Answer:
A. $450
Explanation:
In 2014, the Medicare surtax for high-income taxpayers started when married couples filing jointly earned over $250,000. in this case, Christine and Doug made $300,000, so the surtax = ($300,000 - $250,000) x 0.9% = $450
The Medicare surtax income threshold has not been adjusted to inflation and remains at the same level for 2020.
Total medicare contributions for high income taxpayers = 1.45% + 0.9% = 2.35%
In an appearance on Shark Tank, the owner of a wedding runner company wanted to pursue a strategy of _____ and make her runners affordable to the public. The sharks suggested she should pursue a strategy of ______, focusing on quality and uniqueness.a. differentiation; cost leadershipb. unrelated diversification; related diversificationc. cost leadership; differentiationd. focused retrenchment; growthe. related diversification; unrelated diversification
Answer:
c. cost leadership; differentiation
Explanation:
Remember, we are told that the owner wants to make her runners affordable to the public, and we agree that affordability is only possible when there is cost leadership. Cost leadership strategy simply implies that the company's products/services are positioned to be the cheapest in comparison with other competitors.
To specifically focus on quality and uniqueness, the sharks were asking the owner to pursue the differentiation strategy. Differentiation strategy requires having features that set your product or service apart from others such as quality and uniqueness.

Steve Colburn's portable sawmill used 100% for business, was completely destroyed by fire. The sawmill had an adjusted basis of $35,000 and a fair market value of $50,000 before the fire. The sawmill was uninsured. Steve's casualty loss is:________.1) $49,900.
2) $50,000.
3) $35,000.
4) $34,900.
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.
Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.

Samuel, Inc. has Accounts Receivable of $110,000 and an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $17,000. If it writes-off a customer account balance of $1,700, what is the amount of its net accounts receivable?A) 591,300. B) $108,300. C) $110,000. D) $93,000.
Answer:
the net account receivable is d. $93,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net account receivable is shown below:
= (Account receivable - written off amount) - (Allowance for doubtful accounts - written off amount)
= ($110,000 - $1,700) - ($17,000 - $1,700)
= $108,300 - $15,300
= $93,000
Hence, the net account receivable is $93,000

You are saving money for a down payment on a new house. You intend to place $7,500 at the end of each year for three years into an account earning 5% per year. At the end of the fourth year, you will place $10,000 into this account. How much money will be in the account at the end of the fourth year?
Answer:
$37,848.9
Explanation:
We can use the interest rate formula to figure out how much is in the account after the first 3 years. The interest rate formula is show below:
[tex]A = P (1 + r)^t[/tex]
Let me delineate what each part of this equation means:
A = The total amount
P = The initial amount of money put into the account
R = the interest rate
T = Time
The equation gives us the following:
You place $7,500 each year for three years The interest rate is 5%At the end of the 4th year $10,000 will be placed in the accountFirst, let's calculate the P in the equation.
You put $7,500 each year for 3 years, so multiply 7,500 by 3.
[tex](7,500) * (3) = 22,500[/tex]
Next, let's start putting everything into the equation, like this:
[tex]A = 22,500(1 + .05)^3[/tex]
(When doing interest rate you have to move the decimal over twice)
Now that we have the equation, let's solve it!
[tex]A = 22,500(1.05)^3\\A = 22,500(1.15763)\\A = 26,046.6[/tex]
After 3 years $26,046.6 is in the account.
But, don't forget the last part of the question!
But you have a fourth year too!
Add the $10,000 onto the $26,046.6
That equals $36,046.6.
Lets plug this back into the equation for the final year
[tex]A = 36046.6(1.05)^1\\A = 37848.9[/tex]
Thus, the final answer will be $37,848.9
Hope this helps!

After saving the money for the four years and by adding $10,000 in the end of fourth year the money the amount that will be saved is $48,942.23.
What is Future Value?
The temporal value of money is based on the simple notion that one dollar today is worth more than one dollar in the future. This is because one can invest the dollar they have today and have it increase at a rate of return, or interest, over time.
The formula for future value is-
[tex]\begin{aligned}\text{FV}&=\text{CF}\times\dfrac{(1+r)^n-1}{\text{r}}+\text{FV}\\&=\$7,500\times\dfrac{(1+0.05)^4-1}{0.05}+\$7,500\\&=\$48,942.23\end{aligned}[/tex]
Thus, the future value by the end of the fourth year is $48,942.23.

An architecture firm earned earned $2320 for architecture services provided with the fee to be paid in the future. No entry was made at the time the service was provided. If the fee has not been paid by the end of the accounting period and no adjusting entry is made, this would cause:________.A) revenues to be understated B) revenues to be overstated C) liabilities to be understated. D) net income to be overstated.
Answer:
A) revenues to be understated
Explanation:
In this scenario, this would cause revenues to be understated. This is mainly because the financial report of profit would state an amount that is less than the amount that was actually earned by the Architecture Firm. This is due to the profit of $2320 that was already fully earned by the Firm not being included in the financial report, therefore missing a piece of the profits in the report (understated).

