Answer: c) $220
Explanation:
Capital Gains from assets that were held for less than a year attract the same tax rate that a person would pay based on their federal tax brackets.
As Lauren held the stock for only 8 months before she sold it and as her marginal tax rate is 22%, she is to pay a 22% tax on the capital gain;
= 22% * 1,000
= $220
A worker sets up to begin a painting job. He lays down a drop cloth and makes sure that the floor is even so that the ladder is stable. The worker also makes sure that the area around his painting zone is free of clutter or objects lying on the ground. He then stands with both feet on the top step of the ladder and starts to paint. What does the worker do incorrectly?
Answer:
You should never use the top of a ladder as a step. The employer should correct the worker’s behavior and ensure he knows the proper way to use a ladder.
Explanation:
He is standing at the top. He is not suppose to and OSHA does not approve this.
g Our company reported the following financial numbers for one of its divisions for the year; average total assets of $5,800,000; sales of $5,375,000; cost of goods sold of $3,225,000; and operating expenses of $1,147,000. Assume a target income of 15% of average invested assets. Compute residual income for the division:
Answer:
Residual income = $133,000
Explanation:
Sales $5,375,000
Less: COGS $3,225,000
Gross profit $2,150,000
Less: Operating expense $1,147,000
Net income $1,003,000
Residual income = Net income - (Average operating assets * return)
Residual income = $1,003,000 - (5,800,000 * 15%)
Residual income = $1,003,000 - $870,000
Residual income = $133,000

On February 1, 2014, Nelson Corporation purchased a parcel of land as a factory site for $280,000. An old building on the property was demolished, and construction began on a new building which was completed on November 1, 2014. Costs incurred during this period are listed below:
Demolition of old building $20,000
Architect's fees 35,000
Legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract 5,000
Construction costs 1,340,000
(Salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold for $10,000.)
Nelson should record the cost of the land and new building, respectively, as:_________.
a. $305,000 and $1,365,000.
b. $290,000 and $1,380,000.
c. $290,000 and $1,375,000.
d. $295,000 and $1,375,000.
Answer:
d. The cost of land and building is $295,000 and $1,375,000 respectively
Explanation:
Cost of land = Purchase price + Price for demolishing old building + Legal fee on purchase contract & investigation - Salvage value of demolished material
Cost of land = $280,000 + $20,000 + $5,000 - $10,000
Cost of land = $305,000−$10,000
Cost of land = $295,000
Cost of building = Construction cost + Architect′ s fee
= $1,340,000 + $35,000
= $1,375,000

able to purchase a machine to process the dough more efficiently which will increase fixed costs by $500 each month. This will reduce variable costs by $.50 per pizza. What number of pizzas must be sold to maintain the monthly profit of $20,000.
Answer:
Number of pizzas = 6,778 units
Explanation:
The computation of the number of pizzas to be sold for maintaining the monthly profit is shown below:
= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Fixed expenses = $10,000 + $500 = $10,500
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $10 - ($6 - $0.50)
= $4.50
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the number of pizzas would equal to
= ($10,500 + $20,000) ÷ ($4.50)
= 6,778 units
Mark Weinstein has been working on an advanced technology in laser eye surgery. His technology will be available in the near term. He anticipates his first annual cash flow from the technology to be $180,000, received two years from today. Subsequent annual cash flows will grow at 4 percent in perpetuity. What is the value today of the technology if the discount rate is 11 percent
Answer:
the present value for today is $2,316,602
Explanation:
The computation of the technology value today is shown below:
Present value of the technology is
= (First annual cash flow arisen from the technology) ÷ ( discount rate - growth rate) ÷ (1 + discount rate)
= ($180,000) ÷ (11% - 4%) ÷ (1 + 0.11)
= $2,316,602
Hence, the present value for today is $2,316,602
The following data relate to labor cost for production of 22,000 cellular telephones:
Actual: 4,220 hrs. at $44.50
Standard: 4,160 hrs. at $46.00
Required:
Determine the direct labor rate variance, direct labor time variance, and total direct labor cost variance.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 22,000 units
Actual: 4,220 hrs. at $44.50
Standard: 4,160 hrs. at $46.00
To calculate the direct labor time and rate variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (4,160 - 4,220)*46
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $2,760 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (46 - 44.5)*4,220
Direct labor rate variance= $6,330 favorable
Total variance= 6,330 - 2,760
Total variance= $3,570 favorable

