Bramble Corp. purchased a truck at the beginning of 2020 for $109000. The truck is estimated to have a salvage value of $3700 and a useful life of 121000 miles. It was driven 21000 miles in 2020 and 29000 miles in 2021. What is the depreciation expense for 2021
Answers
Answer:
2020 = 18275.206
2021 = 25237.190
Explanation:
Cost of truck at beginning of 2020 = $109,000
Salvage value = $3700
Useful life = 121,000 miles
Miles driven in 2020 = 21000
Miles driven in 2021 = 29000
Depreciation expense 2020:
((Cost of asset - salvage value) / useful life) * miles driven in 2020
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 21000
0.8702479 * 21000 = 18275.206
Depreciation expense 2021:
((109,000 - 3700) / 121000) * 29000
= 25237.190

A layoff refers to the termination of an employment contract due to a shortage of work. Employers initiate layoffs. They may be a temporary suspension of employment or permanent termination.
Layoffs are not a result of an employee's fault or incompetency. They may be caused by declining revenue, some operations' shutdown, automation of processes, and outsourcing of some services.
Fidel's case was a layoff. There was no work available for him after his department was shutdown.

LaMount works for a company in downtown Chicago. The company encourages employees to use public transportation (to save the environment) by providing them with transit passes at a cost of $275 per month.
a. If LaMont receives one pass (worth $275) each month, how much of this benefit must he include in his gross income each year?
b. If the company provides each employee with $275 per month in parking benefits, how much of the parking benefit must LaMont include in his gross income each year?
Answers
Answer:
a. $60 per year
b. $60 per year
Explanation:
The IRS decide the limit for Employee Fringe Benefit every year. As per the Latest Statutory limit, we can generally exclude the value of Transportation benefits during 2020 from the Employee's wages up to $270 per month for combined commuter highway vehicle transportation and transit passes. In this case, since no year was mentioned in the question, it has been assumed as 2020.
a. The amount of transit pass benefit to be included in gross income each year is as follows:
Benefit included in gross income = Worth of pass - Slab rate
Benefit included in gross income = $275 - $270
Benefit included in gross income = $5 * 12 month
Benefit included in gross income = $60 per year
b. The amount of parking benefit that LaMont must include in his gross income each year is as follows
Parking benefit included in gross income = Parking benefit provided by the company - Slab rate
Parking benefit included in gross income = Worth of pass - Slab rate
Parking benefit included in gross income = $275 - $270
Parking benefit included in gross income = $5 * 12 month
Parking benefit included in gross income = $60 per year.

Divac’s preferred stock is $100 par, 8% stock. If the stock is liquidated or redeemed, stockholders are entitled to $120 per share. There are no dividends in arrears on the stock. The common stock has a par value of $10 per share. Assume that the common stockholders have a right to the total net income of $74,000.
Answers
Answer:
1. 59.21%
2. $15.98
Explanation:
Note: The table is attached as picture below
Required: "1. Determine the dividend payout ratio for the common stock 2. Determine the book value per share of Divac’s common stock."
1. Dividend Payout Ratio = Cash Dividend / Net Income * 100
Dividend Payout Ratio = 45,000 / 76,000 * 100
Dividend Payout Ratio = 59.21052631578947%
Dividend Payout Ratio = 59.21%
2. Number of Shares for Preferred Stock = Total Value of Preferred Stock / Par Value Per Share of Preferred Stock
Number of Shares for Preferred Stock = 110,000 /100
Number of Shares for Preferred Stock = 1,100
Liquidation Value of Preferred Stock = Number of Shares of Preferred Stock * Liquidation Price Per Share
Liquidation Value of Preferred Stock = 1,100 * 120
Liquidation Value of Preferred Stock = 132,000
Total Stockholders' Equity ′ = Preferred Stock + Paid in Capital Preferred + Common Stock + Paid in Capital Common + Retained Earnings
Total Stockholders' Equity = 110,000 + 55,000 + 500,000 + 50,000 + 216,000
Total Stockholders' Equity = 931,000
Net Assets Applicable to Common Stock = Total Stockholders' Equity - Liquidation Value of Preferred Stock
Net Assets Applicable to Common Stock = 931,000 - 132,000
Net Assets Applicable to Common Stock = 799,000
Number of Shares of Common Stock = Total Value of Common Stock / Par Value Per Share of Common Stock
Number of Shares of Common Stock = 500,000 / $10
Number of Shares of Common Stock = 50,000
Book Value Per Share = Net Assets Applicable to Common Stock / Number of Shares of Common Stock Net Assets Applicable to Common Stock
Book Value Per Share = 799,000 / 50,000
Book Value Per Share = $15.98
So therefore, the Book Value Per Share is $15.98 per share

