Answer:

option (B) 172,000

Explanation:

Given:

Amount for her loss of future income = $240,000

punitive damages = $160,000

Taxable income = $12,000

Now,

Christie must include in gross income the $160,000 of punitive damages received and the $12,000 for the previously deducted medical expenses. also,

Under tax benefit rule Medical expense recovery is included in gross.

Therefore,

Christie's Gross income in 2020 = Punitive damages + Taxes

= $160,000 + $12,000

= $172,000

Hence,

The correct answer is option (B) 172,000

Hodge Inc. has some material that originally cost $74,600. The material has a scrap value of $57,400 as is, but if reworked at a
Burka [1]

Answer:  If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).

Let's see why:

1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =

57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.

2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =

54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.

Then comparing the 2 situations =

(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's first determine the free cash flow of the firm

Particulars                            Years

                          1                         2                   3

EBIT                  540                   680                750

<u>Tax at 36%    (0.36*540)       (0.36*680)        (0.36*750)    </u>

Less:               345.6                  435.2            480

Net Capital -

Spending            150                   170                 190

<u>Change in NWC    70                    75                  80      </u>

Less:                    125.6              190.2                210

The terminal value at the end of T =(3  years) is:

= \dfrac{Free \ cash \ flow}{unlevered \ cost - expected \ growth  \ rate}

= \dfrac{250}{0.1643-0.04}

= \dfrac{250}{0.1243}

= 2011.26

Finally, the value of the firm can be computed as follows:

Years                  Free Cash Flow        PVIF           PV

1                          125.6                        0.6589        107.88

2                         190.2                        0.7377         140.31

3                          210                           0.6336       133.06

<u>Terminal Value  2011.26                    0.6336        1294.33     </u>

<u>Value of the firm   ⇒                                               $1655.58</u>

What is the term of shipping directly from the supplier to the end consumer rather than from the​ seller, saving both time and r
Citrus2011 [14]

The term which describes the shipping who directly supplies from the supplier to the end consumer rather than from the​ seller, saving both time and reshipping​ costs is "Drop Shipping."

<h3>What is drop shipping?</h3>

When a vendor creates a website & sells items that they do not maintain in stock, this practice is known as drop-shipping.

Some key features of drop shipping are-

  • A third party, such as a manufacturer, another store, or a wholesaler, receives an order from the seller and ships the products straight to the customer.
  • A rapidly spreading trend involves online middlemen who charge you more money by keeping the difference between both the wholesale and prices.
  • Although drop-shipping is not prohibited, there is a lot of potential for issues and abuse on the part of both customers and sellers.
  • Following an online purchase, the drop-shipping company sends the ordered item directly to the consumer.
  • It provides both big and small businesses with a way to source goods, earn some extra cash, and free up some storage space.
