During the year, Lillie rented her vacation home for three months and spend one month there. Gross rental income from the property was $5,000. Lillie incurred the following expenses: mortgage interest, $3,000; real estate taxes $1,500; utilities, $800; and depreciation, $4,000. Compute Lillie's allowable deductions for the vacation home.
Answer:
$8,100
Explanation:
The home was rented for more than 14 days, you must pay taxes for the rental income
Since Lille used the house for more than 15 days herself, limits her deduction. The home cannot be treated as rental home nor personal use vacation home.
total days used = (30 x 3) + 30 = 120 days
rental days = 90/120 = 75% (this doesn't apply to mortgage interest nor real estate taxes, they are still 100% deductible)
mortgage interest and real estate taxes still qualify as personal expenses = $3,000 + $1,500 = $4,500
utilities and depreciation will be deducted only 75% = ($800 + $4,000) x 75% = $3,600
total deductions = $4,500 + $3,600 = $8,100
Winganon Company began 2020 with 6,500 units of its principal product. The cost of each unit is $8.25. Merchandise transactions for the month of January 2020 are as follows:
Purchases
Date of Purchase Units Unit Cost Total Cost
Jan. 7 9,000 $ 8 $ 72,000
Jan. 21 10,000 $ 9 $ 90,000
Totals 19,000 $ 162,000
Includes purchase price and cost of freight.
Sales
Date of Sale Units
Jan. 2 6,000
Jan. 13 9,000
Jan. 25 8,500
Total 23,500
required:
compute the number and total cost of unit available for sale in the year 2020?
Answer:
25,500 units
Cost of goods available for sale is $215,625.00
Explanation:
The available for sale units in the year is the sum of opening stock of inventory and purchases made in the course of the year as spelt below:
Quantity Price per unit $ total value $
Opening stock 6,500 8.25 53,625.00
Purchases(Jan7) 9,000 8.00 72,000.00
Purchases(Jan 21) 10,000 9.00 90,000.00
Total 25,500 215,625.00
The total number of goods available for sale is 25,500 units
The total cost of goods available for sale is $215,625
The cost of goods sold would then be the costs of goods available for sale less the value of closing stock of inventory
A furniture factory's employees work overtime in February to finish an order that is sold on February 28. The office sends a statement to the customer in early March and payment is received by mid-March. The overtime salaries should be expensed in:______
a) the period when the workers receive their cheques
b) either in February or March depending on when the pay period ends
c) February.
d) March.
Answer: February
Explanation:
Overtime is the amount of time that a person works beyond the normal working hours. From the question, we realise that a furniture factory's workers work overtime in February in order to finish an order that was sold on February 28.
Based on this scenario, the overtime wages should be expensed in February. This is because expenses are recognised when incurred while incomes are recognised when earned. Since the expenses are incurred in February, the overtime salaries should be expensed in February.
Kuzma Foods, Inc. has budgeted sales for June and July at $ 680 comma 000 and $ 765 comma 000, respectively. Sales are 85% credit, of which 70% is collected in the month of sale and 30% is collected in the following month. What is the budgeted Accounts Receivable balance on July 31?
Answer:
$195,075
Explanation:
The computation of the budgeted account receivable balance as on July 31 is shown below:
= July budgeted sales × credit sales percentage × following month percentage
= $765,000 × 85% × 30%
= $195,075
We simply multiplied the July budgeted sales with the credit sales percentage and the following month percentage so that the budgeted account receivable balance could come
You are hired by the Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) as an economic consultant. The Chairperson of the CEA tells you that she believes the current unemployment rate is too high. The unemployment rate can be reduced if aggregate output increases. She wants to know what policy to pursue to increase aggregate output by $500 billion. The best estimate she has for the MPC is 0.5. Which of the following policies should you recommend? Why?
A) increase government purchases by $200 billion B) increase government purchases by $250 billion C) cut taxes by $200 billion D) cut taxes by $200 billion and to increase government purchases by $200 billion
Answer:
Council of Economic Advisors (CEA)
I would recommend this policy to increase aggregate output:
B) increase government purchases by $250 billion
Explanation:
To increase aggregate output (GDP) by $500 billion, in order to reduce the unemployment rate, government, given the best estimate for the MPC as 0.5, it would be to increase government purchases by $250 billion. The MPC is the marginal propensity to consume.
By increasing government purchases by $250 billion, the ripple effect would ginger industries to generate more output, thereby increasing the factors that affect aggregate output. These actions would then increase aggregate output by more than $500 billion. This choice is made because government spending is funded from taxes, making government unable to cut taxes.
Economists define aggregate output as "the sum of all the goods and services produced in an economy over a certain period of time." Aggregate output is an economy's total productivity or GDP (Gross Domestic Product). The factors that determine aggregate output include household wealth, consumer and business expectations, capacity utilization, monetary policy, fiscal policy, exchange rates, and foreign GDP.
The equation for calculating aggregate output, which expands the GDP by showing price level, is given as "Y = Y ad = C + I + G + NX tells us that aggregate output (or aggregate income) is equal to aggregate demand, which in turn is equal to consumer expenditure plus investment (planned, physical stuff) plus government spending plus net exports (exports – imports)."
An inexperienced accountant for Ayayai Corp. showed the following in the income statement: income before income taxes $250,000 and unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities (before taxes) $85,000. The unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities and income before income taxes are both subject to a 25% tax rate. Prepare a correct statement of comprehensive income.
Answer:
Ayayai Corp.
Statement of Comprehensive Income
For the Year Ended xxx, 202x
Net income $187,500
Other comprehensive income:
Unrealized gain on AFS securities $85,000
Comprehensive income $272,500
Explanation:
In order to prepare a statement of comprehensive income we first need to determine net income after taxes = $250,000 x (1 - 25%) = $187,500
Unrealized gains or losses are not taxed until they are actually realized (either make profit or lose money).
Mr. Hobbes Bed & Breakfast is considering the replacement of some old equipment. The new equipment will cost $86,000 including delivery and installation. The old equipment to be replaced has a book value of $60,200 and can be sold pre-tax for $61,200. If the firm’s effective tax rate is 25%, compute the net investment.
Answer:
$25,550
Explanation:
For computing the net investment first we have to find out the loss or gain on sale of old equipment which is shown below:
Sale value = $61,200
Less: Book value of old equipment = $60,200
Gain = $1000
Now
Tax on gain is
= $1,000 × 25%
= $250
So, the net gain is
= $1,000 - $250
= $750
Now the net investment is
= Cost of new equipment - sale value pre tax + net gain
= $86,000 - $61,200 + $750
= $25,550
Answer:
Net Investment = $25,550
Explanation:
Given:
Sale value (old equipment) = $61,200
Book value of old equipment = $60,200
New equipment cost = $86,000
Effective tax rate = 25%
Computation
Gain on sale = $61,200 - $60,200
Gain on sale = $1,000
Amount of tax on gain = $1000 × 25%
Amount of tax on gain = $250
Net Gain = Gain on sale - Amount of tax on gain
Net Gain = $750
Net Investment = Cost of new equipment - (Sale value - Net Gain)
Net Investment = $86,200 - (61,200 - 750)
Net Investment = $25,550

Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Every year, the U.S. Census Bureau conducts an income survey of about 60,000 American families carefully selected to represent the whole population. The data collected help to measure income inequality in the economy. Which of the following causes the census data to inaccurately measure income inequality?
a) Very few people move from one income quintile to another over the years.
b) Higher-income families tend to have more persons to support.
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Answer:
c) In-kind transfers do not add to people's incomes but are counted as income.
Explanation:
In the given scenario the aim of the census is to measure income inequality in the population selected.
If however the amount of income earned by individuals is not estimated accurately the results of the study will be inaccurate.
In kind transfers are usually goods and services that a person gets for free of at a reduced rate. They are not considered to be income.
When in kind transfers are counted as income and do not actually add up to income, we cannot get a true picture of income of participants of the income survey.
People who have low income but high in kind transfers will be considered high income earners which is not true.

Lehi City has designated an internal service fund as the single fund to account for its self-insurance activities. Most of the insured activities such as the police department, fire department, and general government functions are accounted for in the General Fund. What is the maximum amount that can be charged to expenditure in the General Fund related to the self-insurance activities
Answer: c)The actuarially determined amount necessary to cover claims, expenditures, and catastrophic losses.
