On November 4, 2016, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2016 and 2017, respectively, Blue took $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i.e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year assets). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 cost recovery in 2016 and 2017, respectively. On January 1, 2018, the asset was sold for $180,000. Enter the values for each item below. If required, round all computations to the nearest dollar.a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $.b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Answer:
a. $191,818
b. $303
c. The loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.
Explanation:
a. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2017 is $
Asset cost = $200,000
Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $910
Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2017 = $7,272
Basis at the end of 2017 = Asset cost - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 - Greater of allowed and allowable cost recover in 2016 = $200,000 - $910 - $7,272 = $191,818
b. The cost recovery deduction for 2018 is $.
Cost recovery for 2018 = $200,000 * (0.5/12) * 3.636% = $303
c. The__________ on the sale of the asset in 2018 is $
Basis on date of sale = Basis at the end of 2017 - Cost recovery for 2018 = $191,515
Profit (Loss) on sale of asset = Sales proceed - Basis on date of sale = $180,000 − $191,515 = ($11,515) .
Therefore, the loss on the ale of the asset in 2018 is $11,515.

How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary
Answer:
$4,000 is treated as a capital gain and then reduced by the un-offset net losses in 2016 ($300) and 2017 ($100) to arrive at net capital gain of $3,600 ($4,000 - 300 - 100). $0 of the amount is treated as an ordinary income.
Explanation:
Section 1231 gain arises when an asset (real property or depreciable business property) is sold for more than its current tax basis. The gain is regarded as a capital gain and taxed at the lower capital gain rates and not as ordinary income.
Section 1231 property are assets used in trade or business and held by the Taxpayer for more than one year. A gain on the sale of Section 1231 business property is treated as a long-term capital gain.

You are an international shrimp trader. A food producer in the Czech Republic offers to pay you 2.3 million Czech koruna today in exchange for a year's supply of frozen shrimp. Your Thai supplier will provide you with the same supply for 2.8 million Thai baht today. If the current competitive market exchange rates are 25.49 koruna per dollar and 39.31 baht per dollar, what is the value of this deal?
Answer:
$19,002.77
Explanation:
The computation of the value of deal is shown below:
The value of the deal = Sales revenue - purchase cost
where,
Sales revenue is
= 2,300,000 ÷ 25.49 koruna per dollar
= $90,231.46
And, the purchase cost is
= 2,800,000 ÷ 39.31 baht per dollar
= $71,228.69
So, the value of the deal is
= $90,231.46 - $71,228.69
= $19,002.77
hence, the value of the deal is $19,002.77

CommercialServices Corporation provides business-to-business services on the Internet. Data concerning the most recent year appear below: Sales $ 3,000,000 Net operating income $ 150,000 Average operating assets $ 750,000 The following questions are to be considered independently. Garrison 16e Rechecks 2019-01-10 Required: 1. Compute the company's return on investment (ROI).
Answer:
The answer is 0.20 or 20%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The sales = $ 3,000,000
The Net operating income= $150,000
The Average operating assets =$ 750,000
The next step is to calculate the company return rate of investment
Thus,
The return of investment is stated as follows:
the return of investment = Net operating income divided by the average operating assets * 100
= $150,000/$750,000
= 0.2 * 100
= 20 %
Therefore, the company's ROI is 20%
Suppose that the standard deviation of returns for a single stock A is σA = 30%, and the standard deviation of the market return is σM = 10%. If the correlation between stock A and the market is rhoAM = 0.3, then the stock’s beta is . Is it reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns? Yes No
Answer:
The stock’s beta is 0.90
Is not reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns
Explanation:
In order to calculate the stock’s beta we would have to calculate the following formula:
Beta of stock = (standard deviation of stock A x correlation between stock A and market) / standard deviation of market
beta = (30% x 0.3) / 10% = 0.90
The market is assumed to have a beta of 0.90 and beta of a stock is the volatility of the stock in relation to the market. Since, stock A has beta equal to the market, its volatility will be correlated with the market. Therefore is not reasonable to expect that the volatility of the market portfolio’s future expected returns will be greater than the volatility of stock A’s returns

When a worker calls in sick, a temporary replacement is hired to operate his machine. During the week in which the replacement is working, scrap increases significantly, to the point that almost all points plotted on the control chart used to monitor the machine, fall well above the central tendency. Management is frustrated because it cannot understand why the process has deteriorated so rapidly. However, when the original worker returns, scrap decreases to the original level. Management is satisfied it has fixed the problem somehow once and for all although it doesn’t have any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred. According to Deming, this is an example of management: I incorrectly identifying common cause variation present as special cause variation. II under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring. III correctly identifying special cause variation. IV correctly identifying common cause.
Answer:
II. under controlling the process by not reacting to special cause variation occurring.
Explanation:
Note the fact that Edwards Deming see such a scenario as one that is not previously observed, but that could be reacted to.
The special cause variation in this scenario refers to the increase in scrap value significantly when a worker who falls sick was replaced by another to operate his machine. The negligence of Management is evident from the fact even after the original worker returns, and the scrap decreases to the original level, the Management feels satisfied it has fixed the problem without any idea how the high rate of scrap occurred.

