Copper Corporation, a calendar year C corporation, owns stock in Bronze Corporation and has net operating income of $900,000 for the current year. Bronze Corporation pays Copper a dividend of $150,000. What amount of dividends received deduction may Copper claim if it owns 85% of Bronze stock (and the two corporations are members of the same affiliated group)? (Assume Copper's dividends received deduction is not limited by its taxable income.)
Answer:
$150,000
Explanation:
Copper Corporation
The amount of dividends received deduction will tend to depends upon the ownership percentage by the corporate shareholder.
Therefore in a situation where Copper Corporation is said to owns only 85% of what Bronze Corporation had, Copper Corporation definitely qualify for a percentage of 100 deduction or a total amount of $150,000.if we have to based on the above information given because Bronze Corporation pays Copper Corporation a dividend of $150,000.

John was driving his car in a careless way, failing to drive as a reasonably prudent person would under the driving conditions. Ramona was crossing the street in a careless way, failing to cross as a reasonably prudent person would. John struck and injured Ramona with the car John was driving. At trial, it was determined that John was 80 percent at fault and that Ramona was 20 percent at fault. The injuries sustained amounted to $100,000. Explain how much, if any, recovery Ramona would receive in a state that applies the contributory negligence rule. Do the same thing for a state that applies the comparative negligence rule
Answer:
1. If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.
2. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000
Explanation:
In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.
If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained.
In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.
If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John
this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to $80,000
Cash flows of two mutually exclusive projects are as follows. Project A costs $80,000 initially and will have a $15,000 salvage value after 3 years. The operating cost with this method will be $30,000 per year. Project B has initial cost of $120,000, an operating cost of $8,000 per year, and a $40,000 salvage value after its 3-year life. Assume the interest rate is 10% per year. Which of the following statements is true?A. Two projects have different life cycleB. Project A should be selected.C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17.D. The present worth of project B is -$109,842.22.
Answer:
C. The present worth of project A is -$143,252.17
Explanation:
Present worth can be calculated using a financial calculator
For method A ,
Cash flow in year 0 = $80,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $30,000
Cash flow in year 3 = $30,000 - $15,000 = $15,000
I = 10%
Present worth= $ 143,335.84
For method B,
Cash flow in year 0 = $120,000
Cash flow in year 1 and 2 = $8, 000
Cash flow in year 3 = $8,000 - $40,000 = $-32,000
I = 10%
Present worth = $130,157.78
Method b would is chosen because it worth less.
To find the present worth using a financial calacutor:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. What is his economic rent as a baseball player?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Economic rent is a payment to a factor of production that is in excess of the costs which are needed to bring the factor into production. It is the payment in excess of the opportunity cost.
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
Sean is a baseball player who earns $890,000 per year playing for team X. If he weren't playing baseball for team X, he would be playing baseball for team Y and earning $660,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $660,000
= $230,000
If he weren't playing baseball at all, he would be working as an accountant earning $90,000 per year. His economic rent in this case will be:
Economic rent = Present opportunity - opportunity cost.
= $890,000 - $90,000
= $800,000

Which of the following situations would preclude an accountant from issuing a review report on a company's financial statements in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and Review Services (SSARS)?
a. Finished-goods inventory does not include any overhead amounts.
b. The accountant was engaged to review only the balance sheet.
c. The owner of a company is the accountant's father.
d. Land has been recorded at appraisal value instead of historical cost.
Answer:
c. The owner of a company is the accountant's father.
Explanation:
Standard for Accounting and Review services (SSARS) is used for an entity that is not required to file financial statements with a regulatory body for sale of its securities in the public market.
It is concerned with unaudited financial statements and other unaudited information.
According to the SSARS when the accountant is exposed to bias by being related or having vested interest in the company he is precluded from issuing a review report on the companie's financial statements.
