What are the two primary ways you can make tax payments? You can make tax payments by having it set up to be automatically withdrawn from your bank account, or you can pay your taxes directly by sending in a check or calling to set up a payment arrangement on the taxes owed.

What is one other way you can pay? The other way to pay your taxes is to have your refund directly sent to them until your balance is paid in full.

3- If you can’t pay immediately, what is one course of action you can take? What are the criteria?

Again, one course of action to pay your taxes is to have your refund directly sent to bureau that you owe. The criteria is that you get penalized and the state can charge you extra interest rate fees if not paid by a certain time

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

ROI = net profit / total investment

1. What is the current return on investment (ROI) being realized by your division

  • ROI = $625,000 / $4,150,000 =  15.06%

2. What would happen to the near-term ROI of your division after adding the effect of the new investment?

  • ROI = ($625,000 + $50,000) / ($4,150,000 + $550,000) =  14.36%

If you carry out the new project the ROI of your division will decrease.

3. As manager of this division, given your incentive compensation plan, would you be motivated to make the new investment?

  • Even though the new project's return (9.1%) is considered acceptable by upper management, you will probably reject it since it will decrease your division's total ROI. When managers are assigned bonuses based on certain achievements, reducing your profitability ratio will probably result in no bonus.

Explain the difference between primary and secondary authorities as sources of tax information. On which type of authority shoul
RSB [31]

Answer:

a.

Primary sources represent the law itself as interpreted by the statutory, administrative and judicial entities of the government while secondary sources can be generally defined as interpretations of the law done by non-governmental entities.

b.

The type of authority which professional tax research conclusions should be based on are the primary sources.

Explanation:

a.

Primary sources of tax information are documents that are provided directly by an authority usually the government. Primary sources usually carry heavy weight especially when there is a conflict in the understanding of a federal tax law. These sources are often used by law practitioners as a basis in understanding cases of a similar nature. Some examples of primary sources of tax information include; internal revenue code, final and temporary regulations, non-codified federal tax statutes, and judicial decisions on tax matters. In general primary sources represent the law itself as interpreted by the statutory, administrative and judicial entities of the government. They can be used in a case where a tax payer in arguing his or her case about their tax position in a court of law.

Secondary sources of tax information are documents that are provided by information vendors who provide research services, legal analysis and tax professionals. These sources usually rely on the professionalism and experience of individuals who have gained a reputation on tax law for advice and direction. Some examples of secondary sources include; legal periodicals like academic journals, legal analysts, scholars and tax law reporters. Secondary sources can be generally defined as interpretations of the law done by non-governmental entities.

b.

Professional research is usually done to enable one advance in his/her career in order to gain acceptance as an expert in that particular field. For one to join the ranks of a professional, they first need to prove their mastery of the knowledge in that particular profession. In our case, one needs to be aware of the law as provided by an authority. This means that one needs to argue his/her case in reference to the primary sources since these sources carry more weight in terms of understanding and experience as opposed to secondary sources that represent personal views that might be susceptible to bias. On this note, the type of authority which professional tax research conclusions should be based on are the primary sources.
