Answer:

Direct Labor rate Variance  $ 24840 Unfavorable

Labor Efficiency  Variance  $23520 favorable

Explanation:

Direct Labor rate Variance = Actual Hours * Actual Rate- Actual Hour * Standard Rate

Direct Labor rate Variance = 24840*15- 24840*14

                                                = 372600- 347760    

                                            = $ 24840 Unfavorable

Labor Efficiency  Variance =  Actual Hours * Standard Rate- Standard Hour * Standard Rate

Labor Efficiency  Variance =  24840*14- 4*6630*14

                                           =  24840*14- 26520*14

                                         = 347760 - 371280= $23520 favorable

Jurisdiction E spends approximately $7 million each winter on snow removal. The jurisdiction is considering adding a new income
frez [133]

Answer:

'Taxes' can be defined as a compulsory contribution to the state's or country's revenues, which are levied by the governments on personal incomes of individuals or profits of the corporate, or on some transactions.

Taxes are the main source of revenues for any government, through which it receives the necessary funds to spend on various activities it undertakes for public welfare and maintaining the law and order and security of the nation.

Many theorists believe that every tax should be evaluated on certain standards and the following four standards have been mentioned for evaluating whether taxes are good or not:

  1. Taxes should be sufficient to fulfill the government's requirements
  2. Taxes should be convenient for the government to implement and for the citizens to pay
  3. Taxes should be efficient economically
  4. Taxes should be fair

There may be certain provisions introduced in the federal tax system, which are targeted to induce certain behaviors or shift people's attention towards certain activities. These provisions are called tax preferences

Does this proposed change in Jurisdiction E's tax law meet the definition of a tax preference? Explain briefly.

In the given question, the decision of the jurisdiction to give deduction to the people for the snow removal equipment they purchase, is definitely a tax preference as it induces people to invest in snow removing machines, as they are getting full deduction of such expense in income taxes.

By having this provision, the government is motivating people to invest in these machines, and people also have the benefit of having such machine with them, and also getting tax deduction for such expense, so getting such machine almost free (this applies to people who have incomes in such tax bracket only). Thus it is the way of government in encouraging people to buy snow removing machines and reduce the burden on the government. Thus it is clearly a tax preference.

Jurisdiction E forecasts that the proposed change will decrease its annual tax revenues by $250,000 but will improve the jurisdiction's financial condition by $300,000. On what assumptions is this forecast based?

The forecast regarding decrease in annual tax and improvement in financial condition is based on the assumptions of people taking benefit of such a provision, and actually investing in snow removing machines.

The jurisdiction believes that people will purchase the machines and make claims for deductions, effecting the tax revenue by $250,000. But at the same time, as many people will themselves remove the snow, the government doesn't have to spend so much on snow removal and thus make the savings of $300,000

All of the following must be disclosed on municipal bond trade confirmation EXCEPT: A "In Whole" call dates B For revenue bonds,
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. For general obligation bonds, the source of income backing the issue.

Explanation:

There is no requirement to disclose the source of income that supports a general obligation issue because it must be a taxing power. The MSRB requires that the type of income that supports an income bond issue be disclosed, as well as the name of the corporate guarantor of the industrial income bonds. The dates of the calls "in their entirety" must also be disclosed in the customer confirmations, as they may affect the price of the issuance according to the rules of the MSRB (the MSRB requires that if a bond quoted based on performance is negotiated with a premium, and if it is enforceable "in its entirety" on pre-established dates and prices, then the dollar price must be calculated at the date of the call instead of the expiration date, since it is most likely to be called ).

A country with a population of eight million adults has five million employed, 500,000 unemployed, and the rest of the adult pop
Serggg [28]

The unemployment rate is calculated as the number of eligible persons that are unemployed.

So we would need to remove all the population that is out of the workforce (those who are not eligible to work like the elderly or children).

We know that the total population is 8,000,000 and we can account for 5,500,000 of them so the eligible population of workers is 5,500,000.

If 500,000 of them are unemployed, the rate would be 500,000/5,500,00 or 9%

To find the share of the labor force, take the total eligible (5,500,000) divided by the total population (8,000,000)

5,500,000/8,000,000 = 68.8% of the total population is in the labor force.
