Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
First and foremost, it should be noted that there's a flat tax rate of 21% on the taxable income, therefore the after tax income will be:
= (1 - 21%) × $1 million
= 79% × $1 million
= $790,000
Therefore, the amount of the dividend payment is $790,000 which is given to Leona.
The after tax cash flow from the dividend receipt will be:
= $790,000 - (20% × $790,000)
= $790,000 - (0.2 × $790,000)
= $790,000 - $158,000
= $632,000
Therefore, the total tax by Henly and Leona will then be:
= $210,000 + $158,000
= $368,000.
This is 36.8% (368000/1 million) of the tax rate.
The amount of compensation expense Crane should record for 2017 under the fair value method is $207000
<u>Solution:</u>
From the given,
Stock options for 63000 shares
$10 par value common stock
$25 per share and the option price was $20
Total compensation expense = $627000
On calculating we get,

We can conclude that there is $207,000 decrease. Therefore, the correct answer is option c.
Answer:
Capital gain tax = $1,540.
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For stocks of A
Profit = (selling price - purchasing price) × units
= ($19 - $23) × 200
= -$800
For stocks of B
Profit = ($57-$41) × 600
= $9,600
Total profit = profit for stock A + profit for stock B
= -$800 + $9,600
= $8,800
Therefore, capital gain for both year = $8,800
Tax rate = 35%
Capital gain tax = Capital gain × Tax rate
= $8,800 × 35%
=$3,080
As share holds for more than a year,
So, Capital gain tax = $3,080 ÷ 2 = $1,540.
Answer:
The correct answer is $2,500,000,000.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:
Operating capacity = 80%
Sales = $2 billion
Fixed assets = $600,000,000
So, we can calculate the level of sales by using following formula:
Level of sales = Sales ÷ operating capacity
= $2,000,000,000 ÷ 80%
= $2,500,000,000
Answer: No, this was merely Carl's opinion.
Explanation:
Labelling a statement as an opinion generally protects the person who said it from defamation suits however this is not always the case.
If the opinion is based on disclosed and well known facts, the action is free of defamatory or libel charges.
This seems to be the case in this scenario as his column seems to be based on the performances for the year.
Bottomline is, Stella cannot sue Carl for libel as it is his opinion.
