Explanation:
Jessica and Robert have two young children. They have $7,000 of qualified child care expenses and an AGI of $22,000 in 2019. What is their allowable child and dependent care credit considering their pre-credit tax liability
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The computation of the their allowable child and dependent care credit is shown below:
In the case when the income is below $35,000 than full 35% would be allowed
But the qualified child expense would be limited to $6,000
So, here the amount would be
= $6,000 × 35%
= $1,860
Already there is a pre credit tax liability so $0 should be considered as it would not received any credit

a. $24,477.81
b. $24,948.54
c. $23,536.36
d. $24,007.09
Answer:
1. a. 4.081%
2. c. $23,536.36
Explanation:
1. Periodic rate=(4.4%/4) = 1.1%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
= (1+0.044/4)^4-1
= 1.011^4 - 1
= 1.04473133864 - 1
= 0.04473133864
= 4.47%
EAR=(1+APR/m)^m-1
where m=compounding periods
=(1+0.04/365)^365-1
= (1+0.00010958904)^365 - 1
= 1.00010958904^365 - 1
= 1.04080849272 - 1
= 0.04080849272
= 4.081%
2. A=P(1+r/365)^365*n
where A=future value, P=present value, r=rate of interest, n=time period.
= 22000*(1+9%/365)^(9/12*365)
= $23,536.36
A year after buying her car, Anita has been offered a job in Europe. Her car loan is for $27,000 at a 6% nominal interest rate for 48 months. If she can sell the car for $20,000, how much does she get to keep after paying off the loan
Answer:
Instead of keeping a balance she would rather need to pay the remaining mortgage balance of $843.51
Explanation:
The first task here is to compute the monthly payment of the car loan using the formula below:
PMT=P(r/n)/1-(1+r/n)^(-nt)
P=loan amount= $27,000
r=interest rate=6 %
n=number of monthly payments in a year=12
t= duration of loan=4 years ( 48/12)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1+6%/12)^(-4*12)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1+6%/12)^(-48)
PMT=27000*(6%/12)/(1-(1.005)^-48
PMT=135 /(1-0.787098411 )
PMT=634.10
The balance of the loan after one year is the present value of the remaining 36 monthly payments as computed thus:
PV=monthly payment*(1-(1+r)^-n/r
monthly payment=634.10
r=monthly interest rate=6%/12=0.5%
n=number of monthly payments left=36
PV=634.10*(1-(1+0.5%)^-36/0.5%
PV=634.10*(1-0.835644919 )/0.5%
pv=$20,843.51
balance left after paying the loan=$20,000-$20,843.51 =-$843.51
Joe Jones, Inc. has a beta of .85. The risk-free rate is 5% and the expected rate of return on the market portfolio is 10%. a. Compute the required return for Joe Jones using the security market line (SML) equation.
Answer: 9.25%
Explanation:
Risk free rate, Rf = 5% = 0.05
We then subtract the risk free rate of 5% from the expected date of return on market portfolio of 10%. This will be:
= 10% - 5% = 5%
Beta = 0.85
Required return will now be:
= Rf + (Rm-Rf) x Beta
= 5% + (5% × 0.85)
= 5% + 4.25%
= 9.25%
Lake Sales had $2,200,000 in sales last month. The contribution margin ratio was 30% and operating profits were $180,000. What is Lake's break-even sales volume
Answer:
$1,600,000
Explanation:
Sales
$2,200,000
Contribution margin ratio
30%
$660,000
Sales $2,200,000
Contribution margin $660,000
Operating profit $180,000
Fixed cost = Contribution margin - Operating profit
= $660,000 - $180,000
= $480,000
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
= $480,000 / 30%
= $1,600,000
Therefore, Lake's break even sales volume is $1,600,000
Ford Motor Company has issued 8% convertible debentures, convertible at a 25:1 ratio. Currently the debenture is trading at 110. The stock is trading at 38. What is the conversion price of the stock
Answer:
40
Explanation:
Calculation for the conversion price
Based on the information given we were told that the company's convertible ratio is 25:1 which simply means that 1,000 par will be divided by the covertible ratio .
Hence,
Conversion price of the stock = 1,000/25
Conversion price of the stock = 40
Therefore the Conversion price of the stock will be 40
A machine with a cost of $150,000 and accumulated depreciation of $95,000 is sold for $70,000 cash. The amount that should be reported in the operating activities section reported under the direct method is:
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
The operating activities section of the cash flow statement under the direct method records the cash receipts with regard to sale of the products and the cash payments with regard to expenses
Therefore in the given case, it would be $0 as there is no transaction occured that should be reported in the operating activities section of the cash flow statement
The same is to be considered
What is the present value of the following cash-flow stream if the interest rate is 5%? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Year Cash Flow

