Answer:
Their QBI deduction is $22,000
Explanation:
According to the given data Jason and Paula’s taxable income before the QBI deduction=$200,000.
Therefore,W2 wages/capital investment limitation is not applicable to them.
Jason’s QBI amt=$30,000 ($150,000 x 20%).
Paula’s QBI amount= $(8,000) [$(40,000) x 20%].
Therefore, Their combined qualified business income amount= [$30,000+$(8,000)]=$22,000
As this amount is less than the overall limitation based on modified taxable income ($200,000 x 20% = $40,000), their QBI deduction is $22,000
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
A)
Jason and Paula’s taxable income before the QBI deduction=$200,000. Therefore,W2 wages/capital investment limitation is not applicable to them.
Jason’s QBI amt=$30,000 ($150,000 x 20%).
Paula’s QBI amount= $(8,000) [$(40,000) x 20%]. Their combined qualified business income amount is $22,000 [$30,000+$(8,000)]. As this amount is less than the overall limitation based on modified taxable income ($200,000 x 20% = $40,000), their QBI deduction is $22,000.

P5-18 Calculating deposit needed. You put $10,000 in an account earning 5%. After 3 years, you make another deposit into the same account. Four years later (7 years after your original $10,000 deposit), the account balance is $20,000. What was the amount of the deposit at the end of year 3
Answer:
$4877.80
Explanation:
The computation of amount of the deposit at the end of year 3 is shown below:-
Future value = Present value × (1 + Rate of interest ÷ 100)^number of years
$20,000 = 10,000 × (1 + 5 ÷ 100)^7 + Deposit at end of year 3 × (1 + 5 ÷ 100)^4
$20,000 = 10,000 × (1.05)^7 + Deposit at end of year 3 × (1.05)^4
$20,000 = 14071.00423 + Deposit at end of year 3 × (1.05)^4
Deposit at end of year 3 = ($20,000 - 14071.00423 ) ÷ (1.05)^4
= $5928.995773 ÷ 1.21550625
= $4877.799496
or
= $4,877.80
We simply applied the above formula to find out the amount of deposit at the year 3 end
Wember Catering uses two measures of activity, jobs and meals, in the cost formulas in its budgets and performance reports. The cost formula for catering supplies is $400 per month plus $90 per job plus $10 per meal. A typical job involves serving a number of meals to guests at a corporate function or at a host's home. The company expected its activity in September to be 15 jobs and 145 meals, but the actual activity was 11 jobs and 142 meals. The actual cost for catering supplies in September was $2,710. The catering supplies in the planning budget for September would be closest to:
Answer:
The catering supplies in the planning budget for September would be closest to $3,200
Explanation:
In order to calculate the the catering supplies in the planning budget for September we would have to use the following formula:
catering supplies in the planning budget=The cost formula for catering supplies+cost per job×number of jobs+cost per meal×number of meals
catering supplies in the planning budget=($400+$90*15+145*$10) = $3,200
The catering supplies in the planning budget for September would be closest to $3,200

Inspection hours 2,000 16,000 18,000
Number of moves 180 120 300
First we find the rate by dividing the overhead costs with the corresponding cost driver as follows.
Overhead costs: Rate
Setting up equipment $240,000 = Setting up equipment / Number of setups=$240,000/100=2400
Moving materials 120,000 = Moving materials/Number of moves
120,000/300=400
Machine 200,000 = Machining/Machine hours
= 200,000/ 90,000=2.222
Inspecting 160,000 = Inspection/Inspection hours
= 160,000/18000= 8.89
Now we find the overhead applied to the scented cards by multiplying the rate to the corresponding overhead activity of the scented cards.
Activity Rate Scented Cards
Setups: 2400 2400*60=$ 144,000
Moving materials: 400 400*180= $72000

