Answer:

A) A credit to accumulated depreciation of $14.4 Million

Explanation:

The complete journal entry should be:

  • Dr Asset XXX account 24,000,000
  • Cr Accumulated Depreciation account 14,400,000
  • Cr Retained Earnings account 9,600,000

First of all the asset must be recorded at full value.

Accumulated depreciation would be credited for 3 years = ($24 / 5) x 3 = $4.8 x = $14.4

Since the depreciation expense lowered the net profits during 2018, the retained earnings must be adjusted for the remaining value = $24 - $14.4 = $9.8

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $2,295.48
  • administrator $1,993.98

Explanation:

                                           regular earnings     overtime    withholding  

                                                                                              allowances

Consultant                        $4,000 per week       N/A                2

Computer programmer          $60 per hour        1.5                  1

Administrator                          $50 per hour          2                  2

computer programmer worked 50 hours = ($60 x 40) + ($60 x 10 x 1.5) = $3,300

administrator worked 48 hours = ($50 x 40) + ($50 x 8 x 2) = $2,800

Social security taxes:

  • Consultant = 6% x $4,000 = $240                        
  • Computer programmer = 6% x $3,300 = $198        
  • Administrator = 6% x $2,800 = $168

Medicare taxes:

  • Consultant = 1.5% x $4,000 = $60                        
  • Computer programmer = 1.5% x $3,300 = $49.50        
  • Administrator = 1.5% x $2,800 = $42

Federal income taxes:

  • Consultant: amount subject to withholding = $4,000 - (2 x $75) = $3,850. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,850 - $1,796) = $932.02                        
  • Computer programmer = amount subject to withholding = $3,300 - (1 x $75) = $3,225. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($3,225 - $1,796) = $757.02            
  • Administrator = amount subject to withholding = $2,800 - (2 x $75) = $2,650. Federal income taxes = $356.90 + [28% x ($2,650 - $1,796) = $596.02  

Gross pay:

  • consultant $4,000
  • computer programmer $3,300
  • administrator $2,800

Net pay:

  • consultant $4,000 - ($240 + $60 + $932.02) = $2,767.98
  • computer programmer $3,300 - ($198 + $49.50 + $757.02) = $2,295.48
  • administrator $2,800 - ($168 + $42 + $596.02) = $1,993.98

What kind of bread is boiled before it is baked?
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

Breads such as bagels and pretzels are made by boiling them first because boiling sets the crust before it is placed in the oven. The starch on the exterior quickly gels and forms a barrier. This keeps the water from penetrating very far into the bread. Bagels are usually boiled for 30 to 60 seconds per side.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a) $28 Million

b) -$24 Million

Explanation:

The first part of the question is to determine the pension liability tht should be reported in the balance sheet

To do this, we use the following formula

Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets

= $65 million - $37 Million = $28 Million

Part B) This part says to dettermine the amount JDS would report if the planned asset increase to $89 million

The formula Projected Benefit Obligation - The Plan Assets  still should be used but there is a difference as follows

$65 million - $89 Million = -$24 Million
