Answer:
Double taxation.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
There are three (3) types of taxation used by the government, these are;
1. Progressive taxation: it involves charging individuals having higher incomes a higher percentage of their total income.
- For instance, John pays 30% on $70,000 and Joyce pays 10% on $45.000.
2. Proportional taxation: it involves charging both lower and higher income earners equally in proportion to their income.
- For instance, John pays 20% on $50,000 and Joyce pays 20% on $36,000.
3. Regressive taxation: it involves charging individuals with low incomes a higher percentage of their total income and vice-versa.
- For instance, John pays 15% on $60,000 and Joyce pays 20% on $36,000.
In this scenario, a corporation's earnings are taxed as corporate earnings and as dividends to the stockholders. This is known as double taxation.
Double taxation can be defined as a phenomenon in which an individual or business entity pays income tax twice on the same income source such as corporate earnings and as dividends to their stockholders.

A firm sets up a factory to manufacture TV sets, and this model is expected to be in the market for 10 years and its machinery will be used for this period. Every year it manufactures 12000 TV sets, the component costs are $60 per set; hourly labor costs are $10 a set; CEO salary and other overheads are $200000 a year. The firm also buys manufacturing machinery for $400000. Considering its production of 12000 TV sets every year, what should the price of the TV set be, if the firm makes no profit or loss every year.
Answer:
$90
Explanation:
No of TV set in 10 years = 12000*10 years = 120,000 TV sets
Total component cost = 120,000*$60 = $7,200,000
Total labor cost = 120,000 * $10 = $1,200,000
Total cost of CEO Salary & Overheads = $200,000 * 10 = $2,000,000
Cost of machinery = $400,000
Total cost = $7,200,000 + $1,200,000 + $2,000,000 + $400,000
Total cost = $108,000,000
Cost per unit = $108,000,000/120,000
Cost per unit = $90
So, for a no profit-no loss scenario, the selling price should be $90

Jubilee, Inc., owns 35 percent of JPW Company and applies the equity method. During the current year, Jubilee buys inventory costing $60,000 and then sells it to JPW for $75,000. At the end of the year, JPW still holds only $30,000 of merchandise, What amount of gross profit must Jubilee defer in reporting this investment using the equity method
Answer:
The amount of gross profit which Jubilee must defer in reporting this investment is equal to $2,100.
Explanation:
This can be calculated as follows:
Gross profit on sale = Sales - Cost of sales = $75,000 - $60,000 = $15,000
Gross profit margin = Gross profit on sale / Sales = $15,000 / $75,000 = 0.20, or 20%
Gross margin on ending inventory = Ending inventory * Gross profit margin = $30,000 * 20% = $6,000
Share of gross profit of Jubilee, Inc. in ending inventory = Gross margin on ending inventory * Share of Jubilee, Inc. in JPW Company = $6,000 * 35% = $2,100
Therefore, the amount of gross profit which Jubilee must defer in reporting this investment is equal to its share of gross profit in ending inventory which is $2,100.
90-day forward rate for the euro is $1.07, while the current spot rate of the euro is $1.05. What is the annualized forward premium or
Answer:
7.6%
Explanation:
Calculation for What is the annualized forward premium or discount of the euro

"Based on historical figures, how much would you LOSE by putting your money in a savings account compared to investing in the stock market? "
Answer:
4.5% annual interest.
Explanation:
Assuming that we are talking about a specific Savings Account then we can say that the average APY on a savings account such as HSBC savings is 2.5% per year. On the other hand, the stock market has an average APY of 7% annually. Therefore, in order to find how much you would lose by putting your money in a savings account, we would need to subtract the savings account APY from the stock market APY.
7% - 2.5% = 4.5%
We can see that what you would lose in opportunity cost is 4.5% annual interest.

You want to construct a portfolio containing equal amounts of U.S. Treasury bills and two stocks. If the beta of the first stock is 1.23 and the beta of the portfolio is 1.0, what does the beta of the second stock have to be
Answer:
the beta of the second stock is 1.77
Explanation:
The beta of the second stock is shown below;
Investment in each = (1 ÷ 3)
Now as we know that
Portfolio beta = Respective investments × Respective weights
1 = (1 ÷ 3 × 1.23) + (1 ÷ 3 × beta of the second stock) + (1 ÷ 3 × 0)
We assume the Beta of risk-free assets would be zero
1 = 0.41 + (1 ÷ 3 × beta of the second stock)
The beta of the second stock is
= (1 - 0.41) × 3
= 1.77
Hence, the beta of the second stock is 1.77
4. If you deposit $3,000 at the end of each of the next 20 years into an account paying 10.5% interest, how much money will you have in the account in 20 years
Answer:
$24498.5
Explanation:
A = Pe^rt ..... 1
Where :
A is the future value
P is the principal
r is the interest rate
t is the time
Given
P = $3,000
r = 10.5% = 0.105
time = 20years
Substitute the above values into equation 1
A = Pe^rt
A = $3,000e^0.105×20
A = 3000e^2.1
A = $24498.5097
A = $24498.5
At the end of the 20th year, he must have accumulated the sum of $24498.5

5. Briefly explain why when the marginal cost of an activity increases as one does more of it and why the marginal benefit of an activity decreases the more one engages in it.
Answer:
The law of decreasing marginal utility states that the actual utility obtained from carrying out some specific activity decreases as you perform that activity more often. E.g. you are very thirsty and decide to drink a glass of Coke. The first glass will yield a very high number of utils. If you are still thirsty, you might drink a second glass, but this time the second glass will yield a lower amount of utils. If you keep drinking more Coke, eventually you will be full and will not even enjoy drinking it.
The opposite happens with the marginal cost of carrying out an activity. For example, you like to bike outdoors. Biking outdoors one day per week will cost you X amount (including actual costs of biking plus opportunity costs). But if you decide to do it 2 times per week, your opportunity costs will increase. If you decide to do it 3 or more times per week, you better be good enough to become a professional or have a very tolerant boss. Opportunity costs of biking outdoors more days per week will keep increasing.

Oriole Corporation acquired two inventory items at a lump-sum cost of $123000. The acquisition included 3090 units of product LF, and 6180 units of product 1B. LF normally sells for $30 per unit, and 1B for $10 per unit. If Oriole sells 1030 units of LF, what amount of gross profit should it recognize?
Answer:
$6,304
Explanation:
Calculation for what amount of gross profit should it recognize
First step is to calculate the total value sales
Total value sales
3090 units* $30 per=92,700
6180 units *$10 per unit=61,800
Total value sales=154,500
Second step is to calculate the cost per unit
Cost per unit=(92,700/154,500)*$123000/3090
Cost per unit=0.6*123,000/3090
Cost per unit=73,800/3090
Cost per unit=23.88
Now let calculate gross profit using this formula
Gross profit=Sales -Cost
Let plug in the formula
Gross profit=1,030*(30-23.88)
Gross profit=1,030*6.12
Gross profit=$6,304
Therefore the amount of gross profit that should it recognize is $6,304