A company has invested $60,000 in machinery with a 5-year useful life. The machinery will have no salvage value, as the cost to remove it will equal its scrap value. The annual benefits from the machinery are $15,000. The firm has a tax rate of 45% and will use the sum-of-years.. digits depreciation, compute the after-tax rate of return. The company uses a MARR of 7%.
Answer:
19.7%
Explanation:
initial cost $60,000
depreciation expense:
5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 15
Year 1: 5/15 = 33% = $19,800
Year 2: 4/15 = 27% = $16,200
Year 3: 3/15 = 20% = $12,000
Year 4: 2/15 = 13% = $7,800
Year 5: 1/15 = 7% = $4,200
yearly benefits:
Year 1 = ($15,000 - $19,800) x 45% tax credit = $2,160 deferred tax benefit
Year 2 = ($15,000 - $16,200) x 45% tax credit = $540 deferred tax benefit
Year 3 = $15,000 - $12,000 = $3,000 ⇒ $1,350 in taxes are offset by the previous deferred tax benefits x 45% tax = $2,160 - $1,350 = $810 remaining tax benefits
Year 4 = $15,000 - $7,800 = $7,200 - $3,240 in taxes + $810 in deferred tax benefits = $4,770
Year 5 = ($15,000 - $4,200) x (1 - 45%) = $5,940
this investment yields 3 positive benefits during years 3-5, if we discount them to find the present value = $3,000/1.07 + $4,770/1.07² + $5,940/1.07³ = $2,803.74 + $4,166.30 + $4,848.81 = $11,818.85
after-tax rate of return = $11,818.85 / $60,000 = 19.7%
The text states, "Over sufficiently long time periods, net income equals cash inflows minus cash outflows, other than cash flows with owners." Demonstrate the accuracy of this statement in the following scenario: Two friends contributed $50,000 each to form a new business. The owners used the amounts contributed to purchase a machine for $100,000 cash. They estimated that the useful life of the machine was five years and the salvage value was $20,000. They rented out the machine to a customer for an annual rental of $25,000 a year for five years. Annual cash operating costs for insurance, taxes, and other items totaled $6,000 annually. At the end of the fifth year, the owners sold the equipment for $22,000, instead of the $20,000 salvage value initially estimated.

Which of the following is not an example of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy? a. the recessionary lag b. the data lag c. the legislative lag d. the transmission lag
Answer:
a. the recessionary lag
Explanation:
Fiscal policy in economics refers to the use of government expenditures (spending) and revenues (taxation) in order to influence macroeconomic conditions such as Aggregate Demand (AD), inflation, and employment within a country. Fiscal policy is in relation to the Keynesian macroeconomic theory by John Maynard Keynes.
Lag in economics can be defined as a measure of the time it takes to recognize economic conditions and how they're being responded to by the government (policy makers).
For instance, measuring the time between when a fiscal policy is implemented and when the people feel its impact in the society.
The recessionary lag is not an example of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy because after implementation, the next phase is for the people to feel the impact or effectiveness of the fiscal policy.
Examples of a "lag" that diminishes the potential impact of the use of fiscal policy are;
1. The data lag.
2. The legislative lag.
3. The transmission lag.
On January 1 of the current year, Jimmy's Sandwich Company, Inc. reported stockholders' equity totaling $122,500. During the current year, total revenues were $96,000 while total expenses were $85,500. Also, during the current year the business paid $20,000 to the stockholders. No other changes in equity occurred during the year. If, on December 31 of the current year, total assets are $196,000, the change in stockholders' equity during the year was:
Answer:
The multiple choices are:
A decrease of $9,500.
An increase of $9,500.
An increase of $30,500.
A decrease of $30,500.
An increase of 73,500.
The correct option is a decrease of $9,500
Explanation:
The changes in stockholders' equity is in the form of the difference between inflow to stockholders and outflow to stockholders.