West Side Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $16, $12, $11, and $7.50. Afterward, the company pledges to maintain a constant 6 percent growth rate in dividends forever. If the required return on the stock is 16 percent, what is the current share price?
a. $63.27.
b. $61.40.
c. $68.82.
d. $65.17.
e. $60.11.
Answer:
$77.81
Explanation:
We are given that West Side Corporation is expected to pay the following dividends over the next four years: $16, $12, $11, and $7.50.
Required rate - 16%
Growth rate = 6%
We are supposed to find the current share price
Formula :[tex]P_0=\sum_{t=0}^{T}\frac{D_T}{(1+r)^t}+\frac{D_{T+1}}{r-G}(1+r)^{-T}[/tex]
D = Dividends
t = time
r = required rate
G= Growth rate
Substitute the values in formula :
[tex]P_0=\frac{16}{(1+0.16)^1}+\frac{12}{(1+0.16)^2}+\frac{11}{(1+0.16)^3}+\frac{7.50}{(1+0.16)^4}+\frac{7.50(1+0.06)}{0.16-0.06}(1+0.16)^{-4}\\P_0=77.81\\[/tex]

d) $6,000
Answer:
Orca Corp.
The cumulative effect of this accounting change in estimate is:
That the cost of goods sold will be reduced by:
b) $4,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
FIFO Weighted-average Difference
January 1, 20x1 $71,000 $77,000 $6,000
December 31, 20x1 $79,000 $83,000 $4,000
Orca's income tax rate is 30%.
Note that the difference in the cost of the beginning inventory does not have any effect in the current period's financials. It was an estimate that was done previously and Orca does not need to restate its financials for the previous year because of the change. The accounting change only affects the current period.

Your parents will retire in 27 years. They currently have $280,000 saved, and they think they will need $1,900,000 at retirement. What annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal, assuming they don't save any additional funds? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Answer:
Annual Rate=7.35%
Explanation:
Calculation for the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal
Number of years =27
PV =280,000
FV =1,900,000
Using this formula
Annual Rate=(FV/PV)^(1/n)-1
Let plug in the formula
Annual Rate=(1,900,000/280,000)^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=6.7857^(1/27)-1
Annual Rate=1.07349-1
Annual Rate=0.0735
Annual Rate=7.35%
Therefore the annual interest rate must they earn to reach their goal will be 7.35%
The firm has just declared a dividend of $1.09 per share for the current fiscal year. The firm has earnings per share of $2.11, and 225,000 shares outstanding with a market price of $31.17 per share prior to the ex-dividend day. Ignore taxes. As a result of this dividend, the: A) the current dividend yield is 51.66% B) retained earnings will increase by $245,250. C) the current dividend payout ratio is 3.497% D) earnings per share will increase to $3.20. E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Answer: E) price-earnings ratio will be 14.26 ex-dividend.
Explanation:
Stock prices generally decrease in price by the price of the dividend on ex-dividend date.
This means that this stock will reduce to:
= 31.17 - 1.09
= $30.08
Price to Earnings ratio = Stock price/ Earnings per share
= 30.08/2.11
= $14.26
Option E is correct.
Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $16 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 18 Variable administrative cost per unit 13 Total fixed overhead 20,500 Total fixed administrative 36,700 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
variable markup % = 60%
Explanation:
total units sold 22,000
total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:
variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000
variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000
fixed overhead = $20,500
fixed S&A = $36,700
total costs = $739,200
total cost per unit = $33.60
selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60
markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100
the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%
but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:
variable cost per unit = $31
selling price = $49.60
the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%
CDB stock is currently priced at $85. The company will pay a dividend of $5.69 next year and investors require a return of 11.6 percent on similar stocks. What is the dividend growth rate on this stock?
Answer:
4.91%
Explanation:
CDB stock is currently priced at $85
The company will pay a dividend of $5.69
The required return is 11.6%
There for the dividend growth rate on this stock can be calculated as follows
11.6/100= (5.69/85) + growth rate
0.116= 0.0669 + growth rate
0.116 - 0.0669 = growth rate
0.0491 × 100 = growth rate
Growth rate = 4.91%
Crador Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,100 units. 14,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 800 units. Equivalent units for conversion costs were 14,800. What percentage complete was the ending inventory with respect to conversion costs on January 31 using the weighted-average method
Answer: 62.5%
Explanation:
Equivalent units = Units completed and transferred out + percentage completed of ending inventory
14,800 = (1,100 + 14,000 - 800) + Percentage
14,800 = 14,300 + Percentage amount completed
Percentage amount completed = 14,800 - 14,300
Percentage amount completed = 500 units
Percentage = Ending equivalent units / ending inventory
= (500/800) * 100
= 62.5%
Clark Company estimated the net realizable value of its accounts receivable as of December 31, 2019, to be $167,000, based on an aging schedule of accounts receivable. Clark has also provided the following information: The accounts receivable balance on December 31, 2019 was $177,400. Uncollectible accounts receivable written off during 2019 totaled $12,200. The allowance for doubtful accounts balance on January 1, 2019 was $15,400. How much is Clark's 2019 bad debt expense
Answer: $7200
Explanation:
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense will be calculated thus:
Balance for allowance for doubtful accounts will be:
= $177400 - $167000
= $10400
The Uncollectible accounts written off will be:
= $15400 - $12200
= $3200
Clark's 2019 bad debt expense:
= $10400 - $3200
= $7200