The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased. The variable overhead efficiency variance for February is:
Answer:
Variable overhead efficiency variance $1,680 Favorable
Explanation:
Variable overhead efficiency variance: Variable overhead efficiency variance aims to determine whether or not their exist savings or extra cost incurred on variable overhead as a result of workers being faster or slower that expected.
Since the variable overhead is charged using labour hours, any amount by which the actual labour hours differ from the standard allowable hours would result in a variance
Hours
5000 units should have taken (5000×0.5 hours) 2,500
but did take 2,080
Labour hours variance 420 favorable
Standard variable overhead rate ×$ 4.00 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance $1,680 Favorable
TechSolvers produces 8-foot USB cables. During the past year, the company purchased 500,000 feet of plastic-coated wire at a price of $0.25 per foot. The direct materials standard for the cables allows 8.5 feet of wire at a standard price of $0.23. During the year, the company used a total of 535,000 feet of wire to produce 63,000 8-foot cables. Calculate TechSolvers’ direct materials quantity variance for the year. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125. If variance is zero, select "Not Applicable" and enter 0 for the amounts.)
Answer:
$8050
Explanation:
The direct materials quantity variance is the difference between the standard cost and the actual quantity at standard price. This variance in quantity is as a result of the difference between the actual and expected quantity of materials used. The formula for direct materials quantity variance is given as:
Direct materials quantity variance = Standard Price x (Standard Quantity – Actual Quantity)
Given that: Standard Price = $0.23, Standard Quantity = 535000, Actual Quantity = 500000.
Direct materials quantity variance = $0.23 × (535000 - 500000) = $8050

Darrin’s Auto Northern Division is currently purchasing a part from an outside supplier. The company's Southern Division, which has no excess capacity, makes and sells this part for external customers at a variable cost of $15 and a selling price of $27. If Southern begins sales to Northern, it (1) will use the general transfer-pricing rule and (2) will be able to reduce variable cost on internal transfers by $3. On the basis of this information, Southern would establish a transfer price of:
Answer:
Transfer price = $24
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
The excess capacity of Company's Southern division is nill therefore for transferring the units the division will have to decrease its external sales.The Loss occurred due to reduction in external sales should be from inter divisional transfer price. Therefore,
Transfer price = variable cost + Loss of contribution
= ($15 - $3) + ($27 - $15)
= $24
Suppose the top five firms in a market have market shares of 23%,12%,8%, 7% and 5% respectively. The remaining 45 firms in the market each have a market share of 1%. Would the FTC be likely to approve a merger between the top two firms in this market?
Answer: Yes, The FTC will approve the merger.
Explanation:
The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is the common measure of market concentration used to determine market competitiveness. The HHI is calculated by the squaring of the market share of every firm competing in the market and then adding the resulting numbers
HHI (before the merger)
= 23² + 12² + 8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1²
= 529 + 144 + 64 + 49 + 25 + 45
= 856
HHI (after the merger) = (23 + 12)²
8² + 7² + 5² + 45 × 1² = 1408
Here, the market is less concentrated and the HHI is still below 1500 after the merger. Therefore, FTC will approve this merger. The answer is Yes.
Xerox Corporation is using a predetermined overhead rate of $22.30 per machine-hour that was based on estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead of $446,000 and 20,000 machine-hours for the period. The company incurred actual total fixed manufacturing overhead of $409,000 and 18,200 total machine-hours during the period. The amount of manufacturing overhead that would have been applied to all jobs during the period is closest to:
Answer:
$405,860
Explanation:
Data given
Predetermined overhead rate = $22.30
Actual machine hours = $18,200
The computation of manufacturing overhead applied is shown below:-
Manufacturing overhead applied = Predetermined overhead rate × Actual machine hours
= $22.30 × 182,00
= $405,860
Therefore for computing the manufacturing overhead applied we simply multiplied the predetermined overhead rate with actual machine hours.
Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $16 per unit and whose variable expense is $12 per unit. The company’s monthly fixed expense is $9,200. Required: 1. Calculate the company’s break-even point in unit sales. 2. Calculate the company’s break-even point in dollar sales. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) 3. If the company's fixed expenses increase by $600, what would become the new break-even point in unit sales? In dollar sales?
Answer:
1. 2,300 units
2. $36,800
3. $39,200
Explanation:
The computation of company’s break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)
= $9,200 ÷ ($16 - $12)
= $9,200 ÷ $4
= 2,300 units
2. The computation of break-even point in dollar sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= $2,300 × $16
= $36,800
Contribution Margin Ratio = (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit ) ÷ Sales Per Unit × 100)
= ($16 - $12) ÷ $16 × 100
= $4 ÷ $16 × 100
= 25%
Break Even Sales = Fixed Expenses ÷ Contribution Margin Ratio
= $9,200 ÷ 25%
= $36,800
3. The computation of new break-even point in unit sales is shown below:-
Break Even Point (Unit Sales) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin Per Unit
= Fixed Cost ÷ (Sales Price Per Unit - Variable Expense Per Unit)
= ($9,200 + $600) ÷ ($16 - $12)
= $9,800 ÷ $4
= 2,450 units
Break Even Point (Dollar Sales) = Break Even Units × Selling Price Per Unit
= 2,450 units × $16
= $39,200
Bedrock Company reported a December 31 ending inventory balance of $412,000. The following additional information is also available: The ending inventory balance of $412,000 included $73,200 of consigned inventory for which Bedrock was the consignor. The ending inventory balance of $412,000 included $24,400 of office supplies that were stored in the warehouse and were to be used by the company's supervisors and managers during the coming year. Based on this information, the correct balance for ending inventory on December 31 is: Multiple Choice $303,000 $358,400 $387,600 $338,600 $241,000
Answer:
Bedrock Company
Ending Inventory is $387,600.
Explanation:
The inventory already includes the consigned inventory. Since, Bedrock the consignor, its inclusion is correct. In consignment accounting, consigned inventory belongs to the consignor, who is the legal owner. The consignee is only in physical possession and not the legal owner.
The ending inventory should not include office supplies since they would be used during the coming year.

