Star Bhd is a leader in the marketing of premium heavy equipment in Malaysia and Brunei. The company offers full range of construction equipment and earth moving machinery such as backhoe loaders, dozers, wheel excavators and many more. On 5 October 2020, Earth Bhd purchased a wheel loader under hire purchase agreement from Star Bhd. The cash price of the loader was RM245,500 and the interest charged was 8% per annum. Earth Bhd paid 20% of the cash price as a deposit. The hire purchase period was 36 months and the instalments are paid at the end of each month starting from 31 October 2020. The depreciation charge is 10% per year. Both companies close their accounts on 31 December every year. Earth Bhd uses gross method to account for the hire purchase and employs sum-of-the-years digits (SYD) method to recognise the interest expense on the instalment payment date. In May 2021, Earth Bhd faced financial distress to pay the installment because many construction projects have been postponed due to Movement Control Order (MCO). The company was unable to pay the hire purchase instalments for May and June 2021. After sending "the notice of intention to repossess" to Earth Bhd, Star Bhd repossessed the machine on 3 August 2021 by incurring the repossession cost of RM1,500. The market price of the machine at the repossession date was RM75,000 and the selling cost was RM550. REQUIRED: (Round all numbers to the nearest RM and show details of workings) (a) Calculate the hire purchase price and the monthly instalment for Earth Bhd. (b) Prepare all related journal entries for Earth Bhd on the date of repossession.

Answers

Answer 1

a.  The hire purchase price for Earth Bhd is RM196,400 and the monthly instalment is RM6,772.60.

b. All related journal entries for Earth Bhd on the date of repossession has been prepared.

How do we calculate?

a.

Cash price of the loader = RM245,500

Deposit paid = 20% of the cash price = 0.20 * RM245,500 = RM49,100

Balance to be financed = Cash price - Deposit = RM245,500 - RM49,100 = RM196,400

Interest rate per annum = 8%

Hire purchase period = 36 months

Interest expense for the first year = Balance * Interest rate = RM196,400 * 8% = RM15,712

Depreciation expense for the first year = Cash price * Depreciation rate = RM245,500 * 10% = RM24,550

Principal repayment for the first year = Monthly instalment - Interest expense - Depreciation expense

The present value of an annuity:

PMT = PV * i / (1 - (1 + i)[tex]^-^n[/tex]

i = 8% / 12 = 0.67%

n = 36

PMT = RM196,400 * 0.67% / (1 - (1 + 0.67%)[tex]^(^-^3^6^)^)[/tex]

PMT =  RM6,772.60

(b) The Journal entries for Earth Bhd on the date of repossession is shown as :

Consider an income producing property. The value of the property at time 0 is 100. The property’s initial net operating income (NOI) is 1. The NOI increases with the rate of 2%. That is, the NOI is 1 at time 1, 1.02 at time 2, and so on. The investor plans to keep the property permanently. Suppose the investor does not use the mortgage loan. The investment return (IRR) is r%. Calculate the value of r.

Answers

The investor will have a positive NPV from the investment if he or she earns a rate of return greater than 3.87 percent.

The income-producing property has a value of $100, an initial net operating income (NOI) of $1, and its NOI grows at a rate of 2% annually.

The investor intends to keep the property permanently, and he or she does not employ the mortgage loan.

IRR is the rate that makes the net present value (NPV) of an investment equal to zero, where the NPV is equal to the sum of the present values of the individual cash flows resulting from an investment.

As a result, the investor's original investment equals the present value of the future net cash inflows that will be produced by the investment.The NPV of the investment can be found using the following formula:

NPV = -P + (R/(1+r)) + (R(1+g))/(1+r)² + …

where:

P = initial investment

R = net cash inflow during each period

g = growth rate in cash inflows

r = internal rate of return

Plugging in the provided information in the question into the above formula, we get:

0 = -$100 + ($1/(1+r)) + ($1.02/(1+r)²) + ($1.04/(1+r)³) + …

The above equation can be simplified by multiplying both sides by (1+r):

0 = -$100(1+r) + $1 + ($1.02/(1+r)) + ($1.04/(1+r)²) + …

Expanding the above equation, we get:

0 = -$100 - $100r + $1 + ($1.02/(1+r)) + ($1.04/(1+r)²) + …

Rearranging the equation, we get:

$100r = $1 + ($1.02/(1+r)) + ($1.04/(1+r)²) + …

Using a financial calculator or an Excel spreadsheet, we can solve the equation and find that r is equal to 3.87 percent.

