Answer:

Question option include: a. if Helen's marginal tax rate is 35 percent, how much would she save by holding the stock an additional month before selling? b. what might prevent Helen from waiting to sell?

Solution

Per share increase in price = $20

No of shares = 1000

Total capital gain = 1000 * $20 = $20,000

Tax rate if hold for one year more = $20,000 * 15% = $3,000

If sold immediately and taxed as short term capital gain, then  = $20,000 * 35% = $7,000  

So if shares are held for more than a month a tax of {($7000 - $3000) = $4,000} can be saved.

b  In a month shares prices may fall and capital appreciation would be reduced and this will increase the risk associated with the investment and she will not to wait for the liquidity for a month more.

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited
