Deferred tax liability $ 355,000 $ 463,000 The income statement reported tax expense for Year 2 in the amount of $580,000. Required: 1. What was the amount of income taxes payable for Year 2

Answers

Answer: $472,000

Explanation:

Deferred Tax Liability arises as a result of the different accounting methods used by Companies and by the Government for taxation.

Deferred tax liabilities are taxes that are owed to the Government due to the company using the Accrual system but as the Government uses the Cash basis, they have not yet recognised this tax.

The Tax Payable in Year 2 is;

= Reported Tax Expense -  increase in Deferred Tax liability

= $472,000

Question 6 of 10
Which economic tool would most likely be used as part of a contractionary
monetary policy?
A. Lowering interest on reserves
B. Reducing the discount rate
C. Raising the reserve requirement
D. Buying treasury securities

Answers

Answer:

C. Raising the reserve requirement

Explanation:

Contractionary monetary policy refers to the Fed's action of reducing money supply in the economy. Reducing the money supply slows down the economy, thereby countering expansion and inflationary pressures. Raising the reserve requirement is one tool that the Fed uses as a contractionary monetary policy.

Reserve requirements refer to the percentage of customer deposits that the Fed requires commercial banks to maintain at all times. An increase in reserve requirement decreases the money available for banks to lend out. Reduced lending means a decrease in the money supply, which results in a decline in the inflation rate.

B.Reducing the discount rate

Demarco and Janine Jackson have been married for 20 years and have four children who qualify as their dependents (Damarcus, Janine, Michael, and Candice). The couple received salary income of $100,000 and qualified business income of $10,000 from an investment in a partnership, and they sold their home this year. They initially purchased the home three years ago for $200,000 and they sold it for $250,000. The gain on the sale qualified for the exclusion from the sale of a principal residence. The Jacksons incurred $16,500 of itemized deductions, and they had $3,550 withheld from their paychecks for federal taxes. They are also allowed to claim a child tax credit for each of their children. However, because Candice is 18 years of age, the Jacksons may only claim the child tax credit for other qualifying dependents for Candice. (Use the tax rate schedules.)
Comprehensive Problem 4-55 Parts-c through f
a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?
b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?
c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Answers

Answer:

a. Taxable income = $80,000

b. Taxable income = $77,600

c. Taxable income = $80,600

Explanation:

Taxable income refers to the amount of income that is used to determine the amount of tax that will be paid to the government by an individual or firm in given year. The taxable income is arrived at after all the relevant addition and allowable deductions have been made.

The requirements are therefore answered as follows:

a. What would their taxable income be if their itemized deductions totaled $28,000 instead of $16,500?

Note: See part a of the attached excel file see the effect on taxable income.

The itemized deductions total of $28,000 instead of $16,500 makes the taxable income to be $80,000.

In the attached excel file, the following calculations is used:

Qualified business income deduction = Qualified business income * Parentage of deduction allowed = $10,000 * 20% = $2,000

b. What would their taxable income be if they had $0 itemized deductions and $6,000 of for AGI deductions?

Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $77,600.

c. Assume the original facts but now suppose the Jacksons also incurred a loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets. What effect does the $5,000 loss have on their taxable income?

Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculations of the taxable income.

The loss of loss of $5,000 on the sale of some of their investment assets incurred by the Jacksons is capital loss.

For tax purposes, capital loss of can be deducted as a loss on tax return by tax payers with a maximum of $3,000 to be deducted per year.

Therefore, the Jacksons will deduct $3,000 as a capital loss from their tax return, and the effect of this is to reduce the taxable income by $3,000.

This makes the taxable income to be equal to $80,600.

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).

Answers

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.

When all of a firm's inputs are doubled, input prices do not change, and this results in the firm's level of production more than doubling, a firm is operating:

Answers

Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

Free cash flow

Answers

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

a. Current ratio

= Total current asset / Total current liabilities

2017

Current asset. 890,400

Current liabilities 424,000

Current ratio = 890,400/424,000

= 2.1

2016 Current ratio

Current asset. 999,600

Current liabilities 357,000

Current ratio = 999,600/357,000

= 2.8

b. Earnings per share

= (Net income - Preference dividend) / Weighted average number of shares outstanding

2017

Net income. 166,830

Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 201,000

Earnings per share = $166,830/201,000

= $0.83

2016 Earnings per share

Net income $337,600

Weighted Average number of shares outstanding 211,000

Earnings per share = $337,600/211,000

= $1.6

c. Debt to asset ratio

= Total liabilities / Total assets

2017

Total liabilities 573,300

Total assets 1,950,000

= 573,300/1,950,000

= 0.29

2016 Debt to asset ratio

Total liabilities 552,132

Total assets 1,878,000

Debt to asset ratio = 552,132/1,878,000

= 0.29

d. Free cash flow

2017

Cash flow from operating activities 300,000

Less: capital expenditure (271,000)

Free cash flow 29,000

2016 free Cash flow from operating activities

Free cash flow 452,600

Less: capital expenditure (246,500)