[10 points] Suppose Wilwaukee Telecom offers its users the option of paying either (a) $2.00 per minute for telephone service or (b) a $125 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Consider a customer with an annual demand for telephone service of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. Calculate the consumer surplus for each of the plans (a) and (b).
Answer:
For plan A, P = 2.
Then from demand curve, 2 = 11-.1Q
So .1Q = 9
Q* = 90
B) under plan b, P = zero
So make 11 = .1Q
Q* = 110
Now Consumer surplus from a)
CS = .5*(11-2)*90 = ∆ABC
= .5*9*90 = 405
From b)
CS = .5*11*110 - 125 = ∆ ADE - fixed fee
= 605-125 = 480
The I-75 Carpet Discount Store has an annual demand of 10,000 yards of super shag carpet. The annual carrying cost for a yard of carpet is $0.75 and the ordering cost is $150. The carpet manufacturer normally charges the store $8 per yard for the carpet.; however, the manufacturer has offered a discount price of $6.50 per yard if the store will order 5,000 yards. How much should the store order, and what will be the total inventory cost for that order quantity?
Answer:
5 units and $2,175
Explanation:
a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:
= [tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}[/tex]
=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{10,000}\times \text{\$150}}{\text{\$0.75}}[/tex]
= 2,000 units
The total cost of ordering cost and carrying cost equals to
= Annual ordering cost + Annual carrying cost
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $8 + 10,000 ÷ 2,000 × $150 + 2,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= 80,000 + $750 + $750
= $81,500
Now in case of ordering 5,000 yields at discount price of $6.50 the total cost is
= Purchase cost + Annual demand ÷ Economic order quantity × ordering cost per order + Economic order quantity ÷ 2 × carrying cost per unit
= 10,000 × $6.50 + 10,000 ÷ 5,000 × $150 + 5,000 ÷ 2 × $0.75
= $65,000 + 300 + $1,875
= $67,175
Therefore there will be 5 units should store at a time and cost of inventory is 300 + $1,875 = $2,175
In January 2020, Sunland Company, a newly formed company, issued 10300 shares of its $8 par common stock for $13 per share.

