Jeff, a 52% owner of an S corporation, has a stock basis of zero at the beginning of the year. Jeff's basis in a $10,000 loan made to the corporation and evidenced by a corporate note has been reduced to zero by pass-through losses. During the year, his net share of the corporate taxable income is $11,000. At the end of the year, Jeff receives a $15,000 cash distribution.
Discuss the tax effects of the distribution.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
In order to restore any reduction in loan basis, only the net increase is applied in line with section 1367(b)(Adjustment to basis of stocks of shareholders).
What this means is that there is no net increase regarding the information given above I.e ($11,000 - $15,000).
We can safely conclude that there is $11,000 tax free income since the stock basis has been increased by $11,000. There is also a $4,000 capital gain.
Assume that Jones Co. will need to purchase 100,000 Singapore dollars (S$) in 180 days. Today's spot rate of the S$ is $.50, and the 180-day forward rate is $.53. A call option on S$ exists, with an exercise price of $.52, a premium of $.02, and a 180-day expiration date. A put option on S$ exists, with an exercise price of $.51, a premium of $.02, and a 180-day expiration date. Jones has developed the following probability distribution for the spot rate in 180 days: The probability that the forward hedge will result in a higher payment than the options hedge is ____ (include the amount paid for the premium when estimating the U.S. dollars required for the options hedge).
Answer:
10%
Explanation:
Based on the information given The PROBABILITY that the FORWARD HEDGE will tend to result in a higher payment than the OPTIONS HEDGE is 10% which indicate or means that Jones will pay the amount of $48,000 calculated as ( $.48 *$100,000) which is lower or lesser than the amount of $58,000 calculated as ( $.53 *$100,000) that was been paid with the forward hedge.

Why do governments usually support and regulate natural monopolies?
A two or more firms are cost-prohibitive
B competition makes prices lower in a natural monopoly
C owners of natural monopolies do not know how to manage them efficiently
D itis difficult to keep up with advancing technology
Answer:
c
Explanation:
A monopoly is when there is only one firm operating in an industry. there are usually high barriers to entry of firms. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of a monopoly is a utility company
A natural monopoly occurs due to the high start-up costs or a large economies of scale.
Natural monopolies are usually the only company providing a service in a particular region. there is no competition in a natural monopoly so prices tend to be high. government intervenes in a monopoly to ensure that customers are treated fairly
Waterways has discovered that a small fitting it now manufactures at a cost of $1.00 per unit could be bought elsewhere for $0.83 per unit. Waterways has fixed costs of $0.20 per unit that cannot be eliminated by buying this unit. Waterways needs 474,000 of these units each year. If Waterways decides to buy rather than produce the small fitting, it can devote the machinery and labor to making a timing unit it now buys from another company. Waterways uses approximately 500 of these units each year. The cost of the unit is $13.26. To aid in the production of this unit, Waterways would need to purchase a new machine at a cost of $2,369, and the cost of producing the units would be $10.00 a unit. Without considering the possibility of making the timing unit, evaluate whether Waterways should buy or continue to make the small fitting. The company should (buy/Make) the fitting. Incremental cost / (savings) will be ____________$
Answer:
Particulars Make Buy Incremental cost
Manufacturing cost $474,000 $474,000
Purchase $393,420 ($393,420)
(474,000*$0.83)
Fixed Cost $94,800 ($94,800)
(474,000*$0.20)
Total relevant cost $474,000 $488,220 ($14,220)
Conclusion: The company should make the fitting and the incremental savings will be $14,220

Suppose we want to estimate the effects of alcohol consumption (alcohol) on college grade point average (cGPA). In addition to collecting information on grade point averages and alcohol usage, we also obtain attendance information (say, percentage of lectures attended, called attend). A standardized test score (say, SAT) and high school GPA (hsGPA) are also available
(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)
(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
(i) Should we include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model? (Think about how you would interpret beta-alcohol.)
No. We should not include attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in a multiple regression model. This is due to the fact that a high degree of negative correlation exists between attend along with alcohol and including both of them will bring about multi collinearity.
(ii) Should SAT and hsGPA be included as explanatory variables? Explain.
Yes. SAT and hsGPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is important to overcome bias of the model.
(i) So according to me, my answer will be No. We should not include Attend along with alcohol as explanatory variables in multiple factors of the regression model. This is due to the fact that is a high degree of negative correlation exists between the attend also, along with alcohol, and including both of them will bring about multicollinearity.
(ii) When the variables of SAT AND hsGPA my answer will be Yes. SAT and HSDPA should be included as explanatory variables. This is most important to overcome the bias of the model.

