b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

Triss [41]

Answer:

additional income is $11050  if the business is organized as a partnership rather than as a corporation

Explanation:

given data

investors = 10

own = 10%

earn =  $500000

corporate tax rate = 34%

personal tax rate = 35 %

to find out

How much additional spendable income

solution

we find here first income if formed as corporation in hand  that is

income if formed as corporation = earn × own ( 1 -  corporate tax ) × ( 1 - personal tax )

income if formed as corporation = 500000 × 10% ( 1 - 34% ) × ( 1 - 35% )

income if formed as corporation =$21450

and

income will be taxable if form partnership that is

income if formed partnership = earn × own ( 1 - personal tax )

put here value

income if formed partnership = 500000 × 10% ( 1 - 35% )

income if formed partnership = $32500

so

additional income is $32500 - $21450

additional income is $11050