Assume that Amazon.com has a stock-option plan for top management. Each stock option represents the right to purchase a share of Amazon $1 par value common stock in the future at a price equal to the fair value of the stock at the date of the grant. Amazon has 5,600 stock options outstanding, which were granted at the beginning of 2017. The following data relate to the option grant.
Exercise price for options $38
Market price at grant date (January 1, 2017) $38
Fair value of options at grant date (January 1, 2017) $6
Service period 5 years
A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017
C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
Answer:
See the journal entries and explanations below:
Explanation:
A. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the stock-option plan.
We first calculate the Compensation Expense as follows:
Compensation Expense = (Number stock options outstanding * Fair value of options at grant date) / Service period = (5,600 * $6) / 5 = $6,720.
Note: There is no journal entry for January 1, 2017.
The journal entry for December 31, 2017 is as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Dec. 2017 Compensation Expense 6,720
Paid-in Capital - Stock Options 6,720
To record compensation expenses for 2017.
B. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
We first calculate the following:
Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $38 = $26,600
Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700
Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $26,600 / 5 = $5,320
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Jan. '17 Unearned Compensation 26,600
Common stock 700
Paid-in Capital in excess of par 25,900
To record unearned compensation on January 2017.
01 Dec. '17 Compensation Expense 5,320
Unearned Compensation 5,320
To record compensation expenses for 2017.
C. Now assume that the market price of Amazon stock on the grant date was $46 per share. Prepare the journal entries for the first year of the plan assuming that, rather than options, 700 shares of restricted stock were granted at the beginning of 2017.
We first calculate the following:
Unearned Compensation at January 1, 2017 = Number of option * Exercise price = 700 * $46 = $32,200
Common stock at January 1, 2017 = Stock par value * Number of option = $1 * 700 = $700
Compensation Expense at December 31, 2017 = January 1, 2017 Unearned Compensation / Service period = $32,200 / 5 = $6,440
The journal entries will be as follows:
Date Details Dr ($) Cr ($)
31 Jan. '17 Unearned Compensation 32,200
Common stock 700
Paid-in Capital in excess of par 31,500
To record unearned compensation on January 2017.

Unearned Compensation 6,440
To record compensation expenses for 2017.
A mutual fund had NAV per share of $19.00 on January 1, 2016. On December 31 of the same year, the fund's NAV was $19.14. Income distributions were $0.57, and the fund had capital gain distributions of $1.12. Without considering taxes and transactions costs, what rate of return did an investor receive on the fund last year
Answer:
9.63%
Explanation:
Calculation of Mutual Fund rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year
Using this formula
Rate=(Fund's NAV -NAV per share +Income distributions+ Capital gain distributions )
Let plug in the formula
Where:
Fund's NAV =$19.14
NAV per share=$19.00
Income distributions=.57
Capital gain distributions =1.12
Hence
Rate =($19.14 - 19.00 + .57 + 1.12) / $19.00
=1.83/$19.00
=0.0963×100
Rate = 9.63%
Therefore without considering taxes and transactions costs, the rate of return that the investor receive on the fund last year will be 9.63%
The Callie Company has provided the following information: Operating expenses were $244,000; Cost of goods sold was $378,000; Net sales were $940,000; Interest expense was $47,000; Gain on sale of a building was $84,000; Income tax expense was $142,000. What was Callie's gross profit
Answer:
Callie's Gross Profit is $562000
Explanation:
Gross profit is the profit earned by a business after deducting the costs associated with producing or selling its goods (for manufacturing and trading businesses) or the costs associated with providing the services (for service businesses) from the net revenue.
It is the profit from the trading section of the business before deducting the operating and financing expenses of the business and before adding any other income.
The gross profit is simply calculated as follows,
Gross Profit = Net Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold
Callie's gross profit = 940000 - 378000
Callie's Gross Profit = 562000

