Evans Ltd. is now considering the possibility of offering a lifetime membership option to its subscribers. Under this proposal,

subscribers could receive the monthly newsletter throughout their lives by paying a flat fee of $480. The one-year subscription rate of $40 would continue to apply to new and existing subscribers who choose to subscribe on an annual basis. Assume that the average age of Evans Ltd.'s current subscribers is 38 and their average life expectancy is 78 years. Evans Ltd.'s average interest rate on long-term debt is 12%.
Using the information given, calculate the present value of a lifetime membership for an average. (Round PV factors to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer: $329.75

Explanation:

The one year subscription is $40 per year. It is estimated that the average age of current subscribers is 38 and they will leave on average to 78. This means that they will leave for,

= 78 - 38

= 40 years

Evans Ltd  average interest rate on long-term debt is 12% so this means that we can use that 12% as a discount rate for the cash-flow expected.

I have attached a Present Value Interest Factor of an Annuity table to this question. It helps calculate annuities faster.

The above can be treated as an annuity because the $40 is constant every year.

The present value of the $40 over 40 years can be calculated by,

= $40 * present value Interest Factor of an Annuity for 40 years at 12% (look at the table for where 40 years on the y axis intersects with 12% on the x axis)

= $40 * 8.2438 (this is the figure when it is not rounded off to 3 dp)

= $329.752

= $329.75

This shows that the lifetime flat fee of $480 is more profitable for Evans Ltd as opposed to the yearly subscription. They should therefore try to sell more of the lifetime contract with the flat fee.

Rob's wife, Marie, has a wage income of $250,000. They jointly sold stocks in 2019 and generated a long-term capital gain of $13
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to IR Many individuals, including owners of businesses operated through sole proprietorships, partnerships, S corporations, trusts and estates may be eligible for a qualified business income deduction, also called the section 199A deduction. Some trusts and estates may also claim the deduction directly.

The deduction allows them to deduct up to 20 percent of their qualified business income (QBI), plus 20 percent of qualified real estate investment trust (REIT) dividends and qualified publicly traded partnership (PTP) income. Income earned by a C corporation or by providing services as an employee isn't eligible for the deduction.

1. QBI component. This component of the deduction equals 20 percent of QBI from a domestic business operated as a sole proprietorship or through a partnership, S corporation, trust or estate. Depending on the taxpayer's taxable income, the QBI Component is subject to limitations including:

 

a. The type of trade or business,

b. The amount of W-2 wages paid by the qualified trade or business, and

c. The unadjusted basis immediately after acquisition (UBIA) of qualified property held by the trade or business.

These limitations do not apply to taxpayers with taxable income at or below a certain threshold. For 2018, the threshold amount is $315,000 for a married couple filing a joint return, and $157,500 for all other taxpayers.

STEPS ARE:

1. Original QBID = 154K*20% = 30,800

2. Wage/Cap. Investment limitation: a) wage limitation = 58K*50%= 29,000

b) wage/capital limit. = wage(58K*25%) +capital(300K*2.5%) =14,500+7,500=22K

We take the larger of them => 29K

3) Since original QBID is greater than wage limitation, we must use reduction ratio. In this case:

408K (taxable income) - 315K(threshold)/100,000 = 0.93

4) Now we subtract the wage limitation from original QBID (30,800 - 29,000) * 0.93= 1,674.

5) Finally, subtract that from original QBID 30,800-1,674=29,126.

29,126 their final QBID

swat32

Answer:

6 years

Explanation:

The Payback period calculates how much it takes the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.

Total amount invested =  $500,000 +  $100,000 =  $-600,000

Cash inflow in year 2 =  $100,000

Amount recovered in year 2 = $-600,000 + 100,000 = $-500,000

Cash inflow in year 3 =  $100,000 × 1.1 = 110,000

Amount recovered in year 3=$-500,000 + 110,000 = $-390,000

Cash inflow in year 4= $121,000

Amount recovered in year 4 = $-390,000 + $121,000 = $-269,000

Cash inflow in year 5= $133,100

Amount recovered in year 5 = $-269,000 + $133,100 = $-135,900

Cash inflow in year 6 = $146,410

Amount recovered in year 6 = $146,410 $-135,900 = $10,510

The amount is recovered In 5.93 years

Polk Company manufactures basketballs. Materials are added at the beginning of the production process and conversion costs are i
wariber [46]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a.

1. Calculation of the equivalent units

<u>Particulars         Physical units   %     Material   %      Conversion cost</u>

Units transferred

out                          900             100%    900     100%     900

Ending

work in process     600            100%     600     40%       240

Equivalent

units                                                        1,500                  1,140

2. Cost per equivalent unit is

Particulars         Material      Conversion cost

Beginning

inventory           $750               $600

Cost during

period                $2,400            $2,820

Total cost          $3,150             $3,420

Divided by

Equivalent

units                   $1,500            $1,140

Cost per

equivalent unit    $2.1              $3

3. Transferred out cost is

= (3 + 2.1) × 900

= $4,590

And, the ending work in process cost is

= (600 ×$2.1) + (240 × $3)

= $1,960

2. Now the preparation of the production report is presented below:

Beginning work in process       $1,350

Cost during period                    $5,220

Total cost accounted for           $6,570

Transferred out cost                   $4,590

Ending work in process              $1,960

Total cost accounted as             $6,570
