Answer:
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the questions follows:
Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes?
A) Gain of $12,000 taxed at 15% and a loss of $20,000 deductible against ordinary income
B) Net loss of $8,000 that is fully deductible against ordinary income in the current year
C) Net loss of $8,000 that results in no deduction in the current year, but can be carried forward to offset capital gains for the next year
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
The explanation to the answer is therefore presented as follows:
The first step is to compute the net capital gain (loss) is as follows:
Particulars $
Gain from the sale of stock in ABC Corporation 10,000
Gain from the sale of stock in XYZ Corporation 2,000
Loss from the sale of corporate bonds (20,000)
Net capital gain (loss) (8,000)
In the US, individuals are allowed to use up to $3,000 to reduce their taxable income in the first year of the loss, while the remaining capital losses will be carried over to the next years.
From the net capital gain computed above, the correct option is D. That is, the $8,000 loss will be treated for tax purposes as a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income in the current year with the remaining $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year.

Seller Adelaide and buyer Colin close on a transaction for two rental condos on March 15. They live in a state where the seller is considered the owner of the property on the day of closing. The combined rental income per month is $4,000. How much rental income can Colin expect to earn in March
Answer:
$2,064.48
Explanation:
Given the following :
Combined rental income per month = $4000
Transaction close date = March 15th
Number of days in March = 31
Daily Rental income for the two condos :
Income per month / days of the month
$4000 / 31

Total rental payment in March :
Daily Rental fee × number of days left
$129.03 × 16 = $2,064.48
= $2,064.48

Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below: Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost Direct materials 7.80 pounds $ 2.30 per pounds $ 17.94 Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 8.00 per hour $ 2.40 During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. 25,900 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.10 per pound.
b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 3,000 units of Zoom.
c. 700 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,300.
Required: 1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Cost Direct materials 7.80 pounds $ 2.30 per pounds $7.94
Direct labor 0.30 hours $ 8.00 per hour $ 2.40
Actual:
a. 25,900 pounds of material was purchased at a cost of $2.10 per pound.
b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 3,000 units of Zoom.
c. 700 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $6,300.
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.3 - 2.1)*25,900
Direct material price variance= $5,180 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7.8*3,000 - 25,900)*2.3
Direct material quantity variance= $5,750 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor rate and efficiency variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (0.3*3,000 - 700)*8
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $1,600 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (8 - 6,300/700)*700
Direct labor rate variance= $700 unfavorable
Barnes' Brothers has the following data for the year ending 12/31/2015: Net income = $600; Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) = $700; Total assets = $2,500; Short-term investments = $200; Stockholders' equity = $1,800; Total debt = $700; and Total operating capital = $2,100. Barnes' weighted average cost of capital is 10%. What is its economic value added (EVA)?
Answer: $490
Explanation:
Economic value added is the estimate of the economic profit of a firm. The economic value added(EVA) is also gotten when the capital charge for the raise of the firm's capital is deducted from the net profit.
Based on the above information, the economic value added will be:
= Net profit - (Total Operating capital × Weighted average cost of capital)
= $700 - ($2,100×10%)
= $700 - $210

Suppose that Rihanna sells 1,000 tickets to a concerts at $480 each. If the equilibrium price is $600 per ticket for a fixed supply of 1,000 tickets, what is the value of the additional economic rent that Rihanna could earn if she charged the market clearing price?
Answer:
$120,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the value of the additional economic rent that Rihanna could earn if she charged the market clearing price
The first step to find the total amount of the tickets that Rihanna sold
Since we were told that she sells 1,000 tickets to a concert at $480, this means the total amount will be:
Total amount = 1,000 * $480
= $480,000.
Since the Supply is fixed for 1,000 tickets and equilibrium price per each ticket is $600 which means the total amount will be calculated as :
Total amount = 1,000 * $600
= $600,000.
The last step is to find the additional economic rent
Additional economic rent=$600,000 - $480,000
Additional economic rent=$120,000.
Therefore the value of the additional economic rent will be $120,000

If actual output exceeds potential output, the economy: Multiple Choice is experiencing an inflationary gap. is in neither a short-run nor long-run equilibrium. is experiencing a recessionary gap.
Answer:
Is experiencing an inflationary gap.
Explanation:
An inflationary gap can be defined as a macroeconomic concept which measures the difference between the actual output (Real Domestic Products) and the potential output (Gross Domestic Products) when an economy is being operated at full employment.
Hence, if actual output exceeds potential output, the economy is experiencing an inflationary gap. This simply means that, the consumers are demanding more of the goods and services than the economy (business entities) can produce or provide at a specific period of time. Also, when an inflationary gap occurs in an economy, there would be an increase in the price of goods and services and thus, causing the economy to be out of equilibrium.