1. Of the 4 strategic approaches to international markets, which one(s) might be the best for a manufacturing company? a financial services company? or a company like Coke or Pepsi? Thoughts? 2. What strategy option for entering a foreign market might you employ if your firm is technology-centric? 3. What strategy option for entering a foreign market might you use if you were a start-up or smaller firm? 4. Why is the Think Global- Act Local strategy appear to be the best for many companies wishing to go global?
Answer:
1a. For manufacturing company– Buying a local manufacturing company
b. For a financial services company– Partnership
c. A company like Coke or Pepsi– Greenfield Investments
Explanation:
1a. Buying a local company saves valuable resources for the foreign manufacturing, and it allows for quick market knowledge since this company has already been in operations for a long time.
b. A partnership would be best for a financial services company, this would involve a smooth transition into new markets without having to spend much on physical structures as the domestic company is already having necessary infrastructures in place.
c. Coke and Pepsi would preferably choose to use the Greenfield investment strategy by building a new plant from the ground up because of its established quality standards as well as trade mark and intellectual property protection.
2. A technology-centric firm would benefit most by buying a Company because of the already available market share as well as benefiting from reduced government regulations.
3. If one is operating a start-up or smaller firm of course cost would be a major consideration, therefore selling out License to foreign companies may be effective. This would transfer the rights to use a product or service in a different market geography.
4. It provides a good foresight into the requirements needed to enter foreign markets.

Which of the following is an example of peakminusload pricing? A. charging less for vacations to Hawaii during December and January B. setting price equal to marginal cost when there is a capacity constraint C. selling excess capacity at lower prices D. charging more for electricity on hot days
Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days.
Explanation:
This is a strategy that helps service providers in billing their customers when their in traffic on the usage of a particular service. This is charging higher of a certain service when their are a lot of users trying to be benefit or trying to use it at the same time. This can easily be seen in the case of utility usage amongst countries where this forms of billings are performed. That is why in the scenario above, the charging more for electricity on a hot day falls in place as the perfect option of peakminus loading price.
Answer:
D. charging more for electricity on hot days
Explanation:
Peak load pricing is charging more for a good or service when the demand for the good is higher.
During the hot weather, people would want to use fans and air conditioners, thus, the demand for electricity would be higher as people would need electricity to power these items. So increasing the price in the hurt weather is an example of peak load pricing.

Cooperton Mining just announced it will cut its dividend from $4.17 to $2.56 per share and use the extra funds to expand. Prior to the announcement, Cooperton's dividends were expected to grow at a 3.3 % rate, and its share price was $50.47. With the planned expansion, Cooperton's dividends are expected to grow at a 46% rate. What share price would you expect after the announcement? (Assume that the new expansion does not change Cooperton's risk). Is the expansion a good investment?
Answer: New share price= Price = $35.38. No, it's not a good investment
Explanation:
First, we have to calculate the cost of equity.
Price = Dividend/r - g
Dividend = $4.17 × (1 + 3.3%)
= $4.17 × (1 + 0.033)
= $4.17 × 1.033
= $4.30761
Price = Dividend/r - g
50.47 = 4.30761/r - 0.033
r - 0.033 = 4.30761/50.47
r - 0.033 = 0.08535
r = 0.08535 + 0.033
r = 0.11835
Now, we have to calculate the new price with dividend of $2.56 and g= 4.6%.
Price = Dividend/r - g
Price = 2.56/0.11835 - 0.046
Price = 2.56/0.07235
Price = $35.38
The expansion isn't a good investment because the stock price is s reduced from $50.47 to $35.38
Sink and Tap Inc. is looking at a 4-year project for making taps. Initial investment in equipment will be $754,000. Each unit will be sold for $230. Annual fixed costs, not including depreciation, will be $333,000. Variable costs per unit will be $102.40. The applicable discount rate is 12 percent, and the tax rate is 21 percent. Assume straight- line depreciation to zero and no market salvage value. Use goal seek (or any other method) to find the present value break-even point in units per year.
Select one:
a. 5340
b. 5930
c. 4848
d. 4680
e. 5200
Answer:
the present value break-even point in units per yea is 4680 units. the option (d) is correct
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The initial cash flow = $754,000
The project life is = four years
Thus,
Contribution = sales - variable costs
So,
Sales = quantity * the price
Let the Quantity be Y
$230 Y - $102.40 Y
=127.60 Y
Now,
The operating income = Contribution -fixed costs
which is,
127. 60 Y- (Other depreciation or decrease + decrease)
127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + ($754,000/4))
= 127. 60 Y- ( $333,000 + $188,500)
Thus,
127. 60 Y - $521, 500
Now,
Tax rate at 21% on operating income is =26.796 Y - 109. 515
The profit after tax = operating income - tax
(127. 60 Y - $521, 500) -(26.796 Y - 109. 515)
= 100.804 Y - 411, 985
Additional depreciation = $188, 500
The operating cash inflow per year = 100.804 Y - 411, 985 + $188, 500
Thus,
The PVAF for 12 years , 4% = 3.037349
PV of operational cash inflow = 306.18 Y - 678, 802.02
However,
For the break even point: the initaila cash flow = The PV of functioning or operational cash inflow
So,
306.18 Y - 678, 802.02 =$ 754,400
306.18 Y = 1, 432, 802.02
Y = 4680 Units
Required information The Foundational 15 [LO5-1, LO5-3, LO5-4, LO5-5, LO5-6, LO5-7, LO5-8] [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 20,000 Variable expenses 12,000 Contribution margin 8,000 Fixed expenses 6,000 Net operating income $ 2,000 Foundational 5-11 11. What is the margin of safety in dollars
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
Sales $20,000
Variable expenses $12,000
Contribution margin $8,000
Fixed expenses $6,000
Net operating income $2,000
margin of safety in $ = current sales level - break even point
margin of safety in % = (current sales level - break even point) / current sales level
first we need to calculate the contribution margin per unit = $20 - $12 = $8 per unit
break even point = fixed costs / contribution margin = $6,000 / $8 = 750 units
sales level at break even point = 750 x $20 = $15,000
margin of safety in $ = $20,000 - $15,000 = $5,000
margin of safety = ($20,000 - $15,000) / $20,000 = $5,000 / $20,000 = 25%