The fair market value of 's liabilities was . Read the requirementsLOADING.... Requirement 1. How much goodwill did purchase as part of the acquisition of ? Purchase price to acquire Mesa Herald Market value of Mesa Herald's assets Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's liabilities Less: Market value of Mesa Herald's net assets
Full question attached
Answer and Explanation:
A. Given that Thrifty Nickels Assets fair value and liabilities are given by $100000 and $70000 respectively(we do not use the book value in calculating goodwill here) and Acquisition value is $230000
Goodwill = purchase price -net assets
Since we know purchase price =$230000
We calculate net assets= total assets -total liabilities
Total assets =$100000
Total liabilities =$70000
Net assets=$100000-$70000=$30000
We substitute in goodwill formula
Goodwill=$230000-$30000=$200000
Therefore goodwill =$200000
B. We journalize entries for the acquisition in Deca's books as follows :
Debit Assets $100000
Debit Goodwill $200000
Credit liabilities $70000
Credit cash $230000
We debit assets since it received and increased by $100000,we debit goodwill since it also received and increased by $200000. We credit liabilities since it also increased by $70000 from the acquisition (liabilities accounts are credited). Cash was spent and therefore is credited since it reduced by $230000

This count did not take into consideration the following facts: Walker Consignment currently has goods worth $46300 on its sales floor that belong to Coronado but are being sold on consignment by Walker. The selling price of these goods is $75000. Coronado purchased $21100 of goods that were shipped on December 27, FOB destination, that will be received by Coronado on January 3. Determine the correct amount of inventory that Coronado should report.
Answer:
The correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300
Explanation:
The goods sent on consignment still belong to the consignor until they are sold off by the consignee. So, the consignor should add the unsold consignment goods in its inventory. Thus we will add the cost of goods sent on consignment to the value of inventory.
Value of inventory = 321000 + 46300 = $367300
The goods purchased by Coronado on 27 December with FOB destination should not be added to the cost of inventory as with FOB destination terms, the goods do not belong to the buyer until they are delivered to their destination by the seller.
Thus, the correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300

a. Consumption schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. b. Saving schedule The variable on the vertical (y) axis is (Click to select) and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is (Click to select) . These variables are (Click to select) related. c. What is the fundamental reason that the levels of consumption and saving in the United States are each higher today than they were a decade ago
Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Saving and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
c. Real GDP and disposable income are higher.
The Real GDP of the United States as well as disposable income have increased over the past decade which means that people are able to both consume and save more s shown above.
Lambda Computer Products competed for and won a contract to produce two prototype units of a new type of computer that is based on laser optics rather than on electronic binary bits. The first unit produced by Lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies. The second unit took 4,250 hours and used $237,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies. Labor is $20 per hour. Use Exhibit 6.5. a. Lambda was asked to present a bid for 10 additional units as soon as the second unit was completed. Production would start immediately. What would this bid be
Answer:
$2,731,672.50
Explanation:
first unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $250,000 worth of material, equipment usage, and supplies
the second unit took 4,250 hours and used $238,500 worth of materials, equipment usage, and supplies
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,250 hours / 5,000 hours = 85%
materials and equipment usage rate = $237,500 / $250,000 = 95%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Lambda's accumulated cost for producing 10 more computers
work hours = 4,250 x 7.116 (85% and 10 units) x $20 per hour = $604,860materials and equipment = $238,500 x 8.955 (95% and 10 units) = $2,126,812.50total = $604,860 + $2,126,812.50 = $2,731,672.50Doreen has preferences represented by the utility function U(x, y) = 10x + 5y. She consumes 10 units of good x and 9 units of good y. If her consumption of good x is lowered to 1, how many units of y must she have in order to be exactly as well off as before?
Answer:
she must consume 11 units of good Y
Explanation:
Doreen's current utility = (10 x 10) + (5 x 9) = 145 utils
if she consumes only 9 goods of X, her utility will be:
90 + 5Y
the amount of good Y that makes both equations equal is:
90 + 5Y = 145
5Y = 55
Y = 55 / 5 = 11 units
