Answer: D) The partnership must use the "least aggregate deferral" method to determine its "required" taxable year.
Explanation:
The Least Aggregate Deferral rule is used when neither of the partners can enforce their taxable year on the others because there is no dominant partner as is the case here because no shareholder has more than 50% ownership and the tax years of the partners are not aligned.
The partnership will have to use the "Least Aggregate Deferral" method when the above happens which is based on the percentage of profits for each partner.

From 1990 to 2000, calculate the percentage change in Instructions: Enter your responses rounded to one decimal place. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) in front of those numbers. a. Real GDP. % b. Real consumption. % c. Real government spending
Answer:
Note The full question is attached as picture below
1. Real consumption % change = ((Consumption in 2009 / Consumption in 2007) - 1) * 100
Real consumption % change = ((9847 / 10042) - 1) * 100
Real consumption change % = (0.981 - 1) * 100
Real consumption change% = -1.9%
2. Real investment % = ((Investment in 2009 / 2007) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = ((1898 / 2644) - 1) * 100
Real investment % = (0.718 - 1) * 100
Real investment % = -28.2%
3. Government spending % = ((Government spending 2009 / 2007) - 1)*100
Government spending % = ((3089 / 2914) - 1)*100
Government spending % = (1.06 - 1) * 100
Government spending % = 6%
A company reported the following asset and liability balances at the end of 2015 and 2016:
2015 2016
Assets $150,000 $180,000
Liabilities $70,000 $80,000
If the company paid dividends totaling $5,000, what is the amount of net income for 2016?
A. $20,000.B. $105,000.C. $80,000.D. $25,000.
Answer:
D. $25,000

The equity is the difference between assets and liabilities
Opening equity=$150,000-$70,000
opening equity=$80,000
Ending equity=$180,000-$80,000
ending equity=$100,000
The ending equity formula below can be used to derive the net income for 2016:
ending equity=beginning equity+ net income-dividends
The net income increases the amount of ending equity while dividends decrease it.
net income=unknown
dividends=$5000
$100,000=$80,000+net income-$5000
net income=$100,000-$80,000+$5,000
net income=$25,000

How does the current organizational and operational structure, including the system of corporate governance, benefit the firm
Answer:
The organizational and operational structure of a company must be aligned with the core values and objectives of the business, as it impacts and determines the relationships and culture in the organizational environment.
Therefore, when there is an organizational structure where the hierarchical positions and the decision-making system match the way the company operates in the market, it is correct to say that such organization has a culture that enables its development and the correct progress of the business. Combined with corporate governance, which is a system of inspection, control and incentive to interested parties, the company will benefit from being well structured, positioned and oriented to achieve quality and continuous process improvement.
9. Suppose Betty saves $200 each month in her 401(k) account. How much less will her monthly take-home pay be than if she saved nothing? (Assume a combined 20% state and federal income tax rate.)
Answer:
$160
Explanation:
The way 401(k) savings work is that employees can save from their earnings before tax is deducted, which means that on the $200 saved no tax is deducted, hence, the take of the employee reduces by $200
When there are savings, a tax of 20% would have been deducted from the $200, as a result, the employee would be left with $160($200-($200*20%)), which means that take-home would reduce by $40, the amount tax deducted.
The reduction in take-home=$200-$40
The reduction in take-home=$160

1. Inventory that consists of the costs of the direct and indirect materials that have not yet entered the manufacturing process is known as ________. work in process inventory materials inventory finished goods inventory None of these choices are correct.
Answer:
materials inventory
Explanation:
An inventory is a term used to describe a list of finished goods, goods still in the production line and raw materials that would be used for the manufacturing of more goods in a bid to meet the unending consumer demands.
Basically, an inventory can be classified into three (3) main categories and these are; finished goods, work in progress, and raw materials.
An inventory is recorded as a current asset on the balance sheet because it's primarily the most important source of revenue for a business entity.
Generally, the three (3) main cost concept associated with an inventory include;
1. First In First Out (FIFO).
2. Last In First Out (LIFO).
3. Weighted average cost.
In Financial accounting, direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
Materials inventory can be defined as an inventory that comprises of direct and indirect materials costs which have not been used in a manufacturing process.
Russell Retail Group begins the year with inventory of $62,000 and ends the year with inventory of $52,000. During the year, the company has four purchases for the following amounts.
Purchase on February 17 $217,000
Purchase on May 6 137,000
Purchase on September 8 167,000
Purchase on December 4 417,000
Required:
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = 948000
Explanation:
Inventory at the beginning of the year = $62000
Inventory at the end of the year = $52000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases during the year - ending inventory
Cost of goods sold = $62000 + 217000 + 137000 + 167000 + 417000 - $52000
Cost of goods sold = 948000

