Answer – Division A

EXPLANATION’

Given for last year,

Division A made 60% of the company's total revenue.

Let the company’s total revenue for last year be x

60% of x = 0.6x

Division A made 0.6x last year

Also given for last year,

Division B made 40% of the company's total revenue.

If the company’s total revenue for last year is x

40% of x = 0.4x

Division B made 0.4x last year

For this year,

We are told that division A's revenue has decreased by 35%

Last year’s revenue was 0.6x

Division A’s revenue for this year = 0.6x – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% of 0.6x) – (35% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.6x) – (35% * 0.6x)

= (100% - 35%) * 0.6x

= 65% * 0.6x

= 65/100 * 0.6x

= 0.39x

Therefore this year, Division A’s revenue is 0.39x

Again for this year,

We are told that division B's revenue has decreased by 5%

Last year’s revenue was 0.4x

Division B’s revenue for this year = 0.4x – (5% of 0.4x)

= (100% of 0.4x) – (5% of 0.6x)

= (100% * 0.4x) – (5% * 0.4x)

= (100% - 5%) * 0.4x

= 95% * 0.4x

= 0.38x

Therefore this year, Division B’s revenue is 0.38x

If Division A’s revenue is 0.39x, and Division B’s revenue is 0.38x; then Division A had higher revenue this year.

kogti [31]

Answer:

$4,760

Explanation:

The value a company will record for the dishwasher will be the amount that was used to purchase the dishwasher plus the associated cost of transporting and installing the dishwasher.

The price of the dishwasher to be used is the actual amount it was bought and not the fair value.

Amount recorded for dishwasher= Price + Transportation + Installation fees

Amount recorded for dishwasher= 4,200 + 330 + 230

Amount recorded for dishwasher= $4,760

Note the fee for illegal parking is not considered because it is not a direct cost related to purchase of the dishwasher

kirill115 [55]

Curtis Williams is 69 years old. His wife, Mary Williams, is 67 years old. Curtis and Mary plan to file a joint return. Mary is legally blind. IRS provides high standard deduction to married couples who have age of 65 or above and blind or one of the partner is legally blind.

IRS states that if filling for joint return is done by married taxpayers in the year 2022 then normal standard deduction is $25,900. In this case Curtis and Mary both are over the age of 65 and Mary is blind too then as per IRS guidelines they will get $1,400 deduction per person for being above 65 plus Mary will get additional $1,400 deduction for being legally blind.

$25,900 + $1,400 + $1,400 + $1,400 = $30,100

Hence, Curtis and Mary's standard deduction is $30,100.
