Answer:

3.45%

Explanation:

the real wage at the beginning of the recession (12/07) = nominal wage / price index Dec. 2007 = $17.70 / 2.1141 = $8.3721

the real wage at the end of the recession (6/09) = nominal wage / price index June 2009 = $18.53 / 2.14527= $8.6609

% change in real wage = [($8.6609 - $8.3721) / $8.3721] x 100 = 3.44955% = 3.45%

Due to the recession, the price index changed less than the nominal wages since the inflation rate was very low. It is normal that during recessions, specially severe ones, the inflation rate decreases or even turns negative (what happened in Europe in those years).

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Equivalent units

Materials= 40,000 units

Conversion= 36,000 units

Explanation:

Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work

Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory

Conversion cost

<em>Item</em>                                            <em>     equivalent units</em>

Opening inventory 40% × 5,000 =     2,000

Fully worked units 100% × 30,000= 30,000  

Closing inventory 40%× 10,000=      <u> 4,000 </u>

Total equivalent unit                       <u>    36,000</u>

Notes

The following notes explains the computation of the items of equivalent unit for conversion cost:

1. DOC for opening inventory is 40% i.e 100%-60%. Remember that 60% work has been done in the previous period, so the balance is to be done in this current period  

2. Fully work represent the units of inventory introduced in the current period and completed in the same period. Meaning 100% work was achieved in the period.  

3. Closing work is only 40% completed. This represent work started this period but not yet completed.

Material  cost

<em>Item   </em>                                               <em> equivalent units</em>

Opening inventory 0% × 5,000 =         0

Fully worked units 100% × 30,000= 30,000  

Closing inventory 100%× 10,000=   <u> 10,000 </u>

Total equivalent unit                         <u> 40,000</u>

Notes

The following notes explains the computation of the items of equivalent unit for Material cost:

1. DOC for opening inventory is 0% i.e 100%-1000%. Remember that materials are added at the beginning. Hence all the materials required for the opening inventory had been added in the previous period

2. Fully work represent the units of inventory introduced in the current period and completed in the same period. Meaning 100% materials  was added in the period.  

3. All the materials required for the closing inventory were added in this period, hence, 100% degree of completion was used

Equivalent units

Materials= 40,000 units

Conversion= 36,000 units

he Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(a) The firm's Income tax liability is $59,771.25.

(b) The firm's after-tax income is $233,478.75.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows

The Talley Corporation had a taxable income of $345,000 from operations after all operating costs but before (1) interest charges of $69,000, (2) dividends received of $17,250, (3) dividends paid of $20,700, and (4) income taxes. Its federal tax rate was 21% (ignore any possible state corporate taxes). Recall 50% of dividends received are tax exempt. What are the firm's income tax liability and its after-tax income?

The explanation to the anwer is now given as follows:

Adjusted taxable income = Income after operation - Interest charges + Taxable dividend received ................. (1)

Where;

Income after operation = $345,0000

Interest charges = $69,000

Taxable dividend received = 50% * $17,250 = $8,625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Adjusted taxable income = $345,000 - $69,000 + $8,625 = $284,625

(a) Income tax liability = Adjusted taxable income *  Tax rate = $284,625 * 21% = $59,771.25

(b) After-tax income = (Adjusted taxable income - Income tax liability) + (50% of dividend received) = ($284,625 - $59,771.25) +  (50% * $17,250) = $224,853.75 + $8,625 = $233,478.75
