Answer: Option D    

 

Explanation: As per the tax laws, the activities in which the taxpayer has expertise in and he or she is getting some  kind of monetary benefit from performing it, then such activity will be seen as a business.

However, if the taxpayer do not repetitively perform an activity and derives no personal gain other than pleasure from performing such activity, then it will be a hobby.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.

​Zane's Vanes is a service that restores old weather vanes. Zane has just spent​ $125 purchasing a​ 1920s-era weather vane which
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The marginal benefit from selling the vane without restoring it is $200.

Explanation:

Marginal benefits are the extra income a company can get from selling one additional unit of production.

Zane had already spent $250 in purchasing the vane and the restoration process.

Zane has two options:

  1. Sell the vane as it is for $200.
  2. Keep restoring the vane, spend $200 more and sell the vane for $500.

If Zane decides to sell the vane as it is, his marginal benefit will be $200. That would not be enough to cover his costs, this transaction will result in a $50 loss.

If Zane decides to continue the restoration, then his marginal costs will be $200 extra, but his marginal benefit would be $500. If he chose this option he could end up earning a $50 profit.

A stock exchange is a place for the exchange of stocks in the market. In other words, it is a place where investors could 'meet' to buy or sell stocks, be it investments, company shares, or company securities.

On January 1, 2009, Coronado Industries purchased for $690000, equipment having a useful life of ten years and an estimated salv
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

There is not gain in this operation so the answer is $0

Explanation:

There are some journal entries that needs to be done to have a full picture of the statement

* Purchase

Fixed Assets                        690.000

Cash                                                        690.000

* Monthly depreciation

Since, the FA was depreciated during 8 years. Firstly you have to calculate the amount that can be depreciate on a monthly basis

Amount to be depreciated = (Cost of the FA - Salvage value) = (690.000-48.600) = 641.400

Then calculate the yearly depreciation

Yearly depreciation = ((amount to be depreciated/useful life) * years used) =

(641.400/10*8) = 513.120

then the journal entry to record the monthly depreciation for 8 years is

Depreciation expense          513.120

Acc Depreciation                                   513.120

* Post the Journal Entry to record the sell of FA

You have to reverse the Acc Depreciation and credit the FA

Cash                                     152.500

Fixed assets                                         690.000

Acc depreciation                   513.120

Loss on sale of FA                   24.380

Mila [183]

Answer: Cost of Goods sold

Explanation:

Common size analysis refers to making all entries in the income statement, a percentage of sales for that year.

Current Year                                                      Prior Year

Sales                                      100%                           100%

Cost of Goods sold               75.7%                          46.5%

Gross Profit                            24.3%                          53.5%

Operating expenses             17.3%                             35%

Net Income                              7.0%                            18.5%

<em>Looking at the percentages above, one can see that the COGS increased the most from the previous year by going from 46.5% to 75.7% representing an increase of 29.2%.</em>

<em>This had the most impact on Net income as it substantially reduced Gross profit. </em>
