Answer:

B. Profit-and-loss statement

Explanation:

The balance sheet shows the assets and liabilities of an entity but not the performance.

How well a business has done is a measure of the revenue the company makes with a consideration of the cost incurred in generating this revenue.

The net of the revenue and cost gives the income of the entity.

Such information is only available in the Profit-and-loss statement.

In order to produce a new product, a firm must lease new equipment. The managers feel that they can sell 10,000 units per year a

kogti [31]

Answer:

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000

Explanation:

The point at which the revenue in terms of sales equals the cost is the break-even point. This can be expressed as;

R=C

where;

R=revenue from sales

C=cost

And;

R=P×N

where;

R=revenue from sales

P=price per unit

N=number of units

In our case;

P=$7.5 per unit

N=10,000 units

replacing;

R=7.5×10,000=$75,000

Total revenue from sales=$75,000

C=p×n

where;

p=cost per unit

n=number of units

In our case;

p=$5

n=unknown

replacing;

C=5×n=5 n

At break-even point, R=C;

5 n=75,000

n=75,000/5=15,000

The break-even cost=5×15,000=$75,000

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000

Define ethics, and describe the role that it plays in discretionary decision making. Give an example.

Lerok [7]

Explanation:

Ethics can be defined as the study of the behaviors that guide human behavior, that is, society is developed through a set of moral behaviors that define its values and its conception of which human behaviors and attitudes are positive or negative. Ethics then emerges as the standardization of these behaviors and moral values, it is a code of conduct for positive actions by man in society in all areas of life.

In discretionary decisions, in which there is a possibility of interpretation by the legislators, ethics appears as a normative instrument for the conduct of decisions, being a guide for the legislator to decide for what will have greater ethical value and benefits for society.

A company desires to sell a sufficient quantity of products to earn a profit of $280000. If the unit sales price is $16, unit va

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

$270,000

Explanation:

Data provided

Quantity of products = $280,000

Total fixed costs = $800,000

Unit sales price = $16

Variable cost = $12

The computation of units must be sold is shown below:-

Contribution per unit = $16 - $12

= $4 per unit

Units must be sold = (Quantity of products + Total fixed costs) ÷ Contribution per unit

= ($280,000 + $800,000) ÷ $4

= $1,080,000 ÷ $4

= $270,000

Carl’s business insurance costs $3,000 per year. Carl paid for and purchased a 12-month insurance policy on October 1, Year 1. O

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Carl's Insurance Expense Deduction for Year 2

Since he took advantage of the 12-month prepayments rule, his Year 2 Insurance deduction was deducted in Year 1.

While his deduction should have been equal to

= Annual Insurance Expense/12 x 9 = $3,300/12 x 9 = $2,475

In Year 2, it is equal to $0 since he did not make any payment for Insurance.

Explanation:

Under the cash method of accounting, two rules govern how someone can deduct prepaid expenses:

1. The General Rule

2. The 12-Month Rule

1. The General Rule

Under the general rule, you cannot deduct the full amount of an advance payment covering more than 12 months. You must deduct a portion of the payment in the year to which it applies.

Example: The General Rule.

Carl is a cash method taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 Carl pays $3,600 in advance for business insurance covering three years.

Coverage begins October 1, 2018.

Coverage ends September 30, 2021.

Result:

The general rule applies.

The advance payment covers more than 12 months (36 months).

A portion of the $3,600 must be deducted ratably over the three-year period.

To find the portion of the $3,600 Carl deduct each tax year:

First, divide the $3,600 by 36 (months) to find the monthly premium amount.

Then, multiply the number of months remaining in each tax year by the monthly premium

Monthly premium: $3,600 / 36 = $100 per month.

Oct. 1, 2018 - Dec. 31, 2018: 3 x $100 = $300 deduction for 2018

Jan. 1, 2019 - Dec. 31, 2019: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2019

Jan .1, 2020 - Dec. 31, 2020: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2020

Jan. 1, 2021 - Sep. 30, 2021: 9 x $100 = $900 deduction for 2021

The 12-Month Rule

The 12-month rule says that Carl may deduct the full amount of an advance payment in the year the payment is made if it creates rights or benefits for the taxpayer that do not extend beyond the earlier of:

12 months after the right or benefit begins, or

The end of the tax year after the tax year in which payment is made.

Example 1: The 12-Month Rule.

Carl is a cash basis taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 he pays $2,000 for business insurance covering one year.

The policy begins October 1, 2018 and ends September 30, 2019.

Result:

The 12-month rule applies.

Deduct the full $2,000 in 2018

The benefit does not extend beyond 12 months after the right to receive the benefit begins - October 1, 2018.