Explanation:
The Expenditure on the account related to self - insurance activities refers to the amounts that will be deducted from the fund for anything insurance related.
The insurance is meant to cover the claims and unlikely events of catastrophies. Therefore when those things do occur it will be deducted from the service fund to cover those things.
Those along with expenses incurred to maintain the fund will be considered expenses and that is the maximum amounts that can be deducted from the fund.
A firm buys on terms of 3/15, net 45. It does not take the discount, and it generally pays after 85 days. What is the nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year? The firm's APR of not taking the trade credit is ____. (If you use percent, then do not use the percent sign. Go two places to the right of the decimal point (XX.XX). If you use decimal places, then go four places to the right of the decimal place. 0.XXXX). 0.1613
Answer:
What is the nominal annual percentage cost of its non-free trade credit, based on a 365-day year? The firm's APR of not taking the trade credit is 0.1613.
Explanation:
The nominal cost of its non-free trade credit = the discounts lost for paying late.
In this case, the seller offers a 3% discount if the firm pays within 15 days.
annual financial cost = [discount / (100% - discount)] x [365 / (repayment time - discount period)]
annual financial cost = [3% / (100% - 3%)] x [365 / (85 - 15)] = (3% / 97%) x (365 / 70) = 0.1613 or 16.13%
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is pequals=140140minus−22q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $2020, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer: $1800
Explanation:
Here is the correct question:
Joe has just moved to a small town with only one golf course, the Northlands Golf Club. His inverse demand function is p=140-2q, where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good idea of what Joe's demand curve is and offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds as he wants at $20, which is the marginal cost his round imposes on the Club. What membership fee would maximize profit for the Club? The manager could have charged Joe a single price per round. How much extra profit does the Club earn by using two-part pricing? The profit-maximizing membership fee (F) is $nothing. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Answer:
p = 140 - 2q
The profit-maximizing membership fee will be equal to total surplus
Therefore, the number of rounds that Joe played will be,
P = MC
20 = 140 - 2q
2q = 140 - 20
2q = 120
q = 120/2
q = 60
Total surplus = 1/2 × (vertical intercept of the demand curve - marginal cost) × the quantiy of rounds.
Total surplus = 1/2 × (140 - 20) × 60
= 1/2 × 120 × 60
= 3600
Therefore, the maximum membership fee will be = $3600.
If the firm charge Joe a single price , then the rounds provided will be such that MR = MC
Total revenue = price × quantity
TR = (140 - 2q) × q
TR = 140q - 2q²
MR = dTR/dQ = 140 - 4q
We then equate MR = MC
140 - 4q = 20
4q = 140 - 20
4q = 120
q = 120/4
q = 30
P = 140 - 2q
P = 140 - (2 × 30)
P = 140 - 60
P = 80
Therefore, the profit if a single price is charge will be:
= TR - TC = pq - MC×q = (P-MC)×Q
= (80-20) × 30
= $1800
Therefore, the increase in the profit by two-par pricing will be:
=Membership fee - Profit of single price charge
= $3600 - $1800
= $1800

Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
Answer: 1. 12. 2. 1.090. 3. 0.08327
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
friend and fellow student shares her employment experience over the last 12-week summer break. It took her one full week to find a job. She started on the first day of week two and was able to keep her job for the remaining eleven weeks. Use this information to answer the following three questions, assuming the unemployment rate is not changing:
1. Calculate the rate of job finding (f) for the summer, using an average rate per week. Enter this value in the box below. Note that if f is the rate of job finding, then the average spell of unemployment is (1/f).
The value of f is:
2. Calculate the rate of job separation (s), using an average rate per week. Enter this value into the box below. Note that if s is the rate of job separation, then the average length of employment is (1/s).
The value of s is:
3. Calculate the natural rate of unemployment (U) using the above results and enter this value in the box below.
The natural rate of unemployment (in percent) is
1. From the question, we can see that it was said that took her one full week to get a job over the last 12 week summer break. The unemployment rate will be 12.
The value of f is: 12
2. From the question, the average length of the employment is 11/12 weeks. The rate of job separation will be: s = 12weeks ÷ 11 weeks
s = 1.090
The value of s is: 1.090
3. The natural rate of unemployment will be:
U = s/(s+f)
= 1.090/(1.090 + 12)
= 1.090/13.090
= 0.08327
A country produces melons and wheat. 1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'. 2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'. 3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient. Label it 'BE'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
Answer:
1.) Using the 3-point curved line drawing tool, draw a representative PPC for this country. Label it 'PPC'.