Inflow to stockholders is the earnings attributable to them in form of net income while outflow is the dividends paid to them.
net income=revenues-expenses=$96,000-$85,500=$10,500
Dividends were paid to the tune of $20,000
change in stockholders' equity=$10,500-$20,000=-$9,500
In essence ,the opening balance of stockholders' equity went down by $9,500 since the net income generated of $10,500 was not enough to fund dividend payment

At Jose's Bakersfield Espresso, Jose charges $3.50 for an average cup of espresso. If his fixed cost (salary, insurance, etc.) are $100,000 a year, and the variable cost for each cup of espresso are $1.25.
A) State the total fixed cost
B) State the variable cost
C)State the price
D) Given the available data, at what quantity will Jose's Bakersfield Espresso break even?
Answer:
A. $100,000
B. $1.25 per unit
C. $3.5 per unit
D. Break even point = 44,444 units
Explanation:
Break even point denotes that level of sales at which total costs equal or even total revenues.
Contribution represents the sales revenue in excess of variable costs to cover up for fixed costs.
Break even point in units = [tex]\frac{Fixed\ Cost}{Contribution\ per\ unit}[/tex]
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
Contribution per unit = $3.50 - $1.25 = $2.25
Break even point = [tex]\frac{100,000}{2.25}[/tex] = 44,444 units approx.
An investor is deciding whether to build a retail store. If she invests in the store and it is successful, she expects a return of $100,000 in the first year. If the store is not successful, she will suffer a loss of $80,000. She guesses that the probability that the store will be a success is 0.6. To remove some of the uncertainty from this decision, the investor tries to establish more information, but this market research will cost $20,000. If she spends this money, she will have more confidence in her investment. There is a 0.6 probability that this information will be favorable; if it is, the likelihood that the store will be a success increases to 0.9. If the information is not favorable, the likelihood that the store will be a success reduces to only 0.2. Of course, she can elect to do nothing.
A) Draw the associated decision tree.
B) What do you recommend?
C) How much is the information worth?

-$80,000 0.05
-$100,000 0.00
A) What do you recommend, based on expected utility?
B) Is the investor a risk soeker or a risk avoider?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
expects a return of $100,000 in the first year
loss of $80,000
probability that the store will be a success is 0.6
research will cost $20,000
0.6 probability that this information will be favorable
store will be a success increases to 0.9
store will be a success reduces to only 0.2
a) Decision tree is attachedEMV= (payoff of first outcome) * (probability of first outcome) + (payoff of second outcome) * (probability of second outcome) + (payoff of third outcome) * (probability of third outcome)
EMV(node 1) = EMV(new store)
= ($100,000 * 0.6) + (-80,000 * 0.4)
=$28,000
EMV (node 2) = EMV (no store)
= $0
EMV (node 3) = EMV ( new store and favourable research)
= ($100,000 * 0.9) + (-80,000 * 0.1)
=$82,000
EMV (node 4) = EMV ( no store and favourable research)
= $0
EMV (node 5) = EMV ( new store and unfavourable research)
= ($100,000 * 0.2) + (-80,000 * 0.8)
= -$44,000
EMV (node 6) = EMV ( no new store and unfavourable research)
= $0
B) Here we compare EMV of not conducting the market research ans EMV of conducting the market research and the maximum EMV shall be taken for decision making
Here the EMV of conducting the market research is higher than not conductingHence, the investor can go to market research test. If result is positive, she can invest in the store, if negative she can stop the proposal.
Due to a recession, expected inflation this year is only 3.75%. However, the inflation rate in Year 2 and thereafter is expected to be constant at some level above 3.75%. Assume that the expectations theory holds and the real risk-free rate (r*) is 3.5%. If the yield on 3-year Treasury bonds equals the 1-year yield plus 0.5%, what inflation rate is expected after Year 1
Answer:
5.25%
Explanation:
To calculate the inflation for the year 3, we will have to calculate the yield on 1 Year treasury bond.