Suppose that United States produces 10,000,000 barrels of oil and 1,000 bushels of wheat each week. Suppose that Pakistan produces 9753 barrels of oil and 9753 bushels of wheat each week. 1. In autarky, what is the largest amount of wheat United States can consume every week? Number bushels 2. What does the term autarky refer to? a) The process of negotiating terms of trade between two countries. b) A major argument against globalization. c) countries Government policies meant to reduce international trade. d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other
Answer:
1. 1,000 bushels of wheat
2. d) A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other
Explanation:
1 & 2. Autarky refers to a situation where a country does not engage in trade with other countries but rather relies on its own production capacities to feed the consumption in the country.
Autarkies in the current world are not a thing because countries trade with each other. Even North Korea trades with Russia, China and others.
In an Autarky situation therefore, the United States would only be able to consume the wheat that it produces itself which according to the question is 1,000 bushels of wheat.
Answer: 1. 1000 bushels of wheat.
2. A situation where one country does not engage in trade with other.
Explanation:
Autarky simply refers to an economy that's self sufficient and doesn't depend on other economies and doesn't trade with them.
1. The largest amount of wheat that the United States can consume every week will be 1000 bushels of wheat. This is because in autarky, nations won't engage in trading so whatever quantity of whameat that's produced will be consumed.
2. Autarky situation where one country does not engage in trade with other. Therefore, the correct option is D.
If there is an excess supply of money in the economy, A. there is also an excess demand for money B. there is also an excess demand for bonds C. there is also an excess supply of bonds D. the interest rate will rise E. the Fed must intervene to restore equilibrium
Answer: B. there is also an excess demand for bonds
Explanation:
When there is an excess supply of money in the economy, there is also an excess demand for bonds.
This is because in his case, rather than holding money, individuals will want to increase their being holdings and therefore, this will lead to the reduction in their holding of money. Equilibrium will further be restored as there'll be reduction in interest rate.
She has read a number of newspaper articles about a huge IPO being carried out by a leading technology company. She wants to purchase as many shares in the IPO as possible and would even be willing to buy the shares in the open market immediately after the issue. What advice do you have for her?
Answer:
Explanation:
I believe the best advice that can be given is to do thorough research into the company before investing and do not invest more than you are willing to lose. Initial Public Offerings (IPO) can be incredibly risky investments because they can be complete scams or can be legit startup companies but make one mistake and quickly go bankrupt causing the shares to be worthless and you lose all of your money. But with great risk comes great reward, If they do manage to take you off you can make a lot of money. Therefore, research and invest only what you can live without is the best advice.
Using the following year-end information for Bauman, LLC, calculate the current ratio and acid-test ratio:_______. Cash $70,200 Short-term investments 12,800 Accounts receivable 49,500 Inventory 242,000 Prepaid expenses 18,000 Accounts payable 100,500 Other current payables 28,000a. 3.05 and 1.03. b. 2.91 and .97. c. 1.17 and 3.91. d. .97 and 3.05.
Answer:
a. 3.05 and 1.03
Explanation:
The formula for current ratio is
= Current assets/Current liabilities
= (Cash + Short term investment + Accounts receivable + Inventory + Prepaid expenses) / (Accounts payable + Other current payables)
= (70,200 + 12,800 + 49,500 + 242,000 + 18,000) / (100,500 + 28,000)
= 392,500 / 128,500
= 3.05
The formula for Acid test ratio is
= Quick Assets / Current liabilities
= (Cash + Short term investment + Accounts receivable) / (Accounts payable + Other current payables)
= (70,200 + 12,800 + 49,500) / (100,500 + 28,000)
= 132,500 / 128,500

Use the information for the question(s) below. Rosewood Industries has EBIT of $450 million, interest expense of $175 million, and a corporate tax rate of 35% If Rosewood had no interest expense, its net income would be closest to:___________ a. $430 million b. $160 million c. $290 million d. $405 million
Answer:
$180 million
Explanation:
Net income is calculated as;
= (EBIT - Interest expense)(1 - tax)
Given that;
EBIT = $450 million
Interest expense = $175 million
Tax = 35%
Net income = (450 - 175)(1 - 0.35)
Net income = (275)(0.65)
Net income = $178.75
Net income = $180 million approximated.
Rosewood's net income is closest to $180 million.