Robert is the sole shareholder and CEO of ABC, Inc., an S corporation that is a qualified trade or business. During the current year, ABC has net income of $325,000 after deducting Robert’s $100,000 salary. In addition to his compensation, ABC pays Robert dividends of $250,000. What is Robert’s qualified business income? Would your answer to part (a) change if you determined that reasonable compensation for someone with Robert’s experience and responsibilities is $200,000? Why or why not
Answer and Explanation:
a. The calculation of the robert qualified business income is shown below:
Since robert is the sole shareholder and CEO of the ABC Inc and earned the income of $325,000 after subtracting the deduction of $100,000 salary
Also their is a dividend of $250,000
But the qualified business income should be equivalent to the net income i.e. $325,000
b. In the case when there is $200,000 so the net income would be decreased by $100,000
Now the qualified business income is
= $325,000 - $100,000
= $225,000
A review of current distribution procedures reveals that the Valley Voice employs 100 truck drivers to drop off bundles of newspapers to 1,300 teenagers who deliver papers to individual homes. The drivers are paid an hourly wage while the teenagers receive 4 cents for each paper they deliver.
Turkey is considering an alternative method of distributing the papers, which he says has worked in other cities the size of Flower Mound (where the Valley Voice is published). Under the new system, the newspaper would retain 20 truck drivers to transport papers to five distribution centers around the city. The distribution centers are operated by independent contractors who would be responsible for making their own arrangements to deliver papers to subscribers’ homes. The 20 drivers retained by the Valley Voice would receive the same hourly rate as they currently earn, and the independent contractors would receive 20 cents for each paper delivered.
Required:
1. What payroll information does Turkey need in order to make a decision about adopting the alternative distribution method?
2. Assume the following information:
a. The average driver earns $42,000 per year.
b. Average employee income tax withholding is 15 percent.
c. The social security tax is 6.2 percent of the first $122,700 of earnings.
d. The Medicare tax is 1.45 percent of all earnings.
e. The state unemployment tax is 5 percent, and the federal unemployment tax is 0.6 percent of the first $7,000 of earnings.
f. Workers’ compensation insurance is 70 cents per $100 of wages.
g. The paper pays $300 per month for health insurance for each driver and contributes $250 per month to each driver’s pension plan.
h. The paper has liability insurance coverage for all teenage carriers that costs $100,000 per year.
3. Prepare a schedule showing the costs of distributing the newspapers under the current system and the proposed new system. Based on your analysis, which system would you recommend to Turkey?
4. What other factors, monetary and nonmonetary, might influence your decision?

The Valley Voice is a local newspaper that is published Monday through Friday. It sells 90,000 coples dally. The paper is currently in a profit squeeze, and the publisher, Tom Turkey, Is looking for ways to reduce expenses.
Answer:
Valley Voice
1. It needs to know the total costs incurred under the old system and the new system.
2. See schedules below showing the costs under the two distribution systems.
3. The old system wins under economic considerations, especially given the fact that the publisher is currently experiencing profit squeeze.
4. If the amount paid per paper to the independent contractors can be renegotiated downwards, this may change the decision. With the new arrangement, will more papers be sold each day? Labor practices and laws do not favor the use of teenagers as workers. Will the company face some penalties or sanctions as a result? What about the bad publicity that the paper will face as a backlash following the use of teenagers? There are other considerations.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Number of copies daily = 90,000
Number of copies yearly = 32,850,000 (90,000 * 365 days)
Average annual salary of a driver = $42,000
Total annual salary of drivers = $4,200,000
Average employee income tax withholding = 15%
Social security tax = 6.2% of the first $122,700 of earners
Medicare tax = 1.45% all earnings
State Unemployment tax = 5%
Federal Unemployment tax = 0.6% of the first $7,000 of earnings
Workers' compensation insurance = 0.7% ($0.70 per $100 of wages)
Health insurance for each driver = $3,600 ($300 * 12)
Pension Plan = $3,000 ($250 * 12)
Liability insurance coverage for all teenage carriers = $100,000 per year
Total cost under the old system:
Total annual salary of drivers ($42,000 * 100) $4,200,000
Social security tax = 6.2% of the first $122,700 = 7,607
Medicare tax = 1.45% all earnings = 60,900
State Unemployment tax = 5% 105,000 (1/2)
Federal Unemployment tax = 0.6% of the first
$7,000 of earnings ($700,000 * 0.6%) 4,200
Workers' compensation insurance = 0.7%
($0.70 per $100 of wages) ($4,200,000 * 0.7%) 29,400
Health insurance for each driver = $3,600 * 100
($300 * 12) 360,000

