In real state, Aspen denotes the wealthy communities and to meet their needs of service, people from service industry, most of them being middle class people and with low wage, travel back and forth.

Has the taxpayer in each of the following situations received taxable income? If so, when should the income be recognized? Expla

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. Both Charlotte and Joe have received taxable income with a difference in timing. Charlotte will recognize the income in December while Joe will recognize it in January

b. Ed has received taxable income with a difference in timing. It will be recognized in 2016

c. Dayo has received taxable income with a difference in timing. It will be recognized during the year

d. John has received taxable income for the year.

Explanation:

Lets look at each option and understand how taxable income is determined and how the timing will be determined as well.

a. Through the deal that Charlotte made with Joe, each will receive some form of remuneration that will be considered as income. For Joe, the income is in the form of a will which would generally cost him $3000. For Charlotte, it the income is in the form of a gazebo with the same value of $3000. The income will be recognized on the basis of when it is received by each taxpayer. So far Charlotte, the gazebo was received in December, therefore, the income will be recorded in this year only. Joe on the other hand, received his income in January, therefore, he will record the income next year.

b. In December 2015, the value of the stock increases by $600. However, this capital gain is not recognized as income since unrecognized income such as this is not classified as taxable income for the year. Since Ed continues to possess ownership of the stock in December, no income will be recognized in December. Now, Ed sells the stock in March of 2016 and recorded a gain of $500. The capital that he recovered will not be taxed under the law. The gain that he realized on sale of $500 will count towards taxable income for the year 2016.

c. Dayo will not include the bonus as taxable income for the year. For income to be recorded as taxable income, the associated <em>value</em> needs to be received by the taxpayer. As far as Dayo is concerned, she had not received the value of the bonus in December. The check was lost by the mail room which was an act completely beyond Dayo's control. Had Dayo misplaced the check herself she would have had to recognize the income in December. In this case, however, the taxable income will be recognized in January next year.

d. Two things will happen here. First, John will have to record income received from his drug operations as taxable. Even though the nature of the business is illegal, it is included under the umbrella of income. The taxable income from the drug operations would be to the tune of $60,000 which is the profit. Now as far as unemployment benefits are concerned, they are considered as a substitute for income that a taxpayer may earn from other sources. They are tax deductible up to a certain amount but some of it will be considered taxable. Therefore, both incomes will be recorded as taxable income in the current year.

Characteristics of Production Process, Cost Measurement Vince Melders, of EcoScape Company, designs and installs custom lawn and

Ugo [173]

Answer:

1) Job-order costing

2)$ 7.2 per direct labor hour

3)$ 7.941 per direct labor hour

4)Cost of installation= $ 4108.23

Explanation:

In job order costing the cost accounting procedures are designed to assign costs to each job. Then the costs assigned to each job are averaged over the units of production in the job to obtain an average cost per unit.

A process costing system accumulates all production costs for a large number of units of outputs and then these costs are averaged over all the units.

1) As each job is different, requiring different materials and labor for installing the systems Job-order costing will be used.

2) If normal costing is used then the Overhead cost are $50,328

Number of direct labor hours are 6,990

The overhead rate=Overhead costs/ Number of direct labor hours

The overhead rate=$50,328/6,990= $ 7.2 per direct labor hour

3) The average actual wage rate = Actual Overhead costs / Number of direct labor hours

The average actual wage rate = $48,043.05/ 6,050=$ 7.941 per direct labor hour

4) Direct materials=$3,540

Direct labor hours= 30

Actual Direct Labor rate = ($66,550/6,050 )= $ 11

Direct Labor = ($66,550/6,050 )*30 =11*30=$ 330

Overheads 30 *7.941= $ 238.23

Cost of installation= $3,540 +$ 330+$ 238.23= $ 4108.23

The government unit that wants to achieve "revenue enhancement" will find it considerably more favorable to enact an excise tax

boyakko [2]

Answer:

C. highly inelastic

Explanation:

An excise tax on a product will increase its price from the equilibrium point, to a higher point set by the government.

If the government was to enhance its revenue by this means, it should enact the excise tax on products that are highly inelastic.

This is because a highly inelastic product is one whose quantity demanded does not fall considerably even if the price rises a lot.

This means that even if the product is more expensive after the excise tax, consumer will continue to buy it, increasing government revenue in this way.
