A sole proprietor owned an office building with a cost of $300,000 and accumulated depreciation of $40,000, using modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) straight-line depreciation. In the current year, she sold the building for $320,000. What is the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain from this sale, if any

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The Correct Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

IRC Section 1250 requires that excess depreciation (actual depreciation in excess of straight-line depreciation) be recaptured as ordinary income. Since the property has sold for more than the adjusted basis ($300,000 − $40,000 = $260,000 adjusted basis), the initial gains are recaptured based on the original purchase price of $300,000.

This makes the first $40,000 of the profit subject to the unrecaptured Section 1250 gain while the remaining $20,000 is considered regular long-term capital gains.

​Norwood, Inc. signs a ​, ​%, sixmonth note dated November​ 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be​ ________. (Do not round any intermediate​ calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Answers

Answer:

Norwood Company

Norwood Company signs a​ $11,000, 8.5%,​ six-month note dated November​ 1, 2018. The interest expense recorded for this note in 2018 will be​ ___$156_____. (Do not round any intermediate​ calculations, and round your final answer to the nearest​ dollar.)

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Note Payable = $11,000

Interest rate = 8.5%

Interest expense for a year = 8.5% of $11,000 = $935

Interest expense for 2 months (from November to December) = $935/12 * 2 = $156

b) Interest expense represents the annual expense that must be incurred for the use of resources which the Norwood, Inc. obtained through the signing of the six month note.  Interest on notes are computed based on an annual basis unless otherwise stated.  The 8.5% is per annum.  So, when the interest and principal are being repaid in six month's time, Norwood, Inc. should have accrued interest for six months, which will amount to $467.

A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated can void the contract if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.
a. true
b. false

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

A person who enters into a contract when he or she is intoxicated cannot void the contract even if the terms are obviously favorable to the other party.

By law, an individual can void a contract entered into while under the influence of alcohol or intoxicated, only if he or she doesn't understand or comprehend the legal consequences binding on the parties involved in the contract.

Hence, a contract is legally binding and enforceable even if one of the parties was intoxicated at the time of its formation.

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

a. True.

Explanation:

In determining whether a company's financial condition is improving or deteriorating over time, horizontal analysis of financial statement data would be more useful than vertical analysis.

In Financial accounting, Horizontal analysis can be defined as an analysis and evaluation of a financial statement which illustrates or gives information about changes in the amount of corresponding financial statement items, benchmarks or financial ratio over a specific period of time. It is one of the most important technique that is used to measure how a business is doing financially. Hence, it is also referred to as the trend analysis.

Under the horizontal analysis of financial statement, we use the financial statements of two or more periods; earliest and latter periods.

Generally, the earliest is chosen as the base period while all other items on the statement for a latter period will be compared with the items on the statement of the base period.

Company A was sued by Company B. The management of Company A feels that it is probable that it will have to pay the full amount to Company 8. What is the effect of this contingent event on Company A's accounting equation?
a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.
b. Increase assets and increase stockholders' equity.
c. No effect on the accounting equation.
d. Decrease assets and decrease liabilities.

Answers

Answer: a. Increase liabilities and decrease stockholders' equity.

Explanation:

Contingent Liabilities are obligations that the company may owe if a future event happens such as them being ruled against in a case in court.

Contingent Liabilities are to be recorded in the financial statements only when it is probable that it will happen and that the amount to be paid is reasonably estimable.

Company A's management feels like the loss is probable and that they would have to pay the full amount to company B which means that the loss is both likely and estimable.

Company A should therefore increase their liabilities and debit loss which will come from the Equity thereby reducing it.

For which of the following companies is this event the LEAST material?a. A company with assets totaling $36 billion.b. A company with assets totaling $40 billion.c. A company with assets totaling $15 billion. d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Answers

Answer:

d. A company with assets totaling $50 billion.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the material impact of the lawsuit on each company, we must divide the settlement by total assets. In this case, we do not need to do the math, we simply have to select which company has the most assets. The more assets a company has, the lesser the material impact of any unfavorable settlement.

Answers

Answer:

Allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model = 52.4

Explanation:

Given that:

Simon Corporation manufactures hydraulic valves. The product life of a valve is 4 years.

Target average profit margin for Simon 20.00%

The company does not expect the manufacturing cost to vary over the next 4 years

Estimated sales volume and the unit selling price of the valve for the next 4 years is given below:

Year                  Sales volume (units)                   Unit selling price

Year 1                       40,000                                 $80.00

Year 2                      50,000                                 $75.00

Year 3                     35,000                                   $50.00

Year 4                      25,000                                  $45.00

The objective is to determine the allowable unit cost of a hydraulic valve using the target costing model.