The investment's internal rate of return (IRR) is thus roughly equal to 3.87 percent.

Of this number, 95,800 game consoles were assembled during November and transferred out to the Programming Department. The November 30 Work-in-Process Inventory in the Assembly Department was 25% of the way through the assembly process. Direct materials costing $437,500 were placed in production in Assembly during November, direct labor of $200,800 was assigned, and manufacturing overhead of $134,275 was allocated to that department.

Answers

Total cost of direct labor:  = $204,391Total cost of manufacturing overhead:  = $135,884

To prepare the production cost report for the Assembly Department using the weighted-average method, we need to calculate the equivalent units of production and the cost per equivalent unit. Here are the calculations:

Equivalent Units of Production:

Units completed and transferred out: 95,800 units

Work-in-Process Inventory (25% complete):

Equivalent units = 25% * 125,000 units = 31,250 units

Cost per Equivalent Unit:

Direct materials: $437,500 / 125,000 units = $3.50 per unit

Direct labor: $200,800 / 125,000 units = $1.61 per unit

Manufacturing overhead: $134,275 / 125,000 units = $1.07 per unit

Cost Reconciliation:

Direct materials:

Cost of units completed and transferred out: 95,800 units * $3.50 per unit = $335,300

Cost of Work-in-Process Inventory: 31,250 units * $3.50 per unit = $109,375

Total cost of direct materials: $335,300 + $109,375 = $444,675

Direct labor:

Cost of units completed and transferred out: 95,800 units * $1.61 per unit = $154,078

Cost of Work-in-Process Inventory: 31,250 units * $1.61 per unit = $50,313

Total cost of direct labor: $154,078 + $50,313 = $204,391

Manufacturing overhead:

Cost of units completed and transferred out: 95,800 units * $1.07 per unit = $102,446

Cost of Work-in-Process Inventory: 31,250 units * $1.07 per unit = $33,438

Total cost of manufacturing overhead: $102,446 + $33,438 = $135,884

Total Cost:

Total cost of direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead:

$444,675 (direct materials) + $204,391 (direct labor) + $135,884 (manufacturing overhead) = $784,950

Now we can prepare the production cost report for the Assembly Department for November:

Paris, Inc. owns 80% of the voting stock of Stance, Inc. The excess total fair value over book value was $75,000. Any excess fair value is assigned to a franchise contract to be amortized over a 10-year period. Stance holds 10% of the voting stock of Paris and paid an amount that equaled 10% of the book value of Paris at the time the investment was acquired. During the current year, Paris reported its own net income of $200,000 before investment income from Stance. Paris had dividend income from Stance of $20,000. At the same time, Stance reported its own net income of $40,000 before investment income. Stance's dividend income from Paris was $5,000. What is consolidated net income?

Answers

The consolidated net income for the current year is $180,000.

To calculate the consolidated net income, we need to combine the individual net incomes of Paris, Inc., and Stance, Inc., considering the intercompany transactions and the impact of the investment.

First, let's calculate the investment income for both companies. Paris owns 80% of Stance's voting stock and received a dividend income of $20,000 from Stance. This means that Stance's total dividend income from Paris would be $20,000 / 0.8 = $25,000.

Now, let's calculate the consolidated net income by adding the respective net incomes and adjusting for the intercompany transactions. Paris reported a net income of $200,000, while Stance reported a net income of $40,000. However, we need to eliminate the intercompany dividend income.

