Marc and Michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $64,000 and $12,000, respectively. In addition to their salaries,

they received interest of $350 from municipal bonds and $500 from corporate bonds. Marc contributed $2,500 to an individual retirement account, and Marc paid alimony to a prior spouse in the amount of $1,500 (under a divorce decree effective June 1, 2005). Marc and Michelle have a 10-year-old son, Matthew, who lived with them throughout the entire year. Thus, Marc and Michelle are allowed to claim a $2,000 child tax credit for Matthew. They are also able to claim $2,900 in recovery rebate credit ($2,400 for Marc and Michelle and $500 for Matthew). Assume they did not receive the recovery rebate in advance. Marc and Michelle paid $6,000 of expenditures that qualify as itemized deductions and they had a total of $3,500 in federal income taxes withheld from their paychecks during the year. (Use the tax rate schedules).

Answer:

I will use the 2020 tax schedule since recovery rebate credit applies to 2020:

Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $64,000 + $12,000 + $500 = $76,500

they should choose the standard deduction since it is higher than their itemized deductions = ($24,400)

contribution to IRA = ($2,500)

alimony payment = ($1,500) the divorce agreement was settled on 2005

Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $48,100

Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($48,100 - $19,750)] = $5,377

Interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.

The amount of taxes that they owe = $5,377 - $3,500 (federal tax withholdings) = $1,877

Refundable tax credits:

$2,000 in child tax credit

$2,900 in recovery rebate credit

total = $4,900

taxes payable or refund = tax liability - refundable tax credits = $1,877 - $4,900 = -$3,023.

Marc and Michelle should get a refund for $3,023

a. The amount and the character of the gain or loss is

Sale value of the property $550,000

Less: (Purchase value - depreciation) $400,000

Rate of tax on $50000 i.e. 15% = $7500

So,

The Total tax liability is

Liula [17]

Answer:

$92,400

Explanation:

Coolwear incorporation has a balance in its prepaid insurance account of $48,400

In 2018, $86,000 was paid for insurance

At the end of 2018, the balance was $42,000 after adjusting entries were recorded

= $48,400 + $86,000-$42,000

= $134,400-$42,000

= $92,400

Hence the insurance expense for 2018 is $92,400

Talja [164]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": influencer, gatekeeper, and decider.

Explanation:

As Mark's business is family-owned, it implies all the decisions are not made only by him. Then, in purchasing a food concession trailers he will have to let the other members of the family know about this decision.

Mark already decided Century Industries is the best option to take for the trailers but needs to influence his point of view to his family members. In other words, Mark will be the gatekeeper between his family business and Century Industries.

A company sold 3,000 units at $500 each. Variable expenses were $350 per unit, and fixed expenses were $780,000. The same variab
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

6,000 units

Explanation:

We know that

Break even point in units = (Fixed expenses ) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)  

where,  

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit

The selling price would be

= $500 - $500 × 4%

= $500 - $20

= $480

And, the Variable expense per unit is $350

So, the contribution margin per unit would be

= $480 - $350

= $130

So, the break even point in  unit should be

= $780,000 ÷ $130 per units

= 6,000 units
