Answer:

b. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

Explanation:

The options are as follows

a. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to decrease. If total assets decreased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

b. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to increase.

c. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to decrease. If total assets decreased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to decrease.

d. Asset turnover decreased, therefore, total assets had to increase. If total assets increased, yet the return on assets also increased, then net income also had to decrease.

Let us assume the sales is $100,000

So, the asset turnover equal to

Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets

1.6 = $100,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $62,500

Now the return on assets equal to

Return on assets = Profit ÷ Total Assets

15% = Profit ÷ $62,500

So, the profit is $9,375

Now in the current year

The asset turnover equal to

Asset turnover = Sales ÷ Total Assets

1.2 = $100,000 ÷ Total assets

Total assets = $83,333.33

Now the return on assets equal to

Return on assets = Profit ÷ Total Assets

19% = Profit ÷ $83,333.33

So, the profit is $15,833.33

Now the increase in asset and profit is

Increase in asset = ($83,333.33 - $62,500) ÷ (62500)

= 33.33%

And, the increase in profit is

= ($15,833.33,- $9,375) ÷ ($9,375)

= 68.89%

As we can see that the increase in asset decreased but at the same time the increase in profit increases that results in increases in total assets and the increment in return on assets.

During 2019, Dowdy, a C corporation, realized a long-term capital gain of $8,000 from the sale of a tract of land, a short-term
postnew [5]

Answer:

The answer to the following question is $4000.

Explanation:

Dowdy which is a C corporation, has a total of $14,000 in capital gain, in which $8000 comes from sale of tract land and rest of $6000 comes from sale of stock. And the company also has a capital loss of $18,000. So here the company is having a long term capital loss of $4000 ( $18,000 - $14,000 ), and this C corporation can deduct this long term capital loss from their taxable income ( the year in which loss was incurred ) . If in a situation, loss is not deducted from this year , then it can be carried 3 years or 2 years or even 1 years back and if there is capital gain , it can be deducted from it.
