Answer:
$60
Explanation:
An individual buys stock at $40 per share. Many years later, the individual dies when the market value is $60. The estate distributes the shares to a beneficiary when the stock is worth $70. Therefore the cost basis to the beneficiary is
The cost basis by definition is usually equal to the fair market value of the property or asset at the time of the decedent's death or when the actual transfer of assets was made.
However for the purpose to be served to reduce the tax due on the inheritance, we have chosen to opt for the fair market value of the property or asset at the time of the decedent's death which is $60
Answer:
The journal entry to record depletion is :
Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235
Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235
Explanation:
<em>Depletion Expense = Depletion rate × units extracted during the year</em>
where,
<em>Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated total units</em>
Therefore,
Depletion rate = ($404,000 + $101,000 + $80,800 - $161,600) ÷ 4,040 tons
= $ 105 per ton
Therefore,
Depletion Expense = $ 105 per ton × 707 tons
= $74,235

Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235
Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235
Answer:
Explanation:
1) The total cost of reducing runoff if the farmers are not allowed to trade permits is:
total loss = farmer A' loss + farmer B's loss
where:
- farmer A's loss = (100 - 50) x $25 = $1,250
- farmer B's loss = (100 - 50) x $50 = $2,500
total loss = $1,250 + $2,500 = $3,750
2) The total cost of reducing runoff if the farmers are allowed to trade permits is:
Since farmer A will be willing to sell his permits to farmer B for a price that is ≥ $25 and ≤ $50, the total cost of reducing runoff is $2,500.
If farmer A sells his runoff permit at a price higher than $25 his costs will decrease but farmer B's costs will increase, so any gain due to price change is offset by the other farmer's loss.
Answer:
67,600 tons
Explanation:
Weighted average costing adds the value of beginning inventory in the period cost to calculate the average cost per unit.
According to this method the equivalent units formula is as follow
Equivalent Units = Unit completed and transferred to Finished goods + Units in Work in Process x Completion percentage
Conversion
Equivalent Units = 55,000 + 18,000 x 70% = 67,600 units
