Explanation:
Share of ordinary income:
= (Ordinary income - Wages - Depreciation)/2
= (900,000 - 200,000 - 300,000)/2
= 400,000/2
= 200,000
Share of net short term capital gain
= (12,000 - 6,000) × 50%
= 6,000 × 0.5
= 3,000
Share of interest income
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000
Share of charitable contribution deduction
= 4000 × 50%
= 4000 × 0.5
= 2000

c. The performance of KW Steel worsened with the reinstatement of the LIFO reserves. Before the reinstatement, KW Steel was running closely behind its competitor, Waretown Steel. But after the reinstatement, Waretown gave KW Steel more gap in performance. This reinstatement shows that when the performances of two companies are compared based on different criteria, the financial analyst will likely arrive at a wrong conclusion.

Explanation:
Southwest Milling Co. purchased a front-end loader to move stacks of lumber. The loader had a list price of $140,000. The seller agreed to allow a 4 percent discount because Southwest Milling paid cash. Delivery terms were FOB shipping point. Transportation cost amounted to $1,200. Southwest Milling had to hire a specialist to calibrate the loader. The specialist’s fee was $1,800. The loader operator is paid an annual salary of $60,000. The cost of the company’s theft insurance policy increased by $800 per year as a result of acquiring the loader. The loader had a four-year useful life and an expected salvage value of $6,000.
Required:
a. Determine the amount to be capitalized in an asset account for the purchase of the loader.
b. Record the purchase in general journal format.
Answer:
137,400

Broussard is already at full capacity, so its assets must grow at the same rate as projected sales. At the end of 2019, current liabilities were $1.4 million, consisting of $450,000 of accounts payable, $500,000 of notes payable, and $450,000 of accruals. The after-tax profit margin is forecasted to be 4%, and the forecasted payout ratio is 45%. Use the AFN equation to forecast Broussard's additional funds needed for the coming year. Enter your answer in dollars. For example, an answer of $1.2 million should be entered as $1,200,000.
Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
Answer: $412,600
Explanation:
AFN = Increase in assets - Increase in Liabilities - Addition to Retained Earnings
Increase in Assets
= 5,000,000 * 15%
= $750,000
Increase in Liabilities
For liabilities use only the Accounts payable and Accruals.
= (450,000 + 450,000) * 15%
= $135,000
Additional to Retained Earnings
= After tax Profit * ( 1 - Payout ratio)
= (9,200,000 * 4%) * ( 1 - 45%)
= $202,400
= 750,000 - 135,000 - 202,400
= $412,600
when the fed acts as a lender of last resort like it did in the financial crisis of 2007, it is performing its role of
Answer: C: being the bankers' bank.
Explanation:
The Fed is the Central Bank system of the United States. This means that they have certain duties conferred on them in order to ensure that the financial system of the country does not fail.
One of those duties is to be the Bankers' Bank. This means that the Fed can loan money to Commercial banks just like how Commercial banks do to entities. In acting as the lender of last resort and loaning money to banks so that they could survive the 2007 Financial crises, the Fed was acting as the Bank for the banks.

A recent study revealed twenty percent (20%) of the island's 1,000,000 population exhibited an interest in owning a motorcycle. Of those interested, only fifty percent (50%) have the requisite income to purchase a Honda motorcycle. Three (3) Honda dealerships provide the island’s entire population with access to the defined market offer. However, twenty-five percent (25%) of the interested individuals with the requisite income and access to the defined market offer do not meet the island's minimum license age requirement of eighteen (18) years of age.Calculate the number, not percentage, of the people in each of the following levels of market definition. (Show calculations)a. Potential Marketb. Mass Marketc. Available Marketd. Qualified Available Market
Answer:
A
Potential market
Interested percentage of people x total population
1000000x20%
= 200000
B.
Mass market is potential market x those with requisite income in percentage
= 200000x50%
= 200000x0.5
= 100000
C
Available market is also mass market
= 100000
D.
Qualified market
Available market x minimum qualification in percentage
Percentage of Minimum qualification = 100 - 25%
= 75%
Qualified market = 100000x0.75

