Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

Vernon can only deduct the actual lease expenses incurred during 2016, and that is only three months: October, November and December.

= 3 months x $3,000 per month = $9,000

This logic applies to every expense that is paid in advance, you can only deduct payments that apply for the current tax year.

Katie Kwasi’s utility function is U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2. Given her current income and the current relative prices, she consu
aniked [119]

Answer:

Katie Kwasi's Utility Function

The units of x1 that she will consume after the change in income is:

= 40 units of x1

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Katie Kwasi’s utility function, U(x1, x2) = 2(ln x1) + x2

Current consumption = 10 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

When her income doubles, with prices staying constant, Katie will consume:

= 2(2 * 10 of x1) + 15 of x2

= 40 units of x1 + 15 units of x2

Therefore, she will consume 40 units of x1 and 15 units of x2

b) The above function expresses mathematically Katie's utility to be a function of the units of x1 and x2 that she can consume, given her income constraint.  If her income doubles, Katie will consume double units of x1 and the same units of x2 as she was consuming before the change in income.

babunello [35]

b. No Effect on Taxable Income.

Had there been a business discussion, Joe would have been able to claim a 50% deduction in Tax. However since there was none, there is no effect on Tax.

c. No effect on Taxable Income

The insurance is not tax deductible.

d. $12,750 in taxable income.

Even Joe believes that $2,750 of income might not be collected, he cannot deduct this from taxes until it actually happens therefore his increase in income is $12,750.

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income

The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.

If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

g. $139.15 reduction in Taxable income

Joe drove 96 miles to and fro the factory to his house. This is not tax deductible and considered personal. He however drove 245 miles visiting company sites. This is tax deductible.

The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.

h. $345 reduction in taxable income

Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,

= 175 + 95 + 75

= $345.

enyata [817]

b. $209,900

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Before computing the cash payment made to supplier first we have to find out the purchase amount which is shown below:

And,

(b) Cash paid for operating expenses is
