Answer:
The County
The property tax rate per $1,000 of net assessed value that the County must charge to collect sufficient property taxes to meet its $800,000 estimate is:
D. $26.67 for each $1,000 of net assessed value.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated Revenues from Property Taxes = $800,000
Assessed value of property in the county = $40 million
Exempted property in the county:
Homestead = $3.0 million
Veterans = 1.3 million
Old age = 0.7 million
Nonprofits = 5.0 million
Total exemptions = $10 million
Therefore, net assessed value = $30 million ($40 - 10 million)
Chargeable Rate per $1,000 = $800,000/$30,000,000 * 1,000 = $26.67
Compute the 2019 Federal income tax liability and the marginal and effective tax rates in each of the following independent cases. Click here to access the 2019 tax rate schedule. 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.
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%
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
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
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.

Xie Company identified the following activities, costs, and activity drivers for this year. The company manufactures two types of go-karts: Deluxe and Basic. Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Required: Compute the activity rate for each activity, assuming the company uses activity-based costing. (Round activity rate answers to 2 decimal places.)
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
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.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to record the redemption of the old issue and the sale of the new issue on September 30, 2018.
Answer:
Wildhorse Company
Journal Entries:
September 30, 2018:
Debit 9% Bonds Payable $580,000
Debit Bond Redemption Expenses $17,400
Credit Cash $597,400
To record the redemption of the 9% Bonds Payable at 103.
September 30, 2018:
Debit Cash $728,000
Credit 7% Bonds Payable $700,000
Credit Bonds Premium $28,000
To record the sale of 7% Bonds Payable at 104.
Explanation:
a) Dat and Calculations:
9% bonds payable at par value = $580,000
Issued at a discount of $17,400 ($580,000 * 97/100) - $580,000
Redeemed at a premium of $17,400 ($580,000 * 103/100) - $580,000
7% bonds payable at par value = $700,000
Issued at a premium of $28,000 ($700,000 * 104/100) - $700,000
Washtenaw Corporation uses a job-order costing system. The following data are for last year: Estimated Direct Labor Hours 14,000 Estimated Machine Hours 12,000 Estimated Manufacturing Overhead Cost $42,600 Actual Direct Labor Hours 11,000 Actual Machine Hours 13,000 Actual Manufacturing Overhead Cost $39,000 Washtenaw applies overhead using a predetermined rate based on direct labor-hours. What predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Answer:
$3.25 per direct labor-hour
Explanation:
Calculation for predetermined overhead rate was used last year
Predetermined overhead rate = $39,000 ÷ 12,000 direct labor-hours
Predetermined overhead rate= $3.25 per direct labor-hour
Therefore the predetermined overhead rate was used last year was $3.25 per direct labor-hour

Suppose we want to highlight the year number for each year during which sales were at least 5% higher than the previous year. We would begin by selecting the cell range D6:D12 and choose Conditional Formatting from the Ribbon. Then you would select new rules followed by the Use a Formula option. Finally you would enter the following formula.
Year Actual Sales Cumulative Sales
1 77 77
2 58 135
3 78 213
4 40 253
5 42 295
6 44 339

8 83 496
A. (E5/E4)>1.05.
B. ($E$6/E5)>1.05.
C. (E6/E5)>1.05.
D. (E6/E5)>.05.
Answer:
c) E6/E5 > 1.05
Option C is the correct option.
Explanation:
Data Given:
Year Actual Sales Cumulative Sales
1 77 77
2 58 135
3 78 213
4 40 253
5 42 295
6 44 339
7 74 413
8 83 496
The formula, we have to use in this question is:
c) E6/E5 > 1.05
Option C is the correct option.
Actual Sales/Previous Sales > (1+r)
r = 5%
r = 0.05
Actual Sales/Previous Sales > (1 + 0.05)
Actual Sales/ Previous Sales > (1.05)
Here, the sales were at least 5% higher than the previous year sales. Therefore, the correct formula here we need to enter in Excel Spread Sheet is "E6/E5 > 1.05"
Where, E is the name of the cell in the Excel Spreadsheet.