Initially the total stockholders' equity is $133,900 ($13*10,300) which comprised of $82,400 common stock ($8*10,300) $51,500 paid in capital in capital in excess of par value.
By repurchasing 1,030 treasury stock at $10,the total stockholders' equity decrease by $10,300,which leaves a balance of $123,600 ($133,900-$10,300).
In other words,the first option is the correct choice of answer
Consider two independent firms, BU1 and BU2, which transact with each other through spot market transactions in a competitive market. In a typical year, BU1 incurs total costs of $2 million in producing goods that BU2 buys. BU2 would be willing to pay up to $7.5 million for these goods, but because of the competitive market, ends up paying $5 million. What is the value captured by BU1 from these transactions?
Answer:
Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Explanation:
Given:
Two firm = BU1 , BU2
BU1 cost of production = $2 million
BU2 will able to pay up-to = $7.5 million
BU2 will pay = $5 million:
Find:
Value captured by BU1 = ?
Computation:
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = BU2 will able to pay up-to - BU1 cost of production
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $7.5 million - $2 million
⇒ Value captured by BU1 = $5.5 million
Based on the information given the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.
The value captured by the seller (BU1)
Seller value =Value BU1 is willing to sell -Value at which he sold
Where:
Value BU1 is willing to sell=$5 million
Value at which he sold=$2 million
Let plug in the formula
Seller value=$5 million-$2 million
Seller value= $3 million
Inconclusion the value captured by BU1 from these transactions is $3 million.

To bring the future benefits and costs of a project, measured by its cash flows, back to the present. d. To ensure that expected future profits exceed current profits today
Answer:
The correct answer to the following question will be Option C.
Explanation:
The time value of money seems to be the method used mostly for estimating the current value including all possible retained earnings. Those are classified underneath the strategies of capital budgeting.It's being used to know whether the project is feasible. It measures up the preliminary project expense to future revenues by reducing investment returns.The other available scenarios have no connection with the particular circumstance. So option C seems to be the correct answer to that.
A work center uses kanban containers that hold 200 parts. To produce enough parts to fill a container, 60 minutes of setup plus run time are needed. Moving the container to the next workstation, waiting time, processing time at the next work station, and return of the empty container take 120 minutes. There is an overall demand rate of 10 units per minute. Calculate the number of containers needed for this process.
Answer:
9 containers
Explanation:
Data given
Container holds (capacity) = 200 units
Demand rate per minute = 10 units
The computation of number of containers needed is shown below:-
Time to fill container = Setup time + Processing time
= 60 + 120
= 180 minutes
Number of containers (n) = (Demand × Time to fill container) ÷ Capacity of the container
= (10 × 180) ÷ 200
= 1,800 ÷ 200
= 9 containers
Therefore for computing the number of containers we simply applied the above formula.
The property appraisal district for Marin County has just installed new software to track residential market values for property tax computations. The manager wants to know the total equivalent cost of all future costs incurred when the three county judges agreed to purchase the software system. The system has an installation cost of $150,000 and an additional cost of $50,000 at year 10. The annual software maintenance cost is $5,000 for the first 4 years and $8,000 thereafter. If the new system will be used for the indefinite future, find the equivalent present value at a discount rate of 5%.
Answer:
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89
Explanation:
Equivalent annual cost = Present Value of cost / Annuity factor
Present value of cost:
PV of additional cost =50,000 ×1.05^(-10)=30,695.66
PV of maintenance cost
First four years= 5,000× (1-1.05^(-4))/0.05=17,729.75
From year 5 to infinity = (8,000/0.05)× 1.05^(-4)=131,632.39
PV of maintenance cost = 17,729.75 + 131,632.396= 149,362.14
PV of costs = 150,000 + 30,695.66 + 149,362.14= 330,057.8112
Annuity factor = 1/r = 1/0.05= 20
Equivalent annual cost = 330,057.8112 /20=$16,502.89
Equivalent annual cost = $16,502.89

