Answer:

Option (D) 16.57%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Realized gain

r₁ = 20%

r₂ = 20%

r₃ = 10%

Now,

Geometric average = [(1+r_1)\times(1+r_2)\times...\times(1+r_n)]^{\frac{1}{n}} - 1

here,

n = 3

therefore,

Geometric average = [(1+0.20)\times(1+0.20)\times(1+0.10)]^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1

or

Geometric average = [1.584]^{\frac{1}{3}} - 1

or

Geometric average = 1.1657 - 1

or

Geometric average = 0.1657

= 0.1657 × 100%

= 16.57%

b. The Employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation for each of the two classes of employees are as follows:

High (0.35) = $10,775.57

c. The Employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit for each of the two classes of employees are as follows:

Low (0.15) = $6,750

High (0.35) = $6,750

d. The cost in employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit will be less than employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation.

Explanation:

a. How much taxable compensation is the equivalent of $9,000 of exempt compensation for each of the two classes of employees?

Note: See part a of the attached excel file for the calculation of Before Tax Compensation for each of the two classes of employees.

From part a of the attached excel, the Before Tax Compensation for each of the two classes of employees are as follows:

Low (0.15) = $11,635.42

High (0.35) = $14,162.08

b. What is the company’s after-tax cost of the taxable compensation computed in part (a)?

Note: See part b of the attached excel file for the calculation of Employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation.

From part b of the attached excel, the Employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation for each of the two classes of employees are as follows:

Low (0.15) = $9,394.15

High (0.35) = $10,775.57

c. What is the company’s after-tax cost of the exempt compensation?

Note: See part c of the attached excel file for the calculation of Employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit.

From part c of the attached excel, the Employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit for each of the two classes of employees are as follows:

Low (0.15) = $6,750

High (0.35) = $6,750

d. Briefly explain your conclusions from the preceding analysis.

Comparing employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit in comparison and employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation, it can be seen that cost in employer's after tax cost of exempt benefit will be less than employer's after tax cost of taxable compensation.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Joint costs allocated to Product Y = $60,000

Explanation:

Given:

Particular     Product Units     Produced Sales

X ​                       5,000               ​$70,000

Y                        ​3,000 ​              $30,000

<u>Z ​                       2,000 ​              $100,000</u>

<u>Total                   10,000         </u>

Joint costs allocated to Product Y = (Total Joint costs × Y's total unit) / Total units produced

Joint costs allocated to Product Y = ($300,000 × 3,000) / 10,000

Joint costs allocated to Product Y = $90,000
