1. The personal representative of a decedent is known as an executor.

2. In a situation where the decedent does not have a valid will, the court-appointed representative who supervises the probate process is called an <u>administrator</u>.

<h3>What is the probate process?</h3>

The probate process refers to the formalized legal process followed to recognize a will and appoint the executor or administrator (as the decedent's personal representative) to administer the estate and distribute assets to the intended beneficiaries.

The executor or administrator is responsible for supervising the probate process and settling the estate of the deceased or decedent.

Thus, whereas, the personal representative of a decedent is called an <u>executor</u> with a valid will, they are known as <u>administrators</u> when the court appoints them to the office.

e. $2,250 reduction in taxable income

The $6,750 was paid for 3 months. Joe uses Accrual accounting however meaning that expenses have to be recorded for the period they are incurred. $2,250 was incurred for December and so that is the amount that will be deducted as an expense for the year.

f. $1,600 reduction in Taxable income.

If the representative brings back receipts that are in order, Joe can be able to reimburse her for $1,600 in expenses. This includes $550 for airfare, $600 for lodging and for food and entertainment, the maximum he can claim as deductible in tax is 50% of each which means $250 for meals and $200 for entertainment. Adding all that up will give $1,600.

The standard rate for 2020 according to the IRS is 57.5 cents per mile so 245 * 57.5 cents per mile will give $139.15.

h. $345 reduction in taxable income

Joe spent $175 to attend to symposium. He also paid $95 in taxi fare to get to the symposium. He ate meals worth $150 during the symposium not which 50% is deductible. 50% being $75. Adding all these together is,

You wish to buy a cabin in 15 years. TODAY, the cabin costs $150,000. You believe the price of the cabin will inflate at 4% annu
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

I will need to invest 64,669.73 dollars now.

Explanation:

We will calcualte the future value of the cabin considering the inflation:

Principal \: (1+ inflation )^{time} = Amount

Principal 150,000.00

time  15 years

inflation 0.04000

150000 \: (1+ 0.04)^{15} = Amount

Amount 270,141.53

Then we calculate the present value of the lump sum at 15 years discounted at 10% which is the yield of the funds

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  270,141.53

time   15 years

rate  0.10

\frac{270141.53}{(1 + 0.1)^{15} } = PV  

PV   64,669.73

we would need to deposit 64,669.73 today to get enough cash to purchase the bcabin in 15 years.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.
