Answer:
d. $4,500
Explanation:
The computation of depreciation expense on the new equipment is shown below:-
For computing the depreciation expense on the new equipment first we need to find out the Depreciation per annum which is here below:-
Depreciation per annum = (Cost - Residual value) ÷ Life
= ($76,000 - $4,000) ÷ 8
= $72,000 ÷ 8
= $9,000
Depreciation for 1 year calendar (July 1 to Dec 31) = Depreciation per annum × 6 months ÷ Total number of months in a year
= $9,000 × 6 ÷ 12
= $4,500
So, the depreciation expenses for the year end up-to 31st Dec is $4,500
Answer:
Net present Value (NPV)
Explanation:
The net present value (NPV) is one of the tools used in business for appraising the desirability or otherwise of projects or investments.

Answer
$31,000
Explanation:
(c) $31,000
Explanation:
As per IRS for Earnings of Clergy, A licensed, commissioned, or ordained minister who performs ministerial services as an employee may be able to exclude from gross income the fair rental value of a home provided as part of compensation (a parsonage) or a housing allowance provided as compensation if it is used to rent or otherwise provide a home. In order to be able to exclude the housing allowance from income, the minister's employing organization must officially designate the housing allowance as such before paying it to the minister.The fair rental value of a parsonage or the housing allowance is excludable only for income tax purposes, and not for Self-employment tax purpose.
In the given case, the church did not designate any of Luke's salaries as a housing allowance. Hence it is not deductible from Gross Income for Income Tax Purposes and irrespective of designation or not, it is not deductible for self-employment tax.
Thus, Full salary of Luke i.e $31,000 must be included when figuring net income for self-employment tax.
Answer:
It is preferable to further process Product A.
Explanation:
Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.
The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.
Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000
=$18,000
Further processing costs=$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$3,000
Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