Anna Garden recently opened her own basketweaving studio. She sells finished baskets in addition to selling the raw materials needed by customers to weave baskets of their own. Unfortunately, owing to space limitations, Anna is unable to carry all varieties of kits originally assembled and must choose between two basic packages.
The Basic Kit includes undyed, uncut reeds (with dye included) for weaving one basket. This basic package costs Anna $16 and sells for $30. The second kit, called Stage 2, includes cut reeds that have already been dyed. With this kit the customer need only soak the reeds and weave the basket. Anna produces the Stage 2 kit by using the materials included in the Basic Kit. Because she is more efficient at cutting and dying reeds than her average customer, Anna is able to produce two Stage 2 kits in one hour from one Basic Kit. (She values her time at $18 per hour.) The Stage 2 kit sells for $36.
Prepare an incremental analysis for Anna's basket weaving studio.
Answer:
Stage 1 kit Stage 2 kit Differential amount
Selling price $30 $36 $6
Materials cost ($16) ($16) $0
per unit
Additional labor $0 $18/2 = ($9) ($9)
cost per unit
Contribution margin $14 $11 ($3)
per unit
Anna will lose $3 for every Stage 2 kit that she sells. Only if he is able to sell a much higher quantity of Stage 2 kits would it be worth it, but under current conditions Anna should focus on selling Stage 1 kits.

Assume you have a 1-year investment horizon and are trying to choose among three bonds. All have the same degree of default risk and mature in 10 years. The first is a zero-coupon bond that pays $1,000 at maturity. The second has an 6.2% coupon rate and pays the $62 coupon once per year. The third has a 7.2% coupon rate and pays the $72 coupon once per year.
a. If all three bonds are now priced to yield 7% to maturity, what are their prices?
b. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 7% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?

If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93
before tax holding period return = ($543.93 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 7%
after tax HPR = 7% x 0.8 = 5.6%
6.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 7%)⁹ = $543.93
PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.5152 (PV annuity factor, 7%, 10 periods) = $403.94
market price = $947.87
before tax holding period return = ($947.87 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 7%

c. If you expect their yields to maturity to be 6% at the beginning of next year, what will their prices be then? What is your before-tax holding-period return on each bond? If your tax bracket is 30% on ordinary income and 20% on capital gains income, what will your aftertax rate of return be on each?
zero coupon bond = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90
before tax holding period return = ($591.90 - $508.35) / $508.35 = 16.44%
after tax HPR = 16.44% x 0.8 = 13.15%
6.2% coupon bond:
PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁹ = $591.90
PV of coupon payments = $62 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $421.71
market price = $1,013.61
before tax holding period return = ($1,013.61 - $943.81 + $62) / $943.81 = 13.96%
after tax HPR:

PV of coupon payments = $72 x 6.8017 (PV annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $489.72
market price = $1,081.62
before tax holding period return = ($1,081.62 - $1,014.05 + $72) / $1,014.05 = 13.76%
after tax HPR:
($67.57 x 0.8) / $1,014.05 = 5.33%
($72 x 0.7) / $1,014.05 = 4.97%

An unfavorable production-volume variance ________. A. is not a good measure of a lost production opportunity B. indicates that the company had reduced its per unit fixed overhead cost to improve sales C. takes into account the effect of additional revenues due to maintaining higher prices D. measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used
Answer:
d) measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used
Explanation:
An unfavorable production-volume variance measures the amount of extra fixed costs planned for but not used. As per production-volume variance extra fixed costs planned for but not used has unfavorable production-volume variance.
When production-volume variance is unfavorable, that means the fixed cost are allocated on lesser number of manufactured units, hence it indicates that the fixed costs are not controlled well.

b. they may not withdraw before the time that the partners have agreed the partnership will terminate.
c. they must obtain a court order to withdraw because of their limited liability and its effect on the remaining partners and third parties dealing with the business.
d. they may withdraw from the partnership at any time, but they forfeit their investment if they withdraw early.
Answer:
a. if the partnership agreement is silent as to notice required prior to termination, 90 days' written notice is required before the limited partner may withdraw.
Explanation:
Limited partners: The term "limited partner" is described as a "part-owner" of a specific company or organization whose liability associated with the company's debts can't exceed the amount that a person invested in that company. Limited partners are also referred to as "silent partners".
A "limited partner" can withdraw himself or herself from the company or firm any time he or she wants after a six months notice to the other partners, and the person who is withdrawing is being entitled to any specific distribution based on the agreement or, if none, associated with the "fair value" of the interest on the basis of the right to share in "distributions".

