Complete Question:
Jon is a cash-basis taxpayer and has adjusted gross income of $40,000 in 2018. During the year he incurred and paid the following medical expenses.
Drugs and medicines prescribed by doctors $300
Health insurance premiums $750
Doctors' fees $2,250
Eyeglasses $75
How much medical expense can he deduct as itemized deduction?
Answer:
Jon
Medical expense that Jon can deduct as itemized deduction:
= $375
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Adjusted gross income = $40,000
Incurred medical expenses:
Drugs and medicines prescribed by doctors $300
Health insurance premiums $750
Doctors' fees $2,250
Eyeglasses $75
Total = $3,375
Under Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), the medical expenses which can be deducted as an itemized deduction on the federal income tax return are only to the extent that they exceed 7.5% of adjusted gross income (AGI).
7.5% of $40,000 = $3,000
Therefore, Jon can itemize deduction of $375 in medical expense.
Answer:
Equivalent units : Direct materials = 916,000 units and Conversion = 895,900 units
Explanation:
Calculation of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
1. Direct Material
Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 100%) = 201,000
Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %) = 715,000
Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 916,000
2. Conversion
Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 90%) = 180,900
Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %) = 715,000
Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 895,900
Answer:
Tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare.
Explanation:
The vast majority of economists (over 90% according to the University of Chicago) agree that tariffs and import quotas generally reduce economic welfare. This is perhaps the normative statement in which economists agree the most.
The reason why is because tariffs and import quotas only benefit a small fraction of domestic producers, to the dismay of a larger number of consumers who end up having to pay higher prices for consumer goods.
Answer:
$25,800 increase
Explanation:
The computation of the adjusted retained earning balance is shown below:
Ending inventory was overstated - no change
Add: Depreciation expense was overstated $24,100
Add: Ending inventory was understated $6,500
Less: Depreciation expense was understated ($4,800)
Adjusted retained earning balance $25,800
Answer: $9025 §1231 loss
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Sumner sold equipment that it uses in its business for $30,800 and that the equipment was bought a few years ago for $79,600.00 and has claimed $39,775 of depreciation expense.
Assuming this is Sumner's only disposition for the year, the amount and type or character of Sumner's gain or loss goes thus:
The book value of the equipment will be:
= $79600 - $39775
= $39825
Since the equipment is sold for $30,800, the loss will be:
= $39825 - $30800
= $9025
It should be noted that there will be no depreciation recapture because the asset is sold for a loss.