The Cost for each unit selling price can be calculated as:

= unit selling price - (Target average profit margin × unit selling price)

For Year 1

=  $80.00- (0.2 × $80.00)

= $80.00 - $16.00

= $64.00

For Year 2

= $75.00 - ( 0.2 × $75.00)

= $75.00 - ( $15.00)

= $60.00

Year 3

= $50.00 - (0.2× $50.00)

= $50.00 - $10.00

= $40.00

Year 4

= $45.00 - (0.2 × $45.00)

=$45.00 - $9.00

= $36.00

Year       Sales volume    Unit                Cost          Cost per Unit

                (units)             selling price  

Year 1       40,000          $80.00          $64.00       $2560000

Year 2      50,000          $75.00          $60.00       $3000000

Year 3      35,000          $50.00          $40.00        $1400000

Year 4       25,000          $45.00         $36.00        $900000

Total:        150000                                                    $7860000

Allowable unit cost = Total cost/Total number of unit cost

Allowable unit cost = $7860000/150000

Allowable unit cost = 52.4

Generally, partners recognize gain on property contributed to a partnership only when the cash they are deemed to receive from debt relief exceeds their basis in the partnership prior to the deemed distribution. Harry did not have any debt relief.

b) $0.

Partners may never recognize loss when property is contributed to a partnership even when they are relieved of debt.

c) Sally should consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it. By selling the property, she could recognize the $50,000 built-in loss on the equipment.

a. The amount and character of Justin's recognized gain or loss:

Justin has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

b. Justin's remaining basis in his partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

c. The amount and character of Lauren's recognized gain or loss:

Lauren has a recognized gain of $3,000 ($25,000 - $22,000).  The character of Justin's recognized gain or loss must have substantial economic effect.

d. Lauren's basis in the distributed assets is $22,000, which is her outside basis.

e.Lauren's remaining basis in her partnership interest = $1,000 ($2,000/2) in the property distribution to the partnership.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Partner Outside Basis    Partner Distribution

Justin $22,000              $25,000 cash

Lauren 22,000             $18,000 cash + $7,000 in property

Property $2,000 to Partnership

Justin and Lauren's recognized gain or loss is determined by the amount of the sale minus the partner's interest, which is often referred to as the partner's outside basis.

Justin's and Lauren's remaining basis in the partnership is the amount of the fair market value of property remaining after Lauren's share in the property.

A monopoly's cost function is
C = 1.5q^2 + 40 Q
and its the demand for its product is
p = 320-0.5Q
where Q is output, p is price, and C is the total cost of production. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output for a monopoly. The profit maximizing output level is units. (Enter a numeric response using an integer)

Answers

Answer:

70 units

Explanation:

The computation of profit maximizing output level is shown below:-

Monopolist perform Marginal Revenue which equivalent to the Marginal Cost as

MR = Marginal Revenue and MC = Marginal Cost

[tex]MR = \frac{\partial TR}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial PQ}{\partial Q} = \frac{\partial (320-0.5Q)Q}{\partial Q}[/tex]

[tex]MR = \frac{\partial (320Q -0.5Q^2)}{\partial Q}[/tex]

MR = 320 - Q

Now we will find the MC which is

[tex]MC = \frac{\partial TC}{\partial Q} =\frac{\partial (1.5Q^2 + 40Q)}{\partial Q} = 3Q + 40[/tex]

now we will put the value of which is into MR = MC

320 - Q = 3Q + 40  

280 = 4Q

70 = Q

So, the profit maximizing output level is 70 units.

c. $27,665.
d. $35,709.

Answers

Answer:

1. $18620

2. $35709

Explanation:

1.we are required to find incremental loss.

= Defect(market price - price per unit - correction per unit)

Defect product = 900

Market price = 20.8

Price for each defect unit = 4.9

Price for defect correction = 6.1

1900(20.8-4.9-6.1)

= $18600

2. Present value of cash flow =

40500*0.9091 = 36818.55

40500*0.8264 = 33469.2

35500*0.7513 = 26671.15

35500*0.683 = 24246.5

Total = 121209

We subtract cost of new equipment from this value

121209-85500

= $35709

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit. The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912. Determine (a) the break-even point in sales units and (b) the break-even point if the selling price were increased to $107 per unit.

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Radison Enterprises sells a product for $102 per unit.

The variable cost is $58 per unit, while fixed costs are $758,912.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (102 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 17,248 units

Now, the selling price is $107:

Break-even point in units= 758,912 / (107 - 58)

Break-even point in units= 15,488 units

This is because, from the random sample that was done, it shows that the average money held by customers falls within $3550 - $5950 which averages $4750 (Factoring in the standard deviation of $1200). Therefore, it is not considered unusual if an individual had $4000 since it falls within the range of amount held by most depositors and customers of the said bank.

Answers

Answer:

Ignatius Corporation

Basic and Diluted EPS are:

c. $ 2.85 $ 2.67

Explanation:

Data and Calculations:

Common stock outstanding = 7 million shares

Issued 10,000, $1,000 convertible bonds = $10,000,000

Convertible bonds = 10,000 bonds = 500,000 shares (10,000 x 50)

Interest payment = semiannual at 10% per annum

6%, 100,000 Cumulative preferred stock at $100 par = $10,000,000

Preferred dividend = $600,000

Net Income of $20 million

Basic EPS = $20,000,000/7,000,000 = $2.857 per share

Diluted EPS = $20,000,000/7,500,000 = $2.67 per share

To obtain the diluted EPS, the outstanding common stock is increased by the number of potential convertible bonds.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.63 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $74.11 per share. The company announced that it will increase its dividend by 3.75 percent annually. What is the company's cost of equity?

