Answer: Depreciation is tax deductible
Explanation:
Depreciation on assets is recognized by tax authorities as an expense that a business actually incurs so when the income statement is calculated, depreciation needs to be removed as the expense that it is so that taxes can be calculated on the profit.
Depreciation however, does not take actual cash from the company i.e the company does not actually pay anyone cash for depreciation like most other expenses. It needs therefore to be added back to the Free Cash Flow because the FCF deals with how much actual cash the company has which is something that Depreciation being a non-cash expense did not reduce.
Answer:
C. Debit Service Fee Expense for $6
Explanation:
McGregor only uses the services of the Credit Card company for their own activities, therefore, aside from the income of the service provided of $200, the credit card company will charge McGregor for the use of credit card services by the customer.
As such, since it is the decision of the customer to pay with a credit card, then the customer must bear the service fee expense of 3% of the cost of the service which is $6. Hence, Option C is correct. It means aside the $200 for the service, there is a need to debit service fee expense for $6
Option D is wrong because only $200 is service revenue, it has to be clearly stated that the 3% of $6 is different from the service revenue and should be debited as service fee.
If the customer is reluctant to make the payment, then there is an allowance to pay cash instead of using the credit card service.
Answer: a tax equal to the external cost.
Explanation:
The most efficient taxes are those that will be equal to the external cost of production that a company is imposing on the environment. This means in effect that a company is paying for the pollution it is inflicting on the environment.
Companies polluting less would pay less and those polluting more would pay more. This is the logic of a tax equal to the external cost.
Answer:
$5,000 favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the total variable overhead variance is given below:
= Budgeted machine hours allowed for actual output × Budgeted variable overhead rate per machine hour - Actual total variable overhead
= 32,000 hours × $2.50 - $75,000
= $80,000 - $75,000
= $5,000 favorable
Since the favorable is more than the actual so it should be favorable
