For 2020, Ms. Deming earned wages totaling $225,000.
Required:
1. Calculate any 0.9 percent additional Medicare tax owed, assuming that Ms. Deming is single.
2. Calculate any 0.9 percent additional Medicare tax owed, assuming that Ms. Deming files a joint return with her husband who earned $100,000 of wages for 2019.
Answer:
Additional Medicare is charged on the wages that are higher than $200,000.
1. Medicare owed assuming Ms. Deming is single:
= (225,000 - 200,000) * 0.9%
= 25,000 * 0.9%
= $225
2. Medicare owed assuming Ms. Deming files a joint return with her husband.
When filed together, their wages would be considered jointly.
= ( (100,000 + 225,000) - 200,000) * 0.9%
= 125,000 * 0.9%
= $1,125
Gross Domestic Product is a ________measurement of standard of living because ________.
a. imperfect; not all important determinants of standard of living are incorporated
b. imperfect; all important determinants of standard of living are incorporated
c. perfect; all important determinants of standard of living are incorporated
d. perfect; not all important determinants of standard of living are incorporate
Answer: A. imperfect; not all important determinants of standard of living are incorporated.
Explanation:
The gross domestic product refers to the monetary value of the goods and the services which are produced in a nation.
Gross Domestic Product is an imperfect measurement as it excludes non-market transactions such as the activities of mothers etc. Also, it doesn't account for income inequality in the society. Therefore, not all the important determinants of standard of living are incorporated.
The US imposes a tariff on the import of a computer chip that is also produced at higher cost by a US firm. The US firm is an important supplier to the US Navy. The US is probably using the _____ argument for protectionism.
Answer: d. Strategic industry
Explanation:
Sometimes countries will introduce a tariff in order to reduce the importation of a good or service that might be ruled as important for the security of the country and so would need to be produced by a company in the country. Goods related to national defense are especially more likely to fall under such tariffs.
The industry is therefore said to be strategic. This is what happened in the scenario above because the chip is used by the U.S. Navy which makes it national defense related.
)An investor is trying to decide between a muni paying 5.75 percent or an equivalent taxablecorporate paying 8.25 percent. What is the minimum marginal tax rate the investor must have toconsider buying the municipal bond
Answer: 30.3%
Explanation:
Because taxes are not paid on municipal bond interest, their interest rates are usually lower with the difference accounting for the taxes paid.
For a municipal bond to be similar to a corporate bond, the tax rate must be such that it makes them equal:
Municipal bond return = Corporate bond return * (1 - tax rate)
5.75% = 8.25% * (1 - tax)
1 - tax rate = 5.75% / 8.25%
1 = 0.6969697 + Tax rate
Tax rate = 1 - 0.6969697
= 30.3%

, G's employees each earned an average of $870 per week. A total of 600 vacation weeks earned in 2021 were not taken during 2021. Wage rates for employees rose by an average of 6 percent by the time vacations actually were taken in 2022. What is the amount of G's 2022 salaries expense related to 2021 vacation tim
Answer:
$31,320
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of G's 2022 salaries expense related to 2021 vacation tim
G's employees earned average of $870 per week.
Total vacation week in 2021 wew not taken - 600 week
Total salary expense of G corporation = $870 per week × 600
Total salary expenses = $522,000
If Wage rates for employees rose by an average of 6 percent
The amount of G's 2022 salaries expense = Total salary expenses × wage rate
The amount of G's 2022 salaries expense = $522,000 × 6%
The amount of G's 2022 salaries expense = $31,320
Therefore the amount of G's 2022 salaries expense related to 2021 vacation tim is $31,320
Each of Professor A and Professor B at UTD has a private secretary, who can type four letters per hour. The letters are generated at a rate of three per hour by each of the two professors, who have been wondering if they would benefit from pooling the two secretaries. Perform a queuing analysis. What is the average waiting time of a letter in the system.
Answer:
Average waiting time = 7.5 minutes
Explanation:
UTD private secretary can type the number of letters = 4 per hour by each.
By professor, the letter generated = 3 per hour by each
Thus by pooling the average time will be the time that comes by dividing the one hour with total letters in an hour.
