Answer:
The cost of the land should be recorded as $108,350
Explanation:
Land cost = $112,000
Demolition dilapidated building = $2,200
Legal fees - title search = $1,450
Cost of land = Land cost - Demolition dilapidated building - Legal fees - title search
Cost of land = $112,000 - $2,200 - $1,450
Cost of land = $108,350
Answer and Explanation:
a. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the straight-line method is shown below:-
Depreciation
= (Assets cost - Salvage value) ÷ Useful life
= ($171,000 - 0) ÷ 25
= $6,840
For First year = $6,840
For Second year = $6,840
It would be the same for the remaining useful life
b. The computation of depreciation for each of the first two years by the double-declining-balance method is shown below:-
First we have to determine the depreciation rate which is shown below:
= One ÷ useful life
= 1 ÷ 25
= 4%
Now the rate is double So, 8%
In year 1, the original cost is $171,000, so the depreciation is $13,680 after applying the 8% depreciation rate
And, in year 2, the ($171,000 - $13,680) × 8% = $12,585.60
Answer: The actual rate of the mortgage is 5.27%.
Since we're taking two mortgages for a total of $200,000 for 30 years, we can find the actual rate of the mortgage by finding the weighted average of the two rates. The weights in this case will be the proportion of loan taken at each rate
We have
Rates Weights Rates * Weights
4.15 0.80 
9.75 0.20 
Total 5.27%
Answer:
The correct answer is $720 in Year 1 and $240 in Year 2 Next.
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Loan Amount =$16,000
Rate of interest = 6%
Time period for first year (Apr - Dec) = 9 months
Time period for second year ( Jan - Mar) = 3 months
So, we can calculate the amount of interest by using following formula:
For first year:
Amount of interest (1st year) = $16,000 × 6% × 9 ÷ 12 = $720
Amount of interest (2nd year) = $16,000 × 6% × 3 ÷ 12 = $240
Answer:
a. Dividend
b. $500,000
Explanation:
a. As in the given case, the character of any income or gain recognized is the dividend of $500,000 which eligible him to avail 100% deduction of the dividend amount
b. The reduced amount would be lower of the distributed amount or 50% of Total E&P
Distributed amount is $500,000
And, the 50% of total E&P is = $8,000,000 × 50% = $4,000,000
So, the lesser amount is $500,000 which is reduced its total E&P
