Lionel is an unmarried law student at State University Law School, a qualified educational institution. This year Lionel borrowed $30,000 from County Bank and paid interest of $1,800. Lionel used the loan proceeds to pay his law school tuition. Calculate the amounts Lionel can deduct for higher education expenses and interest on higher-education loans under the following circumstances:
Answer:
Deductible interest expense of $1440 and deductible education expense of $4000.
Explanation:
There are certain tax laws which allows a tax payer to deduct his expenses from the taxable amount. The tax payer can deduct interest expense from the taxable amount since it is a tax shield. Lionel can deduct an interest expense of $1440 from the taxable amount and he can deduct $4000 for his education from the taxable amount.
During 2018, Raines Umbrella Corp. had sales of $763,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $462,000, $103,000, and $148,500, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $73,800 and a tax rate of 22 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully tax deductible.)
a. What is the company’s net income/loss for 2018? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a positive value.)
b. What is the company's operating cash flow? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. The net income or loss for the year 2018 is
Sales $763,000
Less: COGS $462,000
Less: A&S expenses $103,000
Less: Depreciation $148,500
EBIT $49,500
Less: Interest $73,800
Taxable income -$24,300
Less: Taxes(22%) $0
Net income(loss) -$24,300
Net loss = $24,300
b. The operating cash flow is
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $49,500 + $148,500 - $0
= $198,000
The following note transactions occurred during the year for Towell Company: Nov. 10 Towell issued a 90-day, 9% note payable for $8,000 to Hyatt Company for merchandise. Dec. 1 Towell signed a 120-day, 10% note at the bank for $12,000. Dec. 20 Towell gave Barr, Inc., a 60-day, 10%, $12,000 note for payment of account. Prepare the general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31. Use 360 days for calculations and round to the nearest dollar.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The general journal entries necessary to adjust the interest accounts at December 31 will be:
1. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $8,000 × 9% × 51/ 360 = $102
Credit: Interest payable = $102
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on November 10).
2. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% ×30/360 = $120
Credit: Interest payable = $120
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 1)
3. December 31:
Debit: Interest Expenses = $12,000 × 10% × 11/360 = $36.67
Credit: Interest payable = $36.67
(To accrue interest expenses for the note issued on December 20).
You want to have $3 million in real dollars in an account when you retire in 40 years. The nominal return on your investment is 10 percent and the inflation rate is 4.8 percent. What real amount must you deposit each year to achieve your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit= $23,647.9
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= 3,000,000
Numer of periods (n)= 40 years
Nominal rate= 10%
Inflation rate= 4.8%
To simplify calculations, we will calculate the real interest rate by deducting from the nominal interest rate the inflation rate:
Real interest rate= 0.1 - 0.048
Real interest rate= 0.052
Now, 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= (3,000,000*0.052) / [(1.052^40) - 1]
A= $23,647.9

c. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment for financial reporting purposes amounts to $57,900. Depreciation of these assets amounts to $84,300 for the tax return.
d. A $3,200 fine paid for violation of pollution laws was deducted in computing pretax financial income.
e. Interest revenue recognized on an investment in tax-exempt municipal bonds amounts to $1,500.
4. Taxable income is expected for the next few years. (Assume (a) is short-term in nature; assume (b) and (c) are long-term in nature.)
Required:
a. Compute taxable income for 2021.
b. Compute the deferred taxes at December 31, 2021, that relate to the temporary differences described above.
c. Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a. Taxable income for 2021.
Sage Company:
Computation of Taxable income and income tax for 2021
Pretax financial Income = $87000
Permanent differences:
Fine for Pollution = $3200
Interest revenue on municipal bonds = -$1500
Temporary differences:
Less: Excess of depreciation as per tax over books = -$26400
Add: Warranty expense in books higher than as per tax = $4700
Less: Gross profit as per books higher than as per tax on construction contracts = -$18200
Taxable Income = $48800
Income Tax (20%) = $9760
b. Deferred Taxes:
Deferred tax assets = $4700*20% = $940
Deferred tax liability = ($26,400 + $18,200) * 20% = $8920
c. Note: Journal Entries are attached in the attachment below.
The expected return on a portfolio: Group of answer choices can be greater than the expected return on the best performing security in the portfolio. can be less than the expected return on the worst performing security in the portfolio. is independent of the performance of the overall economy. is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio. is an arithmetic average of the returns of the individual securities when the weights of those securities are unequal.
