Clark, a widower, maintains a household for himself and his two dependent preschool children. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Clark earned a salary of $32,000. He paid $3,600 to a housekeeper to care for his children in his home, and also paid $1,500 to a kiddie play camp for child care. He had no other income or expenses during 2020. Before considering any limitation due to tax liability, how much can Clark claim as a child and dependent care credit in 2020
Answer:
$,1,326
Explanation:
Calculation to determine how much can Clark claim as a child and dependent care credit in 2020
Using this formula
Amount to claim=Tax rate*(Housekeeper salary+ Amount paid to Kiddie play camp)
Let plug in the formula
Amount to claim=26% *($3,600 + $1,500)
Amount to claim=26%*$5,100
Amount to claim=$1,326
Therefore The amount that Clark can claim as a child and dependent care credit in 2020 is $1,326

Angela, Inc., holds a 90 percent interest in Corby Company. During 2020, Corby sold inventory costing $108,800 to Angela for $128,000. Of this inventory, $55,400 worth was not sold to outsiders until 2021. During 2021, Corby sold inventory costing $161,250 to Angela for $215,000. A total of $53,400 of this inventory was not sold to outsiders until 2022. In 2021, Angela reported separate net income of $216,000 while Corby's net income was $125,000 after excess amortizations. What is the noncontrolling interest in the 2021 income of the subsidiary
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the gross profit, which will be;
= $128,000 - $108,800
= $19,200
Then, the gross profit rate would be;
= Gross profit / Sales × 100
= ($19,200 / $128,000) × 100
= 15%
Unrealized profit on $55,400 will be
= 15% × $55,400
= $8,310
The unrealized profit for 2021 would be
= $215,000 - $161,250
= $53,750
Then, the gross profit rate would be
= (Gross profit / Sales) × 100
= ($53,750 / $215,000) / × 100
= 25%
Unrealized profit on $53,400 would be;
= 25% × $53,400
= $13,350
The non controlling interest in the 2021 income of the subsidiary will be
Income of Corby company = $125,000
Add: deferral of unrealized gross profit = $8,310
Less: unrealized profit on current year = ($13,350)
Adjusted income = $119,960
Non controlling interest at 10% would be;
= 10% × $119,960
= $11,996

A museum of natural history opened a gift shop that operates throughout the year. Top-selling product is a bird feeder. Annual demand for the bird feeder is 933 units. Cost per order is $55. Annual holding cost per unit is $19. Assuming that the shop uses the EOQ as the order size, what would be the total holding cost for the bird feeder
Answer:
$1396.5
Explanation:
EOQ or economic order quantity formula is given as:
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2DC_o}{H_c}}[/tex]
Where, D = demand per year
C_0 = ordering cost and H_c = holding cost per unit per year
[tex]EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2\times933\times55}{19}}[/tex]
EOQ= 73.5 units
Since, the order size is EOQ then, total holding cost
= holding cost per unit per year × EOQ
=73.5×19
=$1396.5

Eric works at an electronics store in a mall. Eric doesn't like to work hard, and it costs him $100 to do so. Eric's employer cannot observe whether Eric works hard. If Eric works hard, there is a 90% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day and a 10% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day. If Eric shirks, there is a 90% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $100 a day and a 10% probability that electronics goods profits will equal $400 a day. Suppose Eric is paid $200 if electronics goods profits are $400 a day and $50 if electronics goods profits are $100 a day. Eric will _____ because the net gain of _____ from shirking is _____ than the net gain of _____ from working hard.
Answer: work hard; $65; less; $85
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
The Expected profit from working hard will be:
= (90% × $200) + (10% × $50)
= (0.9 × $200) + (0.1 × $50)
= $180 + $5
= $185
Then, the profit will be the difference between revenue and coat which will be:
= $185 - $100
= $85
Then, the expected profit from shirking will be:
= (90% × $50) + (10% × $200)
= (0.90 × $50) + (0.10 × $200)
= $45 + $20
= $65
Then, the profit will be:
= $65 - $0
= $65
Eric will (work hard) because the net gain of ($65) from shirking is (less) than the net gain of ($85) from working hard.

