Rip garage, inc. (459 ellis avenue, harrisburg, pa 17111), is an accrual basis taxpayer that repairs automobiles. in late decemb

er 2017, the company repaired samuel mosley's car and charged him $1,000. samuel did not think the problem had been fixed, so he refused to pay; thus, trip refused to release the automobile. in early january 2018, trip made a few adjustments under the hood; trip then convinced samuel that the automobile was working properly. at that time, samuel agreed to pay only $900 because he did not have the use of the car for a week. trip said "fine," accepted the $900, and released the automobile to samuel. an irs agent thinks trip, as an accrual basis taxpayer, should report $1,000 of income in 2017, when the work was done, and then deduct a $100 business loss in 2018. prepare a memo to susan apple, the treasurer of trip, with your recommended treatment for the disputed income.

Answer:

<u>MEMO</u>

To: Treasurer of Trip Garage, Inc.

From: Me

Subject: Dispute over accrued revenue

Mrs. S. Apple,

Good evening. Regarding your dispute over accrued revenue generated form the repair of Mr. Mosley's car, I must inform you the following:

Trip Garage, Inc., is an accrual basis taxpayer, therefore, revenues must be recorded once the repair service was completed, not when the invoice was collected.

In future occasions when similar problems show up, you should record an allowance for doubtful accounts. This way, if you believe that an account receivable is unlikely to be collected, it will be not considered for the year's financial records. This adjusting journal entry must be recorded before the end of the year, if not, all related revenues must be included in the years income statement.

Regards,

Me

Explanation:

Accrual taxpayers are required to record revenues once the revenue generating activity has been completed, i.e. Trip should have recorded $1,000 in revenue during 2017:

Dr Accounts receivable 1,000

    Cr Service revenue 1,000

If Trip didn't consider that it would be able to collect the $1,000 receivable, then it should have recorded it as bad debt expense:

Dr Bad debt expense 1,000

    Cr Allowance for doubtful accounts 1,000

If thy did not record the bad expense, then the IRS agent is right, and the $1,000 must be included in the 2017 income statement.

Anna is willing to spend $500 for the bike she wants. if she finds a bike store where the price of the bike she wants is only $4
muminat
The answer is $100. The consumer surplus is $100 because that is the difference between what Anna has set as her ceiling for the purchase of the bicycle, $500, and then subtracted by the amount that she actually does pay, $400, that difference is what is referred to as consumer surplus. What the consumer is mentally committed to paying minus what the consumer actually pays.

Your buddy in mechanical engineering has invented a money machine. The main drawback of the machine is that it is slow. It takes
NemiM [27]

Based on the amount it would cost to build the machine and the interest rate as well as the payoff, the following are true:

  • A. $333
  • B. $667

a. The machine will take a year to build which means the payoff will only start coming in next year.

First find the present value of the perpetuity:

= 70 / 5%

= $1,400

You then need to find the present value of the above in the current period:

= 1,400 / ( 1 + 5%)

= $1,333

NPV is:

= 1,333 - 1,000 cost

= $333

B. If the amount produced increases by 1%, you should use the Gordon Growth Model:

<em>= Next payoff / ( Interest - Growth)</em>

=70/ ( 5% - 1%)

= $1,750

Take this to current year:

= 1,750 / 1.05

= $1,667

NPV will be:

= 1,667 - 1,000

= $667