There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to find the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters...but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of 7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of 3mm.
[ Select] What is the Cpk of machine 1?
[Select] What is the Cpk of machine 2?
[ Select] If your goal is to be capable', what would you do?
[ Select] If (somehow) you could combine the best of both machines (the centering or average of machine 1 coupled with the constancy or standard deviation of machine 2, what would the Cpk be?
Answer:
Machine 1 = 0.092
Machine 2 = 0.111
Combined = 0.222
Explanation:
Given the following :
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 46 mm
Upper specification limit (USL) = 50 mm
MACHINE 1:
Mean 1 (m1) = 48
Standard deviation 1 (σ1) = 0.7
MACHINE 2:
Mean 2 (m2) = 47
Standard deviation 2 (σ2) = 0.3
Cpk formula:
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
USLcpk = (USL - m) / 3σ
LSLcpk = (m - LSL) / 3σ
FOR MACHINE 1:
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(7) = 0.0952
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(7) = 0.0952
Cpk = Min(0.952, 0.952) = 0.952
FOR MACHINE 2:
USLcpk = (50 - 47) / 3(3) = 0.333
LSLcpk = (47 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.111
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.333, 0.111) = 0.111
When combined :
Mean = 48
σ = 3
USLcpk = (50 - 48) / 3(3) = 0.222
LSLcpk = (48 - 46) / 3(3) = 0.222
Min(USLcpk, LSLcpk)
Cpk = Min(0.222, 0.222) = 0.222
Regency Inn leased a rental office in the lobby of its hotel to Americar, a car rental agency. Wagner rented a car from Americar, and while walking through the hotel parking lot to reach her rental car, she was robbed and raped. Wagner sued Regency Inn for damages, alleging that they maintained a public nuisance. A clause in the lease held that Americar was responsible to indemnify Regency Inn for any damages suffered due to the operation of the car rental agency. At the time of the assault on Wagner, Americar was a holdover tenant.
Can Regency Inn claim indemnification under these conditions? Wagner v. Regency Inn Corp., 463 N.W.2d 450 (1990).
Answer:
The court ruled against both Americar and Regency Inn, and then Regency Inn won its case against Americar. The nuisance case itself is pretty unpleasant, so it's not worth referring to it.
The fundamentals for the ruling against Americar were that they themselves had drafted the lease agreement and that the clause included in the lease agreement by which they agreed to indemnify Regency Inn was valid. The original lease term had already expired, but Americar continued to lease the offices on a monthly basis. Since they never left the place, the clauses in the original agreement were still valid even though the lease changed to a monthly basis. I.e. if you sign a lease contract and after the original contract is over, you continue to lease the same place, then the clauses from the original contract still apply.
The clause stated that Americar was liable for damages that took place on the leased premises or in their proximity, i.e. the area near their offices. The parking lot was considered to be in the proximity of Americar's offices.
Karen, an automobile mechanic employed by an auto dealership, is considering opening a fast-food franchise. If Karen decides not to acquire the fast-food franchise, any investigation expenses are:
Answer:
The right solution is "Not Deductible".
Explanation:
If everyone's investigation for a company or starting a company fails, costs classified into two broad categories besides you:
Unless you're a person and your effort to start a company isn't successful, there are 2 kinds of investments you have had in attempting to develop yourself in the company.The expenses clients used to have before you made an intention to open a particular business. These would be personal but non-deductible charges. They include other expenses incurred throughout a regular search for something like a company or equity investment opportunity or perhaps a thorough investigation into it. The expenditures you have in your effort to purchase or launch a particular venture. Such charges are capital expenditures, and that as a capital loss, you will subtract them.Since the mid-1980s, Disney's strategic planning group turned the company into a huge and diverse collection of media and entertainment businesses. The sprawling Disney grew to include everything from theme resorts and film studios to media networks, consumer products, and a cruise line. The newly transformed Disney company proved hard to manage and performed unevenly. Recently, Disney disbanded the centralized strategic planning unit, decentralizing its functions to Disney division managers. Since then, Disney's management has helped it perform strongly in a competitive marketplace. Suppose that one of Disney's business units is a chain of sound studios. The studios have low profit potential, and the chain commands a relatively small share of the market. On these grounds, Disney is considering whether to sell the chain.
Required:
What most strongly suggests that Disney should keep the chain instead?
Answer:
Explanation:
Based on this information I believe that the statement that strongly suggests this is that Disney's management has helped it perform strongly in a competitive marketplace. If the chain of sound studios only holds a relatively small share of the market, it means that the market is very competitive. Therefore, if the Management team has experience in helping such businesses thrive in these competitive marketplaces then they should wait and give it a chance to grow instead of selling. Growing a business takes time which is what Disney should give it by keeping the chain.

R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is running unusually high. The corporate tax rate is also high this year, but it is scheduled to decline significantly next year. In an effort to lower the current year's net income and to take advantage of the changing income tax rate, the president of R. J. Graziano Wholesale instructs the plant accountant to recommend to the purchasing department a large purchase of inventory for delivery 3 days before the end of the year. The price of the inventory to be purchased has doubled during the year, and the purchase will represent a major portion of the ending inventory value.
Required:
a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?
b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?
c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?
Answer:
a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?
The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.
Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.
b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?
If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with.