Question
Part P40 is a part used in the production of air conditioners at Jackson Corporation. The following costs and data relate to the production of Part P40:
Number of parts produced annually 26,000
Fixed cost $43,000
Variable cost 70,000
Total cost to produce 113,000
Jackson Corporation can purchase the part from an outside supplier for $4.62 per unit. If they purchase from the outside supplier, 50% of the fixed costs would be avoided. If Jackson Corporation makes the part, how much will its operating income be?
Answer:
Change in operating income= $28,620
Explanation:
$
Total variable cost of making 70,000
Total cost of external purchase ($4.62×26,000) 120,120
Extra variable cost from external purchase 50,120
less Savings in fixed overheads(50%×43,000) ( 21,500)
Change in operating income 28,620
Note that the the balance of the fixed cost (50% of $43,000= 21500) were not included because they not relevant for the decision. They would be incurred either way.
Change in operating income= $28,620
At her current level of consumption, Jess gets half as much marginal utility from an additional bagel as from an additional muffin. If the price of muffin is $2 each, then Jess is maximizing her utility if the price of a bagel is:
Answer:
$1
Explanation:
Utility is the satisfaction a person derives from consumption of a product.
Consumers seek to maximise utility when they have choices between products.
They choose products that gives them most satisfaction.
In this scenario gets 0.5 unit satisfaction from consuming a bagel to 1 unit of satisfaction from consuming muffins.
She will maximise utility in bagels when she pays a price that will give her satisfaction of consuming one muffin.
Therefore
0.5 utility on bagel = x
1 utility on muffin = $2
Cross multiply
x = ( 2 * 0.5) ÷ 1
x = $1
So Jess gets same satisfaction from 2 bagels as she gets from $2 of muffin
The following is a summary of information presented on the financial statements of a company on December 31, 2019. Account 2019 2018 Net Sales Revenue Cost of Goods Sold Gross Profit Selling Expenses Net Income Before Income Tax Expense Income Tax Expense Net Income With respect to net income, a horizontal analysis reveals ________. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer:
Increase in net income of 145.45%
Explanation:
Calculation for what the horizontal analysis reveals with respect to net income
Since we have $54,000 in 2019 and $22,000 in 2018 this means that we are going to calculate for what the Horizontal analysis reveal using this formula
Horizontal analysis = Net income 2019 -Net income 2018/Net income 2018
Let plug in the formula
Horizontal analysis=$54,000-$22,000/$22,000
Horizontal analysis =$32,000/$22,000
Horizontal analysis =1.4545×100
Horizontal analysis =145.45% Increase
Therefore what the horizontal analysis reveals with respect to net income will be an Increase in net income of 145.45%
In the short run, an increase in the aggregate price level caused by a shift in the aggregate demand curve first causes:
Answer: b. movement along SRAS
Explanation:
When the price level changes due to an increase in the demand that forces the Aggregate demand curve to shift rightward, the immediate effect would be that the Aggregate demand curve would intersect the Short Run Aggregate supply at a new point.
This new point will see a movement along the SRAS from its previous equilibrium point to the new equilibrium intersection point with the AD curve. In other words, the new point will be on the same SRAS curve just moving from one point to another.
If a company has excess capacity, increases in production level will increase variable production costs but not fixed production costs.
a. True
b. False
Answer; True
Explanation;
When a company has excess capacity, it means that potentially it could produce more than it is producing at the moment. As this potential already takes into account the fixed costs, this means that given the fixed costs it currently has, more goods could be produced on those same fixed costs and they wouldn't increase.
Increasing production level would therefore only increase variable costs which rise whenever production rises as they are directly related to the production of goods.
"A customer sells short 200 shares of ABC stock in a margin account. ABC declares a 5% stock dividend. How many shares must be purchased to close out the short position?"
Answer:
210 shares
Explanation:
A customer sells 200 shares of ABC stock in a margin account
ABC declares a 5% stock dividend
=5/100
= 0.05
Therefore, the amount of shares that must be purchased inorder to close out the short position can be calculated as follows
= 200×0.05
= 10
10+200 shares
= 210 shares
Hence 210 shares must be purchased to close out the short position
If a consumer purchases a combination of coffee and football tickets such that Coffee/Coffee = 20 and MU Football tickets/PFootball tickets = 10, to maximize utility, the consumer should by:_________
a. more coffee and more football tickets
b. less coffee and more football tickets
c. less coffee and fewer football tickets
d. more coffee and fewer football tickets
Answer: d. more coffee and fewer football tickets
Explanation:
MU/P refers to the marginal utility gained per dollar of an alternative and rationale consumers are always expected to maximise their utility by picking alternatives that give them more utility as opposed to less.
The MU/P for coffee is 20 whilst that of football tickets in 10. This means that more utility is gained from getting more coffee as opposed to football tickets. The action that would maximise utility would therefore be one where the consumer gets more coffee and fewer football tickets.
Discuss this statement: "Internationalization is a relevant strategic option for high-tech venture expansion and growth." What makes this statement true? What facts support this statement?
Answer:
When a firm decides to situate its operations outside of its original geographic boundaries, it is said to have internationalized its operations.
It is right to acquiesce to the position that Internationalization can become a critical growth strategy for a high-tech venture.
Explanation:
Every country/economy in the world operates at different levels of efficiency with various degrees of economic advantages and disadvantages to the businesses. The one singular factor that validates this statement is the Cost of Doing Business.
For example,
by virtue of China's huge population and economic strategies, its low cost of production (which was mainly due to cheap labour) became a great incentive to many tech companies all over the world especially IT.
By relocating production operations to China, many companies got the same quality for far less than they would have if they retained such operations in their home country.
One example of this is Apple. Apple currently has an operation in China which manufactures its iPhones with a production plant that is 230,000 staff strong.
Foxconn which is the name of the manufacturing partner which China uses boasts of the ability to produce half a million iPhones in a day.
On the 30th of July, 2020, USD 59.7 billion was posted by Apply as its earning. This is an 11% growth over its quarterly performance from a year ago of which 60% is accounted for by sales from international economies.
The above facts speak to the relevance/advantages of internationalisation.
Cheers!