Answers

Answer:

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of DDM we calculate the price of a stock today which is expected to pay a dividend which increases at a constant rate through out. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price under this model is,

P0 = D1 / r - g

Where,

r is the required rate of return or cost of equityg is the constant growth rate in dividends

Plugging in the available values in the formula, we calculate r to be,

74.11 = 4.63 / (r - 0.0375)

74.11 * (r - 0.0375) = 4.63

74.11r - 2.779125 = 4.63

74.11r = 4.63 + 2.779125

r = 7.409125 / 74.11

r = 0.099974 or 9.9974% rounded off to 10.00%

The following information pertains to Hopson Co.'s pension plan: Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation at 1/1/13 $72,000 Assumed discount rate 10% Service costs for 2013 $28,000 Pension benefits paid during 2013 $15,000 If no change in actuarial estimates occurred during 2013, Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2013 was

Answers

Answer:

$92,200

Explanation:

Calculation for Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015

Using this formula

Projected benefit obligation=Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation + Service costs +(Actuarial estimate of projected benefit obligation × Discount rate)- Pension benefit

Let plug in the formula

Projected benefit obligation= $72,000 + $28,000 + ($72,000 × .10) -$15,000

Projected benefit obligation=$72,000 + $28,000 + $7,200-$15,000

Projected benefit obligation= $107,200-$15,000

Projected benefit obligation=$92,200

Therefore Hopson's projected benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 will be $92,200

Assume that the CEO of a company gave you the project charter specifying your authority, among others to work on an initiative providing health services to the community in a certain neighborhood. Before the company embarked on the project, the team analyzed the health sector development program of the country and read through laws the country enacted regarding the health sector. It also did a market survey to solicit information as to who does what. From the analysis, it learned that several companies where engaged in the provision of solar energy. As it did not want to be engaged in providing the same service that others were offering, it started developing solar powered mobile clinic. With an initial outlay of birr 5 Million, the project would last for 7 years. Since the whole work was too huge to consider all at once, the project manager and the team decomposed the project into manageable compartments and then to activities. It also developed schedule, set standards, and anticipated possible bottlenecks along the way. From the analysis it made, it found out that there would be a 20% chance that medical supplies would be delivered late costing the company ETB 350,000. There would also be a 40% chance that the company would save ETB 175,000 in time as it would build the component using already existing templates instead of starting from scratch. Finally, the team would like to make sure that the work would satisfy all of the requirements so that it would get the acceptance of the clients. 1.

Do your shopping behavior and purchase criteria differ between purchases made for yourself and purchases made as gifts? How?

Answers

Explanation:

Yes, as purchasing behavior and purchasing criteria tend to vary according to the reason for the purchase.

The consumer purchase decision process begins by identifying a need, searching for available information about the purchase need found, evaluating the options available for purchase and finally buying decision. And this process varies according to the type of purchase, if it is for yourself, you can consider different benefits and options, when a purchase is made to be a gift, you can have different criteria in relation to the price you want to pay, the preferences and needs of the person who will receive the gift, etc.

Which means that sellers must create different strategies for each purchase situation, in order to positively influence the purchase process for a gift, if that is the case.

Unlike direct materials, the sum of all the direct labor variances is always equal to the flexible budget variance.
A. True
B. False

Answers

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

Unlike direct materials, the sum of all the direct labor variances is always equal to the flexible budget variance. Also, a negative direct labor efficiency variance is considered favorable one. And for a direct labor, if the efficiency and rate variances are both negative, then the flexible budget variance will be unfavorable. Therefore, the statement of the question is true.

What is the expected return if a firm has a payout ratio of 0.4, a return on equity of 25%, and a dividend yield of 15%

Answers

Answer:

The expected return on stock is 30%

Explanation:

Growth rate = Return on Equity * Retention ratio

Growth rate = Return on Equity * (1- Payout ratio)

Growth rate = 25% * (1 - 0.40)

Growth rate = 0.25 * 0.60

Growth rate =  0.15

Growth rate =  15%

Hence, Expected return = Dividend return + Growth rate

Expected return = 15% + 15%

Expected return = 30%

Therefore, the expected return on stock is 30%

Here I Sit Sofas has 5,800 shares of common stock outstanding at a price of $81 per share. There are 630 bonds that mature in 17 years with a coupon rate of 5.5 percent paid semiannually. The bonds have a par value of $1,000 each and sell at 93 percent of par. The company also has 4,700 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $34 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt?

Answers

Answer:

0.4820

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of debt is shown below:

= Debt value ÷ Total capital structure

where,

Debt value is

= 630 bonds × $1,000 × 0.93

= $585,900

And, the total capital structure is

= Debt value + common stock + preferred stock

= $585,900 + 5,800 shares × $81 + 4,700 shares × $34

= $1,215,500

So, the weight of debt is

= $585,900 ÷ $1,215,500

= 0.4820