Free cash flow. 206,100

Dom has $90,000 that he wishes to invest now in order to use the accumulation for purchasing a retirement annuity in five years. After consulting with his financial advisor, he has been offered four types of fixed-income investments, labeled as investments A, B, C, and D.
Investments A and B are available at the beginning of each of the next five years (call them years 1–5). Each dollar invested in A at the beginning of a year returns $1.20 (a profit of $0.20) two years later, in time for immediate reinvestment. Each dollar invested in B at the beginning of a year returns $1.36 three years later.
Investments C and D will each be available just once in the future. Each dollar invested in C at the beginning of year 2 returns $1.66 at the end of year 5. Each dollar invested in D at the beginning of year 5 returns $1.12 at the end of year 5.
Your uncle is obligated to make a balloon payment on an existing loan in the amount of $24,000 at the end of year 3. He wants to make that payment out of the investment account.
1) Devise an investment plan for your uncle that maximizes the value of the investment account at the end of five years. How much money will be available for the annuity in five years?
2) Show the network diagram corresponding to the solution in (1). That is, label each of the arcs in the solution and verify that the flows are consistent with the given information.

Answers

Answer:

First of all, you must invest enough money in B in order to pay your debt.

present value = future value / expected return

present value = $24,000 / $1.36 = $17,647.06

you have $90,000 - $17,647.06 = $72,352.94 to invest in A.

at the end of year 2, you will have:

future value = present value x expected return = $72,352.94 x $1.20 = $86,823.53

then you should invest that money ($86,823.53) in invested D and at the end of year 4 you will have:

future value = $86,823.53 x $1.66 = $144,127.06

finally, you should invest $144,127.06 in investment E and at the end of ear 5 you will have:

future value = $144,127.06 x $1.12 = $161,422.31

2) it is really hard to draw a diagram without drawing tools, but i will try

              ⇒ invest $17,647.06  in B      ⇒ year 3, collect $24,000

                                                                  from B and pay off debt

today

$90,000  

              ⇒ invest $72,352.94     ⇒ year 2, invest         ⇒ year 4, invest

                  in A                                  $86,823.53  in D        $144,127.06  in E

continues ...  ⇒ year 5, collect $161,422.31  from E

You are considering four hotels that differ from each other with respect to their price and customer reviews:

Answers

Answer: H4

Explanation:

Looking at the reviews given per price, a conclusion can be made that the higher the price of staying in the hotel, the higher the ratings given which would imply that the hotels charging higher, have better amenities.

This does not hold for H4 however as they are charging more than H1 but still getting the same reviews as them.

This could either mean that H1 is efficient enough to be getting the same rating for the same price as H4 or that H4 is inefficient such that they are not utilizing their amenities enough to get a higher rating than H1 who they should be better than.

Either scenario point to inefficiency on H4's part.

Answers

Answer:

$885,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the total assets should be reported

Using this formula

TOTAL ASSETS =Total of liabilities + Total stockholders' equity

Initial equity $750,000

Income $18,000

($82,000-$64,000)

Dividends ($3,000)

12/31 Total stockholders' equity $765,000

Add Liabilities of $120,000

Total ASSETS $885,000

Therefore On Mirr's December 31, year 1 balance sheet, total assets should be reported at $885,000

g you are eligible for a 30 year fixed rate home mortgage with 3.6% interest rate what is the maximum loan you can get

Answers

Answer:

the maximum loan is $379,417

Explanation:

The computation of the maximum loan is shown below:

As we know that

Maximum Loan = Present Value of all monthly Payments

=  $1,725 × PVAF(0.3%,360 months)

= $1,725 × [1- (1+0.003)^-360] ÷ 0.003

= $1,725 × 219.9517

=  $379,417

hence, the maximum loan is $379,417

Here the interest rate is divided by 12 and the months should be multiplied by 12 as this is the case of monthly basis

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of ​$250 a​ month, the​ on-campus housing market is​

Answers

Answer: B. inefficient; the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented

Explanation:

If the college strictly enforces the rent ceiling of ​$250 a​ month, the​ on-campus housing market is​ inefficient because the rent ceiling has no effect on the number of rooms rented.

An efficient market will see equilibrium supply meting equilibrium demand and this is not the case in this market because the supply seems to stay the same regardless of the demand.

This market is inefficient because supply does not react to the rent paid and is always the same. This is why a rent ceiling of $250 had no effect on the market in terms of supply. Efficient markets should see both supply and demand reacting to price so that a mutually beneficial equilibrium can be reached.

Answer:

a. Prepare appropriate entries for Eye Deal to record the arrangement at its beginning, January 1, 2021, and on March 31, 2021.

we must first determine the present value of the lease payments:

PV of lease payments = quarterly payment x annuity factor

quarterly payment = $26,250PV annuity due factor, 2%, 20 periods = 16.67846

PV of lease payment = $26,250 x 16.67846 = $437,809.56 ≈ $437,810
