If an economy is working well below capacity this means there is huge amount of unused resources left. Resources or inputs at this point will be available at a relatively lower price. So the firms will be able to expand output at a cheaper rate.

When the demand for inputs increase the input price will not increase much. So, the firms will be able to increase output and the price level will not increase by a great extent.

During the month of January, Marcos & Henesey, Inc. had total manufacturing costs of $165,000. It incurred $62,000 of direct

adell [148]

Answer:

$68,800

Explanation:

Let the direct material used be X,

Direct Material + Direct Labor + Over Head = Total product cost

X + $62,000 + $40,000 = $165,000

X + $102,000 = $165,000

X = $165,000 - $102,000

X = $63,000 Materials Used

Raw Materials used = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - Ending Inventory

Raw Materials used = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - [Beginning Inventory + $5,800]

$63,000 = Beginning Inventory + Purchased - Beginning Inventory - $5,800

$63,000 = Purchased - $5,800

Purchased = $63,000 + $5,800

Purchases = $68,800

TPW, a calendar year taxpayer, sold land with a $535,000 tax basis for $750,000 in February. The purchaser paid $75,000 cash at

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Amount realized on sale:

Cash $75,000

Purchaser’s note 675,000

$750,000

Adjusted basis (535,000)

Gain realized on sale $215,000

b. $215,000 gain realized ÷ $750,000 contract price = 28.67% gross profit percentage.

Cash received in year of sale:

Cash at closing $75,000

August principal payment 33,750

$108,750

Gain recognized (108750*28.67%) $31,179

A. Book gain $215,000

Tax gain (31,179)

Book/tax difference $183,821

B. $183,821 × 35% = $64,338 deferred tax liability

The excess of book gain over tax gain is a favorable difference.
