Paul [167]

Answer:

The maximum contribution is $3,850

Explanation:

The contribution eliminate isn't pertinent if the single citizen under age 50 doesn't take an interest in the business supported arrangement and most extreme measure of $5,500 can be asserted for charge year 2019.  

As Williams takes an interest in the business supported arrangement and he is under age 50, the IRA contribution will eliminate for money above $63,000 up to $73,000.The most extreme breaking point is $5,500 .

Compute the contribution as follows:

[($66,000 - $63,000)  / ($73,000 - $63,000 )] × 100 = 30%,

Thus, 30% contribution will phase out and 70% of maximum limit is allowed. Therefore, maximum contribution is $5,500 x 70%, i.e. $3,850.

Consider the following data: currency (held outside banks) = $354 billion, checkable deposits = $250 billion, traveler's checks
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a). M1=$808 billion

b). M2=1,068 billion

Explanation:

M1 is the money supply that is the most liquid and is or can be easily converted into cash. The formula for calculating M1 is;

M1=C+D+T+S

where;

M1=money supply

C=currency held outside banks

D=checkable deposits

T=traveler's checks

S=small-denomination time deposits

In our case;

M1=unknown

C=$354 billion

D=$250 billion

T=$4 billion

S=$200 billion

replacing;

M1=(354+250+4+200)=$808 billion

M1=$808 billion

M2 includes elements of M1 and additional  money supply that are near liquid. The formula is;

M2=M1+savings deposit+mutual funds

where;

M1=$808 billion

savings=$100 billion

retail money market mutual funds=$160

replacing;

M2=(808+100+160)=1,068 billion

M2=1,068 billion

1-a. Allocate the lump-sum purchase price to the separate assets purchased. 1-b. Prepare the journal entry to record the purchas
marin [14]

Answer:

1. a. Allocated prices

First add the market values = 444,150 + 255,150 + 56,700 + 189,000 = $945,0

00

Building allocated price                                     Land allocated price

= 444,150/ 945,000 * 830,000                        = 255,150/945,000 * 830,000

= $‭390,100‬                                                           = $224,100

Land improvement allocated price                  Four vehicles allocate price

= 56,700/945,000 * 830,000                          = 189,000/945,000 * 830,000

= $49,800                                                        = $166,000

b. Journal entry

Date                 Account Details                             Debit                   Credit

Jan. 1, 2017      Building                                       $390,100

                        Land                                            $224,100

                        Land improvement                     $49,800

                        Vehicles                                      $166,000

                        Cash                                                                         $830,000

2. Depreciation on building using straight-line method.

= (390,100 - 28,000) / 15

= $‭24,140‬

3. Depreciation on land improvements using double declining method.

First do straight line:

= 49,800/ 5 years

= $9,960

Straight line rate of depreciation = 9,960/49,800 = 20%

Double declining will be twice that rate = 40%

Depreciation = 40% * 49,800

= $‭19,920‬