d. Brand X's market share have to be 15.4% to generate a profit impact of $350,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Retail price of Brand X = $1.00
Units sold = 24% of 20 million = 4,800,000 units
Total sales revenue = $1.00 $4,800,000
Variable costs:
Manufacturing $0.09
Selling commision (10% of $1) $0.10
Other selling expense $0.02
Total variable costs per unit $0.21 $1,008,000
Contribution margin per unit $0.79 $3,782,000
Fixed costs:
Manufacturing $900,000
Advertising 500,000
Brand X manager's salary 35,000 $1,435,000
Net income = $2,347,000
Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit = $1,435,000/$0.79 = 1,816,456 units
The market share that Brand X needs to break-even
= 1,816,456/20,000,000
= 9.1%
Brand X's profit impact = 48.9% ($2,347,000/$4,800,000 * 100)
With increase in advertising budget to $1 million next year,
a. Units to break-even = $1,935,000/$0.79 = 2,449,367 units
b. Units to achieve same profit impact:
Sales increased by 15% (3/20 * 100)
Net income will increase to = $2,699,050 ($2,347,000 * 1.15) to make the same impact
Therefore, the units to achieve same profit impact = ($1,935,000 + $2,699,050)/$0.79
= $4,634,050/$0.79
= 5,865,886 units
Market share next year = 25.5% (5,865,886/23,000,000)
Market share to achieve $1 million profit impact
= (FC + Profit target)/$0.79
= $1,935,000 + $1,000,000)/$0.79
= $2,935,000/$0.79
= $3,715,190
= $3,715,190/$23,000,000 * 100 = 16.2%
Fixed costs = $1,435,000
Retailer's margin raise = 40% from 33%, a 21.2% increase or decrease in price
Therefore, the new selling price = $1.00 * (1 - 0.212) = $0.79
Variable cost = $0.21
Contribution margin = $0.58
To break-even, FC/Contribution margin per unit
= $1,435,000/$0.58
= 2,474,138 units
Break-even units to achieve profit of $2,347,000 = ($1,435,000 + $2,347,000)/$0.58
= 6,520,690 units
Sales = $5,151,345 (6,520,690 * $0.79)
Market sales revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)
= $5,151,345/$15,800,000 * 100
= 32.6%
Market impact of $350,000
Break-even units ($1,435,000 + $350,000)/$0.58
= 3,077,586 units
Sales revenue = $2,431,293 (3,077,586 * $0.79)
Market revenue = $15,800,000 (20,000,000 * $0.79)
Market share = $2,431,293/$15,800,000 * 100
= 15.4%

Nelson Won wants to withdraw $25,000 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 10% compounded annually
Answer:
Initial Investment= $94,769.7
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Annual payment (A)= $25,000
Interest rate (i)= 10%
Number of periods (n)= 5 years
To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:
PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}
PV= 25,000*{(1/0.1) - 1/[0.1*(1.1^5)]}
PV= $94,769.7

The coffee shop across the street from your tiny apartment is your haven away from home -- great beverages, healthy snacks, an atmosphere that is convivial but not so lively that you can't focus on homework, and free wifi. It lacks only one thing: some way to print out your homework and other files when you need hard copy. Your college's libraries and computer labs provide printers, but you live three miles from campus, and it's a long walk or an inconvenient bus ride.
Required:
Write a letter to the owner of the coffee shop, encouraging her to set up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Propose that the service run at break-even prices, just enough to pay for paper, ink cartridges, and the cost of the printer itself. The benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop. You might also mention that you had to take the bus to campus to print this letter, so you bought your afternoon late somewhere else.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Dear Mrs Parker,
I'm one of your numerous customers at your coffee shop and I must say it's really an amazing place and you're really doing a great job.
The purpose of writing this letter is to inform you about the few changes that you could make that'll bring further revenue to you and also be of immense benefit to your customers.
Firstly, I believe that you are aware that most of your customers are young people especially college students like myself. Printing out our school works and other printing works are really a challenge to us. There are no printing shops around and we've to take a bus back to the campus anytime we want to print and this is really costly and Tien consuming.
It'll be worth it if you consider setting up a printing service to complement the free wireless access. Apart from the fact that the printing service runs at break even price, the benefit to the shop would be enticing patrons to spend more time and therefore more of their coffee and tea money in the shop.
When the printing shop is opened, the college students among us will find it beneficial as we won't have to go back to the school campus in order to print.
Furthermore, when people come to the printing shop, they'll also realize that there's a coffee shop there as well, and this can bring about an increase in the demand for coffee which ultimately increases the revenue generated from the sale of coffee.
In conclusion, I hope this letter catches your attention which will be beneficial to everyone.

