Answers

Answer:

E. They are simpler when it comes to paperwork, offer some of the same tax advantages and also protect members from unlimited financial exposure

Explanation:

Limited liability companies are set up to protect the owners from liability. The business is a seperate entity from the individual owners and their assets are not used to settle debts of the business.

This type of business is gaining more use than S corporation. S corporation in addition to having liability advantages also requires more rigid requirements to set up. They do not pay corporate tax, but rather are taxed as sole proprietorship or a partnership.

Because of the ease of setting up an LLC more people prefer it to an S corporation. It also protects owners from unlimited financial liability

M. K. Gallant is president of Kranbrack Corporation, a company whose stock is traded on a national exchange. In a meeting with investment analysts at the beginning of the year, Gallant had predicted that the company’s earnings would grow by 20% this year. Unfortunately, sales have been less than expected for the year, and Gallant concluded within two weeks of the end of the fiscal year that it would be impossible to report an increase in earnings as large as predicted unless some drastic action was taken. Accordingly, Gallant has ordered that wherever possible, expenditures should be postponed to the new year—including canceling or postponing orders with suppliers, delaying planned maintenance and training, and cutting back on end-of-year advertising and travel. Additionally, Gallant ordered the company’s controller to carefully scrutinize all costs that are currently classified as period costs and reclassify as many as possible as product costs. The company is expected to have substantial inventories at the end of the year.

1. Why would reclassifying period costs as product costs increase this period’s reported earnings?

2. Do you believe Gallant’s actions are ethical? Why or why not?

If required, round the tax liability the nearest dollar. When required, round the average rates to four decimal places before converting to a percentage (i.e. .67073 would be rounded to .6707 and entered as 67.07%). a. Chandler is single and reports taxable income of $125,200.

Answers

Answer:

Tax liability = $24,222.50Marginal rate = 24%Average rate = 19.35%

Explanation:

Question requires that we find the Tax liability, Marginal rate and Average rate.

Tax liability:

Chandler is in the $84,200 to $160,725 bracket.

= 14,382.50 + 24% * (125,200 - 84,200)

= 14,382.50 + 9,840

= $‭24,222.5‬0

Marginal rate = 24%

Chandler's bracket is the 24% bracket.

Average rate:

= Tax/ Taxable income

= 24,222.50 / 125,200

= 19.35%

The smallest amount you must pay each month on a loan is called the A. annual percentage rate B. annual fee C. minimum finance charge D. minimum monthly payment SUBMIT​

Answers

Answer:  D. minimum monthly payment

Explanation:

The minimum monthly payment is the lowest that a person should pay per month on a loan, particularly that of a credit card, if they do not want to be ruled as being in default.

The advantage of this is that the person will still be in good standing with the creditor meaning that they have not defaulted (really bad for credit score). Disadvantage is that the loan interest will be higher as it is based on a larger balance than had the person paid more.

Sue would like to save up for a down payment on a home she hopes to purchase in 5 years. If she wishes to have $20,000 saved up at the end of five years and can earn 3.5% annually in her savings account. If she would like to make equal annual deposits, what amount will her deposits need to be in order to reach her goal

Answers

Answer:

Annual deposit= $3,729.63

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= $20,000

Number of periods (n)= 5 years

Interest rate (i)= 3.5% = 0.035

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= (20,000*0.035) / [(1.035^5) - 1]

A= $3,729.63

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Deadweight loss of tax measures the decrease in demand as a result of an increase in tax

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Demand is less elastic in the short run because there is no enough time for consumers to find suitable and cheaper substitutes. As time goes on, demand becomes more elastic because consumers would have had enough time to find cheaper substitutes

Supply is also less elastic in the short time and more elastic in the long run

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return.  In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond

Solution :

Assuming that the bond amount is  $100,000.

After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:

= 100,000 x 4.5%

= $ 4500

After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :

= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)

= $ 4451

Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.