I have attached a picture below. It shows a simple possibilities frontier for a country that can produce up to 16 units of melons and wheat.
2.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is efficient. Label it 'A'
Producition points that are efficient are any points on the curve. Producing 16 melons and 0 wheat is efficient because all economic resources are being used to produce the maximum amount of a good that is possible. Producing 8 melons, and 8 units of wheat is also efficient for the same reason.
3.) Using the point drawing tool, show a production point that is attainable but not efficient.
Any point inside the curve would be inefficient because resouces would be used to produce less than the maximum amount possible. For example, if 15 units of wheat are produced, but less than one unit of melon is produced, then, there is inefficiency, because 1 unit of melon should be produced in that case.

Arizona Crystal is a distributor of feldspar, amethyst and other mystically powerful types of crystals. The owner of Arizona Crystal, Geri Moonbeam, is proud to be a part of the movement that is contributing to the higher spirituality of the world. Geri buys crystals from local collectors and then ships them out to wholesalers throughout the country. Geri pays cash for the crystals, but she extends credit to the wholesalers. As the business has grown, problems have arisen. When Geri buys more crystals than she can sell, inventory increases and cash flow problems arise. When Geri doesn’t buy enough crystals, then she can’t fill orders and that creates problems with her customers. She needs to base her buying decisions on accurate forecasts of the demand for crystals so she can avoid these problems. After consulting her tarot cards, Geri visits a friend from El Paso, Texas, who channels for a Wall Street tycoon who didn’t survive the crash of 1929. He recommends that, since she only has twelve months of data, she should try using a moving average or exponential smoothing forecasting model. So Geri contacts you. She provides you with data on the number of crystals (in thousands) ordered during each of the past twelve months and asks you to help her develop a forecasting model. 8. Use a five period moving average model to forecast the demand in January of 1993. Also calculate the RMSE for this model. Use the table below to carry out your calculations. How does this model compare with the three period model? Month Demand (A) Demand (F) (A-F)2 Jan-92 25.6 Feb-92 24.7 Mar-92 21.3 Apr-92 13.9 May-92 12.6 Jun-92 18.0 Jul-92 21.5 Aug-92 22.3 Sep-92 30.7 Oct-92 15.0 Nov-92 13.8 Dec-92 22.6
Answer:
Explanation:
Month Demand (A) Demand (F) (A-F)²
Jan-92 25.6 - 0
Feb-92 24.7 - 0
Mar-92 21.3 - 0
Apr-92 13.9 - 0
May-92 12.6 19.62 49.28
Jun-92 18.0 18.1 0.01
Jul-92 21.5 17.46 16.32
Aug-92 22.3 17.66 21.53
Sep-92 30.7 21.02 93.7
Oct-92 15.0 21.5 42.25
Nov-92 13.8 20.66 47.06
Dec-92 22.6 20.88 29.58
The demand for january of 1993 is 20.88
RMSE² = 49.28+0.01+16.32+21.53+93.7+42.25+47.06+29.58
=299.73
[tex]=\frac{299.73}{12} \\\\= 24.98[/tex]
RMSE = √24.98
=4.99
The model has higher values of demand and RMSE than that of three month moving average model
Firms HD and LD are identical except for their level of debt and the interest rates they pay on debt—HD has more debt and pays a higher interest rate on that debt. Based on the data given below, what is the difference between the two firms' ROEs? Applicable to Both Firms Firm HD's Data Firm LD's Data Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30% EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10% Tax rate 35%
Answer:
2.41%
Explanation:
The difference between the two firms' ROEs is shown below:-
Particulars Firm HD Firm LD
Assets $200 Debt ratio 50% Debt ratio 30%
EBIT $40 Interest rate 12% Interest rate 10%
Tax rate 35%
Debt $100 $60
Interest $12 $6
($100 × 12%) ($60 × 10%)
Taxable income $28 $36
($40- $12) ($40 - $6)
Net income $18.2 $22.1
$28 × (1 - 0.35) $36 × (1 - 0.35)
Equity $100 $140
($200 - $100) ($200 - $60)
ROE 18.2% 15.79%
($18.2 ÷ $100) ($22.1 ÷ $140)
Taxable income = EBIT - Interest
Net income = Income - Taxable income
Equity = Assets - Debt
ROE = Net income ÷ Equity
Difference in ROE = ROE Firm HD - ROE Firm LD
= 18.2% - 15.79%
= 2.41%
So, for computing the difference between the two firms' ROEs we simply deduct the ROE firm LD from ROE firm HD.