Liability insurance coverage
for all teenage carriers = $100,000 per year 100,000
Payment to teenage carriers ($0.04 * 32,850,000) 1,314,000
Total payroll cost $6,481,100
Total cost under the new arrangement:
Total annual salary of drivers ($42,000 * 20) $840,000
Social security tax = 6.2% of the first $122,700 = 7,607
Medicare tax = 1.45% all earnings = 12,180
State Unemployment tax = 5% 21,000 (1/2)

Partial-year depreciation is calculated based on the number of months the asset is in service.
Answer:
Missing word: "1. Straight line. 2. Double-declining balance. Depreciation rate(20%)"
1. Straight line depreciation
Annual Depreciation = Cost - Salvage / Estimated Useful Life (years)
Annual Depreciation = $143,000 / 10
Annual Depreciation = $14,300
Depreciation Expenses = Annual Depreciation * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 3/12
Depreciation Expenses = $3575
2022: Depreciation Expenses = 14300 * 12/12
Depreciation Expenses = $14,300
2. Double-declining balance
Depreciation Expense = Beginning of period Book value * Depreciation rate(%) * Fraction of Year
2021: Depreciation Expense = $148000 * 20% 3/12
Depreciation Expense = $7400
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $148000 - $7400
Book Value = $140,600
2022: Depreciation Expense = $140,600 * 20% * 12/12
Depreciation Expense = $35,520
Book Value = Beginning of period Book value - Accumulated Depreciation
Book Value = $140,600 - $35,520
Book Value = $105,080

Explanation:
First, we will calculate the depreciation expenses
Depreciation expense = Cost / life = $84,000 / 30 = $2,800 per year
Huron Company produces a commercial cleaning compound known as Zoom. The direct materials and direct labor standards for one unit of Zoom are given below:
Standard Quantity or Hours Standard Price or Rate Standard Cost
Direct materials 7.90 pounds $2.10 per pound $16.59
Direct labor 0.50 hours $5.00 per hour $2.50
During the most recent month, the following activity was recorded:
a. 14,850.00 pounds of material were purchased at a cost of $2.00 per pound.
b. All of the material purchased was used to produce 1,500 units of Zoom.
c. 600 hours of direct labor time were recorded at a total labor cost of $4,200.
Required:
1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for the month.
2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for the month.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price and quantity variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.1 - 2)*14,850
Direct material price variance= $1,485 favorable
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (7.9*1,500 - 14,850)*2.1
Direct material quantity variance= $6,300 unfavorable
To calculate the direct labor efficiency and rate variance, we need to use the following formulas:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,500*0.5 - 600)*5
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $750 favorable
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (5 - 7)*600
Direct labor rate variance= $1,200 unfavorable
Actual rate= 4,200/600= $7

Lunar coast Incorporated issued BBB bonds two years ago that provided a yield to maturity of 12.5
percent. Long-term risk-free government bonds were yielding 8.5 percent at that time. The current
risk premium on BBB bonds versus government bonds is half of what it was two years ago. If the riskfree long-term government bonds are currently yielding 7.8 percent, then at what rate should Lunar
coast expect to issue new bonds
Answer:
"9.80%" is the appropriate solution.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Yield to maturity,
= 12.5%
Risk free gov. bond,
= 8.5%
Long terms gov. bond,
= 7.8%
Now,
The current speed between bonds such as BBB as well as government will be:
= [tex]\frac{12.5-8.5}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{4}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]2.00 \ percent[/tex]
hence,
The expected rate will be:
= [tex]7.8+2.00[/tex]
= [tex]9.80 \ percent[/tex]

