Teddy is considering buying flood insurance. The cost of flood insurance is $400 per year. Teddy predicts that there is a 20% ch

ance that his house will flood and estimates that a flood will cause $1,000 in damages. If he gets insurance and there's no flood damage, he will lose his $400. However, if he gets insurance and there is flood damage, the insurance company will pay $1,000 for the damages. Since Teddy only paid $400 for the insurance, he will essentially save himself $600. What is the expected value of savings/losses for Teddy buying insurance?

25000+1500+88000-80000= Planned Purchases

Planned Purchases =34500

The OTB is given as

OTB=Planned Purchases-Commitment

OTB=34500-5600

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

1. $54,000

2. $50,000

3. $50,000

Explanation:

1. The computation of transaction price if the expected value is used is shown below:

= Flat fee + (Cost savings × given percentage)

= $50,000 + ($20,000 × 20%)

= $50,000 + $4,000

= $54,000

2. The computation of transaction price if the estimate of variable consideration is used. So, only a flat fee should be considered and the cost saving is ignored. Hence, the amount is $50,000

3. The computation of transaction price if the estimate of variable consideration is used. So, only a flat fee should be considered and the cost saving is ignored. Hence, the amount is $50,000 as there is very uncertainty due to lack of experience

Which of the following characteristics apply to taxable fringe benefits? (Check all that apply.)
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.

Explanation:

Taxable fringe benefits "are included in gross income and subject to federal withholding, social security, and Medicare taxes".

Fringe benefits are "perks and additions to normal compensation that companies give their employees, such as life insurance, tuition assistance, or employee discounts".

* The cost of the taxable fringe benefit is deductible to the employer, not the value of the benefit to the employee.

FALSE,  the taxable fringe benefit is not deductible from the employer.

* Employers treat the taxable fringe benefits the same as cash compensation.

TRUE, and as we can see on the definition above the taxable fringe benefits are treated as a compensation that comapnies giv their employees.
