Corporation Q, a calendar year taxpayer, has incurred the following Section 1231 net gains and losses since its formation in 2016: 2016 2017 2018 Section 1231 gains $ 14,800 $ 5,700 0 Section 1231 losses (13,000 ) (9,000 ) $ (3,100 ) Net gain or (loss) $ 1,800 $ (3,300 ) $ (3,100 ) Required: In 2019, Corporation Q sold only one asset and recognized a $4,000 Section 1231 gain. How much of this gain is treated as capital gain, and how much is ordinary
Answer: $4,000 is ordinary income. No Capital gain
Explanation:
In 2017 and 2018, total Section 1231 losses are:
= 3,300 + 3,100
= $6,400
The Section 1231 gain in 2019 falls below the combined losses from the previous years of 2017 and 2018 so will not be counted as a capital gain as those losses are not yet being recaptured.
The entire $4,000 is therefore ordinary income.
Ben and Jerry were currently both producing at point A on their production possibilities frontier and then Ben decided he would be willing to trade 4 pounds of cones to get 2 pounds of ice cream from Jerry. If both decided to specialize in what they had a comparative advantage in and trade, the gains from trade would be a. 1 pound of cones for Ben and 1 pound of ice cream for Jerry. b. 1 pound of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry. c. 2 pounds of ice cream for Ben and 2 pounds of cones for Jerry. d. 2 pounds of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry.
Answer:
b. 1 pound of ice cream for Ben and 1 pound of cones for Jerry.
Explanation:
Ben and Jerry both produce ice cream. They can have comparative advantage with producing the specialized product. Ben can gain from the trade if it produces more of ice cream and less or no cones. Jerry would gain the comparative advantage if it would produce cones for the ice cream. Both of them can have comparative advantage by selling the specialized products to each other.
If GDP is confidently expected to grow at a rapid 4% rate this year, how do you predict investment spending will change? Is it likely to grow faster than, slower than, or at the same rate as GDP? Why? Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to by 4%. A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people optimistic, expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are eager to invest.
Answer:
Based on this expectation, investment spending is likely to increase by more than 4%.
A rapidly growing economy will generally make business people more optimistic, with higher expectations about potential future profits. As a result, they are more eager to invest.
Investment will increase higher than 4% because in a growing economy like this, people will be so optimistic that they would invest huge sums to capitalize on the growth and earn some returns.
This rate of increase would be greater than GDP because GDP is based on multiple factors including investment therefore those factors like government spending would have to increase as well.
If the GDP is expected to be increased by 4%, the investment spending are likely to be increased by more than 4%.
In the rapid growing economy the investors are generally more optimistic they have higher expectations about the future potential profit as a result they will be more eager to invest.
What is GDP?GDP or gross domestic product final value of goods and services produced which is the economy during a financial year. The GDP excludes the value of intermediate consumption to avoid the problem of double counting.
An increasing GDP positively effect the investment spending as the people in the economy are optimistic about the future profit and hence will be eager to invest huge sums to make bigger profits.
Therefore rate of increase in investment spending will we more than 4% when the rate of GDP increases by 4%.

g Equipment was purchased for $94700 on January 1, 2021. Freight charges amounted to $3800 and there was a cost of $12000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $25000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2022 if the straight-line method of depreciation is used
Answer:
$34,200
Explanation:
Calculation of total Cost of Equipment
Purchase Price $94700
Freight charges $3800
Foundation and Installation $12000
Total $110,500
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage Value / Useful Life
= ( $110,500 - $25000) / 5
= $17,100
Accumulated Depreciation = $17,100 x 2 = $34,200
Therefore,
the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2022 is $34,200.

Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (5 - 2.1)*56,100
Direct material price variance= $169,690 favorabe
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (8,840*4 - 36,450)*5
Direct material quantity variance= $5,450 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1.5*8,840 - 18,000)*10
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $47,400 unfavorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (10 - 8.2)*18,000
Direct labor rate variance= $32,400 favorable
Paparo Corporation has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system: Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity Assembly $ 794,300 47,000 machine-hours Processing orders $ 61,280 1,600 orders Inspection $ 109,681 1,430 inspection-hours Data concerning the company's product Q79Y appear below: Annual unit production and sales 500 Annual machine-hours 1,130 Annual number of orders 115 Annual inspection hours 20 Direct materials cost $ 42.00 per unit Direct labor cost $ 41.31 per unit According to the activity-based costing system, the average cost of product Q79Y is closest to:
Answer:
Unitary costs= $133.38
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the activities rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Assembly= 794,300 / 47,000= $16.9 per machine-hour
Processing orders= 61,280 / 1,600= $38.3 per order
Inspection= 109,681 / 1,430= $76.7 per inspection-hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Assembly= 16.9*1,130= 19,097
Processing orders= 38.3*115= 4,404.5
Inspection= 76.7*20= 1,534
Total allocated costs= $25,035.5
Finally, the unitary costs:
Unitary allocated costs= 25,035.5/500= $50.07
Unitary costs= 50.07 + 42 + 41.31
Unitary costs= $133.38

Calculate the EAR for First National Bank and First United Bank. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) As a potential borrower, which bank would you go to for a new loan
Answer:
13.92%
13.85%
Explanation:
Effective annual interest = (1 + periodic interest)^m - 1
m = number of compounding
Periodic interest = annual interest rate / number of compounding
(1 + 0.131/12)^12 - 1 = 13.92%
(1 + 0.134/2)^2 - 1 = 13.85%

