Answer:

Juliette Sporting Goods

Determination of the number of Start-up Costs to Expense Under U.S. GAAP and IRS Reporting:

1) She incurred start-up costs of $3,000.

Juliette can expense $3,000 this first year under US GAAP and for IRS tax purposes.

2) She incurred start-up costs of $42,250.

i) Under U.S. GAAP reporting, Juliette can expense the $42,250 this year.

ii) Under IRS reporting, Juliette can expense $5,000 this first year or elect to expense $2,250 the first year.  The balance of $37,250 (or $40,000) will be amortized.

3) She incurred start-up costs of $51,850.

i) Under U.S. GAAP reporting, Juliette can expense the $51,850 this year.

ii) Under IRS reporting, Juliette can expense $1,850 this first year and the balance of $50,000 would be amortized.

Explanation:

a) For those companies reporting under US GAAP, Financial Accounting Standards Codification 720 states that start up/organization costs should be expensed as incurred.

b) Start-up cost is treated differently for tax purposes:  The IRS allows a deduction of $5,000 in the first year you are in business, provided it is  $50,000 or less.  This deduction must be made in the first year of active engagement in the business.  The balance over $5,000 must be capitalized and amortized over the applicable number of years.

If start-up cost is more than $50,000 but less than $55,000,there is a phase out of the $5,000 deduction. For example, if you spent $51,850, your deduction in the first year would be $1,850 and then the balance of $50,000 would have to be capitalized and amortized.

If startup costs is greater than $55,000, there is no immediate deduction of $5,000 in the first year of active business.  All the costs would be capitalized and then amortized each year as an expense.

The summary is that for tax reporting, the IRS does not allow a start-up cost deduction in excess of $5,000 each year.  And the limit for this amortization of start-up costs is 15 years or 180 months.

Say that Alland can produce 32 units of food per person per year or 16 units of clothing per person per year, but Georgeland can
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Georgeland has an absolute but not a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is defined as the ability of a firm to produce higher amounts of a product as a result of use of the same resources with other competitors. It is usually bad a result of more efficient production process.

Comparative advantage is the ability of a firm to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost. Therefore they are able to sell at lower price compared to competitors.

Georgeland can produce 18 units of clothe per year while Alland can produce 16 units per year, so Georgeland has absolute advantage.

In producing clothes Georgeland has opportunity cost of 36 units of food which is higher than that of Alland which is 32 units of food. So Georgeland does not have comparative advantage in producing clothes.

allsm [11]

Answer: a) Option A

Explanation:

There will be no effect on retained earnings because retained earnings do not increase as a result of shares being sold. It increases when net income increases.

Total paid-in capital increases when stock is sold for higher than its par value or when treasury stock is sold for higher than its acquisition price. The treasury stock here was sold for higher than it was bought so this would increase the total paid in capital.
