Jessica is a U.S. Army Reservist and in 2019 traveled 130 miles each way to serve duty at a local military installation. She was required to report four times in 2019. Her normal route from home to the base included a $1.75 toll each way. Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs is:________.
a. $0.
b. $14.00.
c. $122.00.
d. $566.80.
e. $580.80.
Final answer:
Jessica's for AGI deduction for the travel costs to the military installation is based on toll costs alone, since the standard mileage rate is not provided in the information. The calculation comes to a total of $14.00 which is the sum of the tolls paid for four round trips, making option b the correct answer. Since the IRS standard mileage rate is not provided, the mileage costs cannot be calculated.
Explanation:
To determine Jessica's for AGI deduction for her travel costs to the military installation, we need to calculate the total amount she spent. Jessica traveled 130 miles each way and reported for duty four times in 2019. Although the information provided does not explicitly state the IRS deductible rate for travel in 2019, typically the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows a certain amount per mile driven for business purposes.
For the sake of this example, let's use the standard IRS mileage rate for 2019, which was 58 cents per mile for business travel. However, the actual problem doesn't provide us with a mileage rate, so we cannot calculate the mileage costs without this information.
Jessica incurred a $1.75 toll each way during her trips. Since she made four round trips, the total toll cost would be 4 trips × 2 tolls per trip × $1.75 per toll, which equals $14.00.
Since the information on the standard mileage rate is missing, we cannot complete the calculation for mileage costs accurately. However, with the toll costs alone, Jessica's for AGI deduction for these costs, based only on available information, would be $14.00, which corresponds to option b.
Jane contracts Tom, a home developer, to build her a new house. In the contract it states that all necessary parts of the home must be complete before the contract is to be considered finished. However, Tom decides it is simply too much work to carpet and tile the home and finishes his work without completing the carpet and tile. Tom breached his contract with Jane. To initiate a lawsuit against Tom, Jane must:
Answer:
Simply file a complain in the court. The court will read the contract and then order Tom to finish the necessary parts of the company which means that the finishing of the tiles and carpet was an implied clause in the contract. So it seems better for Jane to sue Tom to mitigate for damages.
Expansionary fiscal policy actions include __________ government spending and/or __________ taxes, while contractionary fiscal policy actions include __________ government spending and/or __________ taxes.
Answer:
increasing; decreasing; decreasing; increasing
Explanation:
Answer:
Expansionary fiscal policy actions include __increase__ government spending and/or _decrease_ taxes, while contractionary fiscal policy actions include __decrease_ government spending and/or __increase__ taxes.
Explanation:
The fical policy stand for what is the government doing to the aggreate demand curve.
When it is expanding it means it increase their defecit or reduces their surplus
As increases the expenses or reduces the taxation on the agent ( enterprise and families). Both, makes more demand for good as the consumer will consumer a protion of the tax-cut and save another (increasing investing) while the spending will consume goods.
The opposite will occur at a contractionary fiscal polocy. In this policy the state weight in the economy decreases.
Consider the following: Cash in Bank - checking account of $18, 500 Cash on hand of $500. Post dated checks received totaling $3 500 and Certificates of deposits totaling $24,000. How much should be reported at cash in the balance sheet?
a. $18.500
b $19,000
c. $22, 500
d. $130, 500
Answer:
b $19,000
Explanation:
The reconciliation between the book balance and the bank statement examines the transactions recorded in either account but omitted in the other and the transactions recorded wrongly in both accounts.
Given the following transactions
Cash in Bank - checking account = $18, 500
Cash on hand = $500
Post dated checks received = $3 500 and
Certificates of deposits = $24,000
Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 + $24,000
= $43,000
The post dated check is not included as the cash is yet to be received. The balance in the post dated check will form part of the receivables balance and not that of cash.
The certificate of deposit may be accounted for as part of cash and cash equivalent as shown in the computation above. Where the certificate of deposit is accounted for as a short term investment,
Cash balance in balance sheet = $18, 500 + $500 = $19,000
The total cash that should be reported on the balance sheet is $19,000, accounting for the sum of cash in the checking account and cash on hand, but excluding post-dated checks and certificates of deposit.
