If a fixed asset, such as a computer, were purchased on January 1st for $3,750 with an estimated life of 3 years and a salvage or residual value of $150, the journal entry for monthly expense under straight-line depreciation is: (Note: EOM indicates the last day of each month.)
Answer:
EOM depreciation expense $100
accumulated depreciation $100
Explanation:
Depreciation is a method used in expensing the cost of an asset.
Yearly Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($3750 - $150) / 3 = $1200
Monthly depreciation = yearly depreciation / 12
1200 /12 = 100
Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense
On January 1, 2018, Ameen Company purchased major pieces of manufacturing equipment for a total of $36 million. Ameen uses straight-line depreciation for financial statement reporting and MACRS for income tax reporting. At December 31, 2020, the book value of the equipment was $30 million and its tax basis was $20 million. At December 31, 2021, the book value of the equipment was $28 million and its tax basis was $12 million. There were no other temporary differences and no permanent differences. Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $50 million.

Cr To Income taxes payable $11.00
Cr To Deferred tax liability $1.50
2.$37.50 million
Explanation:
1. Preparation of the appropriate journal entry to record Ameenâs 2021 income taxes. Assume an income tax rate of 25%.
Depreciation as per books for 2021 = $30 - $28 Depreciation as per books for 2021= $2 million
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $20 - $12
Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $8 million
Taxable income = $50 + $2 - $8
Taxable income = $44 million
JOURNAL ENTRIES - Ameen Company (In million)
31-Dec-21
Dr Income tax expense $12.50
Cr To Income taxes payable ($44*25%) $11.00
Cr To Deferred tax liability ($6*25%) $1.50
(To record income tax expense)
2. Calculation to determine What is Ameenâs 2021 net income?
Ameen's 2021 net income = $50 - $12.50
Ameen's 2021 net income = $37.50 million
Therefore Ameen's 2021 net income is $37.50 million
The pre-tax accounting income is $44 million and the income tax payable amount is $11 million.
What do you mean by Pre-tax accounting income?Pre-tax revenue is the company's income left over after all operating costs, including interest and depreciation, have been deducted from sales or income, but before deducted income tax.
Pre-tax profits provide insight into the financial performance of a company prior to tax impact.
Calculation of taxable income for 2021:
a)
[tex]\rm\,Taxable \,Income = \\Pre-Tax \; Accounting \; Income + (Excess \;of Book Depreciation \;over \; tax \; depreciation)\\\\\rm\,Taxable \,Income = 50 + (2 - 8)\\\\\rm\,Taxable \,Income = \$44 \;Million\\\\Income\,tax\, Payable = 44 \times 25\%\\\\Income\,tax\, Payable = \$11 Million[/tex]
Journal entry to record Ameena's 2021 income taxes is attached below.
b) Ameena's net income will be :
[tex]\rm\,Ameen's \; 2021 \;net \; income = \$50 - \$12.50\\\Ameen's \; 2021 \;net \; income = $37.50 \rm\,million[/tex]

The Fisher Effect equation can be used to determine the real interest rate. Use this equation to determine the answer to the question. If the nominal interest rate is 0.1100.110 , and the inflation rate is 0.0250.025 , what is the real interest rate
Answer:
0.075%
Explanation:
Interest rate is the rate earned on deposits or the rate charged on loans.
Interest rate could be real or nominal
Nominal interest rate is real interest rate plus inflation rate
Real interest rate is interest rate that has been adjusted for inflation
Fisher effect equation : ( 1 + nominal interest rate) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + inflation rate)
(1 + 0.001) = (1 + real interest rate) x (1 + 0.00025)
1.001 = (1 + real interest rate) x (1.00025)
1.001 / (1.00025) = (1 + real interest rate)
1.00075 = (1 + real interest rate)
real interest rate = 1.00075 - 1
= 0.00075 = 0.075%
An owner can lease her building for $160,000 per year for three years. The explicit cost of maintaining the building is $55,000, and the implicit cost is $70,000. All revenues are received, and costs borne, at the end of each year. If the interest rate is 5 percent, determine the present value of the stream of:_______.
a. Accounting profits.
b. Economic profits.
Answer:
a. Accounting profits.
Account profit = Revenue - explicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000
= $105,000
Present value of $105,000 per year for 3 years is:
= 105,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 105,000 * 2.7232
= $285,936
b. Economic profit
Economic profit = Revenue - explicit cost - implicit cost
= 160,000 - 55,000 - 70,000
= $35,000
Present value of $35,000 per year for 3 years:
= 35,000 * Present value interest factor of an Annuity, 3 years, 5%
= 35,000 * 2.7232
= $95,312
Note: The profits were treated as annuities as they were constant.

December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
a. $51.75
b. $94.00
c. $50.75
d. $83.22
e. $41.30
Answer:
COGS= $297
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
December 2: 5 units were purchased at $7 per unit.
December 9: 10 units were purchased at $9.40 per unit.
December 11: 12 units were sold at $35 per unit.
December 15: 20 units were purchased at $10.15 per unit.
December 22: 18 units were sold at $35 per unit.
First, we need to calculate the number of units sold:
Number of units sold= 12 + 18= 30
Now, under the LIFO (last-in, first-out) method, the cost of goods sold is calculated using the cost of the lasts units incorporated into inventory:
COGS= 20*10.15 + 10*9.4
COGS= $297
Supply is more elastic over long periods than over short periods because:_____.
a. producers can make more adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
b. consumers can make fewer adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
c. producers can make fewer adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
d. consumers can make more adjustments in the long run than in the short run.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.
Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
The short run is a period where all factors of production are fixed. In the short run, a firm would continue to produce if price is above average variable cost. If this is not the case, it would shut down
The long run is a period where all factors of production are varied. It is known as the planning time for a company
Supply is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because the producer can make adjustments in the long run

Two leading home appliance companies, Globex Inc. and Pug Tech, are in competition for market share. In their quest for exciting new products, Globex employs an open innovation model, while Pug Tech pursues a closed innovation model. Which of the following statements is most likely true?
a. Globex has a greater chance of capturing market share.
b. Pug Tech has a superior absorptive capacity.
c. Pug Tech will protect its intellectual property with patents and trade secrets.
d. Globex is most concerned with securing first-mover advantages.
Answer: c. Pug Tech will protect its intellectual property with patents and trade secrets.
Explanation:
A closed innovation model means that the company develops the product internally instead of through collaboration with external sources.
Pug Tech will therefore produce new products internally. As a result, they will be able to protect these products from being copied by others through patents and trade secrets because the law will recognize that they have exclusive rights to the new technology seeing as they came up with it.