Use the below formula:
Average waiting time = Minutes in one hour / total letters
Average waiting time = 60 / 8
Average waiting time = 7.5 minutes
On September 1, 2021, Hiker Shoes issued a $100,000, 8-month, noninterest-bearing note. The loan was made by Second Commercial Bank where the stated discount rate is 11% Hiker's effective interest rate on this loan (rounded) is: ____________
Answer: 11.87%
Explanation:
Effective interest rate on this loan is:
= Interest payment / (Note - Interest payment) * 12/8 months
Interest payment:
= Note * Interest rate * 8/12 months
= 100,000 * 11% * 8/12
= $7,333
Effective interest:
= 7,333 / (100,000 - 7,333) * 12/8
= 11.87%
Alieia Boat Company manufactures 10 luxury yachts per month. A navigation system is included in each yacht. Alieia Boat manufactures the navigation system in-house but is considering the possibility of outsourcing this function. At present, the variable cost per unit is $300, and the fixed costs are $38,000 per month. If it outsources the security system, fixed costs could be reduced by half, and the vacant facilities could be rented out to earn $3000 per month of rental income. What is the maximum contract cost that Alieia should pay for outsourcing?
a) any cost lower than $2500 per unit
b) any cost lower than $2200 per unit
c) any cost lower than $300 per unit
d) any cost lower than $3800 per unit
Answer:
a) any cost lower than $2500 per unit
Explanation:
total avoidable costs = ($300 * 10) + ($38,000 / 2) + $3,000 = $25,000
total number of navigation systems prodcued per month = 10
avoidable cost per navigation system = $25,000 / 10 = $2,500
this means that th e comapny could pay up to $2,500 per navigtion system provided by an extrenal supplier
acc 430 Firm B, a calendar year, cash basis taxpayer, leases lawn and garden equipment. During December, it received the following cash payments. To what extent does each payment represent current taxable income to Firm B
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. Even though firm B received a cash of $522, only $22 which is the interest will be taxable as the $500 which is the principal isn't taxable.
b. Even though Firm B got $600 cash, there'll be no taxable income as the receipt brought about a liability. Hence, taxable income is 0.
c. Even though Firm B got $10000 cash, there'll be no taxable income as the receipt brought about a liability and the net worth wasn't increased. Hence, taxable income is 0.
d. The taxable income here will be $888.

Ajax, Inc., issued callable bonds with a par value of $1,000,000 that require the payment of a call premium of $10,000. The bonds have a carrying value of $990,000. We call these bonds prior to maturity on September 30.
Required:
Write down journal entry.
Answer: please see explanation column for answers.
Explanation:
The journal entry is as follows:
To record the bonds payable and retirement
Date Account titles and explanation Debit Credit
Sept 30, Bonds payable $1,000,000
Loss on bonds retirement $20,000
To Discount on bond $10,000
To cash $1,010,000
Calculation:
Loss on bonds retirement:Total Cash disbursements - carrying value
= (par value of the bonds+ call premium) -carrying value
= ($1,000,000 + $10,000) - $990,000
= $1,010,000 - $990,000
= $20,000
When interest is compounded continuously, the amount of money increases at a rate proportional to the amount S present at time t, that is, dS/dt=rS, where r is the annual rate of interest.
a) Find the amount of money accrued at the end of 5 years when $6000 is deposited in a savings account drawing 534% annual interest compounded continuously. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
b) In how many years will the initial sum deposited have doubled? (Round your answer to the nearest year.)
c) Use a calculator to compare the amount obtained in part a) with the amount S=6000(1+14(0.0575))5(4) that is accrued when interest is compounded quarterly. (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Given that;
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where;
P= $6000
r = 5 3/4%
t = 5 years
n= 1
A = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^5
A= $ 7935
b) What time will A become $12,000
12000 = 6000(1 + 0.0575)^t
12000/6000 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
2 = (1 + 0.0575)^t
Take logarithm of both sides
log2 = t log(1 + 0.0575)
t= log2/log(1 + 0.0575)
t= 0.3010/0.0243
t = 12 years
c) when compounded quarterly;
S= 6000(1 + 1/4(0.0575))^(5)(4)
S= $7982
The amount when interest is compounded quarterly is higher than when it is compounded annually because the interest increases as the number of compounding periods increases.
XYZ Confectionary has a number of store locations throughout North America. In income statements segmented by store, which of the following would be considered a common fixed cost with respect to the stores?
a. store manager salaries
b. store building depreciation expense
c. the cost of corporate advertising aired during the Super Bowl
d. cost of goods sold at each store
e. none of the above
Answer: c. the cost of corporate advertising aired during the Super Bowl
Explanation:
Commmon fixed cost simply means the cost that cannot be traced to a single department.
