Which government tax incentive retirement account allows a person to contribute after-tax earnings?
a. Contribution matching
b. Roth IRA
c. Traditional IRA
d. 529 plan
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
If you look this question up on your main search engine, it should give you this answer. Let me know if it's wrong.
The tax incentive being provided by government to eligible taxpayers at the time of retirement that allows an individual for contributing after tax income is the Traditional IRA.
Option C is correct.
What is the after tax-income?After tax income is the amount being earned by individual after paying off the taxes on the basis of their filing status. It is determined by deducting tax expense from the amount of gross income.
Traditional IRA is one of the retirement account that permits a person for making contributions of gross revenues or after-tax revenues for investment. If the amount invested is complied with the rules as framed by tax authorities, then it can be considered for tax deductions. This leads to lowering of tax liability to some extent.
Therefore, the traditional IRA is the tax incentive allowing an individual on after tax income.

All of the following are forms of cognitive bias except:_____.
A. Confirmation bias: This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions.
B. Anchoring: This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information.
C. Shifting: This is the bias involved in shifting perspectives too rapidly, thereby forgoing objectivity and sound reasoning.
D. Halo effect: This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related.
E. Overconfidence bias: This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.

A market has four individuals, each considering buying a grill. Assume that grills come in only one size and model. Martina considers herself a grill-master, and finds a grill a necessity, so she is willing to pay $400 for a grill. Javier is a meat-lover, honing his grilling skills, and is willing to pay $350 for a grill. Kamal wants to impress his friends with his vegetable grilling skills and is willing to pay $320 for a grill. Lina loves grilled shrimp and thinks it might be cheaper in the long run if she grills her own shrimp instead of eating out at a restaurant, so she is willing to pay $200 for a grill. If the market price ofgrills increases from $300 to $320, given the scenario described:
a. Collin is the only consumer who would be affected in terms of surplus.
b. Daniel drops out of the market.
c. Collin drops out of the market.
d. Collin loses any surplus he had.
Answer: d. Kamal loses any surplus he had.
Explanation:
The Consumer Surplus is defined as the difference between what a customer is willing to pay for a good minus the price of the good/ the price they pay.
Kamal was willing to pay $320 and the price was initially $300 which meant that he had a surplus of $20. The price has now increased to $320 which is the amount he is willing to pay so there is no longer a surplus. Kamal loses any surplus he had.
Air conditioning for a college dormitory will cost $2.1 million to install and $170,000 per year to operate at current prices. The system should last 19 years. The real cost of capital is 9%, and the college pays no taxes. What is the equivalent annual cost
Answer:
$404,634
Explanation:
the formula that we can use to calculate equivalent annual costs is:
EAC = asset price x {discount rate / [1 - (1 + discount rate)⁻ⁿ]} + annual maintenance costs
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000
EAC = $2,100,000 x {0.09 / [1 - (1.09)⁻¹⁹]} + $170,000 = $234,634 + $170,000 = $404,634
EAC is basically the cost of using an asset during its lifetime. We are determining the cost per year, assuming that they are all equal.
Early in the current year, Amazon Co. purchased the Rio Silver Mine at a cost of $30,000,000. The mine was estimated to contain 400,000 tons of ore and to have a residual value of $7,500,000 after mining operations are completed. During the year, 115,000 tons of ore were removed from the mine. At year-end, the book value of the mine is:
Answer:
$23,531,250
Explanation:
Calculation for the book value of the mine using this formula
Book value =(Cost of purchased-Residual value )/Estimated tons* (Tons of ore-Cost of purchased)
Let plug in the formula
Book value=($30,000,000 - $7,500,000)/400,000
Book value = $56.25
Book value=$56.25*115,000 = $6,468,750;
Book value= $30,000,000 - $6,468,750
Book value= $23,531,250
Therefore the book value of the mine will be $23,531,250

