Two roadway designs are under consideration for access to a permanent suspension bridge. Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to bui

ld and $175,000 per year to maintain. Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain. Both designs are assumed to be permanent. Use an AW-based rate of return equation to determine (a) the breakeven ROR and (b) which design is preferred at an MARR of 25% per year.

Answer and Explanation:

A. Given that Design 1A will cost $1.7 million to build and $175,000 per year to maintain

Given that Design 1B will cost $3.6 million to build and $40,000 per year to maintain

Both designs are assumed to be permanent

To find ROR using AW based rate of return equation, we find present value of each design and equate them:

Each design is permanent so

Present value of perpetuity:

Design 1A= 1700000+175000/r

Design 1B = 3600000+40000/r

=1700000+175000/r=3600000+40000/r

135000/r=1900000

Cross multiply

r=135000/1900000

r= 0.0710

r=7.10%

B Given that ROR=7.10% and MARR is 25%

MARR>ROR

Hence we reject both designs

Determine which of the following statements are correct regarding damaged or obsolete goods. (Check all that apply.)
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1.  Damaged or obsolete goods are not counted in inventory if they cannot be sold.  

2.  If these can be sold… Cost should be reduced to Net Realizable Value

Explanation:

The law relating to the valuation of inventory is that ''inventory should be valued at lower of 'Cost' and 'Net Realizable Value'.

Therefore in the case of damaged or obsolete goods, they have to be eliminated from inventory, otherwise it will lead to overvaluation.

However in the case where these can be sold, They have to be valued at lower of 'cost' or 'salable value', implying that 'Cost' should be reduced to 'Net Realizable Value'

Carl’s business insurance costs $3,000 per year. Carl paid for and purchased a 12-month insurance policy on October 1, Year 1. O
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Carl's Insurance Expense Deduction for Year 2

Since he took advantage of the 12-month prepayments rule, his Year 2 Insurance deduction was deducted in Year 1.

While his deduction should have been equal to

= Annual Insurance Expense/12 x 9 = $3,300/12 x 9 = $2,475

In Year 2, it is equal to $0 since he did not make any payment for Insurance.

Explanation:

Under the cash method of accounting, two rules govern how someone can deduct prepaid expenses:

1. The General Rule

2. The 12-Month Rule

1. The General Rule

Under the general rule, you cannot deduct the full amount of an advance payment covering more than 12 months. You must deduct a portion of the payment in the year to which it applies.

Example: The General Rule.

Carl is a cash method taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 Carl pays $3,600 in advance for business insurance covering three years.

Coverage begins October 1, 2018.

Coverage ends September 30, 2021.

Result:

The general rule applies.

The advance payment covers more than 12 months (36 months).

A portion of the $3,600 must be deducted ratably over the three-year period.

To find the portion of the $3,600 Carl deduct each tax year:

First, divide the $3,600 by 36 (months) to find the monthly premium amount.

Then, multiply the number of months remaining in each tax year by the monthly premium

Monthly premium: $3,600 / 36 = $100 per month.

Oct. 1, 2018 - Dec. 31, 2018: 3 x $100 = $300 deduction for 2018

Jan. 1, 2019 - Dec. 31, 2019: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2019

Jan .1, 2020 - Dec. 31, 2020: 12 x $100 = $1,200 deduction for 2020

Jan. 1, 2021 - Sep. 30, 2021: 9 x $100 = $900 deduction for 2021

The 12-Month Rule

The 12-month rule says that Carl may deduct the full amount of an advance payment in the year the payment is made if it creates rights or benefits for the taxpayer that do not extend beyond the earlier of:

12 months after the right or benefit begins, or

The end of the tax year after the tax year in which payment is made.

Example 1: The 12-Month Rule.

Carl is a cash basis taxpayer on a calendar year.

On October 1, 2018 he pays $2,000 for business insurance covering one year.

The policy begins October 1, 2018 and ends September 30, 2019.

Result:

The 12-month rule applies.

Deduct the full $2,000 in 2018

The benefit does not extend beyond 12 months after the right to receive the benefit begins - October 1, 2018.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the Solomon and Flores form of trust exist in business if bluffing is an accepted rule of business negotiation because bluffing is acceptable in the business. If bluffing is an accepted rule of business negotiation then there is no trust formed between Solomon and Flores and the reason for this is that bluffing is a bad act which makes relationship worse between the partners but in this case trust exist in business due to the rule of bluffing.
