a. Journalize the adjusting entry for the estimated customer allowances.

Dr Sales returns and allowances 10,500
Cr Customer refunds payable 10,500

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

a. 24%

b. 12%

Explanation:

Marginal tax rate is an incremental tax rate that is paid out of the taxable income of a tax payer. It represents the rate at which the last unit of dollar of the taxable income is taxed. The marginal rate for each income bracket is supplied by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Chuck Marginal Tax Rate

a) The marginal tax rate for Chuck if he earns additional $40,000 taxable income will be:

= $75,000 + $40,000

= $115,000

Marginal tax rate for $115,000 is 24% according IRS tax rate schedule.

b) If instead, it is an additional deduction of $40,0000, the marginal tax rate will be:

= $75,000 - $40,000

= $35,000

The marginal tax rate for taxable income of $35,000 is 12% according US tax rate schedule.

Note: the interest is categorized as interest from municipal bond, so it is tax free.

It is also assumed that Chuck is single. Hence, tax rate under single filer applies to him.

On January 2, 2015, Moser, Inc., purchased equipment for $100,000. The equipment was expected to have a $10,000 salvage value at

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

a. Debit Depreciation expense $6,400

Credit Accumulated depreciation $6,400

b. $33,600

Explanation:

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of cost to an asset. It is given as

Depreciation = (Cost - salvage value)/estimated life

When accumulated over time, it is known as accumulated depreciation which is deducted from the cost to get the carrying amount of the asset.

Depreciation

= (100000 - 10000)/6

=$15,000

Between 2015 and start of 2019 is 4 years hence

accumulated depreciation at start of 2019

= $15,000 × 4

= $60,000

Net book value = $100,000 - $60,000

= $40,000

If the asset life is to be extended by 3 years, the remaining useful life changes from 2 to 5 years.

New depreciation rate

= (40,000 - 8000)/5

= $6,400

To record this for 2019,

Debit Depreciation expense $6,400

Credit Accumulated depreciation $6,400

The book value of the equipment at the end of 2019

= $40,000 - $6,400

= $33,600
