Core Corporation reported current earnings and profits of $250,000. Core distributed a building with an adjusted basis of $170,000 and a fair market value of $230,000 to its sole shareholder. The building had a mortgage of $90,000, which the shareholder will assume. What is the amount of the dividend received by the shareholder?
A. $80,000.
B. $140,000.
C. $230,000.
D. $250,000.
Answer:
B. $140,000
Explanation:
The total cost of acquiring an asset, including the installation, commission, transportation and other relevant fees is known as adjusted basis. The fair market value is the value an asset would yield when sold. It is an amount that would be received in return when an asset is sold.
Therefore, the shareholders would receive dividend at the fair market value adjusted for the mortgage balance
= $230,000 - $90,000
= $140,000
Logan, a 50% shareholder in Military Gear Incorporated (MG), is comparing the tax consequences of losses from C corporations with losses from S corporations. Assume MG has a $116,000 tax loss for the year, Logan's tax basis in his MG stock was $158,000 at the beginning of the year, and he received $83,000 ordinary income from other sources during the year. Assuming Logan's marginal tax rate is 24 percent, how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation?
Answer:
$13,920
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation
First step is to calculate what Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation
Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation =($83,000*24%)
Logan's pay, if MG is a C corporation = $19,920
Second step is to calculate Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation
Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation =[($83,000-$58,000)*24%]
($116,000*50% = $58,000)
Logan's pay, if MG is a S Corporation=$6,000
Now let calculate how much more tax will Logan pay currently
Logan pay currently = ($19,920-$6,000)
Logan pay currently = $13,920
Therefore how much more tax will Logan pay currently if MG is a C corporation compared to the tax he would pay if it were an S corporation will be $13,920

Costs assigned to completed units 29,000 $493,000
Units Still in Process 3,330 $36,630
Total 32,330 $529,630
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
Materials
To Finish Work in Process 0
Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%) 29,000
Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%) 3,330
Equivalent units of Production in Materials 32,330
Conversion Costs
To Finish Work in Process 0
Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%) 29,000
Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%) 1,332
Equivalent units of Production in Materials 30,332
Step 2 : Costs assigned to completed units and units still in process
Costs assigned to completed units = Units Completed x total units cost
= 29,000 x $17
= $493,000
Units Still in Process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs
= 3,330 x $7 + 1,332 x $10
= $36,630
Accounts Randall Company estimates its bad debts expense by aging its accounts receivable and applying percentages to various age groups of the accounts. Randall calculated a total of $3,000 in possible credit losses as of December 31. Accounts Receivable has a balance of $128,000, and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts has a credit balance of $500 before adjustment at December 31. What is the December 31 adjusting entry to provide for credit losses
Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry will be:
Debit: Bad debt expense $2500
Credit: Allowance for doubtful $2500
Then, we will calculate the net amount of account receivable that should be included in current assets which will be:
Account receivable = $128000
Less: Allowance for doubtful = $500 + $2500 = $3000
Net amount of account receivable = $125000

The company uses a job-order costing system and applies manufacturing overhead cost to jobs on the basis of direct labor-hours. Its predetermined overhead rate was based on a cost formula that estimated $378,000 of manufacturing overhead for an estimated allocation base of 900 direct labor-hours. The following transactions took place during the year (all purchases and services were acquired on account): a. Raw materials purchased for use in production, $285,000. b. Raw materials requisitioned for use in production (all direct materials), $270,000. c. Utility bills were incurred, $76,000 (85% related to factory operations, and the remainder related to selling and administrative activities). d. Salary and wage costs were incurred:
Answer:
journal entries:
raw materials 285,000 debit
Account Payable 285,000 credit
--to record purchase of materials--
Work in Process Inventory 270,000 debit
Raw Materials 270,000 credit
--to record use of direct materials--
Factory overhead 64,600 debit
Utilities Expense 11,400 debit
Utilities Payable 76,000 credit
--to record incurred utilities in plant and non-manufacturing departments--
Explanation:
We record the journal entries considering that debit = credit
(a) as the business didn't pay cash we use account payable account
(b) we transfer the used amount of materials into WIP inventory
(c) we calculate the proportional use for factory and non-manufacturing departments
76,000 x 85% = 64,600
76,000 x 15% = 11,400
Bodin Company budgets on an annual basis. The following beginning and ending inventory levels (in units) are plannned for the year 20x1. Five units of raw material are required to produce each unit of finished product. January 1 December 31 Raw material 42,000 49,000 Work in process 19,000 19,000 Finished goods 92,000 75,000 Required: 1. If Bodin Company plans to sell 476,000 units during the year, compute the number of units the firm would have to manufacture during the year. 2. If 508,000 finished units were to be manufactured by Bodin Company during the year, determine the amount of raw material to be purchased.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. The number of units to be manufactured during the year is
= Selling units + ending finished goods - opening finished goods
= 476,000 units + 75,000 units - 92,000 units
= 459,000 units
2. The raw material purchased amount is
= (508,000 × 5) + 49,000 - 42,000
= $2,547,000

