Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They can either take the payments over 10 years or settle today for cash of $25 million. Mr. Richard is optimistic that he can earn a 6% return on the money and that they should settle for $25 million today and he will invest it for them.

First, we need to find the present value of the 30 million.

To do that we need to calculate the final value.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {3,000,000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= 39,542,385

PV= FV/(1+i)^n= 39,542,385/1.06^10= 22,080,261

B) Now we know that the present value of option B is higher. One dollar today is better than one dollar tomorrow. It is better to receive the money now to invest it.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

The journal entry that is to be recorded on May 1 is shown below:

Explanation:

May 1

The first entry to be posted:

Accounts Receivable A/c...................Dr     $5,800

       Sales A/c............................................Cr      $5,800

As the company made a sale, so the sale is credited and it made against the accounts receivable. Therefore, accounts receivable account is credited.

The second entry to be posted is as:

Costs of goods sold A/c....................Dr   $4,000

       Merchandise inventory A/c...................Cr   $4,000

The cost of the goods sold amounts to $4,000. So, the account of COGS is debited and it is against the inventory. Therefore, the merchandise inventory is credited.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

Gain recognized by Tom is $10000

So option (b) will be correct answer

Explanation :

We have given liability on bulding assumed by Paul Corp = $30,000

Tom's adjusted basis in the building = $20,000

Since the liability assumed by Paul Corp on the building is greater than Tom's adjusted basis, Tom must recognize gain equal to the difference between the liability on the building and his adjusted basis.

So gain recognized by Tom = $30,000 - $20,000 = $10,000

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

b) $113,000

Explanation:

For the computation of net income under absorption costing first we need to follow some steps which is shown below:-

variable overhead per unit = $105,000 ÷ 35,000

= $3 per unit

The Variable cost of production per unit

Particulars                       Amount

Direct material                  $19.00

Direct labor                       $21.00

Variable overhead           $3.00

Variable cost of production

per unit                              $43.00

Cost per unit of finished goods under absorption costing

Particulars                             Amount

Total direct material cost $665,000

($19 × 35000)

Total direct labor              $735,000

($21 × 35000)

Total variable overhead $105,000

Total fixed overhead       $175,000

Total                                 $1,680,000

Units in finished goods = Number of units produced - units sold

= 35,000 - 21,000

= 14,000

Cost of finished goods under variable costing

= Variable cost of production per unit × Number of units in finished goods

= $43 × 14,000

= $602,000

Cost of goods sold

= Production cost - Finished goods  cost

= $1,680,000 - $602,000

= $1,078,000

Income statement under absorption costing

Particulars                        Amount

Sales revenue                $1,491,000

($71 × 21,000)

Less: cost of goods sold -$1,078,000

Gross Profit                      $413,000

Less : operating expenses -$300,000

Net operating income          $113,000

Marc and michelle are married and earned salaries this year of $70,400 and $14,400, respectively. In addition to their salaries,
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Since we are not given any specific year, I will use the 2020 tax schedule:

Marc and Michelle's gross income = Marc's and Michelle's salaries + interest from corporate bonds = $70,400 + $14,400 + $1,300 = $86,100

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

<u>contribution to IRA = ($3,300)</u>

Marc and Michelle's taxable income = $58,400

Marc and Michelle's tax liability = $1,975 + [12% x ($58,400 - $19,750)] = $6,613

Alimony payments are not longer tax deductible and interests on municipal bonds is not taxable.

Since their income tax withholdings exceed their tax liability, they should get a refund for $6,665 - $6,613 = $52

Also, since they are allowed a $2,000 child tax credit, but they do not owe any more taxes, they are entitled to a $1,400 refund.

Total refund for 2020 = $1,452.
