You are the manager of a large​ crude-oil refinery. As part of the refining​ process, a certain heat exchanger​ (operated at hig

h temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through​ it) must be replaced every year. The replacement and downtime cost in the first year is ​$175 comma 000175,000. This cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 77​% per year for sixsix years​ (i.e. until the EOY 77​), at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed. If the​ company's cost of capital is 1515​% per​ year, how much could you afford to spend for a higher quality heat exchanger so that these annual replacement and downtime costs could be​ eliminated?

During the year (not a leap year), Anna rented her vacation home for 87 days, used it personally for 13 days, and left it vacant
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

<u>Anna can deduct up to US$ 10,000, so she can deduct as an itemized deduction the payment of US$ 2,500 on real estate taxes she made.</u>

Explanation:

Any taxpayer can deduct real estate taxes on the federal income tax return.  For 2019, the IRS says a taxpayer can deduct up to $10,000 ($5,000 if you're married filing separately) But limits apply and you have to itemize to take the deduction.

<u>Therefore, Anna can deduct up to US$ 10,000, so she can deduct as an itemized deduction, the payment of US$ 2,500 on real estate taxes she made.</u>

The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Solution :

Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                         = 5,700 x (1 + 15%)

                         = $ 6555

Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                       = 4200 x (1 + 15%)

                       = $ 4830

Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)

                           = $ 1725

Taxes (34%)  = 510 x (1+15%)

                     = $ 586.5

Net income = sales - cost - taxes

                   = 6555 - 4830 - 586.5

                   = $ 1138.5

Calculation of total asset :

Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15

                      = $ 4485

Fixed asset   = 8100 x 1.15

                      = $ 9315

Total asset = 4485 + 9315

                  = $ 13800

Calculation of total liabilities

Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15

                            = $ 2530

Long term debt = $ 3,750

Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )

          = $ 7189

Total liabilities  = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189

                          = $ 13, 469

Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469

                                                                       = $ 331