Answer:
is limited by the returns on the individual securities within the portfolio
Explanation:
Portfolio is simply defined as a list of securities showing how much is (or will be) invested in each of them.
The expected return on a portfolio is calculated as the weighted average of the expected returns on the securities that the portfolio involves. The weight of each security is the a Portion or a fraction of wealth invested in that security. Expected return on a portfolio of N securities is: rp= sum (Xr).
Expected Return is usually based on anticipated income and anticipated capital appreciation.
Jack and Jill are the only two residents in a neighbourhood, and they would like to hire a security guard. The value of a security guard is $50 per month to Jack and $90 per month to Jill. Irrespective of who pays the guard, the guard will protect the entire neighbourhood and charge $120 per month for the service. Suppose Jack earns $4,000 per month and Jill earns $8,000 per month.
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, how much would Jack and Jill pay, and would it be enough to pay for the security guard?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
This tax _____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Suppose instead that Jack proposes a payment scheme under which Jack and Jill would each receive the same net benefit from hiring the guard. How much would Jack and Jill pay now?
Jack would pay $ _____.
Jill would pay $ _____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? _____
Answer:
Jack and Jill
a. With a proportional tax of 1 percent on income, it would be enough to pay for the security guard $120.
Jack would pay $ __40___.
Jill would pay $ __80___.
This tax _will____ be enough to pay for the security guard.
b. Based on net benefit from the guard:
Jack would pay $ __43___.
Jill would pay $ _ 77____.
Would both Jack and Jill vote for this scheme? __No___ Jack will feel cheated by Jill in the sum of $3. Jack will likely prefer the 1% based on income.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Value of a security guard for Jack = $50 per month
Value of a security guard for Jill = $90 per month
Total value of a security guard for both Jack and Jill = $140 ($50 + $90)
Cost of hiring a guard = $120 per month
Jack's monthly earnings = $4,000
Jill's monthly earnings = $8,000
Total monthly earnings for both Jack and Jill = $12,000
a. Proportional tax of 1 percent on income = $120 ($12,000 * 1%)
Jack will pay $4,000 * 1% = $40
Jill will pay $8,000 * 1% = $80
Total = $120
b. Net benefit scheme:
Jack will pay $50/$140 * $120 = $43
Jill will pay $90/$140 * $120 = $77
Total = $120

Therefore The total product cost is $ 969,000
Setrakian Industries needs to raise $48.5 million to fund a new project. The company will sell bonds that have a coupon rate of 5.56 percent paid semiannually and that mature in 10 years. The bonds will be sold at an initial YTM of 6.13 percent and have a par value of $2,000. How many bonds must be sold to raise the necessary funds
Answer:
25,317 unit
Explanation:
Current price of bond = PV(Rate, Nper, Pmt, Fv)
Current price of bond = PV(6.13%/2, 10*2 ,5.56%/2*2000, 2000)
Current price of bond = $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = $48,500,000 / $1,915.71
Number of bonds to issue = 25316.98430
Number of bonds to issue = 25,317 unit
Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020
Answer:
$527,737
Explanation:
The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.
The Bond Parameters can be set as :
PV = - $5,259,870
FV = $5,700,000
PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000
N = 5 x 2 = 10
YTM = 10 %
P/YR = 2
Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :
Date Capital Portion Interest Balance
June 30 $34,994 $262,994 $5,294,864
Dec 30 $36,743 $264,743 $5,331,607
Total $71,737 $527,737 $5,331,607
therefore,
The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737
Zeus, Inc. produces a product that has a variable cost of $9.50 per unit. The company's fixed costs are $40,000. The product sells for $12.00 a unit and the company desires to earn a $20,000 profit. What is the volume of sales in units required to achieve the target profit? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 26,087
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $12
Unitary variable cost= 9.7
Fixed costs= $40,000
Desired profit= $20,000
To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (40,000 + 20,000) / (12 - 9.7)
Break-even point in units= 26,087
On December 30, 2017, the Board of Directors of Blue Manufacturing, Inc. committed to a plan to discontinue the operations of its Owl division. Blue estimated that Owl's 2018 operating loss would be $750,000 and that the fair value of Owl's facilities was $450,000 less than their carrying amounts. The estimate for the 2018 operating loss turned out to be correct. Owl's 2017 operating loss was $1,000,000, and the division was actually sold for $400,000 less than its carrying amount in 2018. Blue's effective tax rate is 35%. In its 2017 income statement, what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Answer:
$942,500
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations
Using this formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[(Operating loss+Fair value)*Tax rate]
Let plug in the formula
Loss from discontinued operations=[($1,000,000+ $450,000)* (100% - 35% tax rate)]
Loss from discontinued operations=$1,450,0000*65%
Loss from discontinued operations= $942,500
Therefore what amount should Blue report as loss from discontinued operations is $942,500

Additional information:
