You have been working for home-building companies for a number of years. You enjoy construction work, and now you want to start

your own home-building company that you will run yourself You quit your previous job that had been paying $40,000 per year. You have $40,000 in your savings account that you withdraw to start this company. The savings account had been paying you 5% interest. Because the $40,000 from your savings is not enough to start the company, you also borrow $2,300,000 from the bank. (The bank manager is willing to loan you such a large amount because he knows of your reputation and experience in the home-building industry) You use the money to hire workers and buy the tools, machinery, and raw materials with which you will build houses. The cost per worker is $20,000 per year. In your first year, you plan to hire 48 workers to do the construction work, which means that the annual labor cost of your company will be $960,000 (48 x $20,000), With 48 workers, your company can build seven houses. You must also buy raw materials-land, wood, nails, plasterboard, and so forth. Each house requires $20,000 worth of raw materials. The cost of raw materials for seven houses is $140,000 (7 x $20,000). Finally, the bank charges 6% interest on your loan. The interest cost is $138,000 (6% of$2.300,000). 1.5. What are the total fixed costs for your construction company? A. $960,000 B. $42,000 c. $180,000 D. $140,000 E. $1,280,000

Answer:

The total fixed costs for the construction company is $960000.

Explanation:

Total fixed costs are those costs that are costs that do not change due to production of a product for example in this case we have a cost of raw materials for building 7 houses which is $140000 which variate with the number of houses built and this cost is a variable cost of building a house. The salary for workers is a fixed cost as no matter how many houses the workers build they will still get their salaries of $20000 per worker per year which is in total $960000 for all the workers in the company. Total fixed costs are those costs that are directly involved with the producing of a product but do not change and which in this case it is the salary of workers as also the interest on the loan will be a constant once off amount and is not directly involved in the production of houses.

Equipment in general governmental service that had been acquired several years ago by a special revenue fund at a cost of $40,00
vivado [14]

Answer:

D. A credit to Other Financing Sources for $5,000.

Explanation:

As the equipment is used for governmental service and sold, the journal entry to record the disposal is as follows:

Debit    Cash                                                 $15,000

Debit    Accumulated Depreciation             $30,000

Credit                 Equipment                                      $40,000

Credit                 Gain on sale of equipment            $5,000

Calculation: Book value of equipment = Cost price - Accumulated depreciation = $40,000 - $30,000 = $10,000

Therefore, Gain on sale of equipment = Disposal value - Book value = $15,000 - $10,000 = $5,000.

Therefore, option A is correct. Option B is also correct. Option C is also correct. Therefore, option D is not correct and it is the answer as it will not include in the journal.

Answer:

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation:

D. $1,851

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine annual depreciation</em>

A.D=(A.C-S.V)/N

where;

A.D=annual depreciation

A.C=acquisition cost

S.V=salvage value

N=useful life

In our case;

A.D=unknown, to be determined

A.C=$10,000

S.V=$3,000

N=5 years

replacing;

A.D={(10,000-3,000)/5}=7,000/5=$1,400

Annual depreciation=$1,400

<em>Step 2: Determine annual tax benefits</em>

Annual tax benefits=tax rate×annual depreciation

where;

tax rate=34%=34/100=0.34

annual depreciation=$1,400

replacing;

Annual tax benefits=0.34×1,400=$476

<em>Step 3: Determine present value of the annual tax benefits</em>

Year                  Future value                Present value

 1                          476                            476/{(1+0.09)^1}=436.70

 2                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^2}=400.64

 3                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^3}=367.56

 4                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^4}=337.21

 5                         476                            476/{(1+0.09)^5}=309.37

Total present value of the tax benefits=436.70+400.64+367.56+337.21+309.37=$1,851.48

Estimate the present value of the tax benefits from depreciation=$1,851