Rodeo, Inc. has a contribution margin ratio of 30%. This month, profit was $12,300 and fixed costs were $15,600. How much was Laredo's sales revenue
Answer:
Sales= $93,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Contribution margin ratio= 0.30
Profit= $12,300
Fixed costs= $15,600
First, we need to determine the total contribution margin:
Total contribution margin= 12,300 + 15,600
Total contribtuion margin= $27,900
Now, to calculate the sales revenue, we need to use the following formula:
Sales= total contribution margin / Contribution margin ratio
Sales= 27,900/0.3
Sales= $93,000
Two methods can be used for producing solar panels for electric power generation. Method 1 will have an initial cost of $550,000, an annual operating cost of $160,000 per year, and $125,000 salvage value after its three-year life. Method 2 will cost $830,000 with an annual operating cost of $120,000. and a $240,000 salvage value after its five-year life. The company has asked you to determine which method is better, but it Wants the analysis done over a three-year planning period. The salvage value of Method 2 will be 35% higher after three years than it is after five years. If the company's minimum attractive rate of return is 10% per year, which method should the company select?
Answer:
the company should choose method 1
Explanation:
Method 1 Method 2
Initial outlay $550,000 $830,000
operating costs (years 1,2,3) $160,000 $120,000
salvage value $125,000 $324,000
we must determine which alternative has the lowest present value:
method 1 = $550,000 + $160,000/1.1 + $160,000/1.1² + $160,000/1.1³ - $125,000/1.1³ = $550,000 + $145,455 + $132,231 + $120,210 - $93,914 = $853,982
method 2 = $830,000 + $120,000/1.1 + $120,000/1.1² + $120,000/1.1³ - $324,000/1.1³ = $830,000 + $109,091 + $99,174 + $90,158 - $243,426 = $884,996

Job 204 = 3,140 hours × $22 = $69,080
Agency conflicts between managers and shareholders
Remember, an agency relationship can degenerate into an agency conflict when an agent acts in a manner that is not in the best interest of his or her principal. In large corporations, these conflicts most frequently involve the enrichment of the firm’s executives or managers (in the form of money and perquisites or power and prestige) at the expense of the company’s shareholders. This usurping and reallocation of shareholder wealth is most likely to occur when shareholders do not have sufficient information about the decisions and actions being made by the firm’s management.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
William and Abigail equally own and manage A New Beginning (ANB), a store that sells preowned clothing and furniture. William is responsible for ANB’s back-office activities, and Abigail staffs the store and makes deliveries to customers. Both have equal decision-making authority and, under the terms of their partnership agreement, both are prohibited from making personal purchases using company funds without prior approval of the other partner. William, without Abigail’s knowledge, used the company’s bank account recently to purchase a new sports car. William has acknowledged that the car will not be used to support the business.
Is this a potential agency conflict between William and Abigail?
No; William and Abigail are both authorized to spend ANB’s money, so no conflict of interest can occur.
No; William and Abigail co-own and co-manage ANB and have a partnership agreement that makes them equal, so an agency conflict cannot exist.
Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
Yes; it should have been Abigail who purchased the car.
Consider the following scenario and determine whether an agency conflict exists:
Five years ago, Caesar created a plant-care business that grew, stocked, and maintained fresh plants in office buildings throughout Raleigh. Over time, The Green Zone Inc. (TGZ) has grown from a proprietorship into a corporation, now reaching far beyond Raleigh. To finance and support this growth, TGZ issued shares that were sold to TGZ employees, Caesar’s family members, and selected outsiders. Caesar is TGZ’s chairman of the board of directors and CEO, but he is no longer the largest shareholder.
At the latest annual meeting, two mutually exclusive proposals were placed on the ballot for discussion and vote. The first was put forth by Caesar and TGZ’s management team, and the second was proposed by a small group of other shareholders. Both groups are adamantly opposed to the other group’s proposal, even though both proposals would likely have the same effect on TGZ’s value and riskiness.
Does an agency conflict exist between TGZ’s management and the small group of opposing shareholders?
No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
No; Caesar was the original owner of TGZ, so he would always be sensitive to the concerns of the firm’s current owners (shareholders) and would not engage in an agency conflict.
Yes; any conflict or disagreement between the firm’s managers and its shareholders constitutes an agency conflict.
Yes; an agency relationship exists, and an agency relationship always gives rise to agency conflicts, regardless of the actual behavior of the participants.
Which of the following actions will help ease agency conflicts and better align managers’ objectives with the firm’s shareholder wealth?
Pay the manager a large base salary with a huge stock option package that matures on a single date.
Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stockholders are mostly individual investors, and there is relatively little institutional ownership. If several pension and mutual funds were to take large positions in Great Fortunes Baking Company’s stock, direct shareholder intervention would be more or less likely to motivate the firm’s management.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Congress passed legislation making it more difficult for outside investors to stage hostile takeovers. This legislation likely reduced or increased conflicts between managers and stockholders.
Answer:
1. Yes; William is misappropriating some of Abigail’s wealth by unilaterally purchasing a nonbusiness asset using ANB’s funds.
William is enriching himself at the expense of Abigail so indeed an Agency conflict exists.
2. No; although an agency relationship exists between TGZ’s management—including Caesar as TGZ’s chairman and CEO and the firm’s shareholders—there is no agency conflict, because no expropriation or wasting of the shareholders’ wealth has occurred.
An agency conflict arises only when the agent begins to act in a way that is not in the best interest of their principal and enriches themselves at the expense of their principal. This has not happened here so there is no agency conflict.
3. Pay the manager a combination of salary and stock options (phased in over several years) that reward him or her for consistently increasing shareholder wealth.
This way the manager will have an incentive to keep working for the benefit of the shareholders overtime because it would make them well off as well.
4. MORE LIKELY
When Institutional ownership is available like Pensions and Mutual funds, they will be able to put more pressure on management as they will typically own a larger share of shares while at the same time having the expertise required to influence management.
5. INCREASED CONFLICT.
One incentive that can be used to keep management in check is the risk of Hostile Takeovers and the new management can decide to fire the management for poor performance or selfish behavior. If Congress reduces the chances of hostile takeovers, management will be more likely to engage in agency conflicts.