Note that cash payable to bondholders semiannually( semiannual coupon payment) is the face value multiplied by the stated rate of 15% apportioned to reflect six-month payment rather than a whole year as computed below:
semiannual coupon payment=face value*coupon rate*6/12
face value=$25,000
coupon rate=15%
semiannual coupon payment=$25,000*15%*6/12
semiannual coupon payment=$1,875
Harvey rents his second home. During the year, Harvey reported a net loss of $45,000 from the rental. If Harvey is an active participant in the rental and his AGI is $80,800, how much of the loss can he deduct against ordinary income for the year
Answers
Answer:
$25,000
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that a net loss of the amount of $45,000 from the rental was reported which means that if his is an active participant in the rental and his Adjusted gross income (AGI) was the amount of $80,800 the amount of loss that he can deduct against ordinary income for the year will be $25,000 reason been that his Adjusted gross income (AGI) is less than $100,000 and secondly the standard maximum rental amount that will be deducted for Adjusted gross income (AGI) than is less than $100,000 is $25,000.
Your healthy 63-year-old neighbor is about to retire and comes to you for advice. From talking with her, you find out she was planning on taking all the money out of her company’s retirement plan and investing it in bond mutual funds and money market funds. What advice should you give her? Reilly, Frank K.; Brown, Keith C.. Investment Analysis and Portfolio Management (Text Only) (p. 56). Cengage Textbook. Kindle Edition.
Answers
Answer:
Both mutual funds and money market funds are similar in the sense that they pool money from several investors in a variety of instruments. The difference is that money market funds pool the money in very liquid, short-term securities, while mutual funds do the same but in less liquid, longer-term securities.
The 63-year-old neighbor should therefore split the money around 60/40, 60% of the funds for mutual funds, in order to have long-term security, and 40% in the money market funds, in order to have quick cash available when needed.

Your neighbor never mows his lawn. You don’t have any legal right to force him to mow, but the mess in his front yard is making your neighborhood unsightly and reducing the value of your house. The reduction in the value of your house is $5,000, and the value of his time to mow the lawn once a week is $1,000. Suppose you offer him a deal in which you pay him $3,000 to mow. How does this deal affect surplus?
Answers
Answer: The deal will have the effect of increasing both your surplus as well as your neighbor's
Explanation:
Assuming your neighbor accepts the deal, you would have paid $3,000 when in fact your house value had reduced by $5,000. This give you a surplus of $2,000 because you paid $2,000 less than the cost to you if your neighbor did not mow the lawn.
Your neighbor also makes a surplus because where normally it would cost them $1,000 to mow the lawn, they got $3,000. They also make a surplus of $2,000 over the cost to mow.

Answers
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the purchases for each month, we need to use the following formula:
Purchases (units)= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
January (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (140,000*0.3)= 42,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 122,000
Total cost= 122,000*4= $488,000
February (units):
Sales= 140,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (42,000)
Total number of units= 158,000
Total cost= 158,000*4= $632,000
March (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (200,000*0.3)= 60,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 200,000
Total cost= 200,000*4= $800,000
April (units):
Sales= 200,000
Desired ending inventory= (160,000*0.3)= 48,000
Beginning inventory= (60,000)
Total number of units= 188,000
Total cost= 188,000*4= $752,000
May (units):
Sales= 160,000
Desired ending inventory= (220,000*0.3)= 66,000
Beginning inventory= (48,000)
Total number of units= 178,000
Total cost= 178,000*4= $712,000

