Answer:

<h3>Cynthia and Dove Corporation</h3>

Any profits generated by Dove Corporation will be taxed to the corporation and also taxed to Cynthia as a shareholder whenever Dove distributes the profits as dividends. Taxing Dove and Cynthia creates a double taxation burden for both Dove and Cynthia. Dove Corporation does not get a tax deduction when it distributes dividends to Cynthia.  Furthermore, Cynthia cannot deduct any corporation loss when incurred.  These are unlike when the business was only a sole proprietorship.

Omega Company reported the following information for the company's two products: Product X Product Y Selling price per unit $ 35
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Omega Company

B) Product Y should be produced because it will produce greater total profit.

Explanation:

If only Product X is produced, the total profit it will produced is:

Selling price = $35

Variable Cost = $20

Contribution = $15

Total Contribution = $15 x 75,000/4 = $281,250

If only Product Y is produced, the total profit will be:

Selling price = $25

Variable cost = $15

Contribution = $10

Total Contribution = $10 x 75,000/2 = $375,000

Product Y therefore produces a greater total profit.  This is because the fixed cost will remain the same if there are no avoidable elements.

Phipps Company borrowed $25,000 cash on October 1, 2016, and signed a nine-month, 8% interest-bearing note payable with interest
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The correct option is C,$500

Explanation:

The amount of interest accrual is the interest on the sum borrowed from October 1 2016 to 31 December 2016,that is 3 months of interest,which is computed below:

Accrued interest =principal*stated interest rate*number of accrued months/12

principal is $25,000

stated interest is 8%

number of accrued months is 3

accrued interest =$25,000*8%*3/12=$500

The accrued interest is to be debited interest expense  because it is an increase in expense  and credited to interest payable as a liability