A young graduate looks to save money to buy a house 5.00 years from today. He is somewhat conservative and will invest his money in a bond fund that pays 6.00% APR with quarterly compounding. The graduate invests $12,370.00 today. How much will his account be worth in 5.00 years
Answer:
FV= $16,660.60
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Number of periods= 5*4= 20 quarters
Interest rate= 0.06/4= 0.015
Initital investment= $12,370
To calculate the future value after 5 years, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 12,370*(1.015^20)
FV= $16,660.60
If annual overhead costs are expected to be $958000 and direct labor costs are expected to be $1000000, then if the activity base is direct labor costs:
A. $1.04 is the predetermined overhead rate.
B. a predetermined overhead rate cannot be determined.
C. for every dollar of manufacturing overhead, 1.04 cents of direct labor will be assigned.
D. for every dollar of direct labor, 95.8 cents of manufacturing overhead will be assigned.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.958 per direct labor dollar
The correct answer is D.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated overhead costs= $958,000
Estimated direct labor costs= $1,000,000
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 958,000 / 1,000,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $0.958 per direct labor dollar
Scenario #3: Isaiah
Isaiah is in his 50s and currently does not have a retirement fund. However, he recently read a few articles about the insufficient savings of people in retirement and, as a result, he decides he wants to start now. He saves $500 per month for 15 years and earns 7% by investing in the stock market* through an index fund.
9. What is the total balance in the account after 15 years?
10. How much of the total did Isaiah contribute himself?
11. How much money did Isaiah make through compounded returns in this investment account?
12. Explain why Isaiah’s total balance is less than Pamela’s even though his money earned the same rate of return and his monthly contribution was higher than hers.
______________________________________________________
Question 4: If someone you know wanted to start investing, what best practices would you recommend they follow so they can harness the power of compounding? Explain your reasoning.
please hurry
Answer:
did anyone ever get the answer to this?
Explanation:
9. The total balance in Isaiah's retirement savings account at the end of 15 years is $159,405.62.
10. The total amount that Isaiah contributed to the savings account is $90,000.
11. Through compounded returns in the investment account, Isaiah earned interest income of $69,405.62.
12. The reason Isaiah's account balance is less than Pamela's is because Isaiah started contributing in his 50s, while Pamela started in her 30s.
13. The best strategy to harness the power of compounding is to start saving early. If it were possible, start saving in your 20s. When you start savings early, the investor reaps greatly from the power of multiplication inherent in compounding interest.
Data and Calculations:
Monthly savings into retirement account = $500
Period of savings = 15 years or 180 months
Interest rate = 7%
N (# of periods) = 180 months (15 years x 12)
I/Y (Interest per year) = 7%
PV (Present Value) = 0
PMT (Periodic Payment) = $500
Results
FV (Future Value) = $159,405.62
Sum of all periodic payments = $90,000.00 ($500 x 180)
Total Interest = $69,405.62
Thus, if Isaiah had started saving in his 30s like Pamela, he could be having $905,780.38 in his retirement savings account by the time he is 65 years old.

By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to act as the dealer in the swap agreement. hold both principal and interest to contract maturity. periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest. back both sides of the swap agreement. periodically pay a floating rate of interest and receive a fixed rate of interest.
Answer:
periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
Explanation:
The interest rate (rate of return) can be defined as the percentage of interest or dividends earned on money that is invested.
In Financial accounting, a return refers to the amount of profit generated by an investor on an investment over a specific period of time.
Basically, the interest rate which is typically expressed as a percentage of the initial costs of an investment can either be a gain or a loss on an investment. Therefore, a positive rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, simply means that an investor is making a profit (gains) while a negative rate of return on an investment over a specific period of time, indicates that the investor is running at a loss.
By convention, a swap buyer on an interest rate swap agrees to periodically pay a fixed rate of interest and receive a floating rate of interest.
You and your friends hike a total of 8 miles to the nearest campsite (Activity A). Upon arriving you break off into teams. One team will set up tents and hammocks for everyone to sleep in (Activity B). At the same time, another team will get wood for a fire (Activity C). Once they have the wood, that same team then proceeds to start the fire (Activity D). The third team will walk to find water (Activity E) and once they find it they will to collect water and bring it back to camp (Activity F). Once the fire is ready and the water is brought back to camp the two groups- the one collecting firewood and the one collecting water- will then purify the water (Activity G). Once the camp is set up and the water is purified everyone will come together and cook dinner around the campfire (Activity H). Once dinner is prepared and eaten half of the group stays behind to put out the fire (Activity I) and half of the group walks away from the campsite to dispose of the food waste (Activity J). After disposing of the food waste the second half of the group returns to the camp (Activity K). Once everyone is at the campsite the day of camping ends

Assume you are the CEO of Black Diamond, a global organization. You realize that some of the people in your organization are more comfortable working in a strong hierarchy while others prefer to work more like colleagues with their managers than as leaders. You have a project that requires highly structured reporting relationships with a clear hierarchy because it is a joint venture project. You believe people from some cultures may not feel comfortable with such a strong hierarchical relationship. In this case, you might seek to put people on the project who are from a country: ________
A. High uncertainty avoidance
B. High collectivism
C. High assertiveness
D. High power distance
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: High power distance.
Explanation:
To begin with, the anthropological concept known as "High Power Distance" is specifically refered to the relationship that exists between the members of a community in where there are established ranks and places that everybody has to follow and obey, knowing that there are high powers and low powers. Therefore that this concept was used in communities to see how the cultures were important to affect the tasks of the groups and how they collaborate with each other. That is why, that in the case presented it would be better to find people who came from a culture with high power distance due to the fact that they will be more comfortable working with a highly structured and strong hierarchy.

