Howie Long has just learned he has won a $506,300 prize in the lottery. The lottery has given him two options for receiving the

payments.
(1) If Howie takes all the money today, the state and federal governments will deduct taxes at a rate of 46% immediately.

(2) Alternatively, the lottery offers Howie a payout of 20 equal payments of $37,000 with the first payment occurring when Howie turns in the winning ticket. Howie will be taxed on each of these payments at a rate of 26%.

Required:

1. Compute the present value of the cash flows for lump sum payout.

2. Assuming Howie can earn an 8% rate of return (compounded annually) on any money invested during this period, compute the present value of the cash flows for annuity payout.

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

A).Present Value of the Cash Flow for the Lump Sum Payout

= Prize of Lottery Amount × (1 -Tax Rate)

= $506,300 × (1 - 0.46)

= $506,300 × 0.54

= $273,402

B).Present Value of the Cash Flows for Annuity Payout is

= Annuity Payment × (1 - Tax Rate) × PVIFA 8%,20 Years × (1  + Rate of Return)

= $37,000 × (1 - 0.26) × 9.8181 × (1 + .08)

= $37,000 × 0.74 × 9.8181 × 1.08

= $290,325

c). According to the analysis, $290,325 is more than the $273,402, So he should be chooses option (b) $290,325 as a payout option.

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

 7,780 units

Explanation:

When using the weighted-average method in its process costing system we are only interested in the equivalent units of the output in that particular process. Outputs being Units completed and transferred and units in ending work in process.

Units in Ending Work in Progress calculation

Units in Ending Work in Progress = 1,300 units + 8,300 units - 6,800 units

                                                       = 2,800 units

Conversion Costs

Units completed and transferred (6,800 x 100%)             6,800

Units in Ending Work in Progress (2,800 x 35 %)                980

Equivalent units of Production  - Conversion Costs         7,780

Conclusion

the equivalent units for conversion costs for the month in the first processing department are   7,780 units

Five thousand bonds with a face value of $1000 each, are sold at 110. The entry to record the issuance is
Contact [7]

Answer:

Date, bonds sold at a premium

Dr Cash 5,500,000

    Cr Bonds payable 5,000,000

    Cr Premium on bonds payable 500,000

Explanation:

The total face value of the bonds is $1,000 x 5,000 bonds = $5,000,000

since the bonds were sold at 110, their price was $5,000,000 x 110% = $5,500,000

the difference between the face value and the actual market price = $5,500,000 - $5,000,000 = $500,000 must be recorded as premium on bonds payable (increases the bonds' carrying value)

What impact can good accountability mechanisms have on the admissibility of evidence in court cases? enables encryption of the e
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Option A, ENABLES ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.

Explanation:

Admissible evidence, in a court of law, is any testimonial, documentary, or tangible evidence that is introduced to a judge or jury to prove a point (put forth by a party to the proceeding) or element in a case.

However, before an evidence can be used in a case, it must be considered admissible. And for an evidence to be admissible, it must be relevant and not excluded by rules of evidence (generally means it must not be prejudicial and must be reliable).

The government can be viewed as mechanism of accountability, particularly from a provider to a purchaser. Thus, a task for regulation is to set norms which would help make that accountability process fair and effective, this is referred to as the mechanism.

A good accountability mechanism is beneficial in the following ways:

* It has impact on admissibility of evidence in court cases.

* it allows nonrepudiation (it means sufficient evidence exists such that a user can not defend an action).

* It enables encryption of the evidence. Encryption means is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it and unauthorized parties cannot.

Therefore, option A best suits the question, the impact that a good accountability mechanism has on on the admissibility of evidence in court cases is that it ENABLES THE ENCRYPTION OF THE EVIDENCE.
