For a sales-type lease:_______
a) the gross profit will be lower if the residual value is unguaranteed
b) the gross profit will be higher if the residual value is guaranteed
c) the present value of the unguaranteed residual value is added
d) to determine the cost of goods sold
Answer:
no option is correct (I assume options C and D were one option only)
Explanation:
On a sales type lease, the gross profit generated by the lease is determined in a similar way that net present value of a project is determined.
You must first calculate the present value of the lease payments that should be received using the company's discount rate, and then subtract the asset's value. If the present value of the future lease payments is higher than the present value of the asset, then you should have a gross profit.
The gross profit is not affected whether the asset has or doesn't have a guaranteed residual value.

Which of the following is an example of the calculation of a predetermined overhead rate? A) Estimated overhead divided by estimated direct labor dollars B) Estimated overhead divided by actual direct labor hours C) Actual units produced divided by estimated overhead D) Estimated direct labor hours divided by estimated overhead
Answer:
A) Estimated overhead divided by estimated direct labor dollars
Explanation:
Predetermined overhead rate is used to apply estimated manufacturing overhead cost to the cost of products or labor for a certain period allocated for reporting. It is usually calculated at the beginning of a certain period and it is also necessary for computing the actual manufacturing overhead cost at the end of the fiscal year.
The predetermined overhead rate can be calculated by dividing the estimated manufacturing overhead by the estimated direct labor dollars or estimated direct labor hours or estimated machine hours for that period. The calculation is based on estimated values, not the actual cost

A Prime Minister differs from a President in which of the following ways? Select all that apply.
A Prime Minister holds power as long as Parliament approves.
A Prime Minister holds office for six years, or until his party holds a vote of "no confidence."
A President is elected every four years, whereas Parliamentary elections are held every five years.
A President is elected by the general public, and a Prime Minister is the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons.
A Prime Minister can be ousted by a vote of "no confidence" by her/his party's parliamentary ministers.
Answer:
The Prime Minister is the head of the Executive branch of the Government in the United Kingdom as well as other Parliamentary or Semi-presidential Government systems.
The President is the head of the Executive branch of the Government in the United States and other Republican states.
The differences between the two especially between the United Kingdom and the United States is;
A President is elected by the general public, and a Prime Minister is the leader of the majority party in the House of Commons.The President is elected directly by the will of the people which in the United States is represented by the Electoral College. The Prime Minister on the other hand is elected if their party and affiliates hold a majority in the House of Commons (Parliament).
A President is elected every four years, whereas Parliamentary elections are held every five years.The Presidential election in the United States is held every 4 years with the next one being this year, 2020. By contrast Parliamentary elections in the UK are held every 5 years but this can be less if the Prime Minister dissolves parliament.
A Prime Minister can be ousted by a vote of "no confidence" by her/his party's parliamentary ministers.
As the Prime Minister is elected by their party's representatives in Parliament, they can also be removed by them. This happens when the members pass a vote of no confidence in the the minister.
In Year 1, Kane's residence had an adjusted basis of $250,000 and it was destroyed by a tornado (in a federally declared disaster area). An appraiser valued the decline in market value at $425,000. Later that same year, Kane received $200,000 from his insurance company for the property loss and did not elect to deduct the casualty loss in an earlier year. Kane's Year 1 adjusted gross income was $100,000. What total amount can Kane deduct as a Year 1 itemized deduction for casualty loss, after applying any limitations?
Answer:
The total amount that Kane can deduct as a Year 1 itemized deduction for casualty loss is $39,900.
Explanation:
According to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Disaster Area Losses in a federally declared disaster refers the occurrence of a disaster in an area that the President has declared to be eligible to enjoy federal assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act.
Since Kane's residence falls into the category of personal-use property or it is not totally destroyed, the amount of loss of the property is the lesser of the adjusted basis of the residence, $250,000, and the decline in market value determined by the appraiser, $425,000. Based on this, the amount of loss of the residence is $250,000.
The total amount that Kane can deduct as a Year 1 itemized deduction for casualty loss can therefore therefore be calculated as follows:
Particulars Amount ($)
Loss amount 250,000
Amount from insurance (200,000)
Loss of the Taxpayer's 50,000
Deduct $100 (100)
Eligible Loss 49,900
Limitation of 10% annual gross income (10,000)
Loss to be deducted 39,900
Therefore, the total amount that Kane can deduct as a Year 1 itemized deduction for casualty loss is $39,900.