Answer: O the liability Unearned Revenue on its balance sheet.
Explanation:
Unearned Revenue is a liability that goes into the balance sheet to record the cash received for goods and/or services that the company have not delivered yet.
This is so that the company is not in violation of the Accrual Accounting concept known as the Revenue Recognition Principle that states that revenue should be recognised only in the period that they have been earned.
Microsoft in this scenario will record this cash as an Unearned Revenue and then consider it revenue when it has delivered the said goods and services.

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
Commercial Residential
Revenues $300,000 $480,000
Direct materials costs $30,000 $50,000
Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000
Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000
Operating income (loss) $85,000 $(20,000)
The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel $85,000 Hours of travel
Setup time 90,000 Number of setups
Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost
Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product
Commercial Residential
Scheduling and travel 750 500
Setup time 350 250
What should Peggy Kingman do?
Answer and Explanation:
The explanation is shown below:-
First we need to find out the activity based overhead rates
Activity Estimated overhead Basis Quantity Activity based
cost overhead rates
Travel
and Scheduling $85,000 Hours of 1,250 $68
travel (700 + 500)
Set up time $90,000 Number of 600 $150
setups (350 + 250)
Supervision $60,000 Direct labor $400,000 15%
cost ($100,000 + $300,000)
Now we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to commercial which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers assigned
Travel and
Scheduling $68 750 $51,000
Set up time $150 350 $52,500
Supervision 15% $100,000 $15,000
Total $118,500
For computing the overhead assigned we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
after this we need to find out the overhead cost assigned to residential which is shown below:-
Activity Activity based Actual allocation of Overhead
overhead rates cost drivers
Travel and
Scheduling $68 500 $34,000
Set up time $150 250 $37,500
Supervision 15% $300,000 $45,000
Total $116,500
For computing the overhead we simply multiply the activity based overhead rate with actual allocation of cost drivers.
Finally we need to find out the operating income or loss for the commercial and residual which is shown below:-
Particulars Commercial Residential
Sales revenue $300,000 $480,000
Less: Direct material cost $30,000 $50,000
Less: Direct labor cost $100,000 $300,000
Less: Overhead costs
assigned $118,500 $116,500
Operating income (loss) $51,500 $15,500
The Peggy Kingman should establish the cost to be assigned based on the product lines for overhead cost as the Peggy Kingman is more focused to the overhead cost which were based on the activity cost drivers. Moreover, it shows a profit earned on residential product line

In March of 2019, Thomas makes a $5,000 cash contribution to a public university. In that month, he also donates $20,000 to an organization subject to the 30 percent limitation. Thomas has adjusted gross income for 2019 of $30,000. What is the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction?
Answer:
The amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction is $14,000
Explanation:
In order to calculate the amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction we would have to calculate the following:
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =Cash contribution + [30% of adjusted gross income or actual property ,whichever is lower]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction = $5,000+ [(30%* $30,000) or $20,000 ,whichever is lower]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction =$5,000 [ $9,000 or $20,000]
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $5,000 + $9,000
amount of Thomas's 2019 charitable contribution deduction= $14,000