The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes the cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

University Printers has two service departments Maintenance and Personnel and two operating departments Printing and Developing. Management has decided to allocate maintenance costs on the basis of machine-hours in each department and personnel costs on the basis of labor-hours worked by the employees in each.
The following data appear in the company records for the current period:
Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing
Machine-hours ? 455 455 2,590
Labor-hours 315 ? 294 1,491
Department direct cost 11,000 $23,000 $25,000 $23,000
Required: Allocate the service department costs using the reciprocal method. Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
Answer:
Machine hour percentages -Allocation of Maintenance Costs
455 + 455 + 2,590 = 3,500 total machine hrs
Personnel = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Printing = 455 / 3,500 = 13%
Developing = 2,590 / 3,500 = 74%
Labor hr. percentages--Allocation of Personnel costs
315 + 294 + 1,491 = 2,100 total labor hrs.
Maintenance = 315 / 2,100 = 15%

Tasty Subs acquired a delivery truck on October 1, 2021, for $25,600. The company estimates a residual value of $1,600 and a six-year service life. Required: Calculate depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022, assuming a December 31 year-end.
Answer:
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Explanation:
Calculation for depreciation expense using the straight-line method for 2021 and 2022
Using this formula
Depreciation = ( Cost − Residual Value )/
Useful Life
Where,
Cost of Truck on October 1,2021= $25,600
Residual Value = $1,600
Useful life of truck = 6 years service life
Let plug in the formula
2021
Depreciation Expense = $25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years * 3/12
Depreciation Expense 2021= $1,000
Note October 1 to 31 December 2021 will give us 3 months
2022
Depreciation Expense=$25,600 - $1,600 / 6 years
Depreciation Expense 2022= $4,000
Therefore the Depreciation Expense for 2021 will be $1,000 while the Depreciation Expense for 2022 will be $4,000

Answer:
Throughout the clarification section following, the definition of the given query is explained.
Explanation:
Right, businesses face fierce competition through competitiveness throughout today's time, because it has become extremely necessary for organizations to develop a marketing campaign that makes companies contemplate consumer response.
After all, if any business marketing plan doesn't somehow anticipate competition reaction, then all these threats can occur:
Someone's brand sales should decline as consumers should choose the brand of their rivals. Your company's market position as well as business growth would decline as well as the brand's rivals will rise. Throughout the life cycle of the product, your company will hit the decline point. Your business's share price could decline.You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the ledger contains these selected balances at March 31, 2022.

Explanation:
#1 unearned revenue
The company should not recognize the summer-month occupancy as this occurs between April and June thereofre it is unearned The company has an obligation to perform. To give the rental space thus it is a liability not earnings.
#2 Supplies adjustment:
Jan 1st $4,600 - March 31st $530 = $4,070 supplies expense
#3 expired insurance:
value per month: $7,500 / 12 months = 625
month expired between Jan 1st and March 31st: 3
total value f expired insurance: $625 per month x 3 month = 1,875
#4 accured expenses concetps were incurred and we most recognize them
#5 each day $270 times 3 days accrued = 810 total wages accrued
#6 accrued interest expense: principal x rate x time
$21,000 x 0.08 x 3/12 = $420

connecting u dropped its price from $20 to $16 per gigabyte of data. Joe according to the midpoint formula, Connecting U reduced its price by what percentage?
Answer:
-$22.2
Explanation:
The computation of price by percentage is shown below:-
Price by percentage = (End price - Beginning price) ÷ (End price - Beginning price) ÷ 2 × 100
= ($16 - $20) ÷ ($16 - $20) ÷ 2 × 100
= -$4 ÷ $18 × 100
= -$400 ÷ $18
= -$22.2
So, we have applied the above formula.
And, the same is to be considered
Connecting u dropped price in percentage is 22.2%
Midpoint formula:Given that;
Old price = $20
New price = $16
Find:
Connecting u dropped price in percentage
Computation:
[tex]Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{\frac{16+20}{2} }]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{-4}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=22.2[/tex]

what will you use for banca/boat to move
Answer:
a paddle
Explanation:
Using a "paddle" is very important in order to move/propel a boat. Paddling creates a force which goes against the water. This force is faced by an opposite force that is equal and that which allows the boat to move forward.
So as you push the water asides, the boat accelerates. Such technique is deemed efficient when using the boat. Not following the proper technique will not move the boat.
In 2009, an 1893 Morgan silver dollar sold for $6,450. Required: What was the rate of return on this investment? (Do not include the percent sign (%). Enter rounded answer as directed, but do not use the rounded numbers in intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places (e.g., 32.16).)
Answer: 7.86%
Explanation:
Using the Future Value formula;
= Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
The question is looking for the rate so making that the subject would be;
Assuming the car was $1 in 1893,
And n = 2009 - 1893 = 116 years
FV = Amount * ( 1 + r)^n
( 1 + r)^n = FV/ Amount
1 ^n + r^n = FV / Amount
r = n√((FV/ Amount) / 1^n)
r = n√(FV/ Amount)
r = 116√(6,450/ 1)
= 1.07855
Subtract 1 for the percentage;
= 1.07855 - 1
= 7.86%