The question asks how much should be reported as cash in the balance sheet, considering various forms of cash and near-cash items. To find the correct answer, we must identify which items can be classified as cash or cash equivalents. Cash in the bank - checking account of $18,500 and cash on hand of $500 are clear-cut cash items. Post-dated checks received totaling $3,500 are not immediately accessible as cash and therefore should not be included. Certificates of deposits totaling $24,000, while often considered a cash equivalent, are subject to specific criteria such as maturity dates and are not typically classified as cash for most reporting purposes. Hence, the sum of the cash items suitable for reporting on the balance sheet as cash is $19,000 ($18,500 in the checking account + $500 cash on hand), making option b the correct answer.
On January 1, 2021, Solis Co. issued its 10% bonds in the face amount of $8,000,000, which mature on January 1, 2031. The bonds were issued for $9,080,000 to yield 8%, resulting in the bond premium of $1,080,000. Solis uses the effective-interest method of amortizing bond premium. Interest is payable annually on December 31. At December 31, 2021, Solis's adjusted unamortized bond premium should be
Answer:
1,006,400
Explanation:
To know the unamortized portion we have to solve for the amount amortizated at the first payment in December 31th,2021.
Under the effective-rate method we will calculate the amortization as follow:
interest expense:
9,080,000 x 8% = 726,400
cash outlay:
8,000,000 x 10% = 800,000
amortization on premium:
800,000 - 726,400 = 73,600
the unamortized bond premium at year-end should be:
1,080,000 - 73,600 = 1,006,400
Each of the following is a primary consideration in the choice of business entity, except: a. The degree to which the founders' personal assets are protected from liabilities of the business b. The availability of favorable tax strategies c. The desirability for potential investors and lenders d. The entrepreneur's lifestyle
Answer:
d. The entrepreneur's lifestyle
Explanation:
One of the principles of accounting is business entity, the business is a distinct entity from the owners. So the lifestyle of the enterpreneur does not affect the business.
Also because of this financial transactions of the business and those of the owners are mutually exclusive. For example if an entrepreneur buys a house for himself, this is not connected to the business and the business cannot lay claim on it. This also applies vice versa when the business obtains property the owner cannot claim it for personal use.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A business entity means that the business is its own owner and it is a completely different and distinct entity from the entrrpreneur. Definitely the lifestyle of the enterpreneur cannot affect the business.
The finances owned by the business and that owned by the enterpreneur doesn"t have a meeting point and are seperate entities
If the business buys a car for itself, this is not connected to the enterpreneur even though he might be using it and the enterpreneur cannot lay claim on it. In case the business is liquidated the car is sold as an assest of the business. This goes for the enterpreneur personal property also. So his lifestyle is not part of the business entity.
A company has 10,000 shares of $100 par, 6% cumulative preferred stock outstanding. If the company declares a total of $200,000 of cash dividends for the year for both its common and preferred stock and the preferred stock is two years in arrears, how much will be allocated to the (1) preferred stockholders and (2) the common stockholders?
A) (1) $60,000 and (2) $140,000
B) (1) $120,000 and $80,000.
C) (1) $180,000 and $20,000.
D) (1) $200,000 and (2) $0.
E) None of the above.
Answer:
A) (1) $60,000 and (2) $140,000
Explanation:
Number of preferred share = 10,000
Price of Preferred share = $100
Total value of Preference share = 10,000 x $100 = $1,000,000
(1) Preferred dividend = $1,000,000 x 6% = $60,000
Total Dividend Announced = $200,000
Dividend for common stockholders = Total Announced Dividend - Dividend for Preferred Stockholders
(2) Dividend for common stockholders = $200,000 - $60,000
Dividend for common stockholders = $140,000
A company borrows $100,000 from a bank; this is part of the: a. Secondary debt market b. Primary debt market c. Secondary equity market d. Primary equity market
Answer:
The answer is B. Primary Debt Market
Explanation:
Primary Debt Market is a type of market in which participants issue/obtain loan(bonds, notes, bills etc.)directly from a company(bank or lender).
The money is directly from the bank to the debtor(the company that is borrowing money).
Option B is incorrect because secondary debt market is from hand to hand i.e from debtor to debtor.
For example, Mr A. obtains a loan of $1000 dollar from a bank. This is primarily debt market. And afterwards Mr A. sells this particular loan to Mr B. This is secondary debt market because it is not directly from the bank.
Option C and D are incorrect because this transaction is a debt transaction and not an equity transaction

In year 8, Mondo Magazines began selling one- and two-year subscriptions to its publications. Subscriptions are collected in advance and credited to sales. An analysis of the recorded sales activity revealed the following:____________
Answer:
$450,000
Explanation:
Deferred subscription revenue (or unearned subscription revenue) is a liability account since your customers paid you in advance for goods or services that you must provide in the future.