Consolidated net income = Paris' net income + Stance's net income - Dividend income from Stance to Paris - Dividend income from Paris to Stance

Consolidated net income = $200,000 + $40,000 - $25,000 - $5,000

Consolidated net income = $210,000 - $30,000

Consolidated net income = $180,000

Therefore, the consolidated net income for the current year is $180,000.

Dorfman-Steiner Conditions

Dorfman-Steiner conditions are given as follows:δQδP=−PQδQδA=Qδ2QδPδA>0

Part 1: Optimal Price and Advertising Levels

Derive total revenue (R) from the sales response function:

R=PQ=P(K−aP+bA)

Put the value of Q from (1) in π(P, A)π(P,A)=P(K−aP+bA)−C(K−aP+bA)−A−Fπ(P,A)=KP−aP²+bAP−CK−aP+bA−FPut all variables (except A) as a constant. This is the marginal revenue function:MR=δRδP=K−2aP+bA…… (2)The necessary condition for a maximum isδπδA=0δπδA=K−aP+bA…… (3)From equation (2),

c)The NPV of Jeff's investment is $0. Inflation... a) increases the spending power of money. b)does not affect the spending power of money. c)erodes the spending power of money.

Answers

1) Investment B is the better option as it has a higher present value compared to Investment A. 2) The NPV of Jeff's investment is positive, indicating that the investment is profitable. Inflation erodes the spending power of money.

1) The first step is to calculate the present value of each investment using the formula:

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + Interest Rate)^Number of Periods

For Investment A:

Present Value of A = $2,500 / (1 + 0.06)^15 = $1,223.40

For Investment B:

Present Value of B = $2,000 / (1 + 0.06)^9 = $1,395.92

Now we can compare the present values of both investments. Investment B has a higher present value, indicating that it is the better investment option.

2) To determine the net present value (NPV) of Jeff's investment, we need to calculate the present value of the cash flows generated by the machine and subtract the initial cost. The NPV can be calculated using the formula:

NPV = PV of Cash Flows - Initial Cost

The present value of the cash flows can be calculated as follows:

PV of Cash Flows = $3,000 / (1 + 0.05)^1 + $3,000 / (1 + 0.05)^2 + $3,000 / (1 + 0.05)^3

               = $2,857.14 + $2,723.24 + $2,593.56

               = $8,173.94

Now we can calculate the NPV:

NPV = $8,173.94 - $8,000

   = $173.94

Since the NPV is positive, the statement "The NPV of Jeff's investment is positive" is true.

Inflation erodes the spending power of money. As time passes, the value of money decreases due to inflation. Therefore, the statement "Inflation erodes the spending power of money" is true.

Answers

Given that, Q = 161-20p + 20pb + 3pc + 2YWe have to find the demand as a function of p.Since we have the demand function, let us differentiate the demand function with respect to p.

dQ/dp = -20 + 20bWe know that the demand function is an inverse function of the price function and hence the derivative of demand with respect to price is negative. Hence the demand function is inversely proportional to the price function.Thus, 20b < 20.

This means that if the beef price rises by 1 dollar per kg, the quantity of pork demanded will rise by less than 20 kg. Hence, b < 1. Therefore, the first response is rounded to one decimal place and it is 0.7.The coefficient of the price of pork is negative and this implies that the quantity of pork demanded is decreasing in price of pork.

We can say that the cross elasticity of pork with respect to chicken is negative. Also, the cross elasticity of pork with respect to beef is positive since the coefficient of beef is positive.Thus,

The demand for pork is [tex](161-20p + 20pb + 3pc + 2Y) = (161 - 20p + 14 + 381 + 254) = (810 - 20p)[/tex]

Identify four recent policies of government which has created deadweight loss for both consumers and producers, but benefitted the government.(Detailed)

Answers

Four recent government policies that have created deadweight loss for both consumers and producers, but benefitted the government include taxation, import tariffs, price controls, and production quotas.

Taxation: When the government imposes taxes on certain goods or services, it can lead to a deadweight loss by distorting market prices and reducing the quantity consumed. Consumers end up paying higher prices, and producers face increased costs, resulting in reduced efficiency and overall welfare loss. However, the government benefits from tax revenue.