Adelberg Corporation makes two products: Product A and Product B. Annual production and sales are 1,500 units of Product A and 1,500 units of Product B. The company has traditionally used direct labor-hours as the basis for applying all manufacturing overhead to products. Product A requires 0.4 direct labor-hours per unit and Product B requires 0.2 direct labor-hours per unit. The total estimated overhead for next period is $87,630. The company is considering switching to an activity-based costing system for the purpose of computing unit product costs for external reports. The new activity-based costing system would have three overhead activity cost pools--Activity 1, Activity 2, and General Factory--with estimated overhead costs and expected activity as follows:
Expected Activity
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Overhead Costs Product A Product B Total
Activity 1 $ 41,400 1,000 500 1,500
Activity 2 15,720 800 400 1,200
General Factory 30,510 600 300 900
Total $ 87,630
(Note: The General Factory activity cost pool's costs are allocated on the basis of direct labor-hours.)
The overhead cost per unit of Product B under the activity-based costing system is closest to:_________
a. $42.90
b. $9.10
c. $21.30

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate for each activity:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 41,400/1,500= $27.6 per unit of activity
Activity 2= 15,720/1,200= $13.1 per unit of activity
General Factory= 30,510/900= $33.9 per direct labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead to product B:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Activity 1= 27.6*500= $13,800
Activity 2= 13.1*400= $5,240
General Factory= 33.9*300= $10,170
Total allocated overhead= $29,210
Unitary allocated overhead= 29,210/1,500= $19.47

D) It should derecognize these receivables if it retains the interest earned on these.
Answer:
C). It should derecognize these receivables.
Explanation:
Derecognition is characterized as the process of removing or derecognizing a financial asset or liability from the company's balance sheet that was previously acknowledged. In the given situation, the appropriate treatment for the Account receivables would be to dercognize it as the organization does not possess any control over them. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
g Phil rented out his home for 12 days and collected $50,000 of rental income. How much should Phil include in his gross income for the 12 rental days
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The rules regarding rental income of your house are simple. You must include all income that you earn from renting your house, condo, etc., if the total rental period for the year is more than 14 days (15 days or more). Since Phil only rented his house for 12 days, then he does not need to include it in his gross income.

