The following information pertained to Azur Co. for the year: Price of goods purchased $102,800 Price discounts 10,280 Freight-i

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

$118,220

Explanation:

The Costs of Goods Sold COGS is calculated using the following formula.

COGS = Beginning inventory + purchases - Ending Inventory

For Azur company

Beginning inventory: 30,840

Ending inventory : 20,560

Net purchases equal Net purchase equal to purchases plus freight-in minus discounts freight-out are administrative expenses, hence do not feature in COGS

Net purchases =$102,800 + $15,420 -$ 10,280

Net purchases =$107,940

COGS = $30,840 +$107,940 -$20560

COGS = $118,220

given data

sold the home and gain = $300,000

to find out

amount of the gain allowed to exclude from gross income

solution

and The maximum gain exclusion permitted = $250000

so here Michael will recognize $50,000 because amount exceed $250,000 for a single taxpayer and exclusion of gain on sales of property tax payer need to own and occupy the property as principle residence for the 2 out of 5 year immediately preceding the sales

Imagine that the U.S. economy has an initial unemployment rate equal to the natural rate of unemployment. Identify each event as

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Explanation:

Let’s explore one by one as proposed:

An oil cartel raises oil prices: all prices in the oil-related products will increase making it more expensive for companies to be able to afford employees. As the US economy is heavily based on oil import and consumption, the unemployment rate (let´s call it UR from now on) would increase. Countries that export more than import could benefit from this scenario.

The U.S. dollar gains value against foreign currencies: It would be more expensive to produce goods in the US as its currency becomes stronger. Hence companies could choose to produce overseas, increasing the UR. One of the factors that attract investments is a cheap currency, meaning that a company could operate there at lower costs than anywhere else.

American consumers expect higher income in the future: As fights about average salary would arise between employees and companies, igniting even sindicalization, its proper to think that the same as above could occur; companies could choose to produce overseas in countries less demanding of labor rights and income, such as China provinces (I would recommend for you to watch American Factory, a awarded Netflix documentary about that subject).

Brazil experiences economic growth and increases its demand for U.S. exports: as I said in the first alternative, a country that has increased or more expensive exports could benefit from that creating more jobs, in this case decreasing the UR. If Brazil demands more US products, more has to be produced by the country, which would mean more people employed in this attractive sector.

U.S. real estate values rise: to be honest, it only affects indirectly. As housing becomes more expensive, people have to work more to be able to afford housing. That would mean they seeking better-paying jobs or in the absence of those being homeless of at least unable to buy a home. We could argue that the UR would decrease because it becomes more expensive to afford housing and hence people would migrate more but that’s a long shot rationale.

The first step a domestic firm takes when entering an international arena is usually to create an international division.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The answer is: False

Explanation:

Whenever a company wants to go international it has a lot work to do before creating an international division. Several things must be done before, mostly research, for example:

Research if your product is know overseas, is there any possible market for it, are there any restraints for your products in those new markets.
Any legal constraint or logistical problem you have to consider.
Any local competition you have to worry about.
Does your product fit in a new culture.
And very many etceteras.

That should all be done before considering spending money on creating an international division.

Probably when the internet didn´t exist, communications were scarce, no Tv existed, people in one country didn´t know anything about other cultures, etc., a comp nay would have first created an international division to scout foreign markets but right now it doesn´t make sense.

Waterway Industries purchased a depreciable asset for $837300 on January 1, 2018. The estimated salvage value is $84000, and the

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$222,100

Explanation:

Cost = $837,300

Residual value = $84,000

Useful life = 9 years

Now,

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{837,300 - 84,000}{9}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $\frac{753,300}{9}$

Annual straight line depreciation = $83,700

Accumulated depreciation for three years i.e., 2018, 2019 and 2020 would be:

Accumulated depreciation = 3 × $83,700

Accumulated depreciation = $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = Cost - Accumulated depreciation

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $837,300 - $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $586,200

Revised useful life = 5 years

No. years asset has been used = 3 years

Remaining useful life = 2 years

Revised salvage value = $142,000

Therefore, depreciation expense for the remaining three year would be:

Revised depreciation expense = $\frac{Book value at the end of 2020 - Revised residual Value}{Remaining useful life}$

Revised depreciation expense = $\frac{586,200 - 142,000}{2}$

Revised depreciation expense = $\frac{444,200}{2}$

Revised depreciation expense = $222,100