Happy Lawn Company started a lawn services business on January 1, 20X1 (so all account balances were zero on January 1, 20X1). It sends invoices to its customers for lawn maintenance services at the end of each month, and expects the customer to pay within 30 days. All of these sales were made on credit. During 20X1, cash collected from its customers totaled $750,000 for services rendered during the year. At the end of 20X1, the Accounts Receivable for Happy Lawn had a balance of $60,000. After all write-offs but before the year-end adjusting entry, the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts had a debit balance of $4,000. Given the above information and considering the recording of Bad Debt Expense for the year, regardless of the method used to estimate bad debts, the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance for 20X1 will be: Multiple Choice

Given the above information and considering the recording of Bad Debt Expense for the year, regardless of the method used to estimate bad debts, the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance for 20X1 will be:
= $8,140.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total credit sales:
Cash collected from customers = $750,000
Accounts receivable balance 60,000
Write-off of debts 4,000
Total credit sales for the year $814,000
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 8,140 ($814,000 * 1%)
Bad Debts Expense = $12,140 ($8,140 + $4,000)
b) Since Happy Lawn is a new outfit, it does not have beginning balances of Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. With a debit balance of $4,000 in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts, signifying a write-off (contrary entry from the Accounts Receivable), the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts at year-end is expected to be equal to 1% of the credit sales. This will require a credit entry for Bad Debts Expense.

Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with four years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 11.00%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note: $746,617.36 $634,624.76 $470,368.94 $895,940.83
Answer:
Asset Price= $746,617.36
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Face value= $1,000,000
Coupon= 0.03/2= 0.015*1,000,000= $15,000
Number of periods= 2*4= 8 semesters
YTM= 0.11/2= 0.055
To calculate the price of the asset, we need to use the following formula:
Asset Price= cupon*{[1 - (1+i)^-n] / i} + [face value/(1+i)^n]
Asset Price= 15,000*{[1 - (1.055^-8) / 0.055} + [1,000,000 / (1.055^8)]
Asset Price= 95,018.49 + 651,598.87
Asset Price= $746,617.36

Explanation:
a disgruntled customer will tell how many people about their experience
Answer:
A disgruntled customer will tell 9 - 15 people about their experience.
Explanation:
According to a study carried out by the White House Office of Consumer Affairs, a dissatisfied consumer tells 9-15 people about their experience. However, with the advent of social media and the internet, this number can sky-rocket into thousands and possibly millions depending on how viral the complaint becomes.
This is the more reason why organizations should endeavor to provide good customer service so that their brand will not be dragged into the mud by disgruntled customers.
Multi-Level-Marketing is a quickly growing industry in the United States. Many men and women are deciding to work from home, selling various goods to their friends and family due to the convenience and possible salary that can be made. Multi-Level-Marketing consists of a hierarchy of workers and customers and is sometimes referred to as a pyramid scheme
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Multilevel marketing is a strategy that consists of creating a hierarchy of workers for product distribution, being very common companies of beauty products, essential oils, and other products that are easy to sell. The strategy works like this: the distributors buy the products of the companies to sell to the final customer, and thus they receive a percentage for the sale of the products. But there is a criticism about this strategy, which can be a pyramid scheme, when there is a greater intention of the company to recruit new distributors than to actually sell its products, because in a pyramid scheme the intention is always to profit to benefit those who are on the top. Generally, companies that operate in an illegal pyramid scheme have strong marketing aimed at recruiting people to purchase products for sale with promises of quick enrichment.

Now the restaurant owner receives some good news and some bad news. The good news is that his landlord has rescinded the rent increase. The bad news is that the price of salmon at the fish market has risen. This is a blow because his restaurant is called SALMON CITY because almost all of the items use salmon. The increase in the price of salmon: Hint: Think in terms of the relation between revenue and cost at the margin -- and its implications for firm behavior.a. will cause him to raise his price and reduce the number of meals that he servesb. will cause him to lower his price in order to raise revenuec. may cause the price he charges to rise or falld. will have no impact on the price that he charges or the number of customers that he serves
Answer: a. will cause him to raise his price and reduce the number of meals that he serves
Explanation:
The owner makes a lot of meals that rely on salmon. With salmon prices going up, he will have to pay more money to buy the salmon that he uses to prepare the meals.
This would reduce his profit margin. He will therefore have to increase the price at which he sells his meals so as to recuperate the increased costs. He will also reduce the number of meals he serves because he will have to buy less salmon so that he does not incur a larger cost.

Under an installment contract, a buyer can:
A. Reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure
B. Hold the seller in breach of the entire installment contract when a nonconforming installment substantially impairs the value of that
installment alone.
C. Reject an installment no matter how minor the nonconformance is
D. None of these answers
Answer:
A. Reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure.
Explanation:
A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.
There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, installment contract, etc.
Total installment price is the total amount a consumer or customer end up paying for goods and services.
Mathematically, it can be calculated by using the formula below;
Total Installment Price = ([Monthly payment] × [No. of payments] + Down payment)
Hence, you multiply the monthly revenue by the amount of payments and add it to the down the payment.
Under an installment contract, a buyer can reject an installment if the nonconformity substantially impairs the value of the installment without giving the seller an opportunity to cure. This is in accordance with the uniform commercial code (UCC).
The uniform commercial code (UCC) is a set of standardized business laws which are put in place for the regulation of financial contracts and commercial transactions used across different states in the United States of America.
There are special rules known as the special business standards that are set up by UCC governing the merchants and the sales of goods in the Article 2 of the uniform commercial code.
