Answer:

The answer is: B) $175

Explanation:

Caroline made an income of $500 from this transaction and it should be taxed at ordinary income rate (35%).

Caroline´s taxes = $500 x 35% = $175

In order for Caroline to be taxed at 15% (capital gains rate) she should have sold a capital asset that she had owned for more than one year, but in this case she didn´t sell any stock.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

a. -$783 Unfavorable

b. 550 Favorable

Explanation:

a. The computation of Variable Overhead Rate Variance is shown below:-

Variable Overhead Rate Variance = Actual hours × (Standard Variable Overhead rate per hour - Actual Variable Overhead rate per hour)

= 8,700 × ($4.10 - ($36,540 ÷ 8,700)

=  8,700 × ($4.10 - $4.19)

= 8,700 × -$0.09

= -$783 Unfavorable

b. The computation of Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance is shown below:-

Variable Overhead Efficiency Variance = Standard Variable Overhead Rate per Hour ×  (Standard Hours for Actual Production - Actual Hours)

= 5.5 × ((5.5 × 1,600) - 8,700)

= 5.5 × (8,800 - 8,700)

= 5.5 × 100

= 550 Favorable

Damm [24]

Answer:

$31.9211

Explanation:

We discount the future two year dividends at the required rate of return

and solve for the present value of the infinite series of dividends growing at 3.6% with the dividend grow model:

\frac{D_1}{r-g} =PV

\frac{2.4 (1.036)}{0.11-0.036} = PV

PV 33.6

Then we discount this by the two years ahead of time these cashflow start and add them to get the PV of the stock which is their intrinsic market value

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}Year&cashflow&PV\\&&\\1&3&2.7027\\2&2.4&1.9479\\2&33.6&27.2705\\&TOTAL&31.9211\\\end{array}\right]
