Logan owns a horse ranch. Logan dislikes horses, but he opened the ranch because he heard it was a lucrative business and he wan

ted to make money. Logan’s horse ranch has lost money every year for the past 5 years (including this year), but Logan has made some changes to business operations, including hiring a consultant and increasing his prices. Logan anticipates that as a result of these changes, his horse ranch will generate a profit in the next year or two. This year, Logan hired his brother, Luke, to work at the horse ranch. Logan pays Luke $500/hr to clean the horse stalls. Logan also hired his best friend, Lucy, to do Logan’s grocery shopping and other personal errands. He pays Lucy $15/hr. Which of the following is most accurate?
a. Logan cannot deduct any of the costs associated with the horse ranch because the horse ranch would be classified as a hobby, not a business
b. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Luke because Luke works in Logan’s horse ranch business
c. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because the amount of the expense is reasonable
d. Logan can deduct the full salary paid to Lucy because grocery shopping is ordinary and necessary
e. None of the above are correct

Answer:

Logan Horse Ranch

The most accurate is:

e. None of the above are correct

Explanation:

Logan's payment to his brother, Luke, of $500 per hour, is not a reasonable business expense that can be deductible.  Surely, $500 per hour is not a going rate for cleaning the horse stalls per hour.  With Lucy doing grocery shopping for Logan, it does not resonate like an ordinary and necessary expense for the business. Therefore, options A to D are not correct.  This leaves only option E as the most accurate.

Anettt [7]

The current lot size of 235 is too large.

We use the given data to find the Economic Order Quantity or EOQ and then compare it to the lot size of 235.

Economic Order Quantity is used to arrive at the optimum purchase order for goods (in number of units) while minimizing ordering and handling costs.

The formula for calculating EOQ is:

Q = \sqrt{2DS/H},

where :

Q is the order lot in number of units

D is the annual demand for the product

S is ordering cost per order (in $)

H is holding cost per unit (in $)

We can arrive at the annual demand for the product as follows:

Annual Demand = No. of units sold per week * No. of weeks the store operates

Annual Demand = 50*52 = 2600 units

Order cost = $20

Holding Cost = Holding Cost (in %) * Selling Price

Holding Cost = 20%*$40 = $8

Substituting the above values in the EOQ formula, we get,

Q = \sqrt{(2*2600*20)/8} = 114.02 units.

Comparing the EOQ we just calculated and the given lot size, we arrive at the answer above.

Avery Company has two divisions, Polk and Bishop. Polk produces an item that Bishop could use in its production. Bishop currentl
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of operating profit is shown below:-

Profit per unit = Purchase price from outside per unit + variable cost of production internally

= $15 - $7

= $8

Total increment in operating profit = Profit per unit × Total number of units

= $8 × 24,000

= $192,000

b. Minimum transfer price = Variable cost = $7 (because polk has overcapacity and there is no change in fixed cost and polk minimum has to recover its variable production cost)

c. Maximum transfer price = purchase cost from outside supplier = $15 (because if the internal transfer piece is more than $15 Bishop will lose so he prefers to buy from outside and the company as a whole will lose $192,000 in incremental operating profit

Allstate shipping body forklift for $20,000. It is expected to have a five-year useful life and trade in value of $2,000. Prepar
timama [110]

In order to calculate the depreciation using the double declining balance method you must first calculate the amount of depreciate using the straight line method. After you calculate it by the straight line method, you simply need to double it for this this problem.

The original price is $20,000, and then subtract the $2,000 estimated trade in value and the answer is $18,000. This is the amount that you need to depreciate.

Straight line method: $18,000 divided by the 5 year useful life = $3,600 per year.

Double declining balance = $3,600 x2 = $7,200 per year depreciation.

Year Depreciation Amount

1 7,200

2 7,200

3. 3,600
