Answer:

The present value is   $19,039

Explanation:

The computation of the Present value is shown below

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor

The discount factor should be computed by

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate) ^ years

where,  

rate is 2%  

Year = 0,1,2,3,4 and so on

Discount Factor:

For Year 1 = 1 ÷ 1.02^1 = 0.9804

For Year 2 = 1 ÷ 1.02^2 = 0.9612

For Year 3 = 1 ÷ 1.02^3 = 0.9423

For Year 4 = 1 ÷ 1.02^4 = 0.9238

So, the calculation of a Present value of all yearly cash inflows are shown below

= (Year 1 cash inflow × Present Factor of Year 1) + (Year 2 cash inflow × Present Factor of Year 2) + (Year 3 cash inflow × Present Factor of Year 3) + (Year 4 cash inflow × Present Factor of Year 4)

= ($5,000 × 0.9804) + ($5,000 × 0.9612) + ($5,000 × 0.9423) + ($5,000 × 0.9238)

= $4,901.96  + $4,805.84  + $4,711.61  + $4,619.23

=  $19,039

We take the first four digits of the discount factor.

In each of the following situations, indicate whether the 50% reduction for meals applies.
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Each year, the employer awards its top salesperson an all-expense-paid trip to Jamaica.

  • This should be considered as part of the employees' compensation (and the employee should be taxed), therefore, the company can deduct 100% of it.  

The employer has a cafeteria for its employees where meals are furnished at cost.

  • Cafeteria meals are not included in the 50% deduction.  

The employer sponsors an annual Labor Day picnic for its employees.

  • This is considered a recreational activity paid by the employer, so the 50% deduction does not apply.  

Every Christmas, the employer gives each employee a fruitcake.

  • It is a fringe benefit, although I doubt that the employees are taxed for receiving a fruit cake. There is no 50% deduction. (referred to as de minimis fringe benefit)

The taxpayer gives business gifts to her clients at Christmas.

  • Business gives are not subject to a 50% deduction, instead they are subject to a $25 limit.
