Answer:
Long-term capital gains are usually taxed at a lower rate. Any capital gain you make on a short-term property is taxed at your regular income tax rate. However, if you can hold on to a property for more than one year, you could pay significantly less.
Explanation:
Answer:
Capital gains tax is a lower tax price, because it is the sales price minus the original cost. A sales tax on the other hand is a higher tax that is going to the government.
Explanation:
Hoffman Company manufactures car seats in its Miami plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and the testing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The process- costing system at Hoffman Company has a single direct- cost category (direct materials) and a single indirect- cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each car seat, it is immediately transferred to testing. Hoffman Company uses the weighted- average method of process costing. Data for the assembly department for October 2013 are as follows:
Physical Units car costs Direct Conversion
Materials Costs
Work in process, Oct 1 *a 4,000 $1,248,000 $241,650
Started during Oct 2017 22,500
Complete during Oct 2017 26,000
Work in process, Oct 31 *b 500
Total costs added during Oct 2017 $4,635,000 $2,575,125
a - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 45%.
b - Degree of completion: direct materials,?%; conversion costs, 65%.
1. For each cost category, compute equivalent units in the assembly department. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.
2. What issues should the manager focus on when reviewing the equivalent-unit calculations?
3. For each cost category, summarize total assembly department costs for October 2017 and calculate the cost per equivalent unit.
4. Assign costs to units completed and transferred out and to units in ending work in process.
Answer:
Hoffman Company
1. Equivalent units, using the weighted-average method:
Physical Direct Conversion
Units Materials
Complete during Oct 2017 26,000 26,000 (100%) 26,000 (100%)
Work in process, Oct 31 *b 500 500 (100%) 325 (65%)
Total equivalent units 26,500 26,325
2. The manager should focus on the tendency of departmental head reporting higher degree of completion to demonstrate improved performance of their departments. This will result in understated cost per equivalent unit and overstated operating income.
Again, when performance is too good, the departmental supervisor might be tempted to report lower degree of completion, which reduces the current period's income. The issue is that unchecked estimates of degree of completion can help smooth earnings from one period to the next for the departments. But this is not in the best interest of the company.

Brittany started a law practice as a sole proprietor. She owned a computer, printer, desk, and file cabinet she purchased during law school (several years ago) that she is planning to use in her business. What is the depreciable basis that Brittany should use in her business for each asset, given the following information?
Asset Purchase Price FMV at Time Converted to Business use
Computer $2,500 $800
Printer $300 $150
Desk $1,200 $1,000
File cabinet $200 $225
Answer:
For tax purposes, assets that are converted to business use from personal, should use the lesser of the Fair Market Value (FMV) at the time of conversion or the cost of the asset.
Computer.
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $800
Printer
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $150
Desk
The FMV is less than the purchase price so the depreciable basis is:
= $1,000
File Cabinet
The purchase price is less than the FMV so the depreciable basis is:
= $200
(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs
Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes
Explanation:
In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.
Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.
If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:
= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes
= 2 sacks of potatoes
A small fast-food restaurant is automating its burger production. The owner needs to decide whether to rent a machine that can produce up to 2,000 hamburgers per week at a marginal cost of $1 per burger (excluding the cost of ingredients) or another machine that can also make up to 2,000 burgers per week but at a marginal cost of $0.50 per burger (again, excluding the cost of ingredients). The weekly lease for the machine with the higher marginal cost is $1,800. The weekly lease for the machine with the lower marginal cost is $2,170. The restaurant can sell burgers for $10 per burger, and the cost of ingredients for each burger is $2.
Suppose the restaurant leases the machine with the higher marginal cost for the first week and sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the first week.
Suppose now the restaurant leases the machine with the lower marginal cost for the second week and again sells 2,000 burgers that week. The restaurant owner earned profits of $_____in the second week.
Answer:
$11,700 and $12,240
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
Total Revenue = No. of Sale Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= 2,000 × $10
= $20,000
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($1 + $2)
= $6,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,300 + $6,000
= $8,300
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Thus, the profit earned is
= $20,000 - $8,300
= $11,700
For the other case
Profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost
Here,
Total cost = Fixed cost + variable cost
Variable Cost = No. of Sale Units × (Marginal Cost + Ingredients cost for Each Burger)
= 2,000 × ($0.50 + $2)
= $5,000
So,
Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
= $2,760 + $5,000
= $7,760
And, the total revenue is $20,000
Therefore, the earned profit is
= $20,000 - $7,760
= $12,240

If you buy a ticket to an outdoor concert but come down with a bad cold on the night of the show, the principle of ____ suggests you should not consider the money you already spent on the ticket when deciding whether or not to go.
Answer:
sunk cost
Explanation:
Sunk cost is cost that has already been incurred and it cannot be recovered. When making future decisions, sunk cost should not be considered.
The money i paid for the ticket is the sunk cost. I should not consider this cost when making the decision of whether to for the concert or not to
If producing 200 buttons and 200 safety pins
daily is a 50% split of resources, where do we
see the opportunity cost if you decide to
produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins?
A. The opportunity cost is still at 50%.
B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
C. The opportunity cost is in the inefficiency of producing to
products.
D. The opportunity cost is in the market share for buttons.
Answer:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Explanation:
The correct option is - B. The opportunity cost is in producing fewer safety pins.
Reason -
Initially we produce 200 buttons and 200 safety pins and there are 50% split of resources.
Now, If we produce 300 buttons and 100 safety pins and there is no change in the split of resources, then
The opportunity cost of extra 100 buttons is sale amount we would have been getting if we make that 100 safety pins.
William Parks, a special agent of the U.S. Customs Service, was investigating allegations that Bet-Air, Inc. (a seller of spare aviation parts and supplies) had supplied restricted military parts to Iran. Parks entered Bet-Air's property and removed a bag of shredded documents from a garbage dumpster. The dumpster was located near the Bet-Air offices in a parking area reserved for the firm's employees. To reach the dumpster, Parks had to travel 40 yards on a private paved road. No signs indicated that the road was private. In later judicial proceedings, Parks testified that at the time he traveled on the road, he did not know he was on Bet-Air's property. When reconstructed, some of the previously shredded documents contained information seemingly relevant to the investigation. Parks used the shredded documents and the information they revealed as the basis for obtaining a warrant to search the Bet-Air premises. In executing the search warrant, Parks and other law enforcement officers seized numerous documents and Bet-Air records.
A federal grand jury indicted Bet-Air's chairman, Terence Hall, and other defendants on various counts related to the alleged supplying of restricted military parts to Iran. Contending that the Fourth Amendment had been violated, Hall filed a motion asking the court to suppress (i.e., exclude) all evidence derived from the warrantless search of the dumpster and all evidence seized during the search of the Bet-Air premises (the search pursuant to the warrant). The federal district court denied Hall's motion. Following a jury trial, Hall was convicted on all counts and sentenced to prison. He appealed, again arguing that the Fourth Amendment was violated. How did the appellate court rule? Was there a Fourth Amendment violation?
Answer:
The appellate court did not rule in favor of Hall. Instead, it upheld the lower court's rulings. When Hall appealed up to the Supreme Court, the highest court affirmed Hall's conviction and sentencing.
This shows that there was no violation of the Fourth Amendment in Hall's case. In addition, the prosecution established the existence of probable cause in the absence of a valid warrant to search and obtain evidence that would establish the case against Terrence Hall, leading to his eventual conviction.
Explanation:
Although, the Fourth Amendment of the US Constitution protects an individual from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government, it does not guarantee against all searches and seizures. It only guarantees against searches and seizures that are regarded as legally unreasonable. This implies that there may be probable cause for searches and seizures.
As you drive to school in the morning, you will probably flip through several radio stations before deciding to settle on one for the duration of the drive. For instance: you can listen to a "fair and balanced" talk show; an "intelligent talk" program; an interactive "call-in" talk show; a "self-improvement" talk show; and, even an "all sports" talk show. With so much monopolistic competition in radio programming, radio stations focus on offering you something just a little different.

1. A manager uses the following equation to predict monthly receipts: Y=450+10t time in weeks and y = receipts.) What is the forecast for July 14th if t=4 is the fourth week in January and t = 6 is February 14th of the same year (assume there are 4 weeks in each month)?
a. 690
b. 710
c. 730
d. 750
2. A major reason that decision making is often not such a rational process is that there are: Suppose we have H0:µ1= µ2 versus HA: µ1 ≠ µ2, with level of significance of α =.05 and critical values of zα/2 = ± 1.96, and the computed Test Statistics value of Z = -1.07. What is our decision?
Answer:
1. 690
2. Do not reject the null hypothesis.
Explanation:
1. Month t
At the end of Feb 6
March 4
April 4
May 4
June 2
14th of July 2
Total 24
Therefore on 14th July, t = 24
Forecast: Y = 450+10t = 450 + 10*24 = 450+240 = 690
2. Options are "a. Reject the null hypothesis. b. Do not reject the null hypothesis. c. Take a larger sample. d. Reserve judgment"
In general, if test statistic is more extreme than the critical values at given level of significance then we reject the null hypothesis otherwise we do not reject the null hypothesis.
Here, test statistic for the given two tailed test is Z = -1.07 and critical value at level of significance α = 0.5 is ± 1.96 . Since -1.96<Z<1.96, we can say that we do not reject Null Hypothesis as the test statistic is not extreme than the critical value at given level of significance.

