Answer:

This proposal will not work.

Explanation:

All taxes work the same way, it doesn't matter if they are payroll taxes or taxes on goods or services. In this case, labor is the service provided by the employees (suppliers) and the employer is the consumer. A tax increase will reduce the demand for labor, and therefore the equilibrium price of labor (wage) will also decrease. If wages decreases, then workers are not going to be better off, on the contrary they will be worse off. This tax increase will lower both the wage and the employment level.

1. Sid bought a new $1,500,000 seven-year class asset on August 2, 2020. On December 2, 2020, he purchased $900,000 of used five
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

Explanation:

Given the seven-year class asset bought by the Sid = $1500000

On 2nd December the five-year class asset bought = $900000

Now we have to find the cost recovery deduction for 2020.

900000/(900000 + 1500000) = 37.5% Thus, use half-year convention and avoid mid quarter

1500000 – 1,000,000 (Sec 179 limit) = 500000

500000 x 14.29% = 71450

900,000 x 20% = 180,000

1,000,000 + 71450 + 180,000

Cost recovery for 7 year asset = 1,071450

Cost recovery 5  year asset = 180000

Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

For an automobile company, the total overhead applied was $48,000,000 at the end of the year. Actual overhead was $52,850,000. C
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Net income decreased by $4,850,000.

Explanation:

Given total overhead applied = $48000000

The actual overhead = $52850000

Over/under Applied overhead = total overhead applied - Actual overhead at the end of the year.

Over / under Applied overhead = 48000000-52850000

Over / under Applied overhead = -$4850000

From the calculation, it can be seen that the overhead is underapplied therefore when under applied overhead allocated to cost of goods sold then cost of goods sold decreased by $4850000.