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
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.
Dr. Ruth is going to borrow $8,700 to help write a book. The loan is for one year and the money can be borrowed at either the prime rate or the LIBOR rate. Assume the prime rate is 9 percent and LIBOR 0.5 percent less. Also assume there will be a $75 transaction fee with LIBOR (this amount must be added to the interest cost with LIBOR). a. What is the effective interest rate on the LIBOR loan
Answer: 9.37%
Explanation:
The effective interest rate on the LIBOR loan is calculated as follows based on the information given in the question:
Principal = $8700
Prime rate = 9%
LIBOR net interest rate = 9% - 0.5% = 8.5%
Interest Cost will be:
= 8700 × 8.50 × 1/100
= 739.50
We the add the transaction Fee of $75 and thus will be:
= $739.50 + $75.00
= $814.50.
Then, the effective interest rate will be:
= $814.50 × 100/$8700
= $814.50 × $0.0115
= 9.37%
The LFH Corporation makes and sells a single product, Product T. Each unit of Product T requires 1.5 direct labor-hours at a rate of $10.50 per direct labor-hour. The direct labor workforce is fully adjusted each month to the required workload. LFH Corporation needs to prepare a Direct Labor Budget for the second quarter of next year. The company has budgeted to produce 28,000 units of Product T in June. The finished goods inventories on June 1 and June 30 were budgeted at 800 and 600 units, respectively. Budgeted direct labor costs for June would be:
Answer:
$441,000
Explanation:
Budgeted direct labor cost = Budgeted production * Hours per unit * Rate per hour
Budgeted direct labor cost = 28,000 units * 1.5 DLH * $10.50
Budgeted direct labor cost = $441,000
So, budgeted direct labor cost for June would be $441,000
Oslo Food Company distributes to consumers coupons which may be presented (on or before a stated expiration date) to grocers for discounts on certain products of Flavor. The grocers are reimbursed when they send the coupons to Oslo. In Oslo's experience, 55% of such coupons are redeemed, and generally one month elapses between the date a grocer receives a coupon from a consumer and the date Oslo receives it. During 2021 Oslo issued two separate series of coupons as follows:
Consumer Amount Disbursed
Issued On Total Value Expiration Date as of 12/31/18
1/1/18 $500,000 6/30/18 $236,000
7/1/18 840,000 12/31/18 350,000
The only journal entry recorded to date is: debit to coupon expense and credit to cash of $815,000. The December 31, 2018 balance sheet should include a liability for unredeemed coupons of:_____.
a) $0.
b) $70,000.
c) $184,000.
d) $420,000.
Answer: $112,000
Explanation:
$840,000 worth of coupons had been issued. The company expects that 55% of these coupons will be redeemed.
= 840,000 * 55%
= $462,000
Out of this, by year end only $350,000 have been disbursed, the amount left as a liability will be:
= 462,000 - 350,000
= $112,000

Jan Gentry is the owner of a small company that produces electric scissors used to cut fabric. The annual demand is 8,000 scissors, and Jan produces the scissors in batches. On average, Jan can produce 150 scissors per day, and during the production pro-cess, demand for scissors has been about 40 scissors per day. The cost to set up the production process is $100, and it costs Jan 30 cents to carry one pair of scissors for one year. How many scissors should Jan produce in each batch
Answer:
2,697 scissors per batch
Explanation:
Q = √[2KD / h(1 - x)]
K = setup cost = $100D = annual demand = 8,000h = annual holding cost = $0.30x = annual demand / annual production rate = 8,000 / (150 x 200) = 0.267Q = √{(2 x $100 x $8,000) / [$0.30 x (1 - 0.267)]} = √($1,600,000 / 0.22) = 2,696.8 ≈ 2,697 scissors per batch

The company's contribution margin ratio is closest to:__________ (Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your answer to whole percentage)
a) 42%
b) 34%
c) 66%
d) 58%
Answer:
A. 42%
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price - Unitary variable cost) / Selling price
Selling price = $2,122,200 / 262,000 = $8.1
Total variable cost = Variable manufacturing expense $975,200 + Variable selling and administrative expense $260,400 = $1,235,600
Unitary variable cost = $1,235,600 / 262,000 = $4.72
Contribution margin ratio = (8.1 - 4.72)/8.1 = 41.73% = 42%

During the last financial crisis, it was discovered that the financial sector was not sufficiently supervised. They tended to run their institutions without regard to the financial disasters that their activities might generate in the economy. To forecast financial recklessness, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010. The Act created a new agency for consumer protection in the financial sector. It promoted financial stability by improving accountability and transparency, especially with regard to derivative transactions. It took steps to curtail excessive risk-taking by financial institutions.