For each of the following situations, state whether total revenue received by the seller increases, decreases, or does not change.
a. If price elasticity of demand is -1.00 and price increases, total revenue.
b. If price elasticity of demand is -0.02 and price increases, total revenue
c. If price elasticity of demand is 5.00 and price increases, total revenue
d. If price elasticity of demand is-0.131 and price decreases, total revenue
e. If price elasticity of demand is -3.33 and price decreases, total revenue
Answer:
doesn't change
increases
decreases
decreases
increase
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
a. Demand is unit elastic and if price increases, quantity demanded would change by the same amount and total revenue would remain the same
b. Demand is inelastic. If prices increases, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would increase
c. Demand is elastic. Increase in price would lead to a reduction in quantity demanded and total revenue would fall
Demand is inelastic, if prices are decreased, there would be little or no change in quantity demanded and revenue would fall
Demand is elastic. A decrease in price would increase the quantity demanded and total revenue would rise

is trading at 54.33. You decide to short sell 100 shares of their stock, providing 3100 in collateral to your broker. You hold the short position for one year and expect Comcast to pay a dividend of 1 per share. In one year, the stock price is 44. Assuming the brokerage account pays no interest on your cash, what is your return, relative to your collateral
Answer: 30.1%
Explanation:
Return = (Value of stock when shorted - Dividend - Value of stock when returning stock)/Capital employed
Dividend = 100 shares * $1 per share
= $100
Dividends are subtracted because they are owed to the shareholders the stock was borrowed from.
Value of stock when shorted = 54.33 * 100 = $5,433
Value of stock when returning stock = 44 * 100 = $4,400
= (5,433 - 100 - 4,400) / 3,100
= 30.1%

Total fixed costs $590,000 $590,000
Net income $310,000 $760,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price per unit = $32
Expected unit sales 60,000 90,000
Production units 60,000 90,000
Beginning inventory = 0
Selling price per unit = $33
Variable manufacturing costs = $13 per unit
Fixed manufacturing costs = $540,000
Variable selling and administrative expenses = $5
Fixed selling and administrative expenses = $50,000
b) The key difference lies with the treatment of fixed and variable costs. With absorption costing, the fixed manufacturing costs are included in the costs of products. With variable costing, they are treated as period costs or expenses. Also, with variable costing, variable selling and administrative costs are included in the variable costs of the products. The variable costing method calculates the contribution margin before deducting the fixed expenses to arrive at the net income. On the other hand, the absorption costing method calculates the gross profit instead of the contribution margin.
Billy Dan and Betty Lou were recently married and want to start saving for their dream home. They expect the house they want will cost approximately $247,000. They hope to be able to purchase the house for cash in 12 years. To determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables, click here to view Tables I, II, III, or IV in the appendix. Alternatively, if you calculate the discount factor(s) using a formula, round to six (6) decimal places before using the factor in the problem.
Answer:
Billy Dan and Betty Lou have to invest $11,551 each year to purchase their dream home at the end of 12 years
Explanation:
The requirement of this is missing, that is provided below
How much will Billy Dan and Betty Lou have to invest each year to purchase their dream home at the end of 12 years? Assume an interest rate of 10 percent.
Use the following formula to calculate the amount of yearly investment.
Cost to purchase the house = Annual investment x ( 1 + Interest rate )^numbers of years ) - 1 ) / interest rate
Where
Cost to purchase the house = $247,000
Interest rate = 10%
Numbers of years = 12 years
Annual investment = ?
Placing values in the formula
$247,000 = Annual investment x ( 1 + 10% )^12 ) - 1 ) / 10%
$247,000 = Annual investment x 21.384284
Annual investment = $247,000 / 21.384284
Annual investment = $11,550.54
Annual investment = $11,551
Hence, they have to invest $11,551 each year to be able to purchase the house for cash in 12 years.
Suppose Dr. Chu decided to open a donuts shop call Dr. Donuts. Dr. Chu is able to source flours at $2 per pound (making 40 donuts), sugars at $5 per pound (making 100 donuts), and butter at $1 per pound (making 100 donuts) While the donuts are not very tasty, Dr. Chu believes he can sell a lot of them by pricing them at $0.36 per donuts. Assuming his rent is $1800 per month, corporate tax of $100 per month, and draws a salary of $200 a day (use 30 days in a month), how many donuts must Dr. Chu sell in a month to break-even.
Answer:
31,600 donuts
Explanation:
Break even point is the level of activity where a company makes neither a profit nor a loss.
Break even point (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Sales per unit - Variable Costs per unit
Step 1 : Sales per donut
Sales per donut = $0.36
Step 2 : Variable Cost per Donut
Variable Cost per Donut :
Flours ($2 ÷ 40) $0.05
Sugars ($5 ÷ 100) $0.05
Butter ($1 ÷ 100) $0.01
Total $0.11
Step 3 : Fixed cost per month
Rent $1,800
corporate tax $100
Salary ($200 x 30) $6,000
Total $7,900
therefore,
Break even point = $7,900 ÷ ($0.36 - $0.11)
= 31,600 donuts
Conclusion :
Dr. Chu sell 31,600 donuts in a month to break-even.

