BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

First of all, I believe that their is a mistake on the question, since the FMV of the machine should be $100,000, not $10,000, or else it wouldn't make much sense.

a. What are the amount and character of Mary's recognized gain or loss?

ordinary income of $10,000

The two year note is considered boot and therefore, Mary must report it as ordinary income.

b. What is Mary's basis in the stock and note? When does her holding period begin?

Mary's basis in the stock is $60,000 (the basis of the machine), and $0 for the note (recognized as ordinary income). Her holding period began three years ago when the machine was purchased.

c. What are the amount and character of Green's gain or loss?

Under a carryover basis limit rule (for a section 351 exchange), Green Corporation's basis is reduced, but it not considered a loss or a gain. The basis of the exchanged stock must equal the carryover basis of the property given in exchange.

d. What is Green's basis in the machine? When does Green's holding period begin?

Same as Mary's, the basis is $60,000 and the holding period is 3 years. Since Mary owns 100% of Green Corporation as a result of the exchange, her basis and the corporation's basis will be the same.

Maritime Marine Company has total estimated factory overhead for the year of $986,800, divided into four activities: fabrication

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Estimated costs:

fabrication= $386,400

assembly= $207,900

setup= $112,000

inspection= $280,500.

Fabrication Assembly Setup Inspection

Speedboat: 1,200 dlh 1,800 dlh 60 setups 600 inspections

Bass boat: 1,800 1,200 100 200

3,000 dlh 3,000 dlh 160 setups 800 inspections

First, we need to calculate the overhead rate for each activity:

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

fabrication= 386,400/3,000= $128.8 per direct labor hour

assembly= 207,900/3,000= $69.3 per direct labor hour

setup= 112,000/160= $700 per setup

inspection= 280,500/800= $350.63 per inspection

Now, we can allocate overhead to each product:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Speedboat= 1,200*128.8 + 1,800*69.3 + 60*700 + 600*350.63

Speedboat= $531,678

Bass boat= 1,800* 128.8 + 1,200*69.3 + 100*700 + 200*350.63

Bass boat= 455,126

alisha [4.7K]

The answer is "economic risks".

Economic risk is the possibility that macroeconomic conditions like trade rates, government direction, or political security will influence a venture, typically one in a remote nation. Beside the business hazard related with making the plant profitable, the semi-conductor company is open to economic risk.
