Answer:
a) Calculate Roquan’s deduction for qualified business income.
qualified business deduction:
- 20% of qualified business income AND less than 20% of total income
- Since Roquan is a single filer, his AGI cannot exceed $213,300.
Roquan's QBI deduction = 20% x QBI = 20% x $90,000 = $18,000
b) Since Roquan's income is higher than $213,300, then he is not allowed any QBI deduction.
Answer:
C. <u>shortage</u>; <u>elastic</u>; <u>the same number of</u>
Explanation:
The law of demand states an inverse relationship between quantity demanded of a good and it's price.
Price elasticity of demand refers to the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price. When quantity demanded changes less relatively to change in price, it is termed as inelastic demand while when the change in quantity demanded is lot more than the change in price, it is termed as elastic demand.
In the given case, after the upper limit price has been capped and fixed, this would create a rush and tickets for the sports events would be sold off since the quantity demanded would rise.
This would result into a shortage since demand shall exceed supply and since the price cannot be raised above $50.
The more elastic the demand, more shortage of tickets it would result into and the same number of people will attend the events i.e the seating capacity is not increased.
Answer:
1. Overhead rate = Overhead costs / Direct material costs
Overhead rate = $684,000 / $1,900,000
Overhead rate = 0.36
Overhead rate = 36%
2. How much direct labor cost and overhead cost are assigned to this job?
Total cost of job in process $71,000
Less: Overhead applied $7,920
($22,000 * 36%)
Less: Material cost of job in process <u>$22,000</u>
Direct labor cost <u>$41,080</u>
Hence, direct labor cost is $41,080 and Overhead cost is $7,920
Answer: b. reduce taxes and cut back on some social programs
Explanation:
When the Economy is not doing well, Social programs are usually targeted as they usually take a lot of money from the Government's coffers.
It is also a generally held view that reducing taxes as a Fiscal policy can help stimulate the Economy by leaving the public with more funds to invest in and spend on the Economy.
The Government of Ruritania is therefore most likely to combine reducing Social programs as well as reducing taxes. This will have the effect of leaving the Government with some money as it loses revenue from taxes whilst also enabling the public to have more money to invest and to spend which will then lead to Economic growth.
