Answer:
a. Ted paid $30 rent on a safety deposit box at the bank. In this box he kept the few shares of stock that he owned.
Is not a business expense nor it can be itemized.
b. Tyler paid $154 for minor repairs to the fence at a rental house he owned.
Repairs and maintenance expenses of rental property decrease your AGI.
c. Timmy paid $775 for health insurance premiums this year. Timmy is employed full-time and his employer paid the remaining premiums as a qualified fringe benefit.
If Timmy's medical expenses were more than 10% of your AGI, then you can deduct the difference. But I doubt Timmy earns less than $7,750.
d. Tess paid $1,880 of state income taxes on her consulting income.
If you itemize deductions, you can deduct up to $10,000 in state or local taxes.
Answer:
The gross profit margin for the cat condo is 50%
Explanation:
Since the gross profit per unit is not given, so first we have to find it. The calculation is shown below:
= Selling price per unit - Direct materials cost per unit - direct labor costs per unit - Manufacturing overhead per unit
= $90 per unit - $15 per unit - $10 per unit - $20 per unit ( $10 per unit × 200%)
= $45 per unit
Now apply the Gross profit formula which is shown below:
= (Gross profit per unit ÷ selling price per unit) × 100
= ($45 per unit ÷ $90 per unit) × 100
= 50%
Answer:
There are several ways in which a young entrepreneur can carry out purchasing activities responsibly, including:
1. Measured production of inventory or units of products- If an entrepreneur is producing bicycles for instance, (s)he should only spend on inventory that (s)he anticipates will be sold to customers or purchased by retailers. For example, let's assume that the entrepreneur has a purchase order from a retailer such as K-Mart for 500 bicycles. In this case the entrepreneur should only produce around 550 bicycles rather than 700 or 1000 bikes, thus, purchasing supplies and producing inventory in accordance with demand for his/ her bicycles.
2. Lowering costs of production where possible- Firstly, this can be done by purchasing supplies and materials for inventory in bulk. Secondly, the entrepreneur could outsource the manufacturing of his/her product to countries (such as China) where production costs are significantly cheaper.
A good process should<u> facilitate the adaptability</u> and remove the inflexibility of a defined procedure of operation.
Answer: Option 1.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A good process is the one which does not remain the same forever. It should have facilities for accepting the changes where ever they are needed. The changes should be done with time.
A good process should not be inflexible and it should be flexible. The flexibility only should make it adaptable to the changes over a period of time for more development.
Answer:
$30,000
Explanation:
Usually, patents do not have a salvage value. If the useful life is 16 years, the amortization rate will be 1/16 x 100
=0.0625 x 100
=6.25%
Before January 2017, the trademark had been amortized for four years ( 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.)
Amortization per year = 6.25% x $400,000
=0.0625 x $400,000
=$25,000 per year: Four year amortization would be
=$25,000 x 4
=$100,000
The Book value as of January 2017 will be
=$400,000 -$100,000
=$300,000
add legal fee
=$300,000 + $60,000
=$360,000
remaining useful life = 16 -4 years = 12 years.
new depreciation rate = 1/12 x 100
=0.08333
Depreciation amount for 2017
= 0.08333 x $360,000
=$30,000
