Answer:

D. None of the above

Explanation:

Proper double entry bookkeeping requires that there must always be an offsetting debit and credit for all entries made into the general ledger. To record accounts payable, the accountant credits accounts payable when the bill or invoice is received. The debit offset for this entry is typically to an expense account for the good or service that was purchased on credit. The debit could also be to an asset account if the item purchased was a capitalizable asset. When the bill is paid, the accountant debits accounts payable to decrease the liability balance. The offsetting credit is made to the cash account, which also decreases the cash balance.

aev [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is C: underapplied by $2,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Martinez Manufacturing applies overhead based on direct labor hours.

The company estimates that their overhead for the year will be $180,000 and that they will use 72,000 direct labor hours.

During the year, Martinez Manufacturing used 75,000 direct labor hours and actual overhead costs were $190,000

We need to calculate if the overhead was under or over applied and in what amount.

Predetermined overhead rate= total estimated manufacturing overhead for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined overhead rate= 180000/72000= $2.5 an hour

Now, we can calculate the amount of overhead allocated:

Overhead allocated= 75000 hours*2.5= $187,500

Over/under applied= actual overhead - allocated overhead= 190,000 - 185,500= $2,500 underapplied

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

2) the taxpayer shows negligence or disregard of the rules or regulations, causing an underpayment.

Explanation:

When any taxpayer shows some negligence or if they disregard the rules and the regulations, causing an underpayment, then it leads to a penalty for the disregard or the negligence.

Also, when a taxpayer intentionally understates his or her tax by a larger of $5000 or a 10% of his / her correct tax, then it is an accuracy related penalty.

And, also the information related penalties which are levied for failure of taxpayer to pay the amount of tax owed by due date and also failure to filing the return by the due date.

Thus option (2) is correct.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Contribution Margin=Sales - variable cost =$8.75-$3.50=$5.25

Contribution Margin Ratio = Contribution Margin / Sales = $5.25/ $8.75=60%

Pre-Tax Net Income=Net Income/(1-tax rate)

$117,600/(1-0.36)=$183,750

Target Revenue =Fixed cost +Target Pre-Tax net Income/Contribution margin Ratio =($430,500+$183,750)/0.6=$1,023,750

2. Number of customers needed to Break Even

Fixed costs/Contribution margin per unit=$430,500/$5.25=82,000 Customers

Number of customers to earn 117,600 = (Fixed costs + 117,600)/5.25 = (430,500+117,600)/5.25 = 104,400

Sales (170,000*8.75) 1,487,500

Less: Cost of goods sold (170,000*3.50) -595,000

Contribution margin 892,500

Less: fixed costs -430,500

Net Income before tax 462,000

Less: tax rate (462,000*36%) - 166,320

Net Income after tax 295,680