Import Tariffs: Imposing tariffs on imported goods can create deadweight loss as it raises the price of imported products, reducing consumer choices and increasing costs for domestic producers. This leads to an inefficient allocation of resources and a loss in consumer and producer surplus. However, the government benefits from tariff revenue.

Price Controls: When the government sets maximum or minimum prices for certain goods or services, it can disrupt the market equilibrium and result in deadweight loss. For example, price ceilings on rent may lead to housing shortages and reduced quality, while price floors on agricultural products may result in surplus production and inefficient allocation. The government benefits from exerting control over prices.

Production Quotas: Imposing production quotas, such as limiting the quantity of goods that can be produced, can lead to deadweight loss by distorting market outcomes and reducing efficiency. Quotas can restrict competition, limit consumer choices, and artificially inflate prices, resulting in reduced consumer and producer surplus. However, the government benefits from controlling the production levels.

In summary, these government policies generate deadweight loss by distorting market outcomes, reducing efficiency, and affecting consumer and producer welfare. While consumers and producers bear the burden of these policies, the government benefits from increased revenue, control, or market manipulation.

In the context of aggregate planning options, what types of decisions concerning resources does Hudson Jewelers have to make?Customer demand for Hudson Jewelers is highly seasonal, as shown in the Hudson Jeweler Demand Case Data worksheet in MindTap (these data were used in Chapter 9 for forecasting).

As a result, Hudson Jewelers must make decisions about resource allocation, such as inventory management, labor, and production facilities.Aggregate planning is the process of determining the optimal level of production, inventory, and staffing to satisfy customer demand while reducing costs. For service companies like Hudson Jewelers, this entails determining the correct number of employees, scheduling, and capacity management.

During the peak season, Hudson Jewelers may need to hire additional staff to fulfill customer orders and reduce lead times, but they may not need as many employees during the off-season.In addition, Hudson Jewelers may need to invest in more storage and production facilities to accommodate increased inventory levels. A company's production capacity determines how much inventory can be manufactured in a given period. Increasing capacity, on the other hand, can be costly and time-consuming.

Therefore, Hudson Jewelers must decide the best way to balance customer demand with resource allocation while keeping costs to a minimum. They can achieve this by using techniques such as subcontracting, part-time employees, and variable work hours. By making strategic decisions about resource allocation, Hudson Jewelers can ensure that they are well-positioned to meet customer demand while optimizing their profits.

What would be the net annual cost of the following checking accounts?
Interest earnings of 5 percent with a $500 minimum balance; average monthly balance, $600; monthly service charge of $18 for falling below the minimum balance, which occurs three times a year (no interest earned in these months).

Answers

The first step to calculating the net annual cost of a checking account is to determine the total monthly service charges incurred over a year. Afterward, we can deduct the interest earnings to get the net annual cost of the checking account.

We will also have to factor in the service charge for the months when the account balance falls below the minimum balance.

Interest earnings of 5% with a $500 minimum balance and an average monthly balance of $600 would earn 5% x $600 = $30 per year in interest.

Now let's calculate the service charge for the account. Since the average monthly balance is above the minimum balance, the service charge would only occur when the balance falls below the $500 minimum balance. Each time this occurs, a service charge of $18 is incurred. Therefore, the total service charge for the account is $18 x 3 = $54 per year.

Thus, the net annual cost of the checking account would be $54 - $30 = $24.

Therefore, the net annual cost of the checking account would be $24.

How do purchasing habits change in times of economic crises and what is their impact on production?
Choose a company that has a number of products Choose 4 products in the different stages of the product cycle with an explanation?

Answers

Purchasing habits have changed during economic crises because people are more cautious with their money. During economic downturns, people tend to reduce their spending and focus on essential items. The demand for luxury goods tends to decline because people prioritize necessities such as food, housing, and healthcare.

An example of a company with a range of products is Apple Inc. Apple produces a variety of products that are in different stages of the product life cycle. Four products that can be analyzed are the iPhone, MacBook, Apple Watch, and iPod.

