Answer:
a. Gordon made a gift when the real estate was purchased of <u>$450,000</u> to Fawn.
Since Gordon gave 50% of the real estate to his sister as a gift when he purchased it, the gift must be valued at the time it happened ($900,000 x 50%)
b. Gordon's estate must include <u>$2,900,000</u> as to the property.
Gordon purchased all the real estate by himself, so his estate must include the value of the whole property.
c. How would the estate tax consequences change if it was Fawn (not Gordon) who died?
Fawn's estate would include <u>$0</u> as to the property.
Since Fawn didn't buy the property, her estate cannot include any amount of it.
Answer; True
Explanation;
When a company has excess capacity, it means that potentially it could produce more than it is producing at the moment. As this potential already takes into account the fixed costs, this means that given the fixed costs it currently has, more goods could be produced on those same fixed costs and they wouldn't increase.
Increasing production level would therefore only increase variable costs which rise whenever production rises as they are directly related to the production of goods.
Answer:
The land should be recorded in Clairemont Repair Service’s records at $380,000
Explanation:
According to the historical cost principle, the recording of the fixed assets should be recorded at the purchase price or cost price which is to be shown in the assets side under the balance sheet.
So, according to the question, on February 28, the repair service accepted the seller's counteroffer which means that the land was purchased on February 28 for $380,0000. So, by $380,000 amount, the land would be recorded.
Other costs which are mentioned in the question is ignored.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Using accelerated depreciation rather than straight line would normally have no effect on a project's total projected cash flows but it would affect the timing of the cash flows and thus the NPV.
Explanation:
Accelerated depreciation is a form of accounting and taxation used in the first years of an asset to allow greater deductions. On the other hand, the deductions are distributed evenly throughout the life of the asset using the Straight-line Depreciation method. Accelerated depreciation facilitates higher expenses to be incurred during the first years of an asset while in use, and lower expenses years later, as long as the asset depreciates.
In that sense, when it comes to the total projected cash flow of a company on a project, neither the accelerated depreciation or the straight-line method would affect it but both of them have impact on the timing of the cash flows since accelerated depreciation demands higher expenses since the beginning of the possession of the assets while the straight-line method keeps the expenses steady. Both, also affect the net present value (NPV) of the company since with the accelerated depreciation the cash flow will be less and with the straight-line method it should be constant.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (b) $831,000 net cash inflow.
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Company miracle bought stock treasury with a cost of = $15,000
Dividends paid = $20,000
Bond issued =$ 866,000
Now,
The cash flow from financing activities is calculated as follows:
Bonds payable -Purchased treasury stock - Dividend paid
$866,000 - $15,000-$20,000
= $831,000
Therefore, The net cash flow is $831,000