An analysis of the income statement revealed that interest expense was $100000. Waterway Company's times interest earned was
Answer: 8.3
Explanation:
The times interest earned is used to estimate the ability of a company to pay its debt payments using income from operations.
It is calculated by the formula:
= Earnings before interest and tax / Interest expense
Earnings before interest and tax:
= Earnings before tax + Interest expense
= 730,000 + 100,000
= $830,000
Times interest earned:
= 830,000 / 100,000
= 8.3
A firm has taxes of $2,000, interest expense of $1,000, EBIT of $7,500, common stock dividends of $1,500, and preferred dividends of $1,200. What is the profit margin if sales are $22,000
Answer:
the profit margin is 15%
Explanation:
The computation of the profit margin is shown below:
= (EBIT - interest - taxes - preferred dividend) ÷ Sales
= ($7,500 - $1,000 - $2,000 - $1,200) ÷ $22,000
= $3,300 ÷ $22,000
= 15%
Hence, the profit margin is 15%

Project 1 requires an original investment of $125,000. The project will yield cash flows of $50,000 per year for 10 years. Project 2 has a computed net present value of $135,000 over an eight-year life. Project 1 could be sold at the end of eight years for a price of $8,000. (a) Using the present value tables in Exhibits 2 and 5, determine the net present value of Project 1 over an eight-year life, with residual value, assuming
Answer: $126,613
Explanation:
Net Present value of Project A is:
= Present value of $50,000 annuity + Present value of residual value - Initial investment
Present value of $50,000 annuity:
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate)^-number of periods) / rate
= 50,000 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 12%) ⁻⁸) / 12%
= $248,382
Present value of residual value:
= 8,000 / ( 1 + 12%)⁸
= $3,231
Net present value
= 248,382 + 3,231 - 125,000
= $126,613

Viviano Corporation issued a new bond, and hired your bank as its underwriter. In an upcoming talk with its CFO, you are expected to explain the effect of market interest rate. An increase in the market rate of interest will have which one of the following effects on this bond?
a. increase the coupon rate
b. decrease the coupon rate
c. increase the market price
d. decrease the market price
e. increase the time period
Answer: d. decrease the market price
Explanation:
Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.
The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.
The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

Rick has met with the Small Business Administration, which analyzed his entrepreneurial skills and provided him with a summary of the results. Out of these findings of the SBA, what might challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur? a) Rick is conscientious and emotionally stable. b) Rick has some tolerance for ambiguity because he knows he is trying to do things that haven't been done before. c) Rick has an external locus of control. d) Rick is comfortable with a moderate level of risk, and he has the confidence to act decisively. e) Rick has a high nec Rick has a high need for autonomy and wants to shape his own destiny
Answer:
c) Rick has an external locus of control.
Explanation:
What can challenge Rick in his quest to become a successful entrepreneur is that he has an external locus of control, which occurs when an individual relates events related to their failures or successes to external variables that are not their responsibility, such as fate, luck or bad luck.
The external locus of control can pose a challenge for Rick in the sense that an entrepreneur's success is related to his own personal control and personal efforts to make the business viable and successful in the market. It is necessary for the entrepreneur to understand that there are risks inherent to the business and that a business can work according to their efforts, learning and planning, that is, the entrepreneur and their control and management actions will be responsible for the success or failure of the business, and not just external factors like fate or bad luck.
On January 1, a machine with a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $15000 was purchased for $115000. What is the depreciation expense for year 2 under straight-line depreciation
Answer:
Annual depreciation (year 2)= $20,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $115,000
Salvage value= $15,000
Useful life= 5 years
To calculate the annual depreciation under the straight-line method, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (115,000 - 15,000) / 5
Annual depreciation= $20,000
