Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received

a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 40 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 12 percent on her investments. When should she pay the $20,000 bill— this year or next?

Answer:

Paying the $20,000 in December is the clear winner. Accelerating her payment from January to December will increase the present value of the cash outflow by a few days. Thus, there is a minor present value cost associated with accelerating her payment.

Explanation:

Option 1: Pay $20,000 bill in December:

$20,000 tax deduction x 40% marginal tax rate = $8,000 in present value tax savings

After-tax cost = Pretax cost - Present Value Tax Savings

= $20,000 - $8,000 = $12,000

Option 2: Pay $20,000 bill in January:

$20,000 x 40% = $8,000

Present Value of Tax savings = $8,000 x .893 (Discount factor, 1 year, 12%) = $7, 144

After-tax cost = Pretax cost - Present value tax savings

= $20,000 - $7,144 = $12,856

If you deposit $100 of currency into a demand deposit at a bank, this action by itself
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

A) Does not change the money supply.

Explanation:

Demand deposits change the monetary base, because the monetary base equals currency plus demand deposits.

However, in itself, a demand deposit does not change the money supply. For the change in the money supply to occur, the bank must loan out some of the money in the deposit.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Bond issuance:

Dr cash                                          $710,000

Dr discount on bonds payable    $40,000

Cr bonds payable                                           $750,000

The payment of interest on December 31, 2018:

Dr interest expense     $50,000

Cr discount on bonds payable    $5000

Cr cash                                           $45,000

Explanation:

The bonds were issued at a discount to their face value, as a result, the discount on bonds payable is computed thus:

discount on bonds payable=$750,000-$710,000=$40,000

Bonds payable would be credited with $750,000 while cash and discount on bonds payable would be debited with $710,000 and $40,000 respectively

annual discount amortization=$40,000/8=$5000

annual coupon=$750,000*6%=$45000

erastova [34]
<span>The amount of interest expense recognized by Congo Express Airways would be $199,334 after one year of being issued. This is calculated by finding 6% of the $3,700,000 which is $222,000. Then subtracting the amortized amount of $22,666 per annum, which was found by doubling the 6 month rate of $11,333. This gives you a total of $199,334.</span>
