Answer:

Head of household; 2 dependents

For filing under 'head of household' status, a taxpayer must fulfill following conditions:

1. Taxpayer must pay more than 50% of household expenses.

2. In the tax year, the taxpayer must be unmarried.

3. The taxpayer must have either a qualifying child or a dependent.

John fulfills all the above conditions.

Therefore, John can file as 'head of household'.

He can claim 2 dependents on his 2018 tax return, his father and mother.

Tom [10]

If the marginal product for that employee is greater than for the previous employee hired, it must be that there are gains from specialization

<h3>What is marginal product ?</h3>
  • The marginal product or marginal physical productivity of an input (factor of production) in economics, and particularly neoclassical economics, is the change in output that results from using one more unit of a specific input (for example, the change in output when a firm's labor is increased from five to six units), assuming that the quantities of other inputs are kept constant.
  • The marginal product is the mathematical derivative of the production function with respect to that input if the output and the input are infinitely divisible, in which case the marginal "units" are infinitesimal.
  • When more of one input, such as labor, is used while maintaining a constant level of the other input, such as capital, the marginal product initially rises according to the "rule" of declining marginal returns.

The following information relates to Kew Company's Vale Division for last year: sales .................................. $500,00
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$114,000

Explanation:

The computation of the residual income is shown below:

As we know that

Residual Income = Net operating Income - Average Operating assets × Required rate of return

where,

Net Operating Income is

= Sales Revenue - Variable Costs - Fixed Costs

= $500,000 - $300,000 - $50,000

= $150,000

And,

Average operating Assets is

= Net Operating Income ÷ Return on Investment

= $150,000 ÷ 0.25

= $600,000

So, the residual income is

= $150,000 - $600,000 × 6%

= $150,000 - $36,000

= $114,000

On January 1, 2016, Tonika Company issued a four-year, $10,000, 7% bond. The interest is payable annually each December 31. The
disa [49]

Answer:

Option C is correct one.

Interest expense 773

Discount on bonds payable 73

Cash 700

Explanation:

2016 interest expense  = initial issue price, which is the 1/1/2014 book value x the market (effective) interest rate

= $9,668 x 08

= $773

Cash interest payment

= maturity value of the bond x the stated interest rate = $10,000 x .07

= $700  

Amortization of discount on bonds payable

= interest expense - interest cash payment

= $773 - $700.

= $73
