Answer:

Each year, the employer awards its top salesperson an all-expense-paid trip to Jamaica.

This should be considered as part of the employees' compensation (and the employee should be taxed), therefore, the company can deduct 100% of it.

The employer has a cafeteria for its employees where meals are furnished at cost.

Cafeteria meals are not included in the 50% deduction.

The employer sponsors an annual Labor Day picnic for its employees.

This is considered a recreational activity paid by the employer, so the 50% deduction does not apply.

Every Christmas, the employer gives each employee a fruitcake.

It is a fringe benefit, although I doubt that the employees are taxed for receiving a fruit cake. There is no 50% deduction. (referred to as de minimis fringe benefit)

The taxpayer gives business gifts to her clients at Christmas.

Business gives are not subject to a 50% deduction, instead they are subject to a $25 limit.

Answer:

Key figures:

2016:

Revenue = $270,000

Expenses = $202,500

Income = $67,500

2017:

Revenue = $450,000

Expenses = $337,500

Income = $112,500

2018:

Revenue = $180,000

Expenses = $135,000

Income = $45,000

Explanation:

Under this method, percentage of work completed is determined using the following formula:

Percentage of work completed = (Total Expenses incurred on the project till the close of the accounting period) ÷ (Total Estimated Cost of the Contract)

Total estimated cost = $202,500 + $337,500 + $135,000 = $675,000

2016:

Percentage of work completed = ($202,500 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 30%

Expenses in 2016 = $202,500 (answer)

Revenue in 2016 = $900,000 × 30% = $270,000 (answer)

Income in 2016 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2016 = $270,000 - $202,500

Income in 2016 = $67,500 (answer)

2017:

Percentage of work completed = ($337,500 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 50%

Expenses in 2017 = $337,500 (answer)

Revenue in 2017 = $900,000 × 50% = $450,000 (answer)

Income in 2017 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2017 = $450,000 - $337,500

Income in 2017 = $112,500 (answer)

2018:

Percentage of work completed = ($135,000 ÷ $675,000)×100 = 20%

Expenses in 2018 = $135,000 (answer)

Revenue in 2018 = $900,000 × 20% = $180,000 (answer)

Income in 2018 = Revenue - Expenses

Income in 2018 = $180,000 - $135,000

Income in 2018 = $45,000 (answer)

An employee is _________when a company purchases an insurance policy against losses from theft by that employee.

Rus_ich [418]

An employee is in a BOND when a company purchases an insurance policy against losses from theft by that employee.

Every business owners are advised to bond their employees under Employee Theft Bond upon hiring. This is to protect their businesses from employee theft and avoid possible bankruptcy. Despite rigorous filtering of new hires, there is still a big possibility that employees will steal from the company especially if company transactions are mostly done in cash to cash basis.