Determine the (1) current ratio and (2) quick ratio for both years. Round to one decimal place.
Answer:
Current ratio
Year 1 = 1.3
Year 2 = 1.1
Quick ratio
Year 1 = 1.0
Year 2 = 0.8
Explanation:
Current ratio is the ration of a company's current assets to the current liabilities while the quick ratio is similar to the current asset except that the prepaid expenses and inventories are excluded from the determination of the assets.
Current assets
Year 1 = 9,096 + 2,913 + 6,437 + 2,720 + 1,865
= $ 23,031.00
Year 2 = 6,134 + 2,592 + 6,651 + 3,143 + 2,143
= $ 20,663.00
Current Liabilities
Year 1 = 4,071 + 13,507

Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances
Answer:
a. Interest Deductible = $31,100
b. Interest Deductible = $28,900
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
This year Randy paid $28,900 of interest on his residence. (Randy borrowed $462,000 to buy his residence, and it is currently worth $512,000.) Randy also paid $2,800 of interest on his car loan and $4,650 of margin interest to his stockbroker (investment interest expense). How much of this interest expense can Randy deduct as an itemized deduction under the following circumstances?
a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.
Interest Deductible $.......
b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.
Interest Deducttible $.......
The explanation of the anwer is now given as follows:
a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.
Randy may choose to deduct the interest of $28,900 on his residence as an itemized deduction.
The $2,800 of interest on his car loan is a nondeductible personal interest.
The $2,200 interest income received can be regarded as an investment income.
The $4,500 margin interest to his stockbroke is likely investment interest. But since Randy has only $2,200 interest income, his deduction is limited to the $2,200.
Therefore, we have:
Interest Deductible = Interest on his residence + $2,200 = $28,900 + $2,200 = $31,100
b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.
Since there is no investment income, Randy can only dedcut the interest of $28,900 on his residence based on the explanation in part a above.
Therefore, we have:
Interest Deductible = $28,900
A product sells for $210 per unit, and its variable costs per unit are $130. The fixed costs are $420,000. If the firm wants to earn $35,000 after tax income (assume a 30% tax rate), how many units must be sold
Answer:
5,688 units
Explanation:
Target sales = Target Profit + Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Contribution per unit = Sales - Variable Costs
= $210 - $130 = $80
therefore,
Target sales = ($35,000 + $420,000) ÷ $80 = 5,688 units
Assume that you have entered into a fixed for fixed currency swap agreement under which every 6 months you agree to pay 3% on a notional of 110M USD and receive 4% on a notional of 100M EUR. On the date you signed the contract the spot exchange rate is 1.1 USD/EUR. Six months later the spot exchange rate is 1.05 USD/EUR. Your actual payment net of what you receive at the first payment date equals to :__________
Answer: -0.55M USD
Explanation:
The payment made will be:
= 3%/2 × 110M USD
= 0.03/2 × 110M USD
= 1.65M USD
The amount received will be:
= 4%/2 × 100M EUR
= 2% × 100M EUR
= 0.02 × 100M EUR
= 2M EUR
Since exchange rate = 1.1 USD/EUR
2M EUR = 2 × 1.1 = 2.2M USD
Therefore, net payment will be:
= 1.65M - 2.2M
= - 0.55M USD
One of the biggest differences between men and women consumers is that men tend to stay loyal to a store. Women are much more ready to shop around-- perhaps because they demand more from their products than men.

Gentleman Gym just paid its annual dividend of $3 per share, and it is widely expected that the dividend will increase by 5% per year indefinitely. a. What price should the stock sell at if the discount rate is 15%. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. What price should the stock sell at if the discount rate is 12%.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the price that should be sell is shown below:
As we know that
Price = dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (discount rate - growth rate)
a. The price is
= $3 × 1.05 ÷ (15% - 5%)
= $31.50
b. Now the price is
= $3 × 1.05 ÷ (12% - 5%)
= $45
Hence, the above represent the answer in both the cases.
Cora purchased a hotel building on May 17, 2020, for $3,000,000. Determine the cost recovery deduction for 2021. a.$76,920 b.$69,000 c.$48,150 d.$59,520
Answer: $76920
Explanation:
Firstly, we should note that the hotel building is simply non residential and then qualifies to be part of 39 year property.
Then, the cost of recovery will be:
= 1/39 × Cost of the hotel
= 1/39 × $3,000,000
= $76,920
Therefore, the cost recovery deduction for 2021 is $76,920