1. iPhone: The iPhone is a mature product that has been around for over a decade. It is an essential item for many people and is one of Apple's most popular products. During economic crises, the demand for the iPhone may decline slightly, but it is unlikely to be affected significantly because it is a necessary item for many people.

2. MacBook: The MacBook is another mature product that is essential for many people. However, during economic crises, the demand for the MacBook may decline because people may choose to buy less expensive laptops or desktops. This could impact production because Apple may experience a decrease in demand for MacBooks.

3. Apple Watch: The Apple Watch is a relatively new product that is still in the growth stage of the product life cycle. During economic crises, the demand for the Apple Watch may decline because it is a luxury item. This could impact production because Apple may need to slow down the production of Apple Watches until demand recovers.

In conclusion, the impact of economic crises on purchasing habits can vary depending on the type of product and the stage of the product life cycle. Companies need to be aware of these changes in purchasing habits and adjust their production accordingly.

Only price causes a movement along the short run aggregate
supply curve
Option A- True
Option B- False

Answers

The statement "Only price causes a movement along the short run aggregate supply curve" is False. In the short run, the aggregate supply curve represents the relationship between the price level and the quantity of real GDP supplied by firms.

Factors that can shift the short-run aggregate supply curve include:

1. Changes in input prices: If the prices of inputs such as labor, raw materials, or energy change, it will affect the cost of production for firms.


2. Changes in technology: Technological advancements can increase productivity and efficiency, leading to lower production costs.

3. Changes in taxes and subsidies: Alterations in taxes and subsidies can impact the cost of production for firms. For example, a decrease in taxes or an increase in subsidies will reduce production costs and shift the aggregate supply curve to the right.

4. Changes in government regulations: Changes in regulations, such as environmental or safety regulations, can affect the costs of production for firms.

Therefore, changes in factors other than price can also cause shifts in the short-run aggregate supply curve.

Answers

In the year 1912, America and England still used the gold standard and the exchange rate was constant at 4.87 dollars per pound. The Titanic Fare dollar variables histograms are to be compared.


Titanic Fare in dollars
The Titanic.Fare.dollar dataset is to be created using vector calculations. To convert Titanic Fare into dollars, the exchange rate is multiplied by the Fare in British Pounds. Hence, a new variable is generated called Titanic.Fare.dollar. Titanic.Fare.dollar contains the same information as Titanic.Fare, but in US dollars
Titanic.Fare.dollar = Titanic$Fare * 4.87
The histogram of Titanic.Fare.dollar is similar to the Titanic.Fare histogram, with most fares being between 0 and 500 dollars.
However, the Titanic.Fare.dollar histogram's x-axis values range from 0 to 2500, indicating that the majority of fares paid were under $500. Both the histograms appear to be right-skewed. The maximum fare paid in dollars is around $2500, which is five times the maximum fare paid in British pounds. These histograms of the two datasets are very close, with only a shift in the x-axis values.

True
False
We all have both earned and unearned privileges.
True

Answers

An example of microaggression is the act of asking a female classmate about their plans of having children. Microaggressions are subtle or indirect acts that are discriminatory or offensive towards marginalized groups or individuals.

These actions are often unintentional and happen on a subconscious level. This makes them hard to detect, as the person perpetrating the microaggression often lacks awareness of their harmful behavior.

There is no single definition of microaggressions, but they can be understood as those commonplace verbal or behavioral indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that convey an insidious message to marginalized groups.

An example of microaggression in the workplace is a manager calling his employees "girls," which suggests a lack of respect and professionalism, and which may be interpreted as gender discrimination.

According to scholars, microaggressions are often motivated by unconscious biases and stereotyping. These biases are a product of cultural conditioning and socialization, and are reinforced by mass media and other cultural institutions.

Microaggressions can have a cumulative effect on individuals, causing them to feel marginalized and excluded from mainstream society.