1. Common stock outstanding January 1, 2017, was 30,000 shares, and 39,000 shares were outstanding at December 31, 2017.
2. The market price of Teal Mountain stock was $15 in 2017.
3. Cash dividends of $24,700 were paid, $ 6,500 of which were to preferred stockholders.
Compute the following measures for 2017.
(a) Earnings per share $_____
(b) Price-earnings ratio _____ times
(c) Payout ratio _____ %
(d) Times interest earned _____ times
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
a. The earnings per share would be calculated as;
Earnings per share = (Net income - Preferred stock dividend) / Average number of common shares outstanding
But
Weighted average number of common shares = (Number of common shares outstanding in the beginning + Number of common shares outstanding at then end) / 2
= (30,000 + 39,000) / 2
= 34,500
Preferred stock dividend = 6,500
Therefore,
Earnings per share = ($57,000 - $6,500) / 34,500
= $50,500 / 34,500
= $1.46
b. Price earnings ratio
= Market price per share / Earning per share
= $15 / $1.46
= 10.27 times
c. The payout ratio
= (Total cash dividends - Preferred stock dividends) / Net income
= ($24,700 - $6,500) / $57,000
= $18,200 / $57,00)
= 31.93%
d. Times interest
= ( Net income + Interest expense + Tax expense) / Interest expense.
= $57,000 + $10,200 + $29,600) / $10,200
= $96,800 / $10,200
= 9.49 times
The auto repair shop of Quality Motor Company uses standards to control the labor time and labor cost in the shop.The standard labor cost for a motor tune-up is given below:
Standard Hours Standard Rate Standard Cost
Motor tune-up 2.50 $35.00 $87.50
The record showing the time spent in the shop last week on motor tune-ups has been misplaced. However, the shop supervisor recalls that 60 tune-ups were completed during the week, and the controller recalls the following variance data relating to tune-ups:
Labor rate variance $ 50 F
Labor spending variance $ 55 U
Required:
1. Determine the number of actual labor-hours spent on tune-ups during the week.
2. Determine the actual hourly rate of pay for tune-ups last week.
Answer:
Actual Quantity= 151.57
Actual Rate= $3.17
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard Hours 2.50
Standard Rate $35.00
Standard Cost $87.50
Number of tune-ups= 60
Labor rate variance $ 50 F
Labor spending variance $ 55 U
First, we need to calculate the actual number of hours. We need to use the direct labor efficiency variance:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
-55 = (60*2.5 - Actual Quantity)*35
-55 = 5,250 - 35Actual Quantity
35Actual Quantity = 5,305
Actual Quantity= 151.57
Now, the actual hourly rate. We need to use the direct labor rate variance formula:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
50 = (3.5 - Actual Rate)*151.57
50= 530.5 - 151.57Actual Rate
151.57Actual Rate= 480.5
Actual Rate= $3.17
Wesson Company uses the allowance method to record its expected credit losses. It estimates its losses at one percent of credit sales, which were $750,000 during the year. The Accounts Receivable balance was $220,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $1,000 at year-end. What amount is the debit to the Bad Debts Expense
Answer: $7,500
Explanation:
The Bad Debt expense is the amount that might not be paid by the account receivables of a company.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Credit sales * Estimated losses
= 750,000 * 1%
= $7,500
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years. b. We must have information on the cost of capital in order to determine which project has the larger early cash flows. c. The crossover rate, i.e., the rate at which Projects A and B have the same NPV, is greater than either project's IRR. d. The NPV profile graph is inconsistent with the statement made in the problem. e. More of Project B's cash flows occur in the later years.
Answer: a. More of Project A's cash flows occur in the later years.