The net unearned revue for 2018 and 2019 is = $390,000 and $460,000 respectively.
Of the 2018 amount, only $115,000 (= $390,000 - $115,000 - $160,000) remain as a liability during 2019 since they expire on 2020.
Of the 2019 amount, $335,000 (= $460,000 - $125,000) remain as a liability during 2019 since they expire on 2020 and 2021.
By December 31, 2019, unearned revenue = $115,000 + $335,000 = $450,000
Job HE-65 at Wilson Manufacturing Inc. required $300 of direct materials and 15 direct labor hours at $10 per hour. The company’s estimated total overhead cost for the year was $900,000 and estimated direct labor hours were 30,000.
Answer:
Job HE-65 total cost 900 dollars
Explanation:
predeterminated overhead rate:
expected cost / expected driver
900,000 / 30,000 = $30
Each labor hour generates $30 dollars of overhead according to our expectation
Now we solve for the cost of job HE-65
materials 300
labor 15 hours x $10 = 150
and overhead 15 hours x $30 each = 450
total cost 300 + 150 + 450 0 900
Answer:
$900
Explanation:
costs for Job HE-65:
direct materials = $300
direct labor = 15 x $10 = $150
applied overhead = ??? = $30 per labor hour x 15 labor hours = $450
⇵
if we apply predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor hours, then we should apply $900,000 / 30,000 = $30 per labor hour.
the total costs for JOB HE-65 = $300 + $150 + $450 = $900

I'maGoldMiner has benefited from a record rise in gold prices in the global commodities market. While the price of its output is highly influenced by market speculation, if it wants to increase production to take advantage of the current profit-maximizing opportunity, the company1. must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.2. must reduce what it pays for inputs that make up its costs of production.3. must reduce production to encourage speculators to drive gold prices higher.4. must alter the price of its labor inputs to maximize profits.
Answer:
1) must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.
Explanation:
Option 1 is correct because the company must increase it production output, so it can benefit from current high prices. Sometimes increasing production results in higher unit costs, but if those higher costs are offset by higher prices, then it is worth it.
Option 2 is wrong because the company must focus on increasing its production level in order to benefit from higher prices.
Option 3 is wrong because the company must increase its production level in order to benefit from higher prices.
Option 4 is wrong for the same reason as option 2.
Stowell earns 20% interest compounded annually on his savings. He will deposit $1,500 today, $1,650 one year from today, and $1,820 two years from today. What will be the account balance three years from today? (Round intermediate calculations to nearest four decimals.)
The account balance will be $7,152 three years from now.
Explanation:
The annual interest is 20%. The formula to calculate compound interest is
A = P × (1 + (r/n))^tn where A is the amount after adding the compound interest, P is the interest, r is the interest %, n is number of compounds per year and tn is the years to be calculated but since the interest is compounded yearly and we check the balance every year we get that the n and rn equal to 1 so we get that A = P (1 +r)^1
So for the beginning of the first year where principal is $1,500,
A = $1,500 (1 + 0.20) = $1,500 (1.20) = $1,800.
For the beginning of the second year, the current balance is $1,800 and another $1,650 is added so prinicipal P is equal to $1,800 + $1,650 = $3,450,
A = $3,450 (1 + 0.20) = $3,450 (1.20) = $4,140.
For the start of the third year, current balance is $4,140 and $1,820 is added so principal is $4,140 + $1,820 = $5,960,
A = $5,490 (1 + 0.20) = $5,490 (1.20) = $7,152.
Final answer:
To find Stowell's account balance after three years with a 20% annual compound interest, calculate the future value of each deposit ($1,500 today, $1,650 in one year, and $1,820 in two years) and sum them up.
Explanation:
Stowell's account balance three years from today, with 20% interest compounded annually, can be calculated considering each of the deposits separately and then adding them together. The deposits made are as follows: $1,500 today, $1,650 one year from today, and $1,820 two years from today. We'll calculate the future value of each deposit after three years and sum them to find the total balance.
The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r)^n, where P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), and n is the number of compounding periods.
First Deposit: $1,500 will compound for three years:So for the beginning of the first year where principal is $1,500,
A = $1,500 (1 + 0.20) = $1,500 (1.20) = $1,800.
