VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

$760

Explanation:

The tax credit for child and dependent care expenses allows working taxpayers to discount up to 35% of care expenses. The exact percentage that you are allowed to deduct depends on your income:

if you earn up to $15,000, you can discount 35% of dependent care expenses of up to $3,000 per child.
the percentage decreases for every $2,000 of income (1% decrease per every $2,000), until your income reaches $43,000 where it remains at 20%.

The Kent's earned $53,000 during the year, so they can claim up to 20% of their children's care expenses = $3,800 x 20% = $760

If you bought a share of common stock, you would probably expect to receive dividends plus an eventual capital gain. Would the d

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Yes, the distribution between the dividend yield and the capital gains yield would influence the firm’s decision to pay more dividends rather than to retain and reinvest more of its earnings.

Explanation:

Yes, If a company decides to increase its dividend payout ratio, the dividend yield component will rise, but the expected long-term capital gains yield will decline as there is less to reinvest in the company. Also, if the company doesn't pay out dividends, there's more to reinvest in the company. Stable and older companies that are not on a growth objective rely on investors that prefer dividends more than share price appreciation. On the other hand, emerging companies, are inclined to share price appreciation to attract investors. Investors understand that all retained earnings are going towards marketing and growth objectives.

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

On December 31, Year 1, the Loudoun Corporation estimated that 3% of its credit sales of $112,500 would be uncollectible. Loudou

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. (3,375) = NA + (3,375) NA − 3,375 = (3,375) NA.

Explanation:

The question asks for the effect of the adjusting entry on December 31, Year 1, that is, the creation of the 3% allowance for uncollectible debts.

Allowance for bad debts = 3% x $112,500 = $3,375

Its effect is as follows.

Assets: Since accounts receivable (an asset) is reduced, assets are reduced by $3,375.

Liabilities: No effect.

Equity: As Equity = Assets - Liabilities, the net effect is to reduce the equity by $3,375.

Revenue: No effect.

Expenses: Sales worth $3,375 is written off as an expense. Hence, total expenses increase by $3,375.

Net increase: As revenue remains unchanged while expenses increase by $3,375, the net increase is a negative of $3,375.

Cash flow: No effect, because there is no exchange of cash since the amount of $3,375 was never received by Loudoun Corporation.

These entries correspond to option B. which is thus the correct answer.