A project with a zero net present value indicates that it is acceptable. unacceptable. going to have an acceptable cash payback period. profitable.
Answers
Answer:
acceptable.
Explanation:
Project management can be defined as the process of designing, planning, developing, leading and execution of a project plan or activities using a set of skills, tools, knowledge, techniques and experience to achieve the set goals and objectives of creating a unique product or service.
Generally, projects are considered to be temporary because they usually have a start-time and an end-time to complete, execute or implement the project plan.
The net present value (NPV) of a project can be defined as the difference between present value of cash-inflow into a project and that of cash-outflow over a specific period of time. Thus, it is simply the value of all cash-flows for a project with respect to its life span.
A project with a zero net present value indicates that it is acceptable.
This ultimately implies that, investors and project managers are advised to only invest in projects that are having a positive net present value that is greater than or equal to zero.

Problems and Applications Q4 Suppose that the government imposes a tax on heating oil. True or False: The deadweight loss from this tax would likely be larger in the fifth year after it is imposed than in the first year as demand for heating oil becomes more elastic. True False The tax revenue collected from a tax on heating oil is likely to be in the first year after it is imposed than in the fifth year.
Answers
Answer:
TrueTrueExplanation:
The deadweight loss in the fifth year will indeed be higher in the fifth year than in the first because deadweight loss has been shown to increase with elasticity.
As demand becomes more elastic as a result of the oil becoming more expensive, tax revenue will decrease in future which means that tax revenue will be less in five years than in the first.

The net present value of the project is closest to:
Answers
Answer: $516
Explanation:
Net Present value is the present value of inflows less present value of outflows.
The project has annual inflows of $54,000 except in 4th year where it will have inflows of $65,000 because the salvage value will be added to the inflows.
Present value of inflows = 54,000/1.12 + 54,000/1.12² + 54,000/1.12³ + 65,000/1.12⁴
= $160,516
Net Present Value = 160,516 - 160,000

In examining investors’ preferences for dividends, it is useful to begin with the concept of dividend irrelevance. Dividend irrelevance suggests that in a world with no taxes or brokerage (or transaction) costs, firms and investors are indifferent to the paying or receiving of dividends. However, as these restrictions are relaxed, various factors suggest that firms should pursue high or low payouts. One such factor is:
Answers
Answer: Favor a high payout
Explanation:
Investors are allowed to exclude as much as 70% of dividend income from taxes. They will therefore demand a higher payout in terms of investment so that they make make more income after they exclude taxes.
For instance, assume investors had a choice between receiving $40 and $60 in dividends.
On $40, the non-taxable amount would be = 40 * 70% = $28
On $60, the non-taxable amount would be = 60 * 70% = $42
They will pick the higher payout of $60 in order to get more income after tax.

A Corporation produces shiny discs. A special order has been placed by the customer to Rick for 2,200 units of the shiny disc for $38 a unit. While the disc would be modified slightly for the special order, the normal unit product cost for each disc is $16.90:
Direct materials $ 4.60
Direct labor 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.60
Unit product cost $ 16.90
Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. The special order would have no effect on the company's total fixed manufacturing overhead costs.
The customer would like modifications made to each disc that would increase the variable costs by $1.90 per unit and that would require an investment of $16,000 in special equipment that would have no salvage value.
This special order would have no effect on Rick Corp.'s other sales. The company has enough spare capacity for producing the special order.
What would be the annual financial advantage (disadvantage) for Rick as a result of accepting this special order?
a) $40,760
b) $15,700
c) $2,000
d) $16,200

Special order for 2,200 units of shiny disc at $38 a unit
Normal product cost: Special order:
Direct materials $ 4.60 $ 4.60
Direct labor 4.00 4.00
Variable manufacturing overhead 1.70 1.70
Additional variable cost 1.90
Total variable costs $10.30 $12.20
Fixed manufacturing overhead 6.60 0
Investment in special equipment ($16,000/2,200) 7.273
Unit product cost $ 16.90 $19.473
Annual Financial Advantage (Disadvantage) for the special order:
Sales Revenue ($38 * 2,200) = $83,600
Variable costs ($12.20 * 2,200) 26,840
Contribution ($25.80 * 2,200) $56,760
Special equipment 16,000
Financial Advantage $40,760
