kogti [31]

Answer:

Cheap & effective

Explanation:

this source of labor was easily abusable and by having people you don't need to pay and spend barely anything on feeding them it makes it easier to build the USA. I don't agree with the USA being founded on this but other countries were doing this so the USA did it also.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

C. A surplus of agricultural goods

Explanation:

Un-intervened markets are at equilibrium where Market Demand = Market Supply. Market Supply curve is upward sloping, due to price - supply direct relationship. Market demand curve is downward sloping, due to price - demand inverse relationship. Both curves intersect at equilibrium.

Price floor is minimum mandated price by government, below which a good cant be sold in the markets. It is usually set above market price, to protect the interest of sellers. Eg : Minimum Support price, of agricultural goods, set for protecting interests of sellers (farmers) from volatile prices.

This mandate set artificially high price : leads to supply being more than demand, as supply is directly & demand is inversely related to price. So, supply > demand implies that agricultural goods are at surplus in markets.

Duc has been employed by Longbow Corporation for 25 years. During that time, he bought an annuity at a cost of $50 per month ($1

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

a. How much gross income does Duc have from the contract in the current year?

According to the IRS, Duc's life expectancy is 90 years and 8 months, or 310 more months. This means that Duc can discount from his monthly income $15,000 / 310 = $48.39 (which we must round down to $48).

Duc received 8 x $200 = $1,600

deductions = 8 x $48 = $384

taxable income = $1,216

b. Assume that Duc dies on April 2, 2025. How does Annika account for the contract in 2025?

Annika should account for the contract in the same way as Duc did, and will also be able to discount $48 per month form her gross income. Since Annika will still file her taxes as married during 2025, she will report net income from this contract = ($200 - $48) x 12 months = $1,824

c. Assume the same facts as in part b and that Annika dies on August 4, 2032. How does the executor of Annika's estate account for the contract in the year of her death?

Both Duc and Annika received [(2032 - 2019) x 12] + 4 = 160 payments in total, so her estate is entitled to a tax deduction = (310 - 160) x $48 = $7,200

Since she died on August, her estate must also report income = ($200 - $48) x 8 = $1,216

An electronic firm invested $60,000 in a precision inspection device. It cost $4000 to operate and maintain in the first year an

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

$9,287.63

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Amount invested = $60,000

Operating cost for the first year = $4000

Operating and maintaining cost after 1 year = $3,000

Selling price = $60,000

Now,

Amount paid extra in the year 1 = $4,000 - $3,000

= $1,000

EUAC ($)

= $60,000 × A/P(10%, 4) + $3,000 + $1,000 × P/F(10%, 1) × A/P(10%, 4) - [ $60,000 × P/F(10%, 4) × A/P(10%, 4) ]

= [ $60,000 × 0.3155 + 3,000 + 1,000 × 0.9091 × 0.3155 ] - [ 60,000 × 0.6830 × 0.3155 ]

= [ $18,930 + $3,000 + $286.82 ] - [ $12,929.19 ]

= $9,287.63

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

$30.1

Explanation:

Adjusted basis refers to the net value of an asset after considering depreciation and capital investments. It is the net value of an asset.

Adjusted taxable income is the income after adjusting for depreciation and interest.

For a sole proprietorship, the income of the business is the same as owners' income.

For Renee, adjusted taxable income will be,

Total revenue= $85M

Net expenses equal to total revenue minus depreciation minus interest paid

=$78.1, - $10.1 - $12.7

=$54.9

Adjusted taxable income= Total revenue - net expenses

= $85 - $54.9

=$30.1