You own a house that you rent for $1,400 per month. The maintenance expenses on the house average $260 per month. The house cost $231,000 when you purchased it 4 years ago. A recent appraisal on the house valued it at $253,000. If you sell the house you will incur $20,240 in real estate fees. The annual property taxes are $3,100. You are deciding whether to sell the house or convert it for your own use as a professional office. What value should you place on this house when analyzing the option of using it as a professional office
Answer:
$232,760
Explanation:
you must first determine the market value of your house = appraisal value - sales expenses = $253,000 - $20,240 = $232,760
the market value of the house is your opportunity cost of using the house as an office.
opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost resulting from choosing one investment or activity over another alternative.
The concept "efficiency" has quite different meanings for economists (money out/money in), biologists (energy out/energy in), and political scientists (influence exerted/political capital expended) (Newell, 2001, p. 19). From this statement, we should deduce Group of answer choices It is impossible to integrate insights from economics, biology, and political science because the vocabulary cannot be integrated That as interdisciplinarians we must often bring out common meanings, making them applicable to different texts and contexts. Economists, Biologists, and Political Scientists cannot define words accurately.
Answer:
That as inter-disciplinarians we must often bring out common meanings, making them applicable to different texts and contexts.
Explanation:
To deduce is to reduce the choices of answers. Basically by deducing it means to reach to a common definition of the word efficiency in all the fields, whether it be economists, or biologists or political scientists.
This will ensure easy understanding and easy communication of the term at broader level. This will clearly provide for the better ease in all the fields of work.
As we relate to more than a single branch of knowledge, using a single term with different meaning in different branches turns the situation complex.
Z chooses a life income with 10 year period certain settlement option for the annuity Z owns. Z dies after 15 years of receiving income benefit payments. What does Z's beneficiary receive

A manufacturer of golf clubs makes a profit of $45 per set on a model A set and $55 per set on a model B set. Daily production of the model A clubs is between 20 and 60 sets, inclusive, and that of the model B clubs is between 10 and 40 sets, inclusive. The total daily production is not to exceed 60 sets. How many sets of each model should be manufactured per day to maximize the pr
Answer:
Explanation:
Let n₁ and n₂ be the number of set produced of model A and B per day .
n₁ + n₂ = 60
20 < n₁ < 60
10 < n₂ < 40
Total profit Q = 45 n₁ + 55 n₂ = 45 n₁ + 55 ( 60 - n₁ )
Q = 3300 - 10 n₁
So to maximise total profit n₁ needs to be minimum . The minimum value of n₁ = 20
Q = 3300 - 10 x 20
= $ 3100
So model A should be produced 20 and model B should be produced 40 sets .

Suppose the demand for tacos decreases. What will happen to producer surplus in the market for tacos?
Answer:
it decreases
Explanation:
As a result of the decrease in demand for tacos, the price of tacos would fall, all other things remaining equal.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product. As a result of the fall in price, the producer surplus would decrease.
Assume that price of tacos before the fall in demand is $10
the least price, the seller is willing to sell tacos is $3.
Producer surplus = $10 - $3 = $7
After the fall in demand, price falls to $8
producer surplus becomes = $8 - $3 = $5
We can see that producer surplus fell

Lee Sun's has sales of $3,900, total assets of $3,600, and a profit margin of 5 percent. The firm has a total debt ratio of 41 percent. What is the return on equity?
Answer:
The answer is 9.18 percent.
Explanation:
Return on equity = Net income(profit) / Total equity.
We need to find net profit and equity.
1. To find net income:
Profit margin = profit/sales
So profit = 0.05 x $3,900
= $195
2. To find asset:
Total debt ratio = total debt(liabilities)/ assets
Total debt = 0.41 x $3,600
Total debt(liabilities) = $1,476
Equity = Assets - liabilities
$3,600 - $1,476
= $2,124.
Therefore, return on equity is:
$195 /$2,124
0.0918
Expressed as a percentage
9.18 percent.
