Answer:

Explanation:

Given that:

Matt and Meg Comer are married, file a joint tax return and do not have any children.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $9,200 - $2,200 = $7,000

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $15,390 - $6,390 = $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $7,000 +  $9000

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $114700

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $114700 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $90,300

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $90,300 - $9000

The net taxable income =  $81,300

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($81,300 - $78,950) × 22%    

Tax Liability = $9086 + ($2,350)  × 0.22

Tax Liability = $9086 + $517

Tax Liability = $9,603

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  15%    (since it is between  15% - 37% ordinary income tax range, it may be taxed as 15%)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $9,000 ×  0.15

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $1350

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $9,603 + $1350

= $10953

b.

The total salary of Matt and Meg = $64,700 + $34,000 = $98,700

The net short capital gain = Short-term capital gains - Short-term capital losses

The net short capital gain =  $1,500 - $0 = $1,500

The net Long term capital gains = Long-term capital gains - Long-term capital losses

The net Long term capital gains = $10,500 - $10,200 = $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = Total Salary + net short capital gain + net Long term capital gains

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $98,700 + $1,500 +  $300

The Adjusted gross income AGI = $100,500

The Taxable income = Adjusted gross income AGI - Standard deduction

The Taxable income = $100500 - $24,400

The Taxable income = $76,100

The net taxable income = Taxable income - less preferentially taxed income

The net taxable income =  $76,100 - $300

The net taxable income =  $75,800

For 2019:

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($75,800 - $19,400) × 12%

Tax Liability = $1940 + ($56400)  × 0.12

Tax Liability = $1940 + $6768

Tax Liability = $8,708

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $3,190 ×  0%        (since it is in 10% - 15% ordinary income tax range)

The long-term capital gain for 2019 = $0

Therefore;  the Comers’ tax liability for 2019 if they report the following capital gains and losses for the year is:

Tax Liability  + The long-term capital gain for 2019

= $8,708 + $0

= $8708

You need conversion in this problem to solve it. Since you are already given of all the data, you just need to utilize the data to come up with the answer.  You simply have to divide the equivalent units of a barrel with the U.S. barrels and further divide it with the equivalent gallons of U.S. barrel. You can get $2.24 ($94 / 31.5 / 1.33).<span> </span>

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The weighted-average unit contribution margin is $4.50 per unit.

Explanation:

Weighted Average contribution margin is the average contribution margin of all products company sells.

Sale

Product J = 7,400

Product B = 6,500

Unit contribution margin

Product J = $2.9

Product B = $6.3

Contribution of Product J = 7,400 x $2.9 = $21,460

Contribution of Product B = 6,500 x $6.3 = $40,950

Total Contribution = $21,460 + 40,950 = $62,410

Total Sales Unit = 7,400 + 6,500 = 13,900 units

Weighted average contribution margin = Total Contribution / Total sales unit

Weighted average contribution margin = $62,410 / 13,900 units

Weighted average contribution margin = $4.49 per unit

Weighted average contribution margin = $4.5 per unit