PHAROAH COMPANY Adjusted Trial Balance January 31, 2022 Debit Credit Supplies $760 Prepaid Insurance 1,620 Salaries and Wages Payable $1,080 Unearned Service Revenue 780 Supplies Expense 870 Insurance Expense 540 Salaries and Wages Expense 1,770 Service Revenue 4,350 Prepare the closing entries at January 31, 2022. (If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
Answer and Explanation:
The closing entries are shown below:
1. Service revenue $4,350
To Income summary 4,350
(Being the closing of service revenue is recorded)
For recording this we debited the sales revenue as it has normal credit balance so to close it we debited it and credited the income summary
2. Income summary $3,180
To Supplies Expense $870
To Insurance Expense $540
To Salaries and Wages Expense $1,770
(Being the closing of all expenses is recorded)
For recording this we debited the income summary and credited all expenses as it has normal debit balance so to close it we credited it
3. Income summary $1,170 ($4,350 - $3,180)
To Retained earnings $1,170
(Being the net income or loss is closed)
Since the revenue is more than the expenses so it would leads to net income and for recording this we debited the income summary and credited the retained earning so that the closing of the net income is recorded

Assess the benefits and drawbacks of the high-speed rail project. In your opinion, do benefits outweigh drawbacks, or vice versa? Why? Justify your answer. What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now? Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative? In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project? Why are they important?
Answer:
The benefits of a High Speed Rail in California:
It becomes a feasible alternative to air travel, because it can be either cheaper, or even faster, since passengers do not have to spend as much time on a train station as they do on an airport.If demand is high enough, state highways can become less congested, because many people who would otherwise travel by car, would take a high speed train instead.Because the trains are electric, they are likely to help reduce pollution.The cons would be:
We cannot know for sure how many people would take the high speed trains. Demand could not be high enough to justify the cost.The line would be very costly.It could end up benefit only a small section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.I believe that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, as can be seen in most countries where high speed lines have been made between large cities. For example, in Spain, the line between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. The same would likely happen for a line between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
What are the implications of starting a project based on tenuous projections that may or may not come true 10 years from now?
If demand projections are tenous, there is always the possiblity that the high speed line could not be profitable. However, this risk can be lowered if the line is made between highly populated cities.
Could you justify the California high-speed rail project from the perspective of a massive public works initiative?
Yes, a high speed rail would be a project that could massively impact California. The benefits of its operation could outweight the cost.
In other words, what other factors enter into the decision of whether to pursue a high-speed rail project?
As I said before, the most important factor is to construct line between highly populated cities in order to reduce the risk of not having enough demand. It has been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that high speed lines that connect very populated regions, can be profitable.
The benefits of a High Speed confine California:
It becomes a feasible alternative to air, because it may be either cheaper, or perhaps faster since passengers don't must spend the maximum amount of time on a railroad terminal as they are doing at an airport.
High Speed Demand of CaliforniaIf demand is high enough, state highways can abate congested, because many of us who would otherwise locomote car, would take a high-speed train instead.
Because the trains are electric, they're likely to assist reduce pollution.
The cons would be: We cannot know obviously what percentage of people would take the high-speed trains. Demand couldn't be high enough to justify the price.
The line would be very costly.
It could find yourself benefit only a little section of the population who would take the trains, or who travel often.
I believe that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks, as are often seen in most countries where high-speed lines are made between large cities. for instance, in Spain, the road between Madrid and Barcelona is profitable. the identical would likely happen for a line between l. a. and urban center.
If demand projections are tenuous, there's always the possibility that the high-speed line couldn't be profitable. However, this risk will be lowered if the road is formed between highly populated cities.
Yes, a high-speed rail would be a project that might massively impact California. the advantages of its operation could out weight the value.
As I said before, the foremost important factor is to construct a line between highly populated cities to cut back the danger of not having enough demand. it's been demonstrated around the world, in Spain, in Italy, in Japan, in China, that top speed lines that connect very populated regions may be profitable.

Answer:
119.4% for 2017 and 100.0% for 2016.
Explanation:
2017 2016
Net sales $276,200 $231,400
Cost of goods sold $151,900 $129,590
Operating expenses $55,240 $53,240
Net earnings $27,820 $19,820
since we are using 2016 as a base year, the $231,400 in net sales represent 100%, so the trend percentage for 2017 = net sales 2017 / net sales 2016 $276,200 / $231,400 = 1.1936 = 119.4% or a 19.4% increase.
The base year's amount will always be 100% or 1, and the trend percentages will change relative to that year.
