maturity risk premium
7.20% = 3.15% + 3.60% + maturity risk premium
7.20% = 6.75% + maturity risk premium
Maturity risk premium = 7.20% - 6.75%
Maturity risk premium = 0.45%
Hence, the maturity risk premium on the six year is 0.45%
At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 24,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $32,650, consisted of $26,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 119,000 units and transferred 126,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $283,440 of materials costs and $562,825 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.
Answer:
Materials $2,36
Conversion $4,43
Explanation:
Weighted-Average:
completed + ending WIP
(there is not differenciation between completed and started and completed)
Equivalent units Materials: 126,000 + 17,000 x 30% = 131,1 00
Conversion: 126,000 + 17,000 x 15% = 128,55 0
Material Equivalent cost:
283,440 + 26,400 = 309,840
$309,840 / 131,100 = 2,3633867
Conversion Equivalent cost:
562,825 + 6,250 = 569,075
569,075 / 128,550 = 4,4268767

You would like to buy a house that costs $ 350 comma 000$350,000. You have $ 50 comma 000$50,000 in cash that you can put down on the house, but you need to borrow the rest of the purchase price. The bank is offering a 30-year mortgage that requires annual payments and has an interest rate of 8 %8% per year. You can afford to pay only $ 25 comma 580$25,580 per year. The bank agrees to allow you to pay this amount each year, yet still borrow $ 300 comma 000$300,000. At the end of the mortgage (in 30 years), you must make a balloon payment; that is, you must repay the remaining balance on the mortgage. How much will this balloon payment be?
Answer:
$121,012.53
Explanation:
principal = $300,000
APR = 8%
n = 30 years
annual payment = $25,580
assuming that interest is compounded annually, then the annual payment should be = $300,000 / 11.25778 (PV annuity factor, 8%, 30 periods) = $26,648.24
I prepared an amortization schedule to calculate the balloon payment: $121,012.53
Who designed the Parthenon?
Lorenzo is the sole proprietor of a trampoline shop. During 2019, the following transactions occurred.Unimproved land adjacent to the store was condemned by the city on February 1. The condemnation proceeds were $15,000. The land, acquired in 1986, had an allocable basis of $40,000. Lorenzo has additional parking across the street and plans to use the condemnation proceeds to build his inventory.A truck used to deliver trampolines was sold on January 2 for $3,500. The truck was purchased on January 2, 2014, for $6,000. On the date of sale, the adjusted basis was zero.Lorenzo sold an antique rowing machine at an auction. Net proceeds were $4,900. The rowing machine was purchased as used equipment 17 years ago for $5,200 and is fully depreciated.Lorenzo sold an apartment building for $300,000 on September 1. The rental property was purchased on September 1, 2015, for $150,000 and was being depreciated over a 27.5-year MACRS life using the straight-line method. At the date of sale, the adjusted basis was $124,783.Lorenzo's personal yacht was stolen on September 5. The yacht had been purchased in August at a cost of $25,000. The fair market value immediately preceding the theft was $19,600. Lorenzo was insured for 50% of the original cost, and he received $12,500 on December 1.Lorenzo sold a Buick on May 1 for $9,600. The vehicle had been used exclusively for personal purposes. It was purchased on September 1, 2014, for $20,800.Lorenzo's trampoline stretching machine (owned two years) was stolen on May 5, but the business's insurance company will not pay any of the machine's value because Larry failed to pay the insurance premium. The machine had a fair market value of $8,000 and an adjusted basis of $6,000 at the time of theft.Lorenzo had AGI of $102,000 from sources other than those described above.Lorenzo has no non-recaptured § 1231 lookback losses.For each transaction, what are the amount and nature of recognized gain or loss?What is Lorenzo's 2019 Adjusted Gross Income?
Explanation:
we have to get The Amount and nature of recognized gain or loss for each transaction:
a. The condemnation proceeds = $15,000. allocable basis of acquired land = $40,000."
loss = $40,000 - $15,000
= $25,000
b. sale of truck = $3,500. the adjusted basis = 0
Gain = $3,500 - 0 = $3,500
c.
As rowing machine was sold for 4900 and is fully depreciated, with an adjusted basis of 0
Gain = $4,900 - 0 = $4,900
d. sale of apartment = 300000
adjusted basis = $124,783
when we subtract we get :
The Overall gain would be = $300,000 - $124,783 = $175,217
Unrecaptured Section gain = $150,000 - $124,783 = $25,217
Regular long-term capital gain = Overall gain - Uncaptured section gain
This is:
= $175,217 - $25,217 = $150,000
e. his yatch was stolen, it had cost $25,000. The fair market value = $19,600. he was insured for 50% of the original cost, of which he got $12,500 on December 1."
Then Tax loss = Fair market value - Amount received from insurance
$19600-$12,500 = $7,100
so we have here a tax loss of $7,100 ( before any AGI limitation),
f. he sold a Buick for $9,600. It was bought for $20,800."
Loss = $20,800 - $9,600 = $11,200
a non-deductible personal loss.
g. after his trampoline machine was stolen. fair market value was 8000, adjusted basis = 6000
Tax Loss = $6,000
lorenzos Adjusted Gross Income for 2019 = $102,000 + $3,500 + $4,900 + $150,000 - $6,000 = $254,400
