Keren Wiseman is an employee of Dimensionworks Designs in New Mexico. She received the following achievement awards from her emp
puteri [66]

Answer:

$2,300

Explanation:

Assuming that the requirements for qualified plan awards are otherwise satisfied, each award by itself would be excluded from income.

The excludable amount or deduction is $1,600 out of total amount of awards.

Total amount of awards = Design + Graphic + Employee  of the year

                                         = $1,340 + $1,775 + $785

                                          = $3,900

Taxable awards = Total amount of awards – Excludable amount

                            = $3,900 – $1,600

                             = $2,300

However, because the $3,900 total value of the awards is more than $1,600, Keren must include $2,300 in his taxable income.

When underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is prorated, amounts can be assigned to which of the following accounts?
laila [671]

Answer:

b. Cost of Goods Sold, Work-in-Process Inventory, and Finished-Goods Inventory.

Explanation:

Whenever manufacturing overheads are prorated and under-applied or over-applied, then they are charged to inventory or cost which includes overheads as part of it.

As for instance, raw material inventory do not include any overheads, it is just the purchase price of inventory, as no work is performed on it.

Cost of goods sold, includes all the cost incurred to sale the good, from acquiring raw material to converting finished goods, and then adding the sales expense the goods are sold.

Finished goods include every material and overhead to convert the item into finished state and usable state.

Work in process is half way completed, or the percentage prescribed and includes raw material, includes overheads, but the product is somewhere more than raw inventory and less than finished good.

Therefore, correct option is:

b.

A monopsonistic employer in an unorganized (nonunion) labor market will: Group of answer choices pay a wage rate in excess of la
pogonyaev

Answer:

pay a wage rate less than labor's MRP

Explanation:

A monopsonistic employer in an unorganized (nonunion) labor market will: "pay a wage rate less than labor's MRP"

The above statement is based on the idea that Monopsony is a market situation whereby a single buyer or firm is the only purchaser of a good or service, which in most cases has to do with the purchase of labor.

And given the fact that the firm is the sole purchaser of labor, where there is no labor union, there is a high tendency that such firm or employer pays a wage rate less than labor's marginal revenue productivity.
