The CARES Act allows special treatment for net operating losses incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Which of the following is not

Ulleksa [173]

Answer: d. Taxpayers may claim the carryback using Form 1045 at any time within three years of the due date of the return for the NOL year.

Explanation:

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, was signed into law in the wake of the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic that swept the nation in 2020.

Under this Act, all NOLs may be carried back five years and taxpayrs were allowed to waive their carryback period by attaching a statement to their 2020 return.

The Act however, did not allow for taxpayers to claim their carryback using Form 1045 at any time within three years of the due date of the return for the NOL year as this Act was only passed to cushion the effects of the pandemic in 2020.

Privatization is a way to a. shrink the federal budget by selling government services or property in the private sector. b. incr

kumpel [21]

Answer:

c. reduce government costs by relocating government programs to private groups or corporations.

Explanation:

Privatisation is reducing the share of government ownership & increasing the share of private ownership.

It can be done in two ways : Disinvestment of Public Sector Units (PSUs) Equity , Transfer of PSU (s) ownership & management to private sector.

Privatisation by either of the two ways reduces the financial burden on government, by liberating them from management of public sector or state owned enterprises. This public private reallocation, hence reduces government costs or expenditure - by assigning programs unnecessary to be done by public sector - to private groups or corporations.

Eg : When Indian Economy underwent New Economic Policy [Liberalisation, Privatisation, Globalisation] in 1991, it reduced government reserved sectors from 18 to only crucial 3 - Railways, Defence etc.

Palm Cay, Inc, plans to purchase a new metal stamping machine for use in its manufacturing process. After contacting the appropr

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

They purchase the machine from Vendor A.

Explanation:

This can be determined using the following 4 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of total cost of buying from Vendor A

Amount paid at the time of delivery = $40,000

Since the $50,000 will be paid at the end of each year, the present value of 5 years annual payment can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:

Present value of 5 years annual payment = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)

Where;

P = Monthly payment = $50,000

r = cost of funds = 8%, or 0.08

n = number of years = 5

Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:

Present value of 5 years annual payment = 50,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^5) / 0.08) = $199,635.50

Total cost of buying from Vendor A = Amount paid at the time of delivery + Present value of 5 years annual payment = $40,000 + $199,635.50 = $249,635.50

Step 2: Calculation of total cost of buying from Vendor B

Since the first $14,000 installment is due upon delivery, the present value of Forty- semi-annual payments can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of annuity due as follows:

Present value of Forty- semi-annual payments = P * ((1 - (1 / (1+r))^n) / r) * (1+r) .................................. (2)

Where ;

P = Semi-annual payment = $14,000

r = semi-annual cost of funds = Cost of funds / 2 = 8% / 2 = 4%, or 0.04

n = number of semiannuals = 40

Substituting the values into equation (2) above, we have:

Present value of Forty- semi-annual payments = $14,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1+0.04))^40) / 0.04) * (1+0.04) = $288,182.79

Therefre, we have:

Total cost of buying from Vendor B = Present value of Forty- semi-annual payments = $288,182.79

Step 3: Calculation of total cost of buying from Vendor C

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculation of the total present value of the required year-end maintenance costs (in bold red color).

Full cash price = $225,000

Total present value of the required year-end maintenance costs = $52,946.21

Total cost of buying from Vendor C = Full cash price + Total present value of the required year-end maintenance costs = $225,000 + $52,946.21 = $277,946.21

Step 4: Decision

Total cost of buying from Vendor A = $249,635.50

Total cost of buying from Vendor B = $288,182.79

Total cost of buying from Vendor C = $277,946.21

Since the Total cost of buying from Vendor A which is $249,635.50 is the lowest, they purchase the machine from Vendor A.
