The correct answer is option D.

During the current year, Walter invests $35,000 in each of two separate corporations. Each investment gives him a 20% ownership
Bond [772]

Answer:

B) Only statement II is correct.

  • II. Has $20,000 of taxable income from Corporation Z.

Explanation:

One of the disadvantages of a C Corporation is that their owners (stockholders) are double taxed. That means that the corporation is taxed and then the stockholders are taxed depending on the dividends that they receive. In this case, Walter has $10,000 of taxable income from Corporation X (= $50,000 x 20%).

On the other hand, sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies and S Corporations are not taxed, they are pass through entities whose owners are taxed directly. In this case, Walter owns 20% of Corporation Z, therefore he must pay taxes on 20% of taxable income = $100,000 x 20% = $20,000.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

warrant expense 51,000 debit

          cash                       6,000 credit

          warranty liability 45,000 credit

--to record warrant-related accounts--

interest payable 16,667 debit

interest expense  3,333 debit

          cash                  20,000 credit

--to record interest expense for the loan and installment--

Manufacturing Facilities 5,192,772  debit

              Cash                    5,000,000 credit

              Restoration Liability 192,772 credit

-- to record the payment to contractor--

Explanation:

Warranty: the additional expected expense are considered warranty laibility

Loan: we previously recorded accrued interest from March 1st to Dec 31th

That is: 200,000 x 10% x 10/12 months = 16,667 payable

At February 28th we recognize the last two month of interest

200,000 x 10% x 2/12 months = 3,333 expense

in total we have 16,667 + 3,333 = 20,000 cash outlay

Facility: the asset should add to all the cost necessary to acquire it:

As the conversion into community center is mandatory it is part of the cost:

present value of the 500,000 in ten years:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $500,000.00

time  10.00

rate  0.10000

\frac{500000}{(1 + 0.1)^{10} } = PV  

PV   192,771.6447

Total cost:

5,000,000 cashg + 192,772 liability = 5,192,772

If the United States could produce five televisions per hour of labor and China could produce three televisions per hour of labo
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.

Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)

China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.

However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.
