Answer:

Polo will report $318,750 as its investment in Stallion at December 31, 20X8

Explanation:

Common stock = $300,000 acquired at 75%

Net income = $40,000

Pay dividends = $10,000

Increase in value of Patent = $50,000    

Economic Life = 10    

Amortization = $5,000    

Therefore, the $ 5000 would be reduced from the net income.

Investments in Polo = $300,000 + [0.75 × (40000 - 10000 - 5000)]

= $300,000+ 0.75(25,000)  

= $300,000+ $18,750    

= $318,750

If interest rates in general were to fall, 1. the prices of existing bonds would rise 2. the prices of existing bonds would fall
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

1. the prices of existing bonds would rise

Explanation:

General Interest rates and price of a bond are inversely related. The market interest rate also reflects an investors expected rate of return also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.

Mathematically, price of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as principal repayments discounted at investors expected rate of return i.e YTM.

So, when market interest rates fall in general, this would lead to a rise in the price of bonds as general interest rates represent yield to maturity.

Vande Velde Company made three investments during 2017. Where will Vande Velde report these investments in the fair value hierar
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

a. level 3

b.level 1

c. level 2

Explanation:

Vande Velde Company made three investments during 2017. Where will Vande Velde report these investments in the fair value hierarchy?1. It purchased 1,000 shares of Sastre Company, a start-up company. Vande Velde made the investment based on valuation estimates from an internally developed model.2. It purchased 2,000 shares of GE stock, which trades on the NYSE. 3. It invested $10,000 in local development authority bonds. Although these bonds do not trade on an active market, their value closely tracks movements in U.S. Treasury bond.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3) while Level 2 assets are financial assets and liabilities that are neither easy or overly complex to value.Going by the explanation the investment will be given hierarchy 3, 2,1

if Van verde purchased shares on the New York stock Exchange , then the percentage in price over time is more than the other two options . In stock purchase, investors can realised more profit on their  stocks than bond which can give like 10-15% on the initial cash outlay. The only caveat is that Stocks is a little bit risky and could be volatile owing to price fluctuations ,and the forces of demand and supply.

San Francisco Corporation uses two materials in the production of its product. The materials, X and Y, have the following standa
levacccp [35]

Answer:

(1) Material usage variance for X: 1,500 (Favorable)

(2) Material usage variance for Y: -19,500 (Adverse)

Explanation:

Material usage variance for X:

Standard Mix for actual Yield:

= (Standard mix of material X ÷ Yield) × Yield actual mix

= (3,500 ÷ 4,000) × 36,000

=  31,500

Material Usage Variance:

= (Standard Mix for actual Yield- Actual Mix) × Standard unit price

= (31,500-30,000) × $1

= 1,500 (Favorable)

Material usage variance for Y:

Standard Mix for actual Yield:

= (Standard mix of material Y ÷ Yield) × Yield actual mix

= (1,500 ÷ 4,000) × 36,000

=  13,500

Material Usage Variance:

= (Standard Mix for actual Yield- Actual Mix) × Standard unit price

= (13,500 - 20,000) × $3

= -19,500 (Adverse)

Total = (19,500) + 1,500

        = (18,000) [Adverse]

Carl’s business insurance costs $3,000 per year. Carl paid for and purchased a 12-month insurance policy on October 1, Year 1. O
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Carl's Insurance Expense Deduction for Year 2

Since he took advantage of the 12-month prepayments rule, his Year 2 Insurance deduction was deducted in Year 1.

While his deduction should have been equal to

= Annual Insurance Expense/12 x 9 = $3,300/12 x 9 = $2,475

In Year 2, it is equal to $0 since he did not make any payment for Insurance.

Explanation:

Under the cash method of accounting, two rules govern how someone can deduct prepaid expenses:

1. The General Rule

2. The 12-Month Rule

1. The General Rule

Under the general rule, you cannot deduct the full amount of an advance payment covering more than 12 months. You must deduct a portion of the payment in the year to which it applies.

Example: The General Rule.

Carl is a cash method taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 Carl pays $3,600 in advance for business insurance covering three years.

Coverage begins October 1, 2018.

Coverage ends September 30, 2021.

Result:

The general rule applies.

The advance payment covers more than 12 months (36 months).

A portion of the $3,600 must be deducted ratably over the three-year period.

To find the portion of the $3,600 Carl deduct each tax year:

First, divide the $3,600 by 36 (months) to find the monthly premium amount.

Then, multiply the number of months remaining in each tax year by the monthly premium

Monthly premium: $3,600 / 36 = $100 per month.

Oct. 1, 2018 - Dec. 31, 2018: 3 x $100 = $300 deduction for 2018

Jan. 1, 2019 - Dec. 31, 2019: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2019

Jan .1, 2020 - Dec. 31, 2020: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2020

Jan. 1, 2021 - Sep. 30, 2021: 9 x $100 = $900 deduction for 2021

The 12-Month Rule

The 12-month rule says that Carl may deduct the full amount of an advance payment in the year the payment is made if it creates rights or benefits for the taxpayer that do not extend beyond the earlier of:

12 months after the right or benefit begins, or

The end of the tax year after the tax year in which payment is made.

Example 1: The 12-Month Rule.

Carl is a cash basis taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 he pays $2,000 for business insurance covering one year.

The policy begins October 1, 2018 and ends September 30, 2019.

Result:

The 12-month rule applies.

Deduct the full $2,000 in 2018

The benefit does not extend beyond 12 months after the right to receive the benefit begins - October 1, 2018.
