Answer:
Variable cost per unit = $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost = $14,558
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit
= cost at high activity - cost at low activity/High activity -low activity
=$(74,798- $41,663) / (40,160 -18,070) units
= $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost
Total fixed cost = cost at high activity - ( vc per unit × high activity)
= 74,798 - (1.5 × 40,160)
= $14,558
Variable cost per unit = $1.5 per unit
Fixed cost = $14,558
Answer: $324,800
Explanation:
It is a general Principle that when calculating income tax expense, that the Extraordinary loss is treated separately because it is not a usual thing.
The income gained from changing the Accounting principle is not included as well.
The Taxable income to be recorded therefore is,
Taxable income = Income + Gain on disposal - Unusual loss (due to its infrequency)
Taxable income = 928,000 + 32,000 - 148,000
Taxable income = $812,000
Tax expense would therefore be,
= 812,000 * 40%
= $324,800
$324,800 is the amount of income tax expense Arreaga would report on its income statement.
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Decrease and transfer payments increase.
Explanation:
Automatic stabilizers soften cyclic fluctuations through their effect on aggregate demand. Indeed, when the economy is in a contractive or recessive phase, the negative or very reduced economic growth generates a decrease in fiscal revenues while higher unemployment increases public expenditures. Consequently, private sector disposable income decreases less than GDP does, thus limiting the contractual effect on aggregate demand, growth and employment. Therefore, the budget balance worsens in this phase by stimulating the economy and facilitating economic recovery. In the opposite sense, in times of expansion, automatic stabilizers generate higher public revenues and lower spending, which allows to increase the public surplus - or reduce the deficit - avoiding excessive expansion that could have negative effects on cycle volatility and price stability.
Answer: c. capital loss.
Explanation:
A capital loss refers to a scenario where the price of a security falls below the price at which it was purchased. This is what happened to the Alpha Industries stock above as the price dropped from $39 to $37 which led to a capital loss of $2.
The dividends paid seem to outweigh the capital loss but we cannot be certain of this unless we know the tax rate being applied to the dividends and because these are usually high, the after tax dividends might have been lower the capital loss of $2.
False, because you can't really use those animals for a service.
