What are the cons of using new residential sales/new home sales as a economic indicator?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

New home sales and existing home sales are released each month at about the same time. Many comparisons are made between the two series, but before doing any comparisons, one must be aware of some definition differences that affect the timing of the statistics.

The Census Bureau collects new home sales based upon the following definition: "A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit." The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. Typically about 25% of the houses are sold at the time of completion. The remaining 75% are evenly split between those not yet started and those under construction.

Existing home sales data are provided by the National Association of Realtors®. According to them, "the majority of transactions are reported when the sales contract is closed." Most transactions usually involve a mortgage which takes 30-60 days to close. Therefore an existing home sale (closing) most likely involves a sales contract that was signed a month or two prior.

Given the difference in definition, new home sales usually lead existing home sales regarding changes in the residential sales market by a month or two. For example, an existing home sale in January, was probably signed 30 to 45 days earlier which would have been in November or December. This is based on the usual time it takes to obtain and close a mortgage.

Effective with January 2005, the National Association of Realtors created a new monthly series to overcome the lagging effect of the existing home sales definition. This new series is called Pending Home Sales and is based on sales of existing homes where the contract has been signed but the transaction has not been closed, making it roughly equivalent to the new home sales definition. Monthly estimates are expressed as an index where the year 2001 has been set to equal 100.0.

Answer:

The amount to be repot is $1,450,000

Explanation:

in this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of selling expenses to be recorded in the company’s consolidated income statement for that year.

To answer this question, we employ a mathematical approach;

Mathematically;

Selling expenses = Total expenses - Contra Expenses

from the question, we identify that total expenses is (1,100,000 + 400,000) = $1,500,000

Contra expenses = $50,000

The selling expenses is thus; 1,500,000 - 50,000 = $1,450,000

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The gain recognized on the equipment is $6,550

Explanation:

A straight-line depreciation method distributes depreciation costs evenly throughout the useful life of the equipment, and depreciation per year using this method is calculated thus:

Depreciation per year = (Cost of equipment - salvage value) ÷ useful life

= (45,200 - 6,100) ÷ 4 = 39,100 ÷ 4 = $9,775

This means that each year, the machine depreciates by a value of $9,775.

Next, we are given that the machine was sold for $32,200 after two years, to determine if a profit or loss was made, we will calculate the expected residual value after two years, and find the difference between this value and the selling price. The residual value is calculated thus:

Residual value = Cost of equipment - (depreciation per year × number of years used)

Residual value = 45,200 - ( 9,775 × 2 )

Residual value = 45,200 - 19,550 = $25,650

Difference between residual value and selling price = 32,200 - 25,650 = $6,550 (profit was made since the selling price was higher than the value of the equipment)

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Complete question:

At the end of its first year of operations, Eagle Manufacturing has a deductible temporary difference of $100,000. Eagle has income taxes payable of $90,000 due to a tax rate of 20%. Eagle also recorded a deferred tax asset. Later, they determined that it is more likely than not that $15,000 of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. What entry should Eagle make to record the reduction in asset value?

A. Allowance to Reduce Deferred

Tax Asset to Expected Realizable

Value 15,000

Income Tax Expense 15,000

B. Income Tax Expense 15,000

Deferred Tax Asset 15,000

C. Income Taxes Payable 15,000

Income Tax Expense 15,000

D. Income Tax Expense 15,000

Allowance to Reduce Deferred

Tax Asset to Expected Realizable

Value 15,000

Answer:

Income Tax Expense = 15,000

Allowance to Reduce Deferred

Tax Asset to Expected Realizable

Value 15,000

Explanation:

A book value decrease decreases the valuation of the book asset when changes in the asset or the dynamics of the market have decreased its present market value.

Reduction of book value is a non-cash charge listed as an expense, which decreases net profit.

In this case , Option D entry should Eagle make to record the reduction in asset value

i.e,  Income Tax Expense                                        15,000

                     Allowance to Reduce Deferred

                     Tax Asset to Expected Realisable

        Value                                                                  15,000