For the beginning of the second year, the current balance is $1,800 and another $1,650 is added so prinicipal P is equal to $1,800 + $1,650 = $3,450,
A = $3,450 (1 + 0.20) = $3,450 (1.20) = $4,140.
For the start of the third year, current balance is $4,140 and $1,820 is added so principal is $4,140 + $1,820 = $5,960,
A = $5,490 (1 + 0.20) = $5,490 (1.20) = $7,152.

John Jamison wants to accumulate $75,000 for a down payment on a small business. He will invest $35,000 today in a bank account paying 8% interest compounded annually. Approximately how long will it take John to reach his goal?PV= $35,000, n=?, i=8%, FV=$75,0002. The Jasmine Tea Company purchased merchandise from a supplier for $43,700. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring Jasmine to make six annual payments of $8,000 beginning one year from the date of purchase. What is the interest rate implicit in this agreement?PV=$43,700, n=6, i=%, Annuity Payment= $8,0003. Sam Robinson borrowed $18,000 from a friend and promised to pay the loan in 10 equal annual installments beginning one year from the date of the loan. Sam’s friend would like to be reimbursed for the time value of money at a 9% annual rate. What is the annual payment Sam must make to pay back his friend?Table or calculator function: PVA of $1. PV= $18,000, n=10, i=9%, Annual Installment=?
Answer:
Explanation:
(1)
FV = PV x (1 + r)^N
FV = $75,000
PV = $35,000
r = 8%
75,000 = 35,000 x (1.08)^N
(1.08)N = 2.1429
N ln 1.08 = ln 2.1429
N = ln 2.1429 / ln 1.08 = 0.33 / 0.033 = 10 years
(2)
FV = Annual payment, A x PVA
FV = $43,700
n = 6 years
A = 8,000
43,700 = 8,000 x PVA
PVA = 5.4625
PVIFA (6 years, r%) = 5.4172
r=3%.
(3)
PV = Annual payment, A x PVIFA (r%, n years)
PV = $18,000
n = 6 years
r = 9%
$18,000 = A x PVIFA (9%, 6 years) = A x 4.4859 [From PVIFA table]
A = $18,000 / 4.4859 = $4,012.57
John will take approximately 7.52 years to reach his investment goal of $75,000 at 8% annual interest rate. Jasmine Tea Company's home agreement indicates an implicit interest rate of approximately 6.35%. Sam must make an annual installment of $2,702 to repay his $18,000 loan over 10 years at 9% interest.
Explanation:1. To calculate how long it will take John to reach his goal, we would need to use the formula for future value of $1: FV = PV*(1+i)^n. Solving for n, we get n = log(FV/PV) / log(1+i). Plugging in the given values, we get n ≈ 7.52 years.
2. To find the implicit interest rate, we first calculate the present value of the annuity using the given value. Then, we equate it to the formula of present value of annuity: PV = Annuity Payment * PVA of $1 factor(n,i). Solving for interest rate i, we require iterative process or financial calculator to find i ≈ 6.35%
3. To calculate Sam's annual installment, we will use the formula for the present value of an annuity: PV = Annual Installment * PVA of $1 factor(n,i). Solving for 'Annual Installment', it results in $18,000 / PVA of $1 factor(n,i) = $2,702.

When the price of a good (e.g., oranges) or service (e.g., hair cut) changes,
a. the demand curve of that good or service shifts in the same direction.
b. the demand curve of that good or service shifts in the opposite direction.
c. the supply curve of that good or service shifts in the opposite direction.
d. there is a movement along the demand curve of that good or service.
Answer:
d. there is a movement along the demand curve of that good or service.
Explanation:
A change in price of a good or service leads to a movement along the demand curve either up or down. If price increase, quantity demanded falls and there's a movement up the demand curve. If prices fall, quantity demanded rises and there's a movement down the demand curve.
I hope my answer helps you
When the price of a good or service changes, there is a movement along the demand curve of that good or service, not a shift in the curve. This movement represents a change in the quantity demanded due to a change in price.
Explanation:When the price of a good or service changes, it does not cause the demand curve or the supply curve to shift. Instead, it results in a movement along the existing demand curve. This is because the demand curve represents the relationship between price and quantity demanded, all else being equal. This is known as the law of demand. Therefore, a change in price results in a change in the quantity demanded, which is a movement along the demand curve, not a shift of the curve itself.