In a two-player, one-shot simultaneous-move game each player can choose strategy A or strategy B. If both players choose strategy A, each earns a payoff of $400. If both players choose strategy B, each earns a payoff of $200. If player 1 chooses strategy A and player 2 chooses strategy B, then player 1 earns $100 and player 2 earns $600. If player 1 chooses strategy B and player 2 chooses strategy A, then player 1 earns $600 and player 2 earns $100.
Required:
a. Write the above game in normal form.
b. Find each player’s dominant strategy, if it exists.
c. Find the Nash equilibrium (or equilibria) of this game.
d. Rank strategy pairs by aggregate payoff (highest to lowest).
e. Can the outcome with the highest aggregate payoff be sustained in equilibrium? Why or why not?
Answer:
a) attached below
b) Player 1 dominant strategy = when he chooses strategy B
Player 2 dominant strategy = when he chooses strategy B
c) Strategy A is the Nash equilibrium
d) AA = $800
AB , BA = $700
BB = $400
e) Yes
Explanation:
A) The Game written in Normal form
attached below
B) Determine each player dominant strategy
Player 1 dominant strategy = when he chooses strategy B
Player 2 dominant strategy = when he chooses strategy B
C) The Nash Equilibrium of the game is when Both players choose strategy A because when they both choose Strategy they both earn $400 each
D) Ranking strategy pairs from Highest to lowest
AA = $800
AB , BA = $700
BB = $400
E) The outcome can be sustained
because The Nash equilibrium is the same as the highest ranking strategy pair ( i.e. AA = $800 )
TB MC Qu. 08-93 A company has established... A company has established 5 pounds of Material J at $2 per pound as the standard for the material in its Product Z. The company has just produced 1,000 units of this product, using 5,200 pounds of Material J that cost $9,880.The direct materials price variance is: Multiple Choice $520 unfavorable. $400 unfavorable. $120 favorable. $520 favorable. $400 favorable.
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $520 favorable
Explanation:
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2 - 1.9)*5,200
Direct material price variance= $520 favorable
Actual price= 9,880 / 5,200= $1.9

You got asked to analyze a 5 year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,500, but requires an annual labor and materials cost of $5,000. To initiate the project your firm must invest $20,000. The salvage value of the project is $5,000 and has a 5 year useful life.
Use straight line depreciation and a 40% income tax rate to compute the after tax cash flows and the IRR for the ATCF of this project.
Answer:
15,300
72.70%
Explanation:
After tax cash flow = (revenue - cost - depreciation) (1 - tax rate) + depreciation
Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
($20,000 - $5,000) / 5 = $3,000
($28,500 - $5,000 - $3000) x (1 - 0.4) + $3000 = $15,300
Terminal year cash flow = after tax cash flow + salvage value
$15,300 + $5,000 = $20,300
Internal rate of return is the discount rate that equates the after-tax cash flows from an investment to the amount invested
IRR can be calculated with a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $20,000.
Cash flow in year 1 - 4= $15,300
Cash flow in year 5 = $20,300
IRR = 72.70%
To find the IRR using a financial calculator:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the IRR button and then press the compute button.
An airline knows that there are two types of travelers: business travelers and vacationers. For a particular flight, there are 100 business travelers who will pay $600 for a ticket while there are 50 vacationers who will pay $300 for a ticket. There are 150 seats available on the plane. Suppose the cost to the airline of providing the flight is $20,000, which includes the cost of the pilots, flight attendants, fuel, etc.
Required:
a. How much profit will the airline earn if it sets the price of each ticket at $600?
b. How much additional profit can the airline earn by charging each customer their willingness to pay relative to charging a flat price of $600 per ticket?
Answer: it would be 100 business travlers who will pay 600$ for a ticket
Explanation: well if you do the math 600×100=60,00 and that would pay for the airline expenses and extra the other option wouldnt be enough because it would only add up to 15,000 300×50=15,00 so it would be enough