The yield is calculated using the following formula:
Nominal Yield on Bond = Real risk free rate + Inflation for the year
Here
Inflation for Year One is 3.75%
Real Risk-Free Rate is 3.5%
Nominal yield on bond is Y for year 1
By putting values, we have:
Y = 3.5% + 3.75% = 7.25%
For 3 years treasury bond,
Nominal Yield on Treasury Bond for 3 years = Yield on year 1 + Inflation
Y3 = 7.25% + 1.5% = 8.75 %
Now if we deduct the real risk free rate from the 3 year yield on the treasury bond, then the resultant rate would be the inflation rate for the year 3.
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = Y3 - Real Risk-Free Rate
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 8.75% - 3.5%
Inflation Rate for Year 3 = 5.25%
Perimeter, Inc. acquired 30 percent of South Co.’s (South) voting stock for $200,000 on January 1, 20X1. Perimeter’s 30 percent interest in South gave Perimeter the ability to exercise significant influence over South’s operating and financial policies. On that date, South reported assets of $500,000 and liabilities of $100,000. South had equipment with a book value of $60,000 that was actually worth $160,000. The equipment had a remaining useful life of five years. During 20X1, South reported net income of $80,000 and paid dividends of $50,000. What amount of income should Perimeter recognize in 20X1 as a result of this investment?
Answer:
$18,000
Explanation:
Required:
Find the amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of the investment.
Amount of income to be recognized should be calculated as:
Share of net income - Amortization of equipment in excess of book value
Where,
Share of net income = 30% of net income
= 30% × $80,000
= $24,000
Less: Amortization of equipment in excess of book value =
[tex] \frac{160,000 - 60,000}{5 yrs} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = \frac{100,000}{5} * 0.30 [/tex]
[tex] = 6,000 [/tex]
Therefore, amount of income to be recognized =
$24,000 - $6,000
= $18,000
Amount of income Perimeter recognizes in 20X1 as a result of this investment is $18,000

The graph shows excess demand. A graph titled Excess supply has quantity on the x-axis and price on the y-axis. A line with positive slope represents supply and a line with negative slope represents demand. The lines intersect at the point of equilibrium (p star, Q star). A point on the demand line is (P 2, quantity demanded) and a point on the supply line is (P 2, quantity supplied). Both points are lower than the point of equilibrium. Excess demand is indicated between the 2 points. Which needs to happen in order to stop disequilibrium from occurring? Q needs to be coordinated with supply. Q needs to be coordinated with demand. The price of goods needs to be increased. The price of goods needs to be decreased.
Answer:
The price of goods needs to be increased.
Explanation:
Excess demand occurs when the quantity demanded is higher than the quantity supplied. This happens when the price of the good is lower than the equilibrium price. This can happen naturally in the market, or can happen if the government imposes a binding price floor.
The best way to solve excess demand is to raise the price, in order to reach equilibrium. Once in equilibrium, the price will coordinate the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded so that they're roughly equal.
Association between the number of goods the producers wants to sell at a specific value to that of quantity the purchaser wants to buy is called demand and supply.
The correct answer is:
Option C. The cost of goods needs to be raised.
This can be explained as:
When there is more need for the product than it is supplied or created is excess demand.This problem arises when the value of the goods and commodities is lower.This can arise intrinsically or due to any trade or governmental policies.The excess demand can be solved by increasing the price of the product.Therefore, the price of the goods should be increased.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Change in consumer surplus = $1.85 - $2.8 = $-0.95
Please check the attached images for an explanation on how the answer was derived.
I hope my answer helps you
Answer: decreases by $0.95.