For example, if the price of oranges decreases, according to the law of demand, the quantity demanded for oranges will increase. This represents a movement down along the demand curve for oranges. So the correct answer is (d) there is a movement along the demand curve of that good or service when its price changes.

"A cost that is constant within a relevant range but differs outside the relevant range of activity is best classified as what type of cost?"
Beta Corporation is planning operations for the coming year. Beta uses normal costing and applies overhead on the basis of direct labor hours. The estimated overhead cost amounts to $10,000,000, estimated direct labor hours are 125,000, estimated direct labor cost amounts to $3,200,000, and estimated direct materials cost is $23,000,000. What is Beta's predetermined overhead rate?
Answer:
The correct answer is $80 per hour.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Estimated overhead cost = $10,000,000
Estimated direct labor hours = 125,000 hours
Direct labor cost amount = $3,200,000
Direct material cost = $23,000,000
So, we can calculate the predetermined overhead rate by using following formula:
Predetermined overhead rate = Estimated overhead /Estimated Direct labor hours
= $10,000,000 / 125,000 hours
= $80 per hour
Hence, the predetermined overhead rate is $80 per hour.

Which of the following operations decisions is not a long-term strategic decision?
Capacity planning
Work shift scheduling
Manufacturing process selection
Facility location
Product design
Which of the following is not a major strategic operational competitive dimension that forms a company's competitive position?
Top management involvement
Delivery speed
Coping with changes in demand
Delivery reliability
Process quality
Answer:
The answer is Work shift scheduling.
Work shift scheduling is done on either a daily or a weekly/monthly basis. In addition, work has to be scheduled whenever a strategic change has been made or whenever an outside effect influences the company processes.
The second answer is Top management involvement. Competitive pricing, fast and reliable delivery along with adjusting to the changing demand of customers are all competitive strategic dimensions yet Top management do not need to involve in every process of a company. They do formulate the policies, yet there is no universal rule for them to participate in everything.
Explanation:
While Steve is cleaning out his garage, he finds an old surfboard that he no longer needs. As he walks to the dumpster to throw it out, his neighbor John asks if he could have it. John offers Steve a 6-pack of beer (worth $10) in exchange, which Steve happily accepts. Steve has achieved a producer surplus of:_______
a) $50, because that's what the surfboard was likely worth.
b) $o, since he was just going to throw out the board
c) $5, because Steve and John benefited equally from the $10 transaction.
d) $10, the value of the beer he received
Answer:
b) $0, since he was just going to throw out the board
Explanation:
Producer surplus would have applied if the old surfboard that he no longer needs was produced by him.
Producer surplus measures the benefit to sellers of participating in a market. It is measured as the amount a seller is paid minus the cost of production. For an individual sale, producer surplus is measured as the difference between the market price and the cost of production, as shown on the supply curve.
There is a difference between profit and Producer Surplus which is the fixed cost of production.
In conclusion Steve benefited $10 but that cannot be called a producer surplus.

John decides to leave college early and play professional sports. Which of the following economic principles does John use? i) personal economic policies ii) marginal cost versus marginal benefit analysis iii) normative versus positive economics
Answer:
i) personal economic policies ii) marginal cost versus marginal benefit analysis
Explanation:
Marginal costs and benefits are an integral part of the economy as they help to calculate costs and benefits accurately at a particular production stage and usage stage.
An economic policy is an act that aims at influencing or controlling economic behavior.
At this stage John believes his decision will influence his economy positively and he sees more long-term benefits than costs for him if he plays professional sports rather than staying in college.
John's decision involves a marginal cost versus marginal benefit analysis, where he assesses the immediate benefits of professional sports against the costs of leaving college early.
John's decision to leave college early and play professional sports primarily involves marginal cost versus marginal benefit analysis. This economic principle suggests that John is assessing the additional costs and benefits of his next immediate action. Essentially, he is comparing the marginal benefit of earning immediately through professional sports against the marginal cost of forgoing his education temporarily or permanently. This analysis allows individuals to make choices that they believe will maximize their utility or satisfaction, based on the concept that people make decisions by considering the incremental costs and benefits of their actions. In John's case, if the perceived benefit of playing professional sports outweighs the cost of leaving college early, his choice aligns with this economic principle. This approach is practical in various decision-making processes where individuals weigh the immediate benefits against the potential costs.
