Answer:

correct option is C. $250,000

Explanation:

given data

sold the home and gain = $300,000

to find out

amount of the gain allowed to exclude from gross income

solution

we know that Michael owned the property for the 10 years

so here Michael is not allowed to exclude the gain = 10 % that is $30,000

and The maximum gain exclusion permitted =  $250000

so here Michael will recognize $50,000 because amount exceed $250,000 for a single taxpayer and exclusion of gain on sales of property tax payer need to own and occupy the property as principle residence for the  2 out of 5 year immediately preceding the sales

so here correct option is C. $250,000

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $21 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
Grace [21]

Answer:

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

Explanation:

Break even point = \frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution per unit}

Fixed Cost = $8,100

Contribution per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost = $21 - $18 = $3

1. Break even points in units will be

= \frac{8,100}{3} = 2,700 units.

2. Break-even point in dollar sales

= Break even point in units X Sale price per unit

= 2,700 units X $21 = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales

= \frac{8,100 + 600}{3} = 2,900 units

Final Answer

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

For an analysis of the salaries of your​ company, you plot the salaries of all employees against the number of years they have w
Arisa [49]

Answer:

1. That values that you must plot are:

  • (1, 4.08))
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

2. Yes, the plot of those three points is straight enough.

Explanation:

<em><u>A. What are the values you will​ plot? </u></em>

The x-ccordinate of your plot is still the number of years the exmployees have worked for the company.

The y-coordinate of your plot is the the​ base-10 logarithm of  the salary.

Therefore:

<u>1) A​ part-time shipping​ clerk</u>: 1 year, $12,000

           ⇒     (1,log_{10}12,000)=(1,4.08)

<u>2) A manager</u>: 20 years, $120,000

  ⇒     (20,log_{10}120,000)=(20,5.08)

<u>3) The​ CEO</u>: 40 years​ ago, $1,500,000

  ⇒     (40,log_{10}1,500,000)=(40,6.18)

Summarizing, the points to plot are:

  • (1, 4.08)
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

<u><em>B. Will the plot of these three points be straight​ enough?</em></u>

To find whether the plot is straight enoguh, you may either plot them, make a regression, or, since they are only three points, you can whether the change of rate of the points is constant.

  • <u>Change of rate of the first two points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (5.08 - 4.08) / (20 - 1) =1.00/19 ≈ 0.05

  • <u>Change of rate of the second and the third points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (6.18 - 5.08) / (20 - 1) = 0.05

Since both rate of changes are equal (or reasonably equal) the plot is  straight enough.

Which of the following scenarios could lower a firm’s demand for labor? Correct Answer(s) James operates a restaurant in a seasi
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

James operates a restaurant in a seaside tourist town. It is winter and all the tourists have left

Rex invests in new computer software that will automate his bookkeeping.

Explanation:

In winter, the patronage at James' resturant would drop because tourists would have left. Because demand at the resturant has dropped, James would reduce his demand for Labour which are his staffs. He would let some staffs go temporarily to reduce costs .

If Rex invests in a software that automates his book keeping, he wouldn't need an accountant to help with his book keeping, so demand for labour would fall.

After Katie's competition closes down, more people would patronise Katie. Katie's demand for Labour would increase because of the influx of customers.

Amy would need labour to obtain wood; her demand for Labour would increase.

If school is just resuming, there would be a high influx of people into the bookstore, the bookstore would increase its demand for Labour because of the high influx of customers .

I hope my answer helps you.