Explanation:
Allison $2 $1.5 $0.75
Bob $1.5 $1 $0.6
Charisse $0.75 $0.25 $0
so consumer surplus = willingness to pay - market price
market price before = $0.80
consumer surplus before = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus before = (1.2 + 0.7 + 0) + ( 0.7 + 0.2 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus before = 2.8
market price after = $1.05
consumer surplus after = Allison + Bob + Charisse
consumer surplus after = (0.95 + 0.45 + 0) + ( 0.45 + 0 + 0) + ( 0 + 0 + 0)
consumer surplus after = 1.85
NOW
consumer surplus before - consumer surplus after
2.8 - 1.85 = 0.95
therefore consumer surplus decreases by $0.95

The common stock of Buildwell Conservation & Construction Inc. (BCCI) has a beta of .9. The Treasury bill rate is 4%, and the market risk premium is estimated at 8%. BCCI’s capital structure is 30% debt, paying an interest rate of 5%, and 70% equity. The debt sells at par. Buildwell pays tax at 40%.
a. What is BCCI’s cost of equity capital? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place.)
Cost of equity capital %
b. What is its WACC? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places.)
WACC %
Answer:
Cost of equity is 11.2%
WACC is 8.74%
Explanation:
The formula for cost of equity is given below:
Cost of equity=risk free rate+(Beta *risk premium)
risk free rate is the treasury bill rate of 4%
Beta is 0.9
market risk premium is 8%
cost of equity=4%+(0.9*8%)=11.2%
WACC=Ke*E/V+Kd*D/V*(1-t)
Ke is the cost of equity of 11.2%
Kd is the cost of debt of 5%
t is the tax rate of 40% or 0.4
E is the equity weighting of 70% or 0.7
D is the debt weighting of 30% or 0.3
V is the E+D=0.7+0.3=1
WACC=11.20% *0.7/1+(5%*0.3/1*(1-0.4)
WACC=7.84% +0.90% =8.74%
Although the "Great Recession" that began in late 2007 ended officially in the summer of 2009, the U.S. economy had staged only a modest recovery as we moved through the middle of 2015. Some economists have pointed out that this is typical of a _____________ recession.
Answer: balance sheet
Explanation: The modest recovery of the U.S. economy after the Great Recession has been described by economists as typical of a balance sheet recession which is characterized by great savings, reduction in debts by individuals or companies collectively, as opposed to spending or investing which serve as stimulants for economies. This is usually attributed to high levels of private sector debts and as a result, there is general economic decline or slow growth.

American Corporation has the following financial information. Year 1 Year 2 Cash $ 202.95 $ 245.90 A/R 398.02 485.34 Inventory 785.12 648.54 If Year 1 is the base year, what is the percentage increase/decrease of each current asset amount
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Since Year 1 has been given as the base year, the percentage change will be:
(Year 2 - Year 1)/Year 1 × 100
Cash:
= (245.90 - 202.95)/202.95 × 100
= 42.95/202.95 × 100
= 0.21 × 100
= 21% Increase
A/R:
= (485.34 - 398.02)/398.02 × 100
= 87.32/398.02 × 100
= 0.22 × 100
= 22% Increase
Inventory:
= (648.54 - 785.12)/785.12 × 100
= -136.58/785.12 × 100
= -0.17 × 100
= 17% decrease
A company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. After producing 500 products, the company must stop production to replace a filter on the machine (the filter is replaced after producing every 500 products). The filter costs $50.00. What is the Total Cost Per Product
Answer:
Total Cost Per Product is $1.60
Explanation:
From the question the following information are derived:
Direct raw material cost per product = $1.50
The cost of the filter for producing 500 products = $50
Hence, the cost of the filter per product = $(50 / 500) = $0.10
In this question, No cost of labor is given, we can now decide the following
Total Cost per product = $(1.50 + 0.10)
= $1.60
Total Cost Per Product in this account is $1.60
If a company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. The Total Cost Per Product is $1.60.
Using this formula
Total cost per product=Direct raw material cost per product +( Filter costs/Production)
Where:
Direct raw material cost per product = $1.50
Costs of filter =$50
Production=500
Let plug in the formula
Total cost per product=$1.50+($50 / 500)
Total cost per product=$1.50+$0.10
Total cost per product=$1.60
Inconclusion if a company would like to produce 5000 products per week for 30 weeks. The Direct Material Cost for the raw materials used in the product is $1.50 per product. The Total Cost Per Product is $1.60.
