Joan filed her individual income tax return 4½ months after it was due. She did not request an extension of time for filing. Along with her return, Joan remitted a check for $750, which was the balance of the taxes she owed with her return. Disregarding interest, calculate the total penalties that Joan will be required to pay, assuming the failure to file was not fraudulent
Answer:
$187.50
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the total penalties that she will be required to pay
Based on the information if she remitted a check for the amount of $750 the total penalties that she will be required to pay, if it was assumed that the failure to file was not fraudulent will be calculated as:
Total penalties=[$750*(5%*5)]
Total penalties=$750*0.25
Total penalties= $187.50
Therefore the total penalties that she will be required to pay is $187.50
The nations of Pamland and Lillytonia can produce two goods, DVD
players and wheat. In a single year, Pamland can produce 150 DVD players
or 300 bushels of wheat and Lillytonia can produce 200 DVD players or
600 bushels of wheat. Which of the following deals would Pamland and
Lillytonia be willing to accept? *
A) There are no deals for trade that Lillytonia would be willing to accept because
Lillytonia could make more of both goods.
B) Lillytonia sells 1/4 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
C) Lillytonia sells 4 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
D) Lillytonia sells 2.5 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return.
D) Lillytonia sells 2/5 bushels of wheat to Pam and gets 1 DVD player in return
Answer:
The best deal would be option B) that is
Lillytonia sells 1/4 bushels of wheat to Pam land and gets 1 DVD player in return.
Explanation:
STEP 1
The output of DVD per unit of labor for Pamland = 150.
The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Pamland= 300.
The output of DVD per unit of labor for Lillytonia = 200.
The output of Bushels of wheat per unit of labor for Lillytonia= 600.
STEP 2
To calculate the comparative advantage, we use the following formula:
Comparative Advantage = DVD Output / Wheat Output
STEP 3
In Pamland, the opportunity cost, or the comparative advantage, of DVD is
300 / 150 = 2 bushels of wheat.
The opportunity cost of wheat in Pamland is 120/ 300 = 0.5 DVDs.
In Lillytonia the opportunity cost, or comparative advantage, of DVD is 600/200 = 3 bushels of wheat, while
The opportunity cost of wheat in Lillytonia is 200/600 = 1/3 or 0.33333 DVDs
STEP 4
As is clear from the calculations, Pamland should produce more wheat because it has the lower opportunity cost during production 2 against 3 for Lillytonia. Conversly, Lillytonia has the lowest opportunity cost for the production of DVD clocking 1/3 against a higher 1/2 for Pamland.
The countries should therefore trade in such a way that Pamlan is selling it's Wheat while Lillytonia is selling it's DVDs.
STEP 5
Given that Pamland's 2 bushels of wheat will cost it 0.5 DVDs, 4 bushels will thus cost it 1 DVD. It is impracticable (in any case) to have 1/2 of a DVD player.

The company budgeted for production of 2,400 units in June, but actual production was 2,500 units. The company used 19,850 pounds of direct material and 980 direct labor-hours to produce this output. The company purchased 21,700 pounds of the direct material at $6.70 per pound. The actual direct labor rate was $19.20 per hour and the actual variable overhead rate was $1.80 per hour.
The company applies variable overhead on the basis of direct labor-hours. The direct materials purchases variance is computed when the materials are purchased.
The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is: _________
a. $36 U
b. $36 F
c. $40 U
d. $40 F
Answer:
d. $40 F
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what The variable overhead efficiency variance for June is
First step is to calculate the SH
SH = 2,500 units × 0.4 hour per unit
SH= 1,000 hours
Now let calculate the Variable overhead efficiency variance
Using this formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance = (AH - SH) × SR
Let plug in the formula
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (980 hours - 1,000 hours) × $2 per hour= (-20 hours) × $2 per hour
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $40 F
Therefore Variable overhead efficiency variance is $40 F

Explanation:
The sales tax you pay when you gas up your car is regressive.
True.
False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Regressive taxes place more burden on low-income earners. Since they are flat taxes, they take a higher percentage of income on the poor than on high-income earners. Taxes on most consumer goods, sales, gas, and Social Security payroll are examples of regressive taxes.

On December 1, 2021, Coronado Industries exchanged 48000 shares of its $10 par value common stock held in treasury for a used machine. The treasury shares were acquired by Coronado at a cost of $45 per share, and are accounted for under the cost method. On the date of the exchange, the common stock had a fair value of $60 per share (the shares were originally issued at $35 per share). As a result of this exchange, Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Answer:
$2,880,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what Coronado's total stockholders' equity will increase by
Increase in total stockholders' equity =[(48000*45)-(48000 * (60-45))]

