Answer:

Comer's tax liability for 2018 = $33300

Explanation:

Before determining Comer's tax liability for 2018, we need to understand what gross income is and what forms part of gross income. Gross income is total amount of income from various sources minus/plus and additions and deductions. Income from salary is earned in the ordinary course of work/business which is definitely part of gross income. Capital gain is refers to gain/profit/income from sale of capital assets such as property, shares, stocks, piece of land. Any gains and losses form part of gross income and capital losses are reported as deductions meant to reduce investors tax liability just as capital gains should be taxed.

Lets first calculate gross income and then apply tax rate to determine tax liability.

Gross income = salary + Short-term & long-term capital gains - short-term & long-term capital losses

GI = $64000 + $31000 + $9000+$15000 -$2000 -$6000

GI = $111000

Assuming the tax rate is 30%, the tax liability for the year is as follows:

Tax liability = $111000×30%

Tax liability = $33300

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Class envy.

Explanation:

In behavioral economics, the endowment effect explains why an individual could give a higher value to an object that posses than giving a low value when the individual does not have it. The approach implies the object has symbolic importance for the individual while having it.  

A good example of the endowment effect refers to a teacher that gives one of his classes' students mugs as gifts. The value of the students who received mugs was higher than the value of those who did not get one.

Accounts receivable $1,050,000
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

c. $ 84,000 increase

Explanation:

The entry when the company wrote off uncollectible accounts:

Debit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $16,000

Credit Uncollectible accounts $16,000

It makes Account receivable decrease: $16,000

In 2007, Sales on account that were not collected = $290,000 - $172,000 = $118,000

It makes Account receivable at the end of the year increase: $118,000

At 12/31/07,

1. Accounts receivable was: $1,050,000+$118,000-$16,000=$1,152,000

2. Cash realizable value = Accounts receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts = $1,152,000 - $108,000 = $1,044,000

From 12/31/06 to 12/31/07, cash realizable value from the balance increase:

$1,044,000 - $960,000 = $84,000

When Bill's Diner moves from the production combination of 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs to the combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

<h2>In the context of Consumer Theory or Indifference Curve involving two goods,the opportunity of any one good is computed by how much of the other good is foregone or sacrificed to purchase one more unit of that particular good.</h2>

Explanation:

  • In this instance,when Bill's diner consumes 35 burgers and 25 hotdogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dog=\frac{35}{25} =\frac{7}{5}=1.4.Therefore,initially Bill diner's opportunity cost of an additional hot dog is 1.4 units of burger.
  • Now,when Bill's diner chooses to consume a combination of 25 burgers and 65 hot dogs,its opportunity cost of additional hot dogs=\frac{25}{65} =\frac{5}{13} =0.385 approximately.Hence,Bill's diner is willing to sacrifice approximately 0.385 units of burger to consume an additional unit of hot dog.
  • Now,due to the change in consumption combination,the change in opportunity cost of additional hot dog=(1.4-0.385)=1.015 units of burger.Notice,that here the opportunity cost of additional hot dog decreased from 1.4 units of burger to 0.385 units of burger as Bill's diner changed the consumption combination of both burgers and hot dogs.

Big Time Widgets has the following inventory data: December 1 Beginning inventory of 15 units at $6.00 per unit December 7 Purch
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.

Explanation:

As per LIFO method, we have Last In First Out which means the item which is last added in inventory will be sold first.

In the given instance we have things as following:

1 December       opening      15 units         $6.00 per unit           $90.00

7 December      purchased   50 units       $6.60 per unit           $330.00

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

Balance after sales

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

20 December    Purchased  30 units      $7.50 per unit              $225

29 December    Sales          15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Balance

15 units @ $6.00 per unit = $90.00

5 units @ $6.60 per unit = $33.00

15 units @ $7.50 per unit = $112.50

As stated above, under LIFO we have Last In First Out

Cost of goods sold

12 December     Sales           45 units        $6.60 per unit           $297.00

29 December    Sales           15 units        $7.50 per unit              $112.5

Total cost of goods sold in December = $297 + $112.5 = $409.5

In case periodic inventory system had been used then,

no proper record is maintained, for cost at which the goods are acquired, and therefore average method is followed, since no proper cost record is maintained.

Final Answer

Cost of goods sold on a LIFO basis for December = $409.50

If periodic inventory system is followed then, there is no proper weekly record, proper record is missing and therefore, average method is followed, in that case usage of LIFO or FIFO is not suggested.