Answer: -36
Explanation:
The 2018 cash from financing activities for Grove Analytics will be calculated as:
Issued short term debt = 22 - 20 = 2
Add: Issued long term debt = 60 - 48 = 12
Less: Purchase of treasury stock = 10
Add: Issue of common stock = (40 - 13 - 25) = 2
Less: Dividend paid = (44 + 93 - 95) = 42
Net cash used by financing activities = -36
A company is considering issuing long-term debt. The debt would have a thirty-year maturity and a ten percent coupon rate. In order to sell the issue, the bonds must be underpriced at a discount of five percent of face value. In addition, the company would have to pay flotation costs of five percent of face value. The firm's tax rate is 21 percent. Given this information, the annualized after-tax cost of debt for the company would be ________.
Answer:
Find detailed explanations below
Explanation:
First and foremost, the issue price of the bond is the face value minus adjustments for discount and flotation costs
issue price=$1000*(1-5%-5%)
issue price=$900
semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate/2
semiannual coupon=$1000*10%/2
semiannual coupon=$50
number of semiannual coupons in 30 years=30*2=60
Using a financial calculator, pretax cost of debt is computed thus:
N=60(number of semiannual coupons)
PMT=50(semiannual coupon)
PV=-900(price)
FV=1000(face value)
CPT
I/Y=5.58%(semiannual yield)
annual yield=5.58%*2=11.16%
after-tax cost of debt=annual yield*(1-tax rate)
tax rate=21%
after-tax cost of debt=11.16%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=8.82%
Alternative approach
Yield to Maturity [YTM] = Coupon Amount + [(Par Value – Bond Price) / Maturity Years] / [(Par Value + Bond Price)/2]
semiannual YTM=50+(1000-900)/30/(1000+900)/2
semiannual YTM=(50+3.33)/950
semiannual YTM=5.61%
annual YTM=5.61%*2=11.22%
after-tax cost of debt=11.22%*(1-21%)
after-tax cost of debt=8.86%

