Answer: $8,400
Explanation:
Tax liability for a year is computed on the nominal capital gain as of that year not the inflation-adjusted gain. As such, should the asset be sold today, the capital gains tax of 28% will be computed on the capital gain of $30,000 in the following manner;
= 28% * 30,000
= $8,400
The following per unit cost information is available: direct materials $36, direct labor $24, variable manufacturing overhead $18, fixed manufacturing overhead $40, variable selling and administrative expenses $14, and fixed selling and administrative expenses $28. Its desired ROI per unit is $30. Compute its markup percentage using a total-cost approach
Answer:
Mark−up percentage = 18.75%
Explanation:
Total manufacturing cost= Direct material + Direct labor + Variable overhead + Fixed overhead
= $36 + $24 + $18 + $40
= $118
Hence, the total manufacturing cost is $118.
Total selling cost = Fixed selling cost + Variable selling cost
Total selling cost = $28 + $14
Total selling cost = $42
Hence, the total selling cost is $42
Total cost = Total Manufacturing cost + Total selling cost
Total cost = $118 + $42
Total cost = $160
Mark−up percentage = ROI / Total cost * 100
Mark−up percentage = $30 / $160 * 100
Mark−up percentage = 0.1875 * 100
Mark−up percentage = 18.75%
Marsh Corporation purchased a machine on July 1, 2012, for $1,250,000. The machine was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years with an estimated salvage value of $70,000. During 2015, it became apparent that the machine would become uneconomical after December 31, 2019, and that the machine would have no scrap value. Accumulated depreciation on this machine as of December 31, 2014, was $295,000. What should be the charge for depreciation in 2015 under generally accepted accounting principles
Answer:
$191,000
Explanation:
The computation of straight line depreciation is shown below:-
Straight line Depreciation:
= (Book value - Salvage value) ÷ Remaining life
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ (From 2015 to 2019)
= ($1,250,000 - $295,000 - 0) ÷ 5 year
= $191,000
Therefore for computing the straight line depreciation we simply applied the above formula.

Jessica invested her savings in two investment funds. The amount she invested in Fund A was $8000 less than the amount she invested in Fund B. Fund A returned a 2% profit and Fund B returned a 8% profit. How much did she invest in Fund B, if the total profit from the two funds together was $2140
Answer:
23,000
Explanation:
Jessica invested her savings in two investment funds
The amount that she invested in fund A was $8000 than the amount invested in fund B
A + B = -8000.......... equation 1
Fund A returned 2% profit and fund B returned 8% profit
2/100= 0.02 , 8/100= 0.08
0.02A + 0.08B= 2140.............equation 2
From equation 1
A -B= -8000
A= -8000+B
Substitute -8000-B for A in equation 2
0.02(-8000+B) + 0.08B= 2140
-160+0.02B + 0.08B= 2140
-160 + 0.1B= 2140
Collect the like terms
0.1B= 2140+160
0.1B= 2300
B= 2300/0.1
B= 23,000
From equation 1
A-B= -8000
A= -8000+B
Substitute 23,000 for B
A = -8000+23000
A= 15,000
Hence Jessica invested 23,000 in fund B

Suppose you manage a delivery company and you must choose between two transportation methods: (a) truck or (b) train. (a)Trucks: Costs U$ 26,000 upfront. For each mile it runs it costs U$ 2.00 in gas. Maintenance costs U$ 4,000 per year and additional U$ 1.00 per mile run. (b)Train: To lease a container that carries the same volume of orders as the truck it costs U$ 10.000 per year. In addition it costs U$ 4.00 per mile to move orders around. Which method has the lowest cost
Answer:
Which method has the lowest cost: Train.
Explanation:
From the scenario given between using the truck or train for transportation, the option with the lowest cost happens to be by train despite having high cost per mile for moving the goods.
For example, if the goods is to be moved over 1000 miles, it would cost the truck higher than when the train was used.
For Truck:
Cost of Truck: $26,000
Gas: $2 × 1000 = $2000
Extra: $1 × 1000 = $1000
Total: $29,000
For Train:
Cost: $10,000
Mile cost: $4 × 1000 = $4000
Total: $14,000
Therefore, for every 1000 miles covered, it was cheaper to use the train (lease a container carrier in train) than to use the Truck.
Which is most likely a violation of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct? A member firm buys computer time at wholesale prices from another CPA firm and sells it at retail prices to clients.

