Mikey initially invested $2,400 in a company and has held this investment for 3 years. He sold the investment after 3 years for
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

499.80

Explanation:

There is no 39.6% tax bracket, the highest marginal tax is 37%. But we can assume that Mikey had to pay 39.6% in taxes which means that he is in the seventh tax bracket (highest). Since he is classified under the highest tax bracket, he will also pay the highest capital gains rate which is 20%.

Mikey's long term capital gain = $4,950 - $2,400 = $2,550

if he paid regular income taxes = $2,550 x 39.6% = $1,009.80

since he pays capital gains taxes = $2,550 x 20% = $510

That means he saves $1,009.80 - $510 = 499.80

viva [34]

Answer:

WA      1,682

LIFO      910

FIFO  2,260

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}Date&Cost&Units&Subtotal\\$Jan 20th&8&400&3200\\$April 21th&10&200&2000\\$July 25th&13&280&3640\\$Sept 19th&15&90&1350\\$Total&10.51&970&10190\\\end{array}\right]

We add the units purchase and the subtotal to get the total units available for sale.

Ending inventory physical units: 970 - 810 = 160 units

<u>Then, we calculate for each method:</u>

Weighted average:

cost of goods / available units = 10,190 / 970 =  10.51

160 units x 10.51 = 1,681.6‬

LIFO:

Ending inventory will be the oldest units:

160 units x 8 = 960

FIFO:

Ending inventory will be the newest units as the units are sold as soon as they come in

90 x 15 =  1,350

70 x 13 =     910

Total       2,260

Evaluate the extent to which Wal-Mart's previous revenue policy was consistent with the revenue recognition principle.
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Wal-Mart's previous revenue policy was inconsistent with the revenue recognition principle.  It used to recognize revenue when performance obligations have not been met.

Explanation:

In response to SAB 101 issued by the Stock Exchange Commission in 1999, Wal-Mart changed its revenue recognition policy for layaway transactions.  Layaway transactions are those in which Wal-Mart sets aside merchandise for customers who make partial payment.  Before SAB 101, Wal-Mart recognized all revenue on the sale at the-time of the layaway. After the change, Wal-Mart does not recognize revenue until customers satisfy all payment obligations and take possession of the merchandise.

1.The Broomfield Bricklayers has a bond issue outstanding with an annual coupon rate of 9%. The par value of the bond is $1,000.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

answer 1.   9.24%

answer 2.   13.24%

Answer 3.  22.48%

Answer 4.   $1,134.20

Explanation:

answer 1

Coupon amount = Face value * coupon rate

=1000*9%

=$90

current price of bond=$974

Current yield = Coupon amount/current price of bond

=90/974

=0.09240246407 or 9.24%

answer 2.

sale price after one year = 1103

purchase price or opening price = 974

Capital gains yield = (Sale price - Purchase price)/Purchase price

=(1103-974)/974

=0.1324435318 or 13.24%

Answer 3

One year coupon received = $90

Expected return of bond = Current yield + Capital gains yield

=0.09240246407+0.1324435318

=0.2248459959 or 22.48%

Another formula:

Expected return on bond = (Coupon received + sale price - purchase price)/Purchase price

(90+1103-974)/974

=0.2248459959

or 22.48%

Answer 4

Calculator inputs

I/Y (discount rate)= 8%

N (number of periods ) = 10

PMT (coupon amount) = 1000*10% =100

FV (face value) = 1000

press CPT and then -PV

Answer will be $1,134.20

The computation of the depreciation expense under the straight line method is shown below:

= (Original cost of milling machine - salvage value) ÷ (expected useful life)

= ($15,000 - $2,000) ÷ (7 years)

= ($14,000) ÷ (7 years)  

= $2,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life
