We are given the different rates and charges and is asked in the problem the unknown tax rate she pays on meals if the total cost of the trip is equal ot $420.04. In this case, the equation goes: 
80 x 3 + 80 x 0.1 x 3 + 80 x 0.09 x 3 + 109.3 x 1.15 + 109. 3 x z = 420.04
z = 0.08

Answer:

c. 8%

Explanation:

first find the total room cost, and the tax and tip.

80 x 3 = $240 - 3 night rate

240 x 0.10 = $24 - maid tip

240 x 0.09 = $21.60 - room tax

then find the tip on the food.

109.30 x 0.15 = $16.40 - food tip

add it all together and subtract that from the total.

240 + 24 + 21.6 + 109.3 + 16.4 = 411.30 - total without the food tax

420.04 - 411.30 = 8.74 - food tax

now check each of the answers against the amount for the food tax.

109.30 x 0.06 = 6.56

109.30 x 0.07 = 7.65

109.30 x 0.08 = 8.74

109.30 x 0.09 = 9.84

So, the answer is C. 8%

Curvilinear costs always increase: a. When management performs break-even analysis. b. When volume increases, but at a nonconsta
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

The correct option is : b. When volume increases, but at a nonconstant rate.

Explanation:

Curvilinear costs is a type of expense that <u>does not increase at a constant rate with the production volume.</u> It tends to have a sudden increase at low production volumes, then remains constant in the middle and then increases at high production volumes.

2.A company began 2019 with retained earnings of $23.45 million. During the year, it paid four quarterly dividends of 0.25 per s
Naily [24]

Answer: $23.63 million

Explanation:

First and foremost, we can calculate the quarterly common stockholder dividend which will be:

= $0.25 × 1 Million

= $0.25 million

Then, the annual dividend to the common stockholders will be:

= $0.25 million × 4

= $1 million

The quarterly preferred stockholder dividend will be calculated as:

= $0.50 × 0.50 Million

= $0.25 million

We would then multiply $0.25 million by 4 to get the annual dividend attributable to the preferred stockholders which will be:

= $0.25 million × 4

= $1 Million

Total Dividend would then be:

= Annual dividend to common stockholders + Annual dividend to preferred stockholder

= $1 Million + $1 Million

= $2 Million

The value of the retained earnings balance at the end of the year will then be:

= Retained Earnings at the beginning of the year + Net Income – Dividend

= $23.45 + $2.18 - $2.00

= $23.63 million

Farr, an unmarried taxpayer, had $70,000 of adjusted gross income and the following deductions for regular income tax purposes:_
Karolina [17]

Answer:

C. $11,000

Explanation:

For computational purposes, both the Mortgage interest as well as the miscellaneous itemized deducted qualify as deductions based on the Schedule A which is the regular tax purposes.

However, only Mortgage interest will be allowable itemized deduction because miscellaneous itemized deductions fall under the category of adjustments and as such do not qualify for deductions under the AMT which is the Alternative Minimum Taxable Income.

Based on the explanation, only $11,000 of mortgage interest qualifies.