Required: Using the adjusted trial balance on the next page for Buttross Manufacturing, Inc., prepare statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, in good form:
Part 1: Prepare a Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured
Part 2: Prepare a Multiple-Step Income Statement
Aside: The general ledger would usually include a factory overhead control account and the detail of factory overhead would be in a subsidiary ledger. However, the detail of factory overhead has been put into the adjusted trial balance mixed with the other accounts to make sure you can distinguish accounts going into cost of goods manufactured from those going into the income statement.
Find the given attachments for answer.
Note: The adjusted trial balance is added.
Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + COGM - Ending Finished Goods Inventory = 69,000 + 311,000 -100,000 = 280,000.
Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning finished goods inventory + COGM
COGS = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending finished goods inventory.
On average, 5% of credit sales has been uncollectible in the past. At year-end, before adjusting entries, the Accounts Receivable balance is $100,000 and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance is $500 (credit). Net credit sales during the year were $150,000. Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" is
Answer: $7500
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Accounts Receivable balance= $100,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $500
Net credit sales = $150,000.
Percentage-of-sales approach states that the amount of bad debt expense that is recognized by a company will be calculated as a percentage of the credit sales that are generated during the current accounting period.
Using the percentage of credit sales method, the ending balance in the "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" will be:
= Net credit sales × percentage of credit sales uncollected in the past
= $150,000 × 5%
= $150,000 × 0.05
= $7500
The common stock of Sweet Treats is selling for $45.65 per share. The company is expected to have an annual dividend increase of 2.6 percent indefinitely and pay a dividend of $3.30 in one year. What is the total return on this stock
Answer:
9.83%
Explanation:
The computation of the total return on the stock is shown below:
As we know that
Share price = Next year dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)
$45.65 = $3.30 ÷ (Required rate of return - 2.6%)
Let us assume the required rate of return be X
So,
$45.65 × X - 1.1869 = $3.30
$45.65 × X = $3.30 + $1.1869
So, the X is 9.83%
Hence, the total return on the stock is 9.83%

IN THE NEWS Treasury Prices Fall with Improved Expectations Expectations of accelerated economic growth continue to boost yields on Treasury securities. The price of the Treasury's 2.0 percent 10-year bond fell $17.43 yesterday, from $843.88 to $826.45. The decline in the price of the treasury pushed the yield up from 2.37 percent to 2.42 percent. The 30-year bond also declined, increasing the yield from 2.96 to 3.00. Source: Market reports of January 6, 2017, What would the yield be on the 2.0 percent, $1,000, 10-year Treasury bond if the market price of the bonds were Instructions: Round your responses to two decimal places.
a. $1,000?
b. $800?
c. $1,200?
Answer:
2%
2.5%
1.67%
Explanation:
The yield can be computed using the yield formula which coupon payment divided by price.
The coupon payment=face value*coupon rate
face value is $1000
coupon rate is 2%
coupon payment=2%*$1000=$20
when price is $1000:
yield =$20/$1000=2%
when price is $800
yield=$20/$800=2.5%
when price is $1,200
yield =$20/$1,200=1.67%
In essence ,the lower the price the higher the yield as lower amount is invested in order to receive the same amount of annual coupon of $20
The new growth theory states that A. technological advances are the responsibility of the government. B. the subsistence level income leads to technological advances. C. technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices. D. it is impossible to replicate production activities. E. technological advances are the result of random chance.
Answer:
C. technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices.
Explanation:
The new growth theory was developed by a man named med Paul Romer. This new growth theory stresses the role which is determined by human choices.
The new growth theory states that technological advances are the result of discoveries and choices, rather than random choices. It explains the fact that new innovations and technological advancement are not the result of random chance, but they occur as a result of humans and their desire for new innovations.
Therefore option C is correct