Elaine Sweeney went to Ragged Mountain Ski Resort in New Hampshire with a friend. Elaine went snow tubing down a run designed exclusively for snow tubers. There were no Ragged Mountain employees present in the snow-tube area to instruct Elaine on the proper use of a snow tube. On her fourth run down the trail, Elaine crossed over the center line between snow-tube lanes, collided with another snow tuber, and was injured. Elaine filed a negligence action against Ragged Mountain seeking compensation for the injuries that she sustained. Two years earlier, the New Hampshire state legislature had enacted a statute that prohibited a person who participates in the sport of skiing from suing a ski-area operator for injuries caused by the risks inherent in skiing. Using the information to answer the following questions.
a. What defense will Ragged Mountain probably assert?
b. The central question in this case is whether the state statute establishing that skiers assume the risks inherent in the sport bars Elaine's suit. What would your decision be on this issue? Why?
c. Suppose that the court concludes that the statute applies only to skiing and not to snow tubing. Will Elaine's lawsuit be successful? Explain.
d. Now suppose that the jury concludes that Elaine was partly at fault for the accident. Under what theory might her damages be reduced in proportion to the degree to which her actions contributed to the accident and her resulting injuries?
Explanation:
1. Ragged mountains assertion of defense is 'assumption of risk'. In this scenario, Elaine Sweeney exposed herself to risk while snow tubing at the absence of an instructor. snow tube run is solely for snow tubers. ragged mountain can use this defense
2. new hampshire has prohibited people from suing for injuries received due to skiing risks. in a case of this sort, ms Elaine would be assumed to know all possible risks involved. the defendant will be favored since it has been advised that people should not go into sports of these sorts witout good training and an instructor.
3. no Elaine's lawsuit will not be successful if the conclusion of the court is that the statue applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. one should be cautious during snow tubing. she went snow tubing without proper care. it is likely that she may not win the case.
4. the theory is contributory negligence theory. her damages is going to be reduced in proportion with the actions that has brought about her accident. for this reason she is partly responsible.
The Ragged Mountains were established in the year 1997 and were made to the knowledge of the public in the year 1999.
The mountains included a collection of Charlottesville surrounded by the river basin everywhere with almost the oak and yellowwoods.
1. The 'assumption of risk' defense is used by the Ragged Mountains. Elaine Sweeney put herself in danger while snow tubing in the absence of an instructor in this scenario.
The snow tube run is exclusively for tubers. This defense can be used by the ragged mountain.
2. The state of New Hampshire has made it illegal to sue for injuries sustained while skiing. In a situation like this, it's reasonable to assume that Ms. Elaine is aware of all potential dangers.
The defendant will be favored because it has been suggested that people should not participate in sports of this nature without proper training and supervision.
3. No, Elaine's lawsuit will fail if the court decides that the statute only applies to skiing and not to snow tubing. Snow tubing should be approached with caution.
She went snow tubing without taking the necessary precautions. It is very likely that she will lose the case.
4. Contributory negligence theory is the fourth theory. Her damages will be reduced in direct proportion to the actions that caused her accident. As a result, she bears some responsibility.

Mr Store who runs his photocopy business working 8 hours per day process 100 scripts. He estimates his labour cost to be € 9 per hour. Also he has estimated that the total material cost for each script is approximately € 2; while the daily expenses are €28. Calculate the multifactor productivity. In an effort to increase the rate of the photocopy process to 150 scripts, he decides to change the quality of ink thus raising the mate- rial cost to € 2.5 per day. Is the new productivity better than before? If Mr Store would like to increase the photocopy process to 150 scripts without sacrificing the initial multifactor productivity, by what amount has the material costs to be increased?
Answer:
A) 0.33 scripts per euro
B) The new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C) 0.333 euros per script
Explanation:
number of hours worked per day = 8
number of scripts processed per day = 100
Labor cost per hour = 9 euros
Total labor cost per day = 9 * 8 = 72 euros
material cost per script = 2 euros
Total material cost per day = 2 * 100 = 200 euros
daily expenses = 28 euros
A) Calculate the multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = ( 72 + 200 + 28 ) = 300
= 100 / 300
= 0.33 scripts per euro
B ) compare the old and new productivity
Old productivity = 0.33 scripts / euro
new multifactor productivity
= output / Total cost
Total cost = (8*9)+(150*2.5)+28 = 475
= 150 / 475
= 0.3158 scripts per euro
hence the new productivity is worse than the old productivity
C ) using the initial multifactor productivity of 0.333
calculate the target total cost = output / multifactor of productivity
= 150/0.333
= 450 euros
hence Material cost = (450 - 8*9-28)/150
= 2.33 euro per script
So, the material cost will be increased by = 2.33 euros - 2
euros
= 0.333 euros per script

he GDP deflator in year 4 is 120 and the GDP deflator in year 5 is 130. The rate of inflation between years 4 and 5 is
Answer:
8.33%
Explanation:
The GDP deflator in year 4 is 120
The GDP deflator in year 5 is 130
Therefore the rate of inflation between year 4 and year 5 can be calculated as follows
= 130/120
= (1.0833 -1) × 100
= 0.0833 × 100
= 8.33%
Hence the rate of inflation between year 4 and 5 is 8.33%
The rate of return on the common stock of Flowers by Flo is expected to be 14 percent in a boom economy, 8 percent in a normal economy, and only 2 percent in a recessionary economy. The probabilities of these economic states are 20 percent for a boom, 70 percent for a normal economy, and 10 percent for a recession. What is the variance of the returns
Answer:
the variance is 0.001044
Explanation:
The computation of the variance of the returns is shown below:
But before that expected return to be determined
E(r) = Sum of (probabilities × expected return)
= 0.20 × .14 + 0.70 × 0.08 + 0.10 × 0.02
= 0.086
Now
variance = Sum of (individual return - mean return)^2
= 0.20 × (0.14 -0.086)^2 + 0.7 × (0.08 - 0.086)^2 + 0.10 × (0.02 - 0.086)^2
= 0.001044
hence the variance is 0.001044
