Answer:

The journal entry for the following is shown below:

Explanation:

The journal entry for the following is as follows:

Bad Debts Expense A/c................................Dr  $3,600

       Allowance for Doubtful Accounts A/c......Cr  $3,600

Being the adjusting entry for bad debt expense

Working Note:

Using the percentage of accounts receivable computing the amount of bad debt expense as:

Allowance for doubtful accounts = Accounts receivable × %

= $120,000 × 4%

= $4,800

Now, computing the bade debt expense as:

Bad debt expense = Allowance for doubtful debts - Credit balance

= $4,800 - $1200

= $3,600

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

First of all, I believe that their is a mistake on the question, since the FMV of the machine should be $100,000, not $10,000, or else it wouldn't make much sense.

a. What are the amount and character of Mary's recognized gain or loss?

ordinary income of $10,000

The two year note is considered boot and therefore, Mary must report it as ordinary income.

b. What is Mary's basis in the stock and note? When does her holding period begin?

Mary's basis in the stock is $60,000 (the basis of the machine), and $0 for the note (recognized as ordinary income). Her holding period began three years ago when the machine was purchased.

c. What are the amount and character of Green's gain or loss?

Under a carryover basis limit rule (for a section 351 exchange), Green Corporation's basis is reduced, but it not considered a loss or a gain. The basis of the exchanged stock must equal the carryover basis of the property given in exchange.  

d. What is Green's basis in the machine? When does Green's holding period begin?

Same as Mary's, the basis is $60,000 and the holding period is 3 years. Since Mary owns 100% of Green Corporation as a result of the exchange, her basis and the corporation's basis will be the same.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Yes, she is required to include her tips in gross income.

Explanation:

Yes, Carey is required to include her tips in gross income. She is required to include both her small hourly amount and her tips, declaring both as a total sum amount. Even though the customer has no obligation to pay any tip of any kind to Carey, any tip she receives will count as compensation for services, as the tips are payments for her service to the customer.

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. Even though I was willing to pay up to $40 for a jersey sweater, I bought a jersey sweater for only $31.

Consumer Surplus;

= 40 - 31

= $9

When the amount that a consumer is willing to pay for something is more than the amount they actually pay, the difference is the Consumer surplus.

b. I sold a used laptop for $137, even though I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it.

Producer Surplus

= 137 - 130

= $7

When the amount that a producer is willing to sell something for is less than the amount they actually sell it for, the difference is the Producer surplus.

c. I was willing to go as low as $130 in order to sell it A local store was having a sale on watches, so I bought a watch for my brother. Neither.

Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs
