Answer:
70.3%
Explanation:
Current period cost-to-retail percentage is:
- Beginning inventory $70,000 $107,000
- Plus: Net Purchases $302,290 $450,000
- Plus: Net markups $23,000
- Less: Net markdowns ($43,000)
Goods available for sale (excluding beginning inv.) $302,290 $430,000
Goods available for sale (including beginning inv.) $372,290 $537,000
Cost-to-retail percentage = $302,290 / $430,000 = 70.3%
Answer:
deduction for organizational expenses = $5,000
Explanation:
Since the total startup costs are over $50,000 then the company's deduction will be lower. Generally speaking, a company can deduct up to $5,000 in organizational an startup costs ($5,000 each). But if the costs are over $50,000, then your deduction will be reduced by $1 for each dollar over that threshold.
In this case, organizational costs were $9,500, so they can deduct $5,000 during the first year and $4,500 will be amortized over the next 15 years. Startup costs are $54,500, which means that they can only deduct $5,000 - ($54,500 - $50,000) = $500 during the first year. The remaining $54,000 must be amortized over a 15 year period. Total deduction during the first year = $5,000 + $500 = $5,500
The industry that is the most recent target of deregulation is the "electric utility industry".
Electric deregulation is the way toward changing tenets and directions that control the electric industry to give clients the decision of power providers who are either retailers or dealers by permitting competition. Deregulation gives purchasers a choice with regards to their energy provider.