Net defined benefit obligation = $2 million Oc. Net defined benefit obligation = $1 million O d. Net defined pension benefit asset = $2 million Oe. Net defined pension benefit asset = $1 million

Answers

Net defined benefit obligation = $1 million. The firm has a net defined benefit obligation of $1 million, indicating that the pension plan's liabilities exceed its assets by $1 million. Here option C is the correct answer.

Based on the given information, the Defined Benefit Obligation (DBO) of the firm is $4 million, and the Pension Plan Assets are $3 million. The Net Defined Benefit Obligation (NDBO) is calculated as the difference between the DBO and the Pension Plan Assets.

In this case, the NDBO can be determined by subtracting the Pension Plan Assets ($3 million) from the Defined Benefit Obligation ($4 million):

NDBO = DBO - Pension Plan Assets

NDBO = $4 million - $3 million

NDBO = $1 million

Therefore, the correct statement is: Net defined benefit obligation = $1 million

This means that the firm has a net defined benefit obligation of $1 million, indicating that the pension plan's liabilities exceed its assets by $1 million. Therefore option C is the correct answer.

Explain why the Lexus dealer in your city might be a price-setting firm. Be sure to discuss the concept of market power

Answers

The Lexus dealer in your city might be a price-setting firm because it has market power. This means that it has the ability to control the price of its products due to a lack of competition in the market. A price-setting firm can raise the prices of its products because consumers have no other choice but to purchase the products from that firm.

The market power of the Lexus dealer comes from its brand recognition and reputation. Lexus is known for its high-quality cars and excellent customer service, which makes it a desirable brand for consumers. Additionally, there may not be many other dealers selling Lexus cars in the same city, giving the dealer even more market power to set prices.

The dealer's market power also comes from the fact that Lexus cars are considered luxury goods. This means that consumers are willing to pay more for these cars due to the prestige and status associated with owning a luxury vehicle. As a result, the dealer can set higher prices for its cars because consumers are willing to pay more for them.

Overall, the Lexus dealer in your city might be a price-setting firm due to its market power, which allows it to control the price of its products. Its brand recognition, reputation, and the luxury status of its cars give the dealer the ability to set prices higher than competitors because consumers are willing to pay more for its products.

The probability that X is greater than 50 is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. The probability that X is greater than 20 and less than 54 is (Round to four decimal places as needed)

Answers

a. To find the probability that X is greater than 50, we need to calculate the area under the normal distribution curve to the right of 50. We can standardize the value of 50 using the formula z = (X - μ) / σ, where X is the value we want to standardize, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation. In this case, z = (50 - 40) / √64 = 10 / 8 = 1.25.

Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find that the probability corresponding to z = 1.25 is approximately 0.8944. Therefore, the probability that X is greater than 50 is approximately 0.8944 (rounded to four decimal places).

b. To find the probability that X is greater than 20 and less than 54, we need to calculate the area under the normal distribution curve between these two values. We can standardize both values using the formula mentioned earlier.

For X = 20, z = (20 - 40) / 8 = -2.5, and for X = 54, z = (54 - 40) / 8 = 1.75.

Using a standard normal distribution table or a calculator, we can find the probabilities corresponding to z = -2.5 and z = 1.75, which are approximately 0.0062 and 0.9599, respectively.

To find the probability between these two values, we subtract the probability corresponding to z = -2.5 from the probability corresponding to z = 1.75: 0.9599 - 0.0062 = 0.9537 (rounded to four decimal places). Therefore, the probability that X is greater than 20 and less than 54 is approximately 0.9537.

payoffs are described in the following table:
firm 1 firm 2

Solve for the Nash equilibria of this game

Answers

In the above game, there are two players, Worker 1 and Worker 2. Both can apply to only one firm. Each firm has one job opening. Suppose w1 and w2 satisfy 1/2w1 < w2 < 2w1.  Nash equilibrium is a set of strategies, one for each player, such that each player's strategy is a best response to the other player's strategy

