Answer:
a. No. A state court will do a better job in this case because it exercises unlimited jurisdiction. Moreover, you can only bring your case to a federal court if the amount of your claim is up to $75,000 or the issue is exclusive to the federal court. This is not the case here.
b. Yes and No. We need some additional information about the accident location to help answer this question definitively.
c. No. You should not consider accepting the offered settlement. The jury award is meant to pay for your medical bills and also to help you recover financially as though the accident did not happen in the first place. Accepting any lesser amount after the judgment is rendered is in bad taste. The other party should have negotiated to settle out of court before the final judgment was rendered. But it did not. So, go with the jury award.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Missed work for 15 weeks
Total medical bills incurred = $50,000
Total lost wages incurred = $15,000
Jury award = $100,000 ($50,000 for medical, $15,000 for lost wages and $35,000 for punitive damages)
Settlement offer = $50,000
Answer:
Bob Katz and Sally Mander
Taxable Income for 2018:
= $78,200
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total wages = $102,400
Gain from sale of stock = 5,200
Interest income = 100
Total income = $107,700
less total deductions = (29,500)
Taxable Income = $78,200
b) Bob Katz and Sally Mander will have taxable income of $78,200 when the appropriate rate of tax is applied and the tax liability obtained, then the $1,500 tax credit will be deducted before arriving at the tax liability due.
c) The short-term capital gain of $5,200 is taxed as ordinary income. Since it is held for less than a year, it will be included in the taxable income for that year and it follows the same tax brackets as ordinary income. On the other hand, the long-term capital gain of $13,000 will attract a tax rate of 0 percent for a taxable income of $78,200. Otherwise, it will attract a tax rate of 15 percent or 20 percent, depending on income level. This means that long-term capital gains tax rates are much lower than the ordinary income tax rate.
Answer:
accounts payable 128,500
Explanation:
To answer we must determine how much is the amount of purchases needed for the month of June.
It is not interesting the debt that is generated in previous months since they are paid in full, so in May the purchases of the month of May will already be canceled, so they will not impact the suppliers account.
June
Purchases= 190,000 x 0.85 + (inventory cost of sales of the month) + 80,000 (inventory at the end of the month) + 260,000 x 10% (inventory at the end of the month) = 276,500,
But according to the company's policy at the beginning of the month the inventory was equal to
80,000 + 190,000x10% (June sales) = 99,000
So the purchases necessary to meet the costs of sale and comply with the policy of the owner at closing is the same
267.500(inventory needed) - 99.000(
initial existence) = 168.500
<u>the record will be
</u>
Inventory 168,500
Cash 43,810
accounts paylable 124,690
