Answer:

A traditional 401(k) is tax deferred because the income earned isn't taxed until the money is withdrawn.

Explanation:

A 401 k is a qualified tax-advantaged saving retirement plan. Usually, 401K plans are employer-sponsored. Employee contributions to the 401 k plans are deducted from the payroll before taxes are calculated. It means the employee contribution is not taxed at the time it's withheld by the employer.

The amounts saved are invested in market securities such as shares and bonds. The tax due from earning from the investment is deferred to the time of withdrawal. The employee is not required to pay taxes on contributions and investments earning every financial year.

Answer:

Gain= $90,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $1,000,000

Original price= $5,220,000

Accumulated depreciation= $4,310,000

First, we need to calculate the book value:

Book value= purchase price - accumulated depreciation

Book value= 5,220,000 - 4,310,000

Book value= $910,000

Now, if the selling price is higher than the book value, the company gain from the sale:

Gain/loss= selling price - book value

Gain/loss= 1,000,000 - 910,000

Gain= $90,000

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Bill Gates said, "Develop your people to do their jobs better than you can. Transfer your skills to them. This is exciting but it can be threatening to a manager who worries that he is training his replacement. Smart managers like to see their employees increase their responsibilities because it frees the managers to tackle new or undone tasks."

Explanation:

Bill Gates is an American computer pioneer and philanthropist. He is a co-founder of Microsoft, where he was the chairman of the board. He has now left the day-to-day work at Microsoft to work full-time within the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. According to Forbes magazine, Gates is the second richest person in the world (after Jeff Bezos) with a fortune of about $105 billion.

For a levered firm, flotation costs should

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is option B. For a levered firm, flotation costs should be spread over the life of a project, thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project.

Explanation:

When a company’s securities are listed on a public exchange, there is a general saying that securities are floated on the exchange. That is how the name flotation costs came about.

Flotation is actually the costs incurred by a company in issuing its securities to public. it is also called issuance costs.

Examples of Flotation costs include charges paid to the investment bankers, lawyers, accountants, registration fees of the securities regulator and the exchange on which the issue is to be listed.

Flotation cost would vary based on several factors, such as company’s size, issue size, issue type (debt vs equity),

In summary, Flotation costs are the cost a company incurs to issue new stock making new equity cost more than existing ones.

Business analysts argue that flotation costs are a one-time expense that should be adjusted out of future cash flows in order to not overstate the cost of capital forever.

It is based on this premise that i chose option B, which states that flotation costs be spread over the life of a project thereby reducing the cash flows for each year of the project at levered firms.

Airline F leases all its aircraft under finance leases. Airline O leases all its aircraft under operating leases. Assuming that

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: e. Airline O has less lease assets at the inception of the lease

Explanation:

With operating leases, the entity leasing the asset or the lessee, does not get the rights to ownership of the asset being leased but instead simply pay a fee or sort of rent for leasing the asset.

With a finance lease however, ownership is passed to the lessee for the lease period and the lessee would have to depreciate the asset and record it in its books.

Airline O will therefore not record any assets but Airline F will. This means that Airline F will have more assets than O because it had to record its assets but O did not.

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The correct option is D) $127,000.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

On January 1, 2012, Cale Corp. paid $1,020,000 to acquire Kaltop Co. Kaltop maintained separate incorporation. Cale used the equity method to account for the investment. The following information is available for Kaltop's assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity accounts on January 1, 2012:

Book Value Fair Value

Current assets $120,000 $120,000

Land 72,000 192,000

Building (20yr life) 240,000 268,000

Equipment (10yr life) 540,000 516,000

Current Liabilities 24,000 24,000

Long-term Liabilities 120,000 120,000

Common Stock 228,000

Additional Paid-in Capital 384,000

Retained Earnings 216,000

Kaltop earned net income for 2012 of $126,000 and paid dividends of $48,000 during the year.

In Cale's accounting records, what amount would appear on December 31, 2012 for equity in subsidiary earnings?

A) $ 77,000.

B) $ 79,000.

C) $125,000.

D) $127,000.

E) $ 81,800.

The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:

Total amortization of allocations for 2012 = ((Building fair value – Building book value) / 20 year) + ((Equipment fair value - Equipment book value) / 10 years) = (($268,000 - $240,000) / 20) + (($516,000 - $540,000) / 10) = -$1,000

Amount for equity in subsidiary earnings on December 31, 2012 = Kaltop earned net income for 2012 - Total amortization of allocations for 2012 = $126,000 - (-$1,000) = $126,000 + $1,000 = $127,000

The amount that would appear on December 31, 2012 for equity in subsidiary earnings is $127,000. Therefore, the correct option is D) $127,000.