Explanation:
When a project has its cashflows occurring in later years, the NPV will be less because the discount rate would have a greater period to discount it in as opposed to cashflows that occur more recently which would receive less discounting from the discount rate.
As a result of Project A having more distant cashflows, the discount rate discounted its cash flows more which is why higher rates led to its NPV being zero because those higher rates got to discount it over a longer period.
Apple Inc. just paid a dividend of $3 per share. You expect that Apple's dividend will increase at the rate of 10% per year for the next 10 years. After that, you expect that Apple Inc. will increase its dividend at the rate of 3% per year forever. The required rate of return for Apple is 20%. What is the price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid?
Answer:
The price of Apple just after the current dividend was paid is $26.79.
Explanation:
Note: See the attached file for the calculation of present values for year 1 to 10 dividends.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Previous year dividend in year 1 = Dividend just paid = $3
Total of dividends from year 1 to year 10 = $19.17617169980840
Year 10 dividend = $7.781227380
Therefore, we have:
Year 11 dividend = Year 10 dividend * (100% + Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $7.781227380 * (100% + 3%) = $8.0146642014
Price at year 10 = Year 11 dividend / (Rate of return - Perpetual dividend growth rate) = $8.0146642014 / (20% - 3%) = $47.1450835376471
PV of price at year 10 = Price at year 10 / (100% + Required return)^Number of years = $47.1450835376471 / (100% + 20%)^10 = $7.61419419713817
Price of Apple = Total of dividends from year 1 to year 8 + PV of price at year 10 = $19.17617169980840 + $7.61419419713817 = $26.79

The Sandeep Company's April 30 pre-reconciliation cash balance on its books was $35,000. While preparing the April 30 bank reconciliation, Sandeep determined that outstanding checks total $11,000, deposits in transit total $7,000, and bank service charges are $50. Assuming there are no other reconciling items, what was Sandeep's April 30 cash balance per the bank statement
Answer: $38,950
Explanation:
The bank balance and the book cash balance might often be different for different reasons, one of which is due to the transactions recorded in the books not having been processed by the banks amongst others.
The books and bank balance will therefore need to be reconciled.
Balance per bank statement = Cash balance in books + Outstanding checks - Deposits in transit - Bank charges
= 35,000 + 11,000 - 7,000 - 50
= $38,950

These two things would be required that can impact the awareness and the motivation level of the firm
hence, the option b is correct
If The Wall Street Journal lists a stock's dividend as $1, then it is most likely the case that the stock: Multiple Choice pays $1 per share per quarter. paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year. paid $1 during the past quarter, with no future dividends forecast. is expected to pay a dividend of $1 per share at the end of next year.
Answer:
paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Explanation:
A stock is ownership rights purchased by investors in a public company. Holders of stock are called stockholders and they are regarded as owners of the company.
Stockholders are paid dividends. Dividends are a proportion of a company's profits paid to shareholders.
If the stock's dividend is $1, it means it either paid $1 the past year or paid $.25 per share per quarter for the past year
Dumphy and Funke are rival tattoo artists in the small town of Feline. There are no other tattoo artists in town. It costs $30 to produce a Tweety Bird tattoo. Assume for simplicity that fixed costs are zero and that Dumphy and Funke perform identical work. For a while, there was too much demand for Funke and Dumphy to handle and they both charged $200 for a tattoo. But recently, demand has dropped significantly and there is not enough work for both to fill their days at any price. However, there is some demand at all prices. What type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand
Answer: price competition
Explanation:
The type of competition would Funke and Dumphy likely engage in after the decrease in demand is price competition.
Price competition simply means when the companies in a particular industry lower their prices afsubst the prices of identical products in order to boost demand and sales.
Since there's a reduction in demand, Dumphy and Funke will engage in price competition to boost sales.
You are the VP of Marketing at Stauffer Foods and you learn that the puddings packaged desserts line from General Foods (GF) is available for acquisition. This division produces successful products like Pudding Pops, Instant Pudding, and Pudding in a Cup. You make some of assumptions about this line. Which assumption would you not make
Answer: purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
Explanation:
The options include:
a. purchasing the line would bring established distribution for Stauffer Foods.
b. purchasing the line would add equity value to Stauffer Foods.
c. All would be reasonable assumptions to make.
d. purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods
e. purchasing the line could create some difficulties in dealing with debt load.
The assumption that shouldn't be made is that purchasing the line would bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods.
