STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

Rule 70 is used to estimate how long it tales a cashflow amount to double.

The formula is as follows ;

Number of years = 70 / growth rate

<u>At 1.4% growth rate;</u>

Number of years = 70 / 1.4 = 50

<u>At 3.2% growth rate;</u>

Number of years = 70 / 3.2 = 21.88

<u>At 4.9% growth rate;</u>

Number of years = 70 / 4.9 = 14.29

<u>At 6.4% growth rate;</u>

Number of years = 70 / 6.4 = 10.94

<u>At 7.5% growth rate;</u>

Number of years = 70 / 7.5 = 9.33

Bricktown Exchange purchases a copyright for $50,000. The copyright has a remaining legal life of 25 years, but only an expected
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Correct option is (D)

Explanation:

Given:

Purchase price of copyright = $50,000

Expected useful life = 5 years

Annual depreciation expense as per straight line method:

= Purchase price ÷ useful life

= 50,000 ÷ 5

= $10,000

Only useful life is considered and not legal life.

Carrying value of asset at the end of year = Book value of asset - annual depreciation

Carrying value of copyright at then end of first year = 50,000 - 10,000 = $40,000

Carrying value of copyright at then end of second year = 40,000 - 10,000 = $30,000

During the current period, Department A finished and transferred 50,000 units to Department B. Of the 50,000 units, 20,000 were
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. $1,615

Explanation:

Provided information,

Total transferred units = 50,000

Opening units = 20,000 which were 1/5 th complete

Equivalent units = 4,000

That means on the remaining 20,000 - 4,000 = 16,000 units full overheads were applied.

30,000 units were started and completed during the month, for which entire overheads will be added.

Newly started = 10,000 units 3/5th complete = 6,000 units completed in closing inventory.

Therefore total equivalent completed units on which overheads applied = 16,000 + 30,000 + 6,000 = 52,000 units

Ending goods in inventory = 10,000 units which are 6,000 equivalent units completed

Total overheads for the month = $14,000

Overheads = $14,000/52,000 = 0.269 per unit

For 6,000 units = $1,615 .38

Therefore correct option is

A. $1,615

A person who purchases his/her own policy can exclude the benefits from gross income. It's also good to note tat statutory limitations exist for the following amounts:
Benefits that have been collected under the employer's plan
Premiums that have been paid by the employer
benefits that have been collected from the individuals' policy. Therefore the amount Valentino may exclude will be calculated as follows;
Daily statutory amount in 2017 (360*45)   $16200
Actual cost of care                                    $13500          $16200
Less: Amount received from Medicare                           ($8000)
Equal amount of exclusion                                              ($8200)
Thus:
Valentino must include (15000-8200)=$6800 of the long-term care benefits received in his gross income.
