Answer:

Lena's ordinary gain/loss resulting from these transactions are:

sales value - book value = ($18,480 - $16,800) + ($5,460 - $8,400) = $1,680 - $2,940 = -$1,260 or $1,260 loss

Lena must recognize an ordinary gain of $1,680 due to depreciation recapture for the equipment sold in April. But she must also recognize a section 1231 capital loss for the sale of the second equipment. Section 1231 losses are treated as ordinary losses while section 1231 gains are treated as capital gains. Since both the gain and the loss is treated as ordinary gains/losses, then she can deduct the net loss from her gross income.

Answer:

Lena only has an ordinary gain not a capital gain.  

Explanation:

Depreciation from the sale of first equipment = Selling amount - Adjusted basis = $18,480 - $16,800 = $1,680

Loss from the sale of second equipment = Selling amount - Adjusted basis =  $5,460 - $8,400 = $2,940 loss

Since Lena only has depreciation recapture of $1,680, which falls within $0–$38,600 for a single tax payer, from the sale of the first asset and a loss of $2,940 from the sale of second asset, Lena only has an ordinary gain not a capital gain.

Plan production for a four-month period: February through May. For February and March, you should produce to exact demand foreca
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May

In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers

In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.

In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.

The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.

5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .

In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.

The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.

o-na [289]

Answer:

A. orders for merchandise are generated at the store level based on sales data captured at POS terminals.

Explanation:

In a pull marketing strategy, the company focuses on targeting customers to want the product under consideration specifically. For this the company focuses on targeting customers directly by providing straight discounts when bought from production houses directly.

This basically ignores the role of retailers and middle persons in the supply chin. Companies target the customer in such manner so that customers directly contact the producing houses.

Accordingly, orders are booked in store level only, through estimated sales study.
