Henrietta, the owner of a very successful hotel chain in the Southeast, is exploring the possibility of expanding the chain into

a city in the Northeast. She incurs $42,500 of expenses associated with this investigation. Based on the regulatory environment for hotels in the city, she decides not to expand. During the year, she also investigates opening a restaurant that will be part of a national restaurant chain. Her expenses for this are $50,600. She proceeds with opening the restaurant, and it begins operations on May 1.
Required:
Determine the amount that Nancy can deduct in the current year for investigating these two businesses. In your computation, round the per-month amount to the nearest dollar and use rounded amount in subsequent computations. If required, round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

Answer:

Total deduction for the year = $48,956

Explanation:

You can deduct investigation expenses but only for new business that is in the same industry as your current business. In this case, Henrietta incurred in $42,500 expenses trying to expand her hotel business. Total deduction for the current year = $42,500.

If the investigation expenses are not related to your current business, e.g. restaurants, then you can capitalize the costs and amortize them only if you actually carried out the expansion.

You can deduct up to $5,000 during the first year but this amount decreases by $1 for every dollar above $50,000. Total immediate deduction = $4,400. The remaining $46,200 must be amortized over 180 months. Amortization per month = $46,200 / 180 = $257

Total amortization for year 1 = 8 months x $257 = $2,056

Total deduction for the year = $42,500 + $4,400 + $2,056 = $48,956

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:  The market demand curve for soft drinks will shift to the left and the market supply curve will shift to the left as well: equilibrium quantity will decrease and the equilibrium price may rise, fall, or remain the same. The graphs below illustrate this idea.

During a certain year, the nominal interest rate was 7 percent, the real interest rate was 4 percent, and the CPI was 198.3 at t
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52

Explanation:

given data

nominal interest rate = 7 percent

real interest rate = 4 percent

CPI = 198.3

to find out

CPI at the beginning of the year

solution

we know that according to fisher equation

1 + r = \frac{1+n}{1+i}    ....................1

and for smaller values is equivalent to r

r = n - i           .....................2

here r is real interest rate and n is nominal interest rate and i is inflation rate

so from equation 2

4 = 7 - inflation rate

inflation rate = 3 percent

so

Rate of inflation = (CPI at the end of the year - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷ CPI at the beginning of the year

put here value

3% = (198.3 - CPI at the beginning of the year) × 100 ÷  CPI at the beginning of the year

CPI at the beginning of the year = \frac{19830}{103}

CPI at the beginning of the year = 192.52

g An increase in demand is represented by a a. movement downward and to the right along a demand curve. b. movement upward and t
Lana71 [14]

Answer: c. rightward shift of a demand curve.

Explanation:

When there is movement along the demand curve, this is due to a change in the price of the good.

However, an increase in demand is noted by a rightward shift in the Demand curve. This is to signify that the demand has changed even though the price had remained the same. This shift is meant to signify that something else apart from price has caused an increase in demand such as an increase in income. After the shift, the price will have to change to reflect a new Equilibrium which will be the new intersection point with the Supply Curve.

I have attached a graph showing what happens when Quantity Demand increases.