When a product is acquired, one should not expect immediate profit or cash flow instantly. Purchasing the line would not bring immediate cash flow for Stauffer Foods because it's a gradual process even though there may eventually be cash flow and profit in the long run.
All the other options that re given are correct, therefore the correct option is D.
On January 1, 2019, Metco Inc. reported 268,000 shares of $5 par value common stock as being issued and outstanding. On March 24, 2019, Metco Inc. purchased for its treasury 3,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $38.00 per share. On August 19, 2019, 610 of these treasury shares were sold for $46.50 per share. Metco's directors declared cash dividends of $0.40 per share during the second quarter and again during the fourth quarter, payable on June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2019, respectively. A 2% stock dividend was issued at the end of the year. There were no other transactions affecting common stock during the year. Calculate the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend.
Answer:
The number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
Explanation:
This can be determined as follows:
Number of shares before stock dividend = Number of shares reported on January 1, 2019 - Number of shares purchased for its treasury on March 24, 2019 + Number of treasury shares were sold on August 19, 2019 = 268,000 - 3,000 + 610 = 265,610
Number of dividend shares = Number of shares before stock dividend * Rate of stock dividend issued = 265,610 * 2% = 5,312.20
Therefore, the number of shares of stock issued in the stock dividend is 5,312.20 shares.
The owners of Whitewater rafting are currently contemplating a manufacturing process (Old Process) that will require an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft vs. a larger (New Process) initial investment of $20,000 with more automated equipment that would reduce their variable cost of manufacture to $2 per raft. Compare the two manufacturing processes proposed here. For what volume demand should each process be chosen?
A. From 0 to 1000 choose Old Process, From 1000 to infinity choose New Process
B. From 0 to 4000 choose New Process, From 4000 to infinity choose Old Process
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
D. Always use the Old Process and never use the New Process
E Always use the New Process and never use the Old Process
Answer:
C. From 0 to 4000 choose Old Process, From 4000 to infinity choose New Process
Explanation:
Let the number of raft be denoted by Y
We are told that old process requires an investment of $4,000 and a variable cost of $6 per raft
Thus, old process cost is;
C_old = 4000 + 6Y
We are told that the new process has an investment of $20,000 and that the variable cost is $2 per raft..
Thus, new process cost is;
C_new = 20000 + 2Y
To find the volume demand by which each process will be chosen, we will equate both old and new costs to get;
4000 + 6Y = 20000 + 2Y
Rearranging, we have;
6Y - 2Y = 20000 - 4000
4Y = 16000
Y = 16000/4
Y = 4000
Thus, old process should be applied from 0 to 4000 and new process should be applied from 4000 to infinity.
Thus, option C is correct.

Illumination Corporation operates one central plant that has two divisions, the Flashlight Division and the Night Light Division. The following data apply to the coming budget year: Budgeted costs of operating the plant for 2000 to 3000 hours: Fixed operating costs per year $480,000 Variable operating costs $800 per hour Budgeted long-run usage per year: Flashlight Division 1500 hours Night Light Division 700 hours Practical capacity 3000 hours Assume that practical capacity is used to calculate the allocation rates. Actual usage for the year by the Flashlight Division was 1400 hours and by the Night Light Division was 600 hours. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of operating costs will be allocated to the Night Light Division
Answer:
Allocated operating costs= $576,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined operating costs allocation rate:
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= total estimated operating costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= (480,000 / 3,000) + 800
Predetermined operating costs allocation rate= $960 per hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to Night Light Division:
Allocated operating costs= Predetermined operating costs allocation rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated operating costs= 960*600
Allocated operating costs= $576,000
8. Zelda owns a 50% general interest in YZ Partnership. At the beginning of the current year, the adjusted basis in her partnership interest was $95,000. In the current year, YZ generated a $110,000 business loss, earned $15,000 dividend and interest income on its investments and recognized a $7,000 capital gain. YZ also made a $5,000 distribution to Zelda. Compute Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Answer:
$52,500
Explanation:
Computation for Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year.
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-(50%*$110,000)+(50%*$15,000)+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis=$95,000-$55,000+$7,500+$5,000
Zelda’s adjusted basis= $52,500
Based on the information given we assumed 50% because Zelda is a 50% partner.
Therefore Zelda’s adjusted basis in the partnership at the end of the year will be $52,500
