Exercise 9-18 (Algorithmic) (LO. 5) In 2020, the CEO of Crimson, Inc., entertains 9 clients at a skybox in Memorial Stadium for a single athletic event during the year. Substantive business discussions occurred at various times during the event. The box cost $6,750 per event and seats 11 people. (The cost of a regular, nonluxury box seat at Memorial ranges from $50 to $100.) Refreshments served during the event cost $1,720 (and were separately itemized on the bill Crimson received). How much of these costs may Crimson deduct

Answers

Answer: $860

Explanation:

As substantive business discussions took place in box at various times, there can be certain deductions for business purposes.

The box cost is not deductible because the cost is substantially higher than the cost of nonluxury box seats at the same stadium.

As per normal taxation convention, 50% of the refreshments can be deducted as business expenses:

= 50% * 1,720

= $860

he management of Green Energy Manufacturing is analyzing variable overhead variances for the fiscal period just ended. The flexible budget called for $176,000 in variable overhead but actual variable overhead was $100,000. In computing the overhead variances, Green's management discovered that it had used 40,000 pounds of direct material, rather than the budgeted amount of 44,000 pounds. (Pounds of direct material is the single overhead driver of variable overhead). The standard variable overhead rate per pound of direct material is $2.00. What is Green's variable overhead spending variance

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

With regards to the above, Green's variable overhead spending variance is computed as

= Flexible budget - Actual variable overhead.

Given that

Flexible budget in variable overhead = $176,000

Actual variable overhead = $100,000

Therefore,

Variable overhead spending variance

= $176,000 - $100,000

= $76,000 F

Cake's production cost (labor + materials) last year was $14.07 ($5.89 unit labor cost and $8.18 unit material cost). Exclude possible inventory carrying costs. Assume period expenses and overhead total 50% of their production cost. What is the minimum price the product could have been sold for in the American region to cover the unit cost, period expenses, and overhead?

Sara works at a printing company. She and her colleagues have to stagger
their tasks carefully because each of their projects require not only the
printers, but other equipment as well. Sara is currently working to fulfill an
order for 5,000 flyers, which are due tomorrow. Her customer just called to
say that they need additional 5,000 flyers.
What will be least important to Sara as she determines whether her company
can accommodate the request?
A. Whether her company has enough paper on hand
B. Whether her company can print the additional flyers without
negatively affecting the other projects
C. Whether there is enough time to print the additional flyers by
tomorrow
D. Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers

Answers

Answer: D. Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers

Explanation:

The important factors that Sara will consider to know whether her company can accommodate the request are:

• Whether her company has enough paper on hand

• Whether her company can print the additional flyers without negatively affecting the other projects

• Whether there is enough time to print the additional flyers by tomorrow.

These factors above are important as they'll determine if she can accept the request or not. For example, in a situation where there's no enough paper, then the request should not be accepted.

The least important factor for Sara to consider will be "Why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers". This is not of concern to Sara and shouldn't bother her.

Answer:

D. why the customer needs 5,000 extra flyers

A company wants to set up operations in a country with the following corporate tax rate structure: Taxable Income Tax Rate <$50,000 15% $50,000 - $75,000 25% $75,000 - $100,000 34% >$100,000 39% Therefore, a taxable income of $60,000 would result in taxes due of $50,000*0.15 + ($60,000-$50,000)*0.25 = $50,000*0.15 + $10,000*0.25 = $10,000 If the compay expects gross revenues of $300,000, $150,000 in total costs, $20,000 in allowable tax deductions and $6,000 in a one-time business start-up credit, how much should the company expect to pay in taxes?

Answers

Answer:

$183,950

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Total taxable income is

= $300,000 - $150,000 - $20,000

= $130,000

Now tax is

= 15% of  $50,000 + 25% of ($75,000 - $50,000) + 34% of ($100,000 - $75,000) + 39% of ($530,000 - $100,000)

= 0.15 of $50,000 + 0.25 of $25,000 + 0.34 of $25,000 + 0.39 of $430,000

= $189,950

Now Tax owed is

= $189,950 - $6,000

= $183,950

This is simply a place to summarize all of the transactions that influence or affect one particular asset, liability, equity, revenue, expense, gain, or loss item.Cash are said to be asset.

Cash Accounting (COST)