From the options given, it can be noted that the store manager salaries, store building depreciation expense and the cost of goods sold at each store can be identified separately for the stores.
On the other hand, the cost of corporate advertising aired during the Super Bowl is used for the promotion of the entire company, therefore, it's the common fixed cost.
Recently, Shandra purchased 5 movie DVDs and 12 three ring binders. What if the price of DVDs rose by $3 and the price of three ring binders declined by $2. With Shandra’s income unchanged and prices for other goods remaining the same, what actions would Shandra most likely take?
Answer:
1. She'll purchase less quantity of movie DVDs
2. She'll purchase more quantity of three-ring binders
Explanation:
INITIAL CASE:
Purchase: 5 DVDs and 12 Binders
Price of DVDs = x Price of Binders = y
NEW CASE:
Price of DVDs = $(x + 3) Price of Binders = $(y - 2)
Shandra's income is unchanged - it doesn't increase or fall in this period.
Prices of "other goods" is also constant - hence the decisions Shandra will make concerning quantity to purchase of DVDs & Binders, will solely be based on the new prices of the two items/commodities.
This clears the "ceteris paribus" assumption of the law of demand! All other things - income & prices of other goods - are already determined to be equal or constant.
In this case, the consumer, Shandra will purchase more of the good whose price has fallen and less of the good whose price has risen. Hence, the actions that Shandra would take are:
1. She'll purchase less quantity of movie DVDs
2. She'll purchase more quantity of three-ring binders
A public works department in a metropolitan area is looking into buying a major equipment to enhance productivity. The initial cost is estimated to be $600,000. It is projected that new equipment will help save $250,000 the first year and decrease gradually by $50,000 for the next four years. Determine the payback period for this equipment purchase.
Answer:
Public Works Department
The payback period for this equipment purchase is:
= 3 years.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Initial cost of new equipment = $600,000
Savings from the equipment:
Year 1 = $250,000
Year 2 = $200,000 ($250,000 - $50,000)
Year 3 = $150,000 ($200,000 - $50,000)
Year 4 = $100,000 ($150,000 - $50,000)
Year 5 = $50,000
Payback period:
Year 1 = $250,000
Year 2 = $450,000 ($250,000 + $200,000)
Year 3 = $600,000 ($450,000 + $150,000)
Staind, Inc., has 11 percent coupon bonds on the market that have 12 years left to maturity. The bonds make semiannual payments. If the YTM on these bonds is 11 percent, what is the current bond price
Answer: $1,000
Explanation:
When the coupon rate of a bond is the same as its yield, the price of the bond will be the face value of the bond regardless of the period of compounding or the number of years left to maturity.
As the face value of most bonds is usually $1,000, we can surmise that the price of Staind bonds is $1,000 because its coupon rate of 11% is the same as its yield.
A company estimates that the appropriate discount rate (i.e., the cost of capital) for Project A, Project B, Project C and Project D described below is 10 percent. Assuming that the projects are independent, which project(s) should the company accept?
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
b. Project B has an internal rate of return of 9.5 percent.
c. Project C requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and has a profitability index of 0.85
d. Project D requires an up-front expenditure of $200,000 and generates a net present value of negative $200
e. None of the projects above should be accepted.
Answer:
a. Project A requires an up-front expenditure of $1,000,000 and generates a net present value of $3,200.
Explanation:
a.
The company should accept project A because it provides a positive net present value of $3,200 that is the highest among all the projects.
b.
When the IRR of a project is lower than the required rate of return of the project, it will generate the negative net present value because at IRR the net present value of the project will be zero and at a higher rate than IRR it will be negative.
c.
The project with a profitability index of less than 1 generates a negative NPV because the present value of future cash flows is less than the initial cash outflow.
d.
Project D also generates a positive net present value but it is lower than project A. So, after comparing the results we will choose the project with higher NPV.