What is the present value of 4360 to be received at the beginning of each of 30 periods discounted at 5% compound interest
Answer:
The right solution is "70375.08".
Explanation:
Given that,
Present value,
= 4360
Interest rate,
= 5%
Time period,
= 30
Now,
The present value of inflows will be:
= [tex](1+rate)\times \frac{Present \ value[1-(1+Interest \ rate)^{-time \ period}]}{rate}[/tex]
= [tex]1.05\times 4360\times \frac{[1-(1.05)^{-30}]}{0.05}[/tex]
= [tex]4360\times 16.1410736[/tex]
= [tex]70375.08[/tex]
Pransit, a truck driver, was involved in a truck collision with a passenger car driven by Sanjay. He sued Sanjay for negligence and Sanjay defended by claiming that Pransit was negligent in his driving. The jury heard both sides of the case and was instructed by the judge on the rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence. The jury verdict concluded that Pransit suffered $60,000 damages and Sanjay was 75% negligent and Pransit was 25% negligent in contributing to his own harm. Pransit will recover: A. $15,000. B. $45,000 C. $60,000 D. nothing.
Answer:
Pransit will recover:
B. $45,000
Explanation:
a) The rules of negligence and defense of pure comparative negligence will ensure that Pransit recovers some damages arising from the negligent deriving. However, the extent of the amount he will recover depends on the percentage of the defendant's fault. The implication is that Sanjay will be responsible for 75% of the damage while Pransit bears the remaining 25% (100% - 75%).
b) Amount of damages suffered by Pransit = $60,000
Percentage of Sanjay's negligence = 75%
Therefore, the damage liable to be paid by Sanjay to Pransit = $45,000 ($60,000 * 75%).
Swifty Company purchased a computer for $8,240 on January 1, 2019. Straight-line depreciation is used, based on a 5-year life and a $1,030 salvage value. On January 1, 2021, the estimates are revised. Swifty now feels the computer will be used until December 31, 2022, when it can be sold for $515. Compute the 2021 depreciation. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 45,892.) Depreciation expense, 2021 $enter depreciation expense for 2018 in dollars rounded to 0 decimal places
Answer:
Depreciation expense in 2021 =$2420.50
Depreciation expense in 2019 = $1442
Explanation:
The following steps would be taken to determine the answer
1. Calculate depreciation expense given the initial information
2. calculate the accumulated depreciation by the second year. Accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense
3. subtract the accumulated depreciation from the cost price of the asset. This would give the book value
4. calculate the depreciation expense using the new information and the book value
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($8,240 - $1030) / 5 = $1442
Accumulated depreciation by January 2021 = $1442 x 2 = $2884
Book value = $8,240 - $2884 = $5356
New useful life = 2 years
Salvage value = $515
Depreciation expense in 2021 = ($5356 - $515) / 2 = $2420.50
On January 1, 2021, Pine Corporation signed a five-year noncancelable lease for equipment. The terms of the lease called for Pine to make annual payments of $800,000 at the beginning of each year for five years beginning on January 1, 2021 with the title passing to Pine at the end of this period. The equipment has an estimated useful life of 7 years and no salvage value. Pine uses the straight- line method of depreciation for all of its fixed assets. Pine accordingly accounts for this lease transaction as a finance lease. The lease payments were determined to have a present value of $3,335,888 at an effective interest rate of 10%. In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of:______.
a. 333,589
b. 253,589
c. 466,411
d. 546,411
Answer:
b. 253,589
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows,
Present value of lease payment = $3,335,888
Payment in 2021 = $800,000
Interest rate = 10%
So, we can calculate the interest expense by using following formula,
Interest expense = (Present value of lease payment - Payment in 2021 ) × interest rate
Interest expense = ($3,335,888 - $800,000) × 10%
= $2,535,888 × 10%
= $253,588.8 or $253,589
In 2021, Pine should record interest expense of $253,589

Why wages differ
For each of the scenarios in the following table, indicate the most likely reason for the difference in earnings. Differences Differences in Human Capital Compensating in Natural Differential Labor
Scenario Ability Unions
1. A law firm hires Dina, a recent graduate from law school, and pays her an annual wage of $40,000. It also hires Ana, a second-year law student, and pays her an annual wage of $30,000. Dina and Ana were born in the same country, attended the same university, and studied in the same graduate program.
2. Major league soccer players earn more than minor league soccer players.
3. Three engineers have the same amount of schooling and work experience, but earn different wages. One is a computer engineer who designs and tests new computers for an annual wage of $55,000 per year. Another is a chemical engineer who works in a nuclear lab and performs experiments on radioactive materials for an annual wage of $70,000 per year. The third is a civil engineer who performs daily inspections of cables on a suspension bridge for an annual wage of $93,000 per year
Answer:
Differences in human capital
Differences in Natural Ability
Compensating differentials
Explanation:
Human capital is an example of an intangible asset. It is the economic value attached to labours' skills and expertise.
Qualities of human capital includes
• Education.
• on-the-job training.
• Hard work
• experience
• Mental and emotional well-being.
• People management.
• Communication skills.
In case 1, the law graduate is more educated than the student. thus, differences in human capital accounts for the pay difference
In case 2, the skills of the players differs and this accounts for pay differences
In case 3, pay differs by riskiness of the job. thus compensating differential is responsible for pay differences

2. Computation to determine the average product cost of one patio set.
Using this formula
Average product cost of one patio set =(Direct costs +Indirect costs)/Capacity set per year
Let plug in the formula
Average product cost of one patio set=($212,000+$94,000)/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set =$306,000/2,000 sets
Average product cost of one patio set = $153 per set
Therefore The Average product cost of one patio set will be $153 per set
3. In a situation were the production drops I Would expect the average product cost per set to INCREASE, reason been that the fixed costs would extend over few units which will inturn cause the average cost per unit to increase.
