anygoal [31]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

Foreign tax credit allowable is the minimum of Federal Income Tax and Income tax paid in foreign country. Here, Jimenez had paid 40% (2,000,000/5,000,000) income tax in foreign country. So. Jimenez will only be eligible to take foreign tax credit of 1,050,000 i.e. 5,000,000 * 21% and there will be carryover of $950,000 (2,000,000 - 1,050,000) foreign taxes.

There is carryover tax when we cannot use the whole amount of foreign tax credit in the current year and the balance foreign tax is carried over to future years.

salantis [7]

Answer:

Johnson Stores

Staffing Budget for Holidays:

a. The amount to budget for additional sales clerks for the holiday season is:

= $24,192.

b. The additional profit generated if a staff is added for the increased sale is:

= $1,209.60.

Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Number of sales clerk required for each $12,000 in daily sales = 1

Average sales increase = $96,000

Number of sales clerk required for the $96,000 sales increase = 8 ($96,000/$12,000)

Number of shopping days from Black Friday to Christmas Eve = 27

Sales clerk works a shift per day = 8 hours

Wages per hour = $14

Total hours to be worked by the additional sales clerk = 8 * 27 * 8 = 1,728

Total wages = 1,728 * $14 = $24,192

Average gross profit on sales = 40%

Total gross profit on sales = $24,192 * 40% = $9,676.80

Additional gross profit generated by adding a staff = $1,209.60 ($9,676.80/8)