The table below shows the weekly marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) for Buddies, a perfectly competitive firm that produces novelty ear buds in a competitive market. The market price of ear buds is $6.00 per pair. Buddies Production CostsQuantity of Ear Buds MC ATC ($) ($)5 - 80 2 515 2.45 4.1520 3.55 425 4 430 5.5 4.2535 6 4.540 8.5 5A. If Buddies wants to maximize its profits, how many pairs of ear buds should it produce?B. At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the total cost of producing ear buds?C. If the market price for ear buds is $6 per pair, and Buddies produces the profit-maximizing quantity of ear buds, what is Buddies weekly profit?D. If the market price is $5.50 per pair, and Buddies produces the profit-maximizing quantity of ear buds, what is Buddies weekly profit?E. Buddies earns a normal profit whena. marginal cost equals average cost at the minimum of average cost.b. marginal cost equals average cost.c. marginal cost equals marginal revenue at the minimum of marginal cost.d. average cost equals average revenue at the minimum of average cost.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
a. The number of pairs of ear buds that should be produced for maximizing the profits is
As we know that
MR = MC
Q = 35
And also the price is equal to the MC
Hence, the quantity that should be produced would be 35
b). The total cost of producing ear buds for maximizing the profit is
As we know that
TC = ATC × Q
= 4.5 × 35
= $157.5
c. The weekly profit is
As we know that
Profit = TR - TC
= (P - ATC) × Q
= (6 - 4.5) × 35
= $52.5
d) The weekly profit is
Profit= (5.5 - 4.25) × 30
= $37.5
e. The normal profit could be earned at the time when the marginal cost is equivalent to the average cost that contains the minimum
Hence, the option a is correct

Answer:
The answer is "12.7"
Explanation:
In the question the correct choice is missing so, its correct solution can be defined as follows:
Following are the formula for calculating the "Average Inventory":
Formula:
[tex]\therefore \text{Inventory Turnover} = \frac{ \text{Cost of Goods Sold}} { \text{Average Inventory}}\\\\\\\because \text{Average Inventory} = \frac{ \text{Cost of Goods Sold}} {\text{Inventory Turnover}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{\$ \ 77}{ 6.05}\\\\=12.7\\[/tex]
Giving customers time to pay their bill generates more sales. But when a recession hits, they may have trouble making payments. If you have businesses as clients, they may have slow-paying customers, and that means they will be slow to pay you. That is what happened to a company that offered a discount card as its primary product. The owner estimated that 50 percent of the firm's customers—other small businesses—were behind in paying what they owed. The owner needed those customers to keep his business operating, so he was hesitant to demand payment on past due accounts.
1. Should a small business owner push customers to pay when times are tough? Why or why not?
2. What problems do you think a business services company might have when is customers do not pay?
Answer:
1. A compromise should be reached.
In the recession, the other small businesses are suffering including the company in question. If the owner pushes the customers to pay their bills, when the recession ends they may move to other vendors which would have made demanding money from them in the recession a myopic and damaging move.
The business however, also has bills to pay and so needs money to maintain operations as well. A compromise needs to be reached. The owner should contact the other businesses still owing and negotiate with them to pay a certain portion of what they owe with the rest coming later.
This could give the owner enough to keep the business running whilst maintaining the loyalty of his customers.
2. Problems that a business services company could have if customers do not pay include;
Inability to pay staff. Inability to pay utilities like electricity.Inability to pay rent and other expenses.Increased risk of debt default.Growth of company suffers.Entity A supplies planed timber, paint, varnish, springs, upholstery, and cushioning to EntityB, which produces a ready to use furniture. Entity C is the marketing department of Entity B. In this context, ______.a. A is an upstream supply chain member, while C is the downstream chain memberb. C is an upstream supply chain member, while A is the downstream chain memberc. B is an upstream supply chain member, while A is the downstream chain memberd. C is an upstream supply chain member, while B is the downstream chain member
Answer:
a. A is an upstream supply chain member, while C is the downstream chain member
Explanation:
Supply chain management can be defined as the effective and efficient management of the flow of goods and services as well as all of the production processes involved in the transformation of raw materials into finished products that meet the insatiable want and need of the consumers. Generally, the supply chain management involves all the activities associated with planning, execution and supply of finished goods and services to the consumers.
The key principle of supply chain management can be best summed up as collaboration between multiple firms. These multiple firms include a company that is saddled with the responsibility of manufacturing, a wholesaler, and a retailer who typically sells the products to the customers or consumers.
Basically, these three (3) firms or individuals are required to collaborate with each other so as to meet the needs of the customers in a timely manner or fashion and at a fair price too.
Entity A supplies planed timber, paint, varnish, springs, upholstery, and cushioning to Entity B, which produces a ready to use furniture. Entity C is the marketing department of Entity B.
In this context, Entity A is an upstream supply chain member, while Entity C is the downstream chain member.
The upstream supply chain member are the suppliers of raw materials to another organization for its production line while the downstream chain member are the intermediary between the manufacturer and the consumer.