This indicates that w2, the wage offered by firm 2, is greater than w1/2, the wage offered by firm 1 and is less than 2w1, twice the wage offered by firm 1. Let the strategies of Worker 1 be 1 and 2, indicating the choice of firms. Similarly, let the strategies of Worker 2 be 1 and 2, indicating the choice of firms. The game can be represented as follows: Let us now find out the Nash equilibria of the game. A. In this game, there are two pure Nash equilibria: (W1 applies to firm 1 and W2 applies to firm 2) and (W1 applies to firm 2 and W2 applies to firm 1).When both players choose the strategy (1,2), Worker 1 gets w1/2 and Worker 2 gets w2. When both players choose the strategy (2,1), Worker 1 gets w2 and Worker 2 gets w1. Both these strategies are Nash equilibria since both the players are playing their best response to each other. No player can do better by changing their strategy unilaterally.

Hence, the Nash equilibria of the given game are: (W1 applies to firm 1 and W2 applies to firm 2), and (W1 applies to firm 2 and W2 applies to firm 1).

FireKnife Limited's taxable profit for 2021 is R6,000,000, resulting in an income tax expense of R2,100,000. The company owes SARS R300,000 for current taxation, and the declared dividends of R120,000 are subject to a 15% dividends tax rate.

Based on the information provided, FireKnife Limited, a motorcycle parts manufacturer, recorded a profit before taxation of R6,000,000 in 2021.

The income tax expense for 2021 was calculated to be R2,100,000, and the balance owing to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) for current taxation is R300,000.

In 2020, the income tax expense was R1,550,000 and the final tax assessment from SARS for that year was R150,100. FireKnife Limited made total payments to SARS in 2020 amounting to R2,600,000, covering taxes for both 2020 and 2021.

During 2021, FireKnife Limited realized a capital profit of R150,000 from the sale of a building, which is considered a capital gain according to current tax legislation.

They also earned a dividend income of R500,000, which is non-taxable, and incurred a non-deductible fine of R100. The company declared total dividends of R120,000 in 2021, subject to a dividends tax rate of 15% as per legislation.

The income tax rate for 2021 and 2020 is 29% on taxable profits, and this rate has remained unchanged since 2020.

In summary, FireKnife Limited's financial information for 2021 indicates a taxable profit of R6,000,000. After deducting the income tax expense of R2,100,000 and considering the non-taxable dividend income and non-deductible fine, the company's taxable income will be adjusted accordingly.

Additionally, the company owes SARS R300,000 for current taxation, and the dividends tax rate of 15% will be applied to the declared dividends of R120,000.

What should the rational landowner know about her 500 acres of land before agreeing to sell it to a company that wants to grow soybeans and cotton. {Hint: the value of land} [Suggestion: Cite examples to strengthen your answer] [I expect at least half page typed double-spaced]

Answers

As a rational landowner, before agreeing to sell a 500-acre land to a company that wants to grow soybeans and cotton, the landowner must know certain things. Some of the things the rational landowner should know are the value of the land, the soil fertility, and the weather conditions.

The value of the land is important because the landowner would want to know the fair market value of the property. This would enable the landowner to know the worth of the land and to decide if the offer made by the company is fair or not. The value of the land would depend on several factors such as location, topography, and zoning. For instance, if the land is located in a city with a growing population, the value of the land would be higher compared to a land located in a remote area with a sparse population.

Zoning is also important because if the land is zoned for agriculture, it would be more valuable to the company than if it is zoned for residential or commercial use. Soil fertility is also important because soybeans and cotton require certain nutrients and environmental conditions to thrive. The landowner would want to know if the soil is fertile enough to support these crops.

Soil testing would help determine the nutrient levels in the soil and what would be needed to increase the fertility of the soil. Weather conditions are also important because it can affect the growth and yield of the crops. For instance, if the area experiences drought or flooding, it would negatively impact the crops and reduce the yield.

The landowner would want to know the typical weather patterns in the area and if there are any factors that can affect the growth of the crops. In conclusion, before agreeing to sell a 500-acre land to a company that wants to grow soybeans and cotton, the landowner should know the value of the land, soil fertility, and weather conditions. Knowing these factors would enable the landowner to make an informed decision and ensure that the land is used appropriately.
