Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

We are given an article that presents a study that suggests adults who played varsity sports in high school have a 20% higher chance of earning a bachelor's degree in college than the ones who did not play during high school.

The outcome variable in this example, which is also the same as a dependent variable, is the chance of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree, which depends on whether that person played varsity sports during their high school years or not.

The treatment variable in this example, which is also the same as an independent variable, is whether the subject played varsity sports in high school or not which affects their chances of graduating from college with a bachelor's degree.

Counterfactual means thinking about an event in a way that did not actually happen, counter to the facts and it helps people feel more in control which in turn provides a psychological soothing effect. Counterfactual scenario in the given example for high school athletes would be not being able to earn a bachelor's degree despite having played sports in high school.

Thinking about the counterfactual scenario is important because it helps people get a sense of power and a feeling of control which is a primal instinct the brain needs to feel safe.

I hope this answer helps.

Nastasia [14]

Answer: b. Net requirements

Explanation: Lot sizing is used to consolidate the calculated net requirements by a certain unit. It puts into consideration cost reduction and work efficiency. One method of lot sizing is the lot-for-lot where the net requirements occurring for each period are the order quantity which generates greater volume of orders with smaller quantities per order and inventory investment as a result of ordering exact requirements only. The order sizes for component parts are essentially determined directly from net requirements.

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1. Taxable income = $76 million

2.  Net income = $65.25 million

3-a. Net current Deferred Tax Asset = $1.95 million

3-b. Net current Deferred Tax Liability = $6.25 million

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers I now provided as follows:

1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry.

1-a. Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021 and the taxable income.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Taxable income = $76 million

1-b. The journal entries will look as follows:

<u>Details                                                       Debit ($'m)             Credit ($'m)     </u>

Tax expense (6.75 + 19 - 3)                           22.75

Deferred tax asset (25% * (1 + 13 - 2))             3.00

Deferred tax liability (25% * (7 + 20))                                              6.75

Tax payable (25% * 76)                                                                   19.00

<u><em>(To record tax expense.)                                                                                 </em></u>

2. What is the 2021 net income?

This can be determined as follows:

Net income = Pretax accounting income - Tax expense = $88 million - $ 22.75 million = $65.25 million

3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2021 balance sheet.

3-a. The deferred tax amounts should be classified as follows.

From installment receivable in point (a) in the question:

Current deferred tax liability in 2022 (25%* ($4  / 2)) = $1

Noncurrent deferred tax liability in 2023 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1

From the depreciation in point (c.) in the question:

Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25%* ((24 + 24) - (14 + 7))) = $6.75

From the Warranty Expense/Payable in point (d.) of the question:

Current deferred tax asset (40%* 3) = $1.20

From the Acrrued Expense/Payable in point (e.) of the question:

Current deferred tax asset (25%* 7) = $1.75

Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25% * $6) = $1.50

3-b. These will be reported reported in the 2021 balance sheet as follows:

Sherrod, Inc.,

Balance Sheet (Partial)

As the Year Ended 31 December, 2021

<u>Details                                                                         $'Million    </u>

<u>Assets:</u>

Current Deferred Tax Asset (1.20 + 1.75)                      2.95

Current Deferred Tax Liability                                     <u> -1.00  </u>

Net current Deferred Tax Asset                                <u>   1.95  </u>

<u>Liabilities:</u>

Noncurrent Deferred Tax Asset (A)                              1.50

Noncurrent Deferred Tax Liabiity (1.0 + 6.75) (B)      <u>   7.75  </u>

Net current Deferred Tax Liability (C = B - A)       <u>    6.25   </u>
