Erica and Brett decide to form their new motorcycle business as an LLC. Each will receive an equal profits (loss) interest by co

ntributing cash, property, or both. In addition to the members' contributions, their LLC will obtain a $59,000 nonrecourse loan from First Bank at the time it is formed. Brett contributes cash of $9,500 and a building he bought as a storefront for the motorcycles. The building has a FMV of $54,000, an adjusted basis of $39,000, and is secured by a $44,000 nonrecourse mortgage that the LLC will assume. What is Brett's outside tax basis in his LLC interest?

Answer:

$58,500

Explanation:

The outside basis is defined as the tax basis that a partner has on the partnership. To find it, the value of all the resources contributed by the partner is taken and the debt relief and any debt assigned is subtracted. To solve this exercise, we should follow these steps:

1. Determine the contributed capital.

According to the problem statement, Brett provided cash ($ 9,500) and a building (here the value of the adjusted base, $ 39,000, is taken). Therefore, the total contributions are $48,500.

2. Calculate capital increases.

The partnership obtained a loan for $59,000, which was shared equally among the partners. Therefore, Brett received 50%, that is, $29,500.

Now, we must add the contributed capital plus capital increases:

48,500+29,500=78,000

3. Calculate mortgage debt issues.

The nonresource mortgage is 44,000, a value that exceeds the basis of the contributed property. In that case, the surplus is taxed to the contributing partner. To determine it, simply subtract the nonresource mortgage less adjusted basis of the building:

44,000-39,000=5,000

On the other hand, the remaining mortgage on the building is calculated, by dividing the value of the adjusted base of the property, in this case, 39,000 by 2, which results in 19,500.

Therefore, mortgage debt issues are equivalent to:

5,000+19,500=24,500

We add the contributed capital plus capital increases plus mortgage debt issues:

78,000+24,500=102,500

4. Subtract debts.

The partnership assumes the nonrecourse mortgage (which is computed as a debt) for 44,000. Because this component is not covered entirely by Brett, then this amount must be deducted from his individual tax base.

Therefore:

102,500-44,000=58,500

58,500 is Brett´s outside tax basis in his LLC interest.

On a balance sheet, we can see it as follows:

Particulars                                Amount in $

Cash                                                9,500

The Rowe Corporation uses a standard cost system. The company applies manufacturing overhead to units of product based on machin
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Allocated overhead= $216,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated overhead= $225,000

Estimated machine-hours= 25,000

At standard, each unit of finished product requires 3 machine-hours. Units of product completed 8,000 units

<u>To allocate overhead, we need to use the standard number of machine-hours that would take to produce 8,000 units.</u>

First, we need to determine the estimated overhead rate:

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 225,000/25,000= &9 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead:

Allocated overhead= 9*(8,000*3)= $216,000

Where subjective measures of performance are necessary, companies should rely on multiple sources of information?
navik [9.2K]
The answer is true. Companies improve the pay through performance linkage. Discrepancies and unfairness can be reduced by introducing gainsharing, ESOPs, and other plans that use objective performance measures. Where subjective measures of performance are essential, companies should depend on on multiple sources of information. Companies also must apply rewards soon after the presentation occurs, and in a large-enough dose (such as an extra pay rather than a pay increase), so that employees experience positive emotions when they receive the reward.

ladessa [460]

Answer:

On November 30, Parlor, Inc. purchased for cash at $15 per share all 250,000 shares of the outstanding common stock of Shaw Co.
scoray [572]

Answer:

Value of goodwill = $350,000

Explanation:

In case where is investment in 100% shares of a company then that may give rise to goodwill or rise to capital reserve.

Any amount paid to acquire that interest in company more than the value of such company is recorded as goodwill.

Here, cost of acquisition = $15 \times 250,000 =  $3,750,000

Carrying value of net assets of the company = $3,000,000

Increase in value due to fair value = $400,000

Value of goodwill = Purchase price - Fair Value of net assets

Therefore, value of goodwill = $3,750,000 - ($3,000,000 + $400,000) = $350,000
