Answer:
When a taxpayer has an underpayment of estimated tax or fall behind on his/her tax prepayment, then he/she is required to pay a penalty on Form 2210. This penalty is called underpayment penalty.
According to the tax laws, Mr. P and Ms. S can avoid an underpayment penalty if their withholding's and estimated tax payments equal or exceed one of the following two safe harbors:
- 90 percent of current tax liability ($200,000 x 90% = $180,000)
- 110 percent of previous year tax liability (110% x $170,000 = $187,000)
From the above calculation, it is clear that Mr. P and Ms. S's withholding's ($175,000) do not equal or exceed the amount of two safe harbors. So, they need to increase their withholding's or make estimated payments to avoid underpayment penalty.
If Mr. P and Ms. S increase their withholding's by $5,000 or make estimated payments of $1,250
per quarter ($5000/4), they can avoid the underpayment penalty.
Mr. Paula and Simon average gross income is greater than $150,000, so 110% is taken.

Explanation:
With regards to the above, the entry to record of March 30 would be;
Debit stock dividends $140,400
Credit common stock dividends distributable $108,000
Credit paid in capital in excess of par $32,400
Calculations;
= 60,000 shares of $10 par value
= $600,000 × Stock dividend
= $600,000 × 18%
= $108,000
Stock dividend = 60,000 shares of $13 market value
= $780,000 × Stock dividend
= $780,000 × 18%
= $140,400
Additional paid in capital = $140,400 - $108,000 = $32,400

Answer:
1) You should go home and watch TV.
Explanation:
Since you value seeing the play $10, then you should leave the theater and go to your house to watch TV since that has a higher value for you ($12).
We are talking about opportunity costs here. Opportunity costs are the extra costs or benefits lost from choosing one activity or investment over another. In this case the opportunity costs are:
- watch the play = $10
- watch TV = $12
- read a book = $8
Since watching TV is more valuable to you, then that is what you should be doing.