On September 30, 2012, Wildhorse Company issued 9% bonds with a par value of $580,000 due in 20 years. They were issued at 97 and were callable at 103 at any date after September 30, 2017. Because Wildhorse Company was able to obtain financing at lower rates, it decided to call the entire issue on September 30, 2018, and to issue new bonds. New 7% bonds were sold in the amount of $700,000 at 104; they mature in 20 years. Wildhorse Company uses straight-line amortization. Interest payment dates are March 31 and September 30.

(Round activity rate answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

Handling materials = $6.25 per part

Inspecting product  = $600 per batch

Processing purchase  = $150 per order

Handling materials  = $350 per invoice

Insuring the factory  = $7.50 per square feet

Designing packaging  = $37,500 per model

Explanation:

Activity rate = Estimated Cost ÷ Estimated Activity

therefore,

Handling materials = $ 625,000 ÷ 100,000 parts = $6.25

Inspecting product = $ 900,000 ÷ 1,500 batches = $600

Processing purchase = $ 105,000 ÷ 700 orders = $150

Handling materials = $ 175,000 ÷ 500 invoices = $350

Insuring the factory = $ 300,000 ÷ 40,000 square feet = $7.50

Designing packaging = $ 75,000 ÷ 2 models = $37,500

Abbey Park was organized on April 1, 2016, by Trudy Crawford. Trudy is a good manager but a poor accountant. From the trial balance prepared by a part-time bookkeeper, Trudy prepared the following income statement for the quarter that ended March 31, 2017.

Depreciation expense 800
Maintenance expense 2800
Total operating expense 36900
Net income 46100
Trudy knew that something was wrong with the statement because net income had never exceeded $20,000 in any one quarter. Knowing that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the income statement and other data. You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the ledger contains these selected balances at March 31, 2017.
Supplies 4500
Prepaid insurance 7200
Notes payable 20000
You then make inquiries and discover the following.
1. Rent revenue includes advanced rentals for summer-month occupancy, $21,000.
2. There were $600 of supplies on hand at March 31.
3. Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a 1-year policy on January 1, 2017.
4. The mail on April 1, 2017, brought the following bills: advertising for week of March 24, $110; repairs made March 10, $1,040; and utilities $240.
5. Wage expense totals $290 per day. At March 31, 3 days’ wages have been incurred but not paid.

A refrigerator costs $800 on an installment plan that requires a down payment of $140 and monthly payments for 12 months. What are the monthly payments of the plan?

Answers

55 dollars a month. U get this by doing 800-140 and then diving that by 12
The answer would be $55 per month.
The reasoning for this would be that after taking out the $140 down payment from the $800 would leave you with $660 once you get that number you divide it by 12. Which would give you your monthly payment of $55 per month.

The deans' suite hoped to cut costs and decided to perform a total cost analysis on its vodka supplier. Consumption was currently 6,000 bottles per semester and this was predicted to maintain that level for the next few years. Their current source, Byron's, charged $9.50 per bottle and packed 288 bottles in a crate. The cost to ship the crate was $15. Another potential source of vodkas was Pancho's, who charged $9.00 per bottle but could ship only 100 bottles in a crate and at a higher price, $20. Assume that a partial crate may be purchased. What is the total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier

Answers

Answer:

$55,200

Explanation:

Consumption = 6000 bottles

Cost per bottle = $9

Consumption Cost = 6000*$9 = $54,000

No of crates = 6000/100 = 60 crates

Cost pet crate = $20

Crate cost = $1,200

Total annual cost = Consumption Cost + Crate cost

Total annual cost = $54,000 + $1,200

Total annual cost = $55,200

So, the total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier is $55,200

The  total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier is $55,200.

Total annual cost

Consumption Cost:

Consumption Cost = 6000×$9

Consumption Cost = $54,000

Number  of crates:

Number  of crates = 6000/100

Number  of crates= 60 crates

Total annual cost:

Total annual cost=$54,000+(60×$20)

Total annual cost = $54,000 + $1,200

Total annual cost = $55,200

Inconclusion the  total annual cost to supply vodka from their current supplier is $55,200.
