Answer:

$633,000.

Explanation:

We use the High-low method to get the cost formula:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}High&14,250&710,000\\Low&9,250&570,000\\Diference&5,000&140,000\\\end{array}\right]

This means 5,000 machine hours generate 140,000 labor cost

We divide and get the variable cost generate per machine hour:

Cost 140000

machine hours 5000

140,000/5,000 = 28

variable cost 28

Next, we use this to calculate the fixed cost:

total cost = variable cost + fixed cost

fixed cost = total cost - 28 X DL

<u>High:</u>

Total Cost 710,000

Variable 399,000 (14,250 x 28)

Fixed Cost 311,000

<u>Low:</u>

Total Cost 570,000

Variable 259,000 (9,250 x 28)

Fixed Cost 311,000

Now with the cost formula we solve for 11,500 machine hours

cost = 311,000 + 28 X Machine Hours

cost = 311,000 + 28 x 11,500

cost = 633,000

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.

Q3) At an output level of 45,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 2.79. If output rises to 48,000 u
Luden [163]

Answer:  18.6%

Explanation:

Degree of operating leverage =  % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output

% change in Output

= \frac{48,000 - 45,000}{45,000}

= 6.7%

Degree of operating leverage =  % change in Operating cash flow / % change in output

2.79 = % change in Operating cash flow/ 6.7%

% change in Operating cash flow = 2.79 * 6.7%

% change in Operating cash flow = 18.6%
