Answer:

A. $8,000

B. $14,400

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

First step is to calculate the Applicable Percentage

Applicable percentage= 100%-($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Applicable percentage=40%

Now let Calculate the tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit

GREATER OF BELOW:

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=50% of W-2 wages ($40,000 × 50% × 40%)

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$8,000

OR

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=[ W-2 wages of ($40,000 × 25% × 40%)]+ [Unadjusted basis of qualified property of ($0 × 2.5% × 40%)]

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000+$0

Tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit=$4,000

Therefore their tentative QBI based on the W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit will be $8,000

2. Calculation to Determine their allowable QBI deduction for 2020

First step is to calculate the General QBI deduction

General QBI deduction [($300,000 × 20%)× 40%]

General QBI deduction=$24,000

Second step is to calculate the Reduction Ratio

Reduction ratio= ($386,600 - $326,600)/100,000

Reduction ratio=$60,000/100,000

Reduction ratio= 60%

Now let calculate the allowable QBI deduction for 2020

General QBI deduction $24,000

Less Reduction of W-2 Wages/Capital Investment Limit ($9,600)

[($24,000-$8,000)*60%]

2020 Allowable QBI deduction $14,400

($24,000-$9,600)

Therefore their allowable QBI deduction for 2020 will be $14,400

Production budget = 39,000 + 100 -200 = 38,900 units

Labour budget = $14.50× 3.5× 38,900 = $1,974,175

Identify the examples of good internal controls designed to protect cash received in the mail. (check all that apply.)
adoni [48]

Two people are assigned the task of, and are present for, opening the mail. The recordkeeper and the person who reconciles the bank balance do not have access to cash.

An organization may define internal controls as a set of policies and practices to safeguard its resources, increase productivity, improve financial accountability, ensure corporate guidelines, and stop employee fraud. Since there is a precise and trustworthy accounting system, internal controls are meant to ensure that loss is eliminated. Internal control involves the timely use of both internal and external auditing or financial reporting resources. As a result, it helps maintain correct and proper financial records, which also helps increase operational effectiveness. Internal controls that are implemented correctly aid in improving operational effectiveness, safeguarding assets, providing accurate financial information, preventing fraudulent or illegal behavior, and timely filing of financial reports.