Inventory records for Dunbar Incorporated revealed the following: Date Transaction Number of Units Unit Cost Apr. 1 Beginning inventory 510 $ 2.38 Apr. 20 Purchase 370 2.63 Dunbar sold 650 units of inventory during the month. Ending inventory assuming weighted-average cost would be: (Round weighted-average unit cost to 4 decimal places and final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) Multiple Choice
Answer:
$572
Explanation:
The calculation of the ending inventory under weighted average cost is given below:
But before that the average cost per unit should be
= (510 × $2.38 + 370 × $2.63) ÷ (510 units + 370 units)
= ($1,213.80 + $973.10) ÷ (880 units)
= $2.4851
Now the ending inventory should be
= (510 + 370 - 650) × $2.4851
= $572
Omega Enterprises budgeted the following sales in units: January 40,000 February 30,000 March 50,000 Omega's policy is to have 30% of the following month's sales in inventory. On January 1, inventory equaled 8,000 units. February production in units is: a.36,000. b.40,000. c.20,000. d.28,000. e.26,500.
Answer:
a. 36,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what February production in units is:
Sales for the month 30,000
Add Ending inventory 15,000
(50,000*0.3)
Less Beginning inventory (9,000)
(30,000*0.3)
February production in units 36,000 units
Therefore February production in units is: 36,000 units
A machine cost $1,200,000, has annual depreciation of $200,000, and has accumulated depreciation of $950,000 on December 31, 2020. On April 1, 2021, when the machine has a fair value of $275,000, it is exchanged for a machine with a fair value of $1,350,000 and the proper amount of cash is paid. The exchange had commercial substance. The gain to be recorded on the exchange is
Answer: $1,350,000
Explanation:
If an exchange is said to have commercial substance, it means that the company will either record the asset received at its fair value and if this is not available, it will then record the value of the asset received at the fair value of the assets that were exchanged for it.
The fair value of the assets acquired are available in this instance so the machine will be recorded at its fair value of $1,350,000.

Explanation:
Synovec Co. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 24 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 7 percent thereafter. If the required return is 11 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.05, what is the current share price
Answer:
$84.18
Explanation:
The current share price can be determined using the two-stage dividend growth model.
In the two-stage dividend growth model, the first stage is characterised by high growth rate. In the second stage, the high growth rate falls to a steady or normal growth rate
dividend in Y1 = 2.05 x 1.24 = 2.54
dividend in Y2 = 2.05 x 1.24^2 = 3.15
dividend in Y3 = 2.05 x 1.24^3 = 3.91
Y3 = (3.91 X 1.07) / (0.11 - 0.07) = 104.59
Find the present value of these cash flows
(2.54 / 1.11) + (3.15 / 1.11²) + (3.91 / 1.11³) + (104.59/1.11³) = 84.18
In this type of budget, the master budget is based on a single prediction for sales volume, and the budgeted amount for each cost essentially assumes that a specific amount of sales will occur. Group of answer choices Flexible budget. Variable budget. Standard budget. Fixed budget.
Answer:
Fixed budget.
Explanation:
A fixed budget can be regarded as financial plan which is not been modified for any variations that could come up in actual activity. In most times some companies may have experience of substantial variations as regards their expected activity levels within the encompassed period of budget as well as the amounts in that budget. The budget cost allowances in a fixed budget for each cost item cannot be changed as regards the variable items. It should be noted that in Fixed budget the master budget is based on a single prediction for sales volume, and the budgeted amount for each cost essentially assumes that a specific amount of sales will occur.
Compute the amount of raw materials used during November if $32,000 of raw materials were purchased during the month and if the inventories were as follows:
Inventories Balance November 1 Balance November 30
Raw materials $7,800 $4,400
Work in process $6,400 $7,900
Finished goods $10,400 $12,400
a. $40,500.
b. $40,300.
c. $37,800.
d. $43,800.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchases= $32,000
Beginning inventory= $7,800
Ending inventory= $4,400
To calculate the direct material used, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Direct material used= 7,800 + 32,000 - 4,400
Direct material used= $35,400
For a certain item, the cost-minimizing order quantity obtained with the basic EOQ model is 350 units, and the total annual inventory (holding and order) cost is $1050. What is the inventory holding cost per unit per year for this item
Answer: $3 per unit per year
Explanation:
Inventory holding cost per unit for this item is:
= Total Annual inventory carrying cost / Average inventory
Total Annual inventory carrying cost = Total annual inventory / 2
= 1,050 / 2
= $525
Average inventory = EOQ / 2
= 350 / 2
= 175 units
Inventory holding cost per unit = 525 / 175
= $3 per unit
