Answer:

The amount of administrative cost chargeable to tax planning services would decrease by $32,500

Note: Kindly find an attached copy of the complete question below

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

In this example, the total cost of administrative charged to tax planning services is given as =$270,000 * 55%

=$148,000

Now,

The activity based cost system is shown below:

Cost                 Amount           Cost driver          Consulting     Tax planning

Staff support  200,000      No of clients served     35%              65%

In house com-  

puting charges 50,000     Computers hrs logged   30%             70%

Misc office

Cost                   20,000         No of clients

                                               Transaction                  20%              80%

Total                  $270,000

Thus,

Activity                    Workings         Allocated to tax planning services

Staff support        200,000 * 65%             130,000

In house Comp-

uting Charges        50,000 * 70%              35,000

Misc office costs    20,000 * 80%              16,000

The total cost

allocated                                                       $181,000

So, the change in amount allocated to tax planning services under this system is = $181,000-$148,500

= $32,500

Seven years ago, you paid $324,800 to purchase a rental house. the maintenance expenses average $200 a month and property taxes
Mariulka [41]

The value that would be assigned to this house if you decide to use it as your office would be $ 425300

<h3>How to solve for the value of the house using opportunity cost</h3>

To get the value of the house, you have to get the opportunity cost of the house. This is the foregone alternative or benefits forgone due to another choice.

The formula is opportunity cost = Apprised Value - Selling costs

The apprised value = $439,500.

selling cost =  $14,200

$439,500 - $14,200

= $ 425300

Hence the value that should be assigned to it is $ 425300

If your purchases of shoes increase from 9 pairs per year to 11 pairs per year when your income increases from $19,000 to $21,00
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Here, shoes are normal goods as there is a positive relationship between the income level of the consumer and the quantity demanded for shoes. It can be seen that as the income of the consumer increases from $19,000 to $21,000 then as a result the quantity of pairs of shoes demanded increases from 9 to 11 pairs. Normal goods are generally have positive income elasticity of demand.

Therefore, the shoes are normal goods in this case.

Gilbert Company made an ordinary repair to a delivery truck during 2016 at a cost of $500 and capitalized the repair cost. What
Leto [7]

Answer:

The answer is:

Asset will be overstated

Net income will be overstated

Explanation:

Because of the incorrect capitalization(the process of converting or adding to a firm's asset):

1. Assets are overstated. Assets that shouldn't are added to the entire assets are added. So it's increasing the company's asset whereas it's not.

2. Net income are overstated. Because depreciation too will have to be charged for the asset that wasn't there, therefore, net asset will be overstated.

Why is bad weather sometimes good news for farmers?
Ierofanga [76]
<span>(D) is the most correct answer. When the weather is bad, this will shift the supply curve of (mostly inelastic) farm goods to the left. This will, in turn, raise the equilibrium price that farmers will be able to receive for the products. All else equal, this will raise the overall profit that the farmers will receive, even in times of bad weather.</span>