In addition, at the end of the year, Al received $12,000 as an advance payment from a health maintenance organization (HMO) for services to be rendered in 2018. Compute Al’s gross income for 2017:
a. Using the cash basis of accounting.
b. Using the accrual basis of accounting.
c. Advise Al on which method of accounting he should use.
Answer:
a. Using the cash basis of accounting:
Cash received from customer $280,000
Cash received for future service $12,000
Total gross income $292,000
b. Using the accrual basis of accounting:
Service revenue = ($280,000 - $40,000 + 60,000) = $300,000
Gross income $300,000
c) AI should use cash accural basis of accounting so that he will not have to pay income taxes on uncollected accounts receivable.
At the end of the current year, Accounts Receivable has a balance of $2,150,000; Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a debit balance of $10,500; and sales for the year total $51,850,000. Using the aging method, the balance of Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is estimated as $110,000.
a. Determine the amount of the adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts.
b. Determine the adjusted balances of (i) Accounts Receivable (ii) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts (iii) Bad Debt Expense.
c. Determine the net realizable value of accounts receivable.
Answer:
a. Allowance for doubtful accounts = Unadjusted balance + Adjusted balance
= $10,500 + $110,000
= $120,500
b. i)The adjusted balance of accounts receivable shall be $2,150,000(adjusted debit balance)
ii) Adjusted balance = Bad debt expense - Unadjusted balance
= $120,500 - $10,500
= $110,000 (Adjusted credit balance)
iii) Adjusted bad debt expense = Unadjusted balance of allowance for doubtful accounts + Adjusted balance allowance for doubtful accounts
= $10,500 + $110,000
= $120,500 (Adjusted debit balance)
c. Net realizable value = Gross accounts receivable - Allowance for doubtful accounts
= $2,150,000 - $110,000
= $2,040,000

Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

The shareholder-debtholder conflict refers to:________
a) When shareholders recognize that being socially responsible is not inconsistent with structuring the rights incentives for managers
b) When the primary goal of the financial manager is to maximize shareholder wealth and minimize bondholder wealth
c) When shareholders prefer risk and bondholders prefer to limit risk
d) When manager incentives are not properly aligned with those of the firm's shareholders and bondholders
e) When bondholders recognize that being socially responsible is not inconsistent with shareholder maximizing wealth
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The shareholder-debtholder conflict usually arises because shareholders would prefer the firm to engage in more risky business activities. This is because this has the potential to increase the income of the firm and as a result, the wealth of shareholders.
On the other hand debtholders would not want the firm to engage in risky activities because it might negatively affect the firm's ability to make its schedules payments to debtholders.
In order to protect themselves, debtholders usually draft a deb covenant which contains allowable activities of the firm
Everlast Co. manufactures a variety of drill bits. The company's plant is partially automated. The budget for the year includes $432,000 payroll for 4,800 direct labor-hours. Listed below is cost driver information used in the product-costing system:

Direct labor hour 336 hours
Using ABC, how much other overhead is assigned to the order?
a. $9,960.
b. $8,000.
c. $11,108.
d. $45,992.
e. $19,200.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information
Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour
Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup
Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel
Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection
Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour
Details of the current product requirement
8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000
606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242
80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200
830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960
336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240
Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642

Grimm Manufacturing is trying to determine the equivalent units for conversion costs with 15,000 units of ending work in process at 40% completion when there is a total 45,000 physical units. There are no beginning units in the department. Conversion costs occur evenly throughout the entire production period. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period
Answer: 36000 units
Explanation:
Ending work in process = 15,000 units
Completion rate = 40%
Total physical units = 45,000
The units completed will be:
= Total Units - Ending working in process
= 45,000 - 15,000
= 30,000
Since only 40% of the ending work in process inventory units has been completed, the completed units will then be:
= 15,000 × 40%
= 15000 × 0.4
= 6,000 units.
Then, the equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period will be:
= 30,000 + 6,000
= 36,000 units.

Specter Co. combines cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet. Using the following information, determine the amount reported on the year-end balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents. $6,000 cash deposit in checking account. $26,000 bond investment due in 20 years. $6,500 U.S. Treasury bill due in 1 month. $350, 3-year loan to an employee. $1,600 of currency and coins. $650 of accounts receivable.
Answer:
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents = $14,100
Explanation:
Particulars Amount Reason
Checking Account $6,000 Readily realizable
Bond Investment Nil The bond is due in 20 yrs, hence not readily realizable
U.S. Treasury Bill $6,500 Due in 1 month
Loan to an Employee Nil The loan is for a period of more than 3 months
Currency and Coins $1,600 They are cash itself
Accounts Receivable Nil Accounts receivable is not considered as readily realizable
Total Cash and Cash Equivalents = $14,100
Washburn Company produces earbuds. During the tear, manufacturing overhead costs are estimated to be $200,000. Estimated machine usage is 2,500 hours. The company assigns overhead based on machine hours. Job No. 551 used 90 machine hours . Compute the predetermined overhead rate, determine the amount of overhead to apply to Job No. 551, and prepare the entry to apply overhead to Job No. 551 on January 15.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 200,000 / 2,500
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $80 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Job 551:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 80*90
Allocated MOH= $7,200
Finally, the entry to record the allocation:
Work in process inventory 7,200
Manufacturing overhead (apply Job 551) 7,200