A property sold for $198,000 with a listing commission of 8%. The selling office is to receive 40% of the total commission. How much will the listing salesperson receive if she is paid 60% of the amount retained by the listing broker?
Answer:
$5,702.4
Explanation:
A property is sold for $198,000 with a listing commission of 8%
The selling office is to receive 40%
The first step is to calculate the total commission
= $198,00×8/100
= $198,000×0.08
= $15,840
Listing brokers commission
=$15,840×60/100
= $15,840×0.6
= 9,504
Therefore, the amount of listing that will be received by the sales person can be calculated as follows
= 9,504×60/100
= 9,504×0.6
= $5,702.4
Hence the salesperson will receive a listing of $5,702.4

Suppose that the central bank must follow a rule that requires it to increase the money supply when the price level falls and decrease the money supply when the price level rises. If the economy starts from long-run equilibrium and aggregate demand shifts right, the central bank must
Answer:
central bank must decrease the money supply, which shifts aggregate demand left
Explanation:
In such a situation as the one being described the central bank must decrease the money supply, which shifts aggregate demand left. This decrease in the money supply will lead to a decrease in consumer spending, thus reducing price levels and real output since there is less capital for spending in the economy, which ultimately causes the aggregate demand to shift to the left. Therefore creating balance in this situation.
If the economy is in long-run equilibrium and aggregate demand shifts right, the central bank must reduce the money supply, causing aggregate demand to shift left.
When the economy is in long-run equilibrium:
In a case like this, the central bank must reduce the money supply, which pushes aggregate demand to the left. Because there is less capital for spending in the economy, a fall in the money supply will lead to a decrease in consumer spending, lowering price levels and real output, causing aggregate demand to shift to the left. As a result, there is a sense of equilibrium in this circumstance.

A company is considering purchasing a machine that costs $280,000 and is estimated to have no salvage value at the end of its 8-year useful life. If the machine is purchased, annual revenues are expected to be $100,000 and annual operating expenses exclusive of depreciation expense are expected to be $38,000. The straight-line method of depreciation would be used. If the machine is purchased, the annual rate of return expected on this machine is:__________.
Answer:
19.29%
Explanation:
We can calculate Annual Rate of Return by using the following formula:
ARR = Net Income / Average Investment
Here
Net Income $27,000 Step1
Average Investment $140,000 Step2
By putting values, we have:
ARR = $27,000 / $140,000 = 19.29%
Step1: Net Income
Net Income = Annual Revenue - Depreciation - Operating Expenses
Here
Annual Revenue = $100,000 - $280,000/8 - $38,000
= $100,000 - $35,000 - $38,000
= $27,000
Step2: Average Investment
Average Investment = (Initial Investment + Scrap Value)/ 2
Average Investment = ($280,000 + 0)/2 = $140,000
The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells a trail mix for $5 per pound and premium cashews for $15 per pound. The manager wishes to make a 75-pound mixture of both that will sell for $13 per pound. How many pounds of each should be used
Answer:
15 pounds of trail mix60 pounds of premium cashewsExplanation;
75 pounds of the mixture should be made so assuming the trail mix is x and the premium cashew is y, the following expression is formed;
x + y = 75
The selling price per pound is $13 so in total, sales should be;
= 75 * 13
= $975
5x + 15y = 975
Substitution can then be used;
x + y = 75
y = 75 - x
Then;
5x + 15y = 975
5x + 15 ( 75 - x ) = 975
5x + 1,125 - 15x = 975
-10x = -150
x = 15
y = 75 - 15
= 60
15 pounds of trail mix
60 pounds of premium cashews

Hawkins Poultry Farms is considering the purchase of feeding equipment that costs $139,000 and will produce annual cash flows of approximately $36,000 for five years. The equipment is expected to be sold at the end of five years for $40,000.
What is the net present value of the proposed investment? Hawkins requires a 15 percent return on all capital investments
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-139,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $36,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $36,000 + $40,000 = $76,000.
i = 15%
NPV = $1,564.65
To find the NPV using a financial calculator:
