What are the criteria for distinguishing between a deductible expense and a capital expenditure?

1 answer:

6 0

The criteria for distinguishing between whether an expenditure is a capital item or a deductible expense is the useful life of the item.

If the purchase is going to be used and no longer have value at the end of the reporting period it is an expense for that period. If the item is a capital item it is going to have a longer useful life. In this case the item is depreciated over its useful life, assigning an expense amount to each accounting period that the item has value.

Answer:

The fixed costs per unit when 20,000 units are produced are $6.05 per unit.

Explanation:

Fixed costs per unit can be determined by using the following formula:

Fixed costs per unit = Total fixed costs/ number of units are produced

In a company, Total fixed costs do not depend on the level of activity (Fixed costs do not change).

In the company, Total fixed cost = $11 x 11,000 = $121,000

When 20,000 units are produced, Fixed costs per unit = $121,000/20,000 = $6.05 per unit.

Banc Corp. Trust is considering either a bankwide overhead rate or department overhead rates to allocate $396,000 of indirect co

Viktor [21]

Answer:

(A) $144,000.

Explanation:

For computing the indirect costs allocated to the Commercial Department first we have to compute the per unit cost which is shown below:

Per unit cost = (Allocated department overhead indirect cost) ÷ (total number of direct labor hours)

= $396,000 ÷ 22,000

= $18

The total number of direct labor hours = Consumer + commercial

= 14,000 + 8,000

= 22,000

Now the indirect cost equal to

= Per unit cost × Commercial direct labor hours

= $18 × 8,000

= $144,000

The demand for the services of trish's computer services has increased. trish employs several workers who diagnose and fix clien

MArishka [77]

Answer:

1) what will happen to the mrp and wages of trish's workers?

the marginal revenue product (MRP) is defined as the additional revenue generated by employing one extra unit of labor. In this case, the MRP will exceed the wages paid by Trish, generating economic rent or above average returns.

2) the wage rate is w2; the old wage was w1. what is the economic rent trish's workers now earn?

If Trish raises her employees' wages due to the increasing in price, then her employees will be earning economic rent = w2 - w1. This means that their wage is higher than the usual wage that would be paid for doing that job.

3) define economic rent.

Economic rent is defined as the additional profit generated by a business that exceeds its opportunity cost.

Economic rent = marginal revenue product – opportunity cost

The opportunity cost is the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another alternative.

In this case, Trish is earning an economic rent with her business because her earnings are higher than any other earnings that she could make by investing in something else.

4) what factors affect the elasticity of supply of the labor supply curve that trish faces as she hires workers?

The elasticity of the labor supply curve shows how much a 1% change in wages affect the quantity of labor supply (in % also).

In this case, the factors affecting the labor supply would be the substitution effect and the income effect of a rise in wages. Both factors are opposite, and in this case I would believe that the substitution effect would be greater.

The substitution effect means that workers will start working more because they are paid a higher wage. they will be willing to give up leisure time in order to work more hours and earn a higher salary.
The income effect means that workers will start working less hours due to higher wages per hour.
