Answer:
lower; higher.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).
This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.

However they have been facing challenges in the market with other playera like Circuit City, CompUSA and RadioShack not surviving.
The challenges faced by Best Buy is mostly as a result of external forces in the form of competition with Walmart and Amazon. Resulting in the loss of their share value.
Walmart and Amazon have been able to capture a large part of the electronics market.
Other problems like leadership scandals and inefficient processes also contributed to their problems.
Answer:
Dr Retained earnings $8.2
Cr Inventory $8.2
Explanation:
By changing method of an inventory valuation, the company should apply it retrospectively based on IAS 8 guidelines on change in accounting estimates and errors. Thus, the said difference from FIFO method to Weighted Average method of valuation should be credited directly against Retained earnings account because, accounts are already closed right after the year ended.
$32-$23.8= $8.2 million
To record the said adjustment you have to
Debit Retained earnings and credit Inventory in the amount of $8.2 million.
Answer:
Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>
1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.
PV * (1 + S1) = FV
1 + S1 = 1000 / 900
S1 = 1.1111 - 1
S1 = 0.1111
S1 = 11.11%
1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950
Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50
950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2
950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2
1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905
(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905
1 + S2 = 1.160221/2
S2 = 7.714%
1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602
Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586
Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92
Answer:
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Miles Driven Total Cost Miles Driven Total Cost
January: 8,000 $14,120
March: 8,550 $14,979
February: 7,490 $13,495
April: 8,195 $14,490
To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (14,979 - 13,495) / (8,550 - 7,490)
Variable cost per unit= $1.4 per unit
