Which of the following is not considered a credit?

The Fed announced in September 2013 that it would postpone winding down its monetary stimulus until the economic recovery was st

kolezko [41]

Answer:

A) interest rates will rise.

Explanation:

When the FED buys US securities it is carrying out an expansionary monetary policy. It reduces the interest rate of US securities so that more investors are willing to sell their US securities to the FED since their rate of return is very small.

If the FED stops buying back US securities, it means that they will stop their expansionary monetary policy, so the FED will start to increase US securities' interest rates. That way investors will be willing to keep their US securities and will not sell them since their rate of return has increased. This increase in the interest rate will lower the price of US securities and decrease the money supply.

The Dawson Company manufactures small lamps and desk lamps. The following shows the activities per product and the total overhea

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

235,000 total overhead

Explanation:

First we calculate the rate for activity

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&Cost&Pool&Rate\\Setups&60,000&24,000&2.5\\Inspections&120,000&24,000&5\\Assembly&280,000&28,000&10\\\end{array}\right]$

Next, we apply this rate to desk lamp

$\left[\begin{array}{cccc}&Rate&Desk&Overhead\\Setups&2.5&16,000&40,000\\Inspections&5&15,000&75,000\\Assembly&10&12,000&120,000\\\end{array}\right]$

Total Overhead will be the sum of each activity overhead

40,000.00 + 75,000.00 + 120,000.00 = 235,000 total overhead

Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries,

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:

Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500

they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)

contribution to IRA = ($2,500)

<u>alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005</u>

Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100

Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377

Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.

The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877

Refundable tax credits:

$2,000 in child tax credit

<u>$2,900 in recovery rebate credit</u>

total = $4,900

taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.

Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

A company has two divisions and evaluates management using return on investment. Division 1 currently makes a part that it sells

Anton [14]

Answer:

c. Division 1 should continue to do business with Division 2 because Division 1's variable cost per part is only $18.

Explanation:

Since the variable cost per part is only $18 and Division 1 sells to Division 2 at $25, it is in the company's overall interest that business should continue between the two divisions.

The cost of getting the part from outside is $26. This will incur more cost to the company and create excess capacity for Division 1.

Fixed costs are not relevant in making a decision of this nature. The costs would be incurred irrespective of the decision made. They are therefore irrelevant. The relevant cost is the variable cost of $18 per unit. It should be the focus of the decision, including the possibility of excess capacity for Division 1.