After a devastating hurricane, households try to secure loans to repair and rebuild. Other things equal, this would lead toan increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the demand for those loans increased.an increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the demand for those loans increased.an increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the supply for those loans decreased.an increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the supply for those loans decreased.a decrease in interest rates of home repair loans as the supply for those loans increased.
Answer:
Other things equal, this would lead to:
an increase in interest rates of home repair loans as the demand for those loans increased.
Explanation:
With an increase in the demand for house repair loans, as a result of the devastation wrought by the hurricane, the rate of interest on loans normally increases with demand. The concept of scarcity of loanable funds (or limited resources) is the root cause of this increase in house loan rate. The reverse becomes the case when there is a decrease in demand.
In the aftermath of the BP oil spill in 2010, the Associated Press interviewed an engineering professor at the University of California, Berkeley for his take on what could have led to such a disaster. According to this professor, the BP spill falls into the category of disasters that result when an organization, because of overconfidence and incompetence, simply ignores warning signs. Was this a rational decision
Answer:
BP Oil Spill in 2010
The decision by BP to ignore the warning signs was not a rational decision.
Explanation:
A rational decision-making process employs a structured or logical process to the act of decision-making. Its pillars include logic, objectivity, and analysis. A rational decision-making process does not favor subjectivity and individual insight but relies more on the insight obtained from data analysis. The claim of the professor is a rational one because it is based on objective evidence.
Jacques lives in Miami and runs a business that sells guitars. In an average year, he receives $793,000 from selling guitars. Of this sales revenue, he must pay the manufacturer a wholesale cost of $430,000; he also pays wages and utility bills totaling $301,000. He owns his showroom; if he chooses to rent it out, he will receive $15,000 in rent per year. Assume that the value of this showroom does not depreciate over the year. Also, if Jacques does not operate this guitar business, he can work as a financial advisor, receive an annual salary of $50,000 with no additional monetary costs, and rent out his showroom at the $15,000 per year rate. No other costs are incurred in running this guitar business.
Identify each of Jake's costs in the following table as either an implicit cost or an explicit cost of selling guitars.
Implicit Cost Explicit Cost
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Complete the following table by determining Jake's accounting and economic profit of his guitar business.
Profit (Dollars)
Accounting Profit
Economic Profit
Answer:
Explicit Costs
The wages and utility bills that Jake pays
The wholesale cost for the guitars that Jake pays the manufacturer
Implicit costs
The salary Jake could earn if he worked as an accountant
The rental income Jake could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom
Accounting profit = $62,000
economic profit = $-3000
Explanation:
Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business. They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials
Implicit cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. Jacques forgoes the opportunity to earn a salary and rent out his showroom when he started his business
Accounting profit= total revenue - explicit cost
$793,000 - ($430,000 + $301,000) = $62,000
Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit cost
$62,000 - (50,000 + 15,000) =$-3000
Blumen Textiles Corporation began April with a budget for 22,000 hours of production in the Weaving Department. The department has a full capacity of 29,000 hours under normal business conditions. The budgeted overhead at the planned volumes at the beginning of April was as follows: Variable overhead $50,600 Fixed overhead 34,800 Total $85,400 The actual factory overhead was $86,400 for April. The actual fixed factory overhead was as budgeted. During April, the Weaving Department had standard hours at actual production volume of 23,000 hours. Determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance and the fixed factory overhead volume variance. Enter a favorable variance as a negative number using a minus sign and an unfavorable variance as a positive number. Round your interim computations to the nearest cent, if required.
Answer:
A. 1300 Favorable
B. $7,200 UnFavorable
Explanation:
A. Calculation to determine the variable factory overhead controllable variance
First step is to calculate the Budgeted rate of variable overhead
Budgeted rate of variable overhead = $50,600/22,000
Budgeted rate of variable overhead= $2.3per hour
Second step is to calculate the Standard variable overhead for actual production
Standard variable overhead for actual production = 23,000 x $2.3
Standard variable overhead for actual production = $52,900
Now let calculate the Variable factory overhead controllable variance using this formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance = Standard variable overhead - Actual variable overhead
Let plug in the formula
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= $52,900 - ($86,400 - 34,800)
Variable factory overhead controllable variance= 1300 Favorable
Therefore Variable factory overhead controllable variance is 1300 Favorable
B. Calculation to determine the fixed factory overhead volume variance.
First step is to calculate the Predetermined fixed overhead rate using this formula
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = 34,800/29,000
Predetermined fixed overhead rate = $1.20 per hour
Second step is to calculate the Fixed overhead applied
Using this formula
Fixed overhead applied = Standard hours x Standard rate
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead applied= 23,000 x $1.20
Fixed overhead applied= $27,600
Now let calculate the Fixed overhead volume variance using this formula
Fixed overhead volume variance = Fixed overhead applied - Budgeted fixed overhead
Let plug in the formula
Fixed overhead volume variance= $27,600 - 34,800
Fixed overhead volume variance= $7,200 UnFavorable
Therefore The Fixed overhead volume variance is $7,200 UnFavorable
If the toothpaste market is monopolistically competitive, product differentiation would not take the form of: production of many varieties of toothpaste, including those with whitening agents. quality differences among the various brands. setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rivals. differentiation in the locations where certain toothpastes are available.
Answer:
setting the price of the product well below the price charged by the rival
Explanation:
A monopolistic competition is when there are many firms selling differentiated products in an industry. A monopoly has characteristics of both a monopoly and a perfect competition. the demand curve is downward sloping. it sets the price for its goods and services.
An example of monopolistic competition are restaurants
When firms are earning positive economic profit, in the long run, firms enter into the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
If firms are earning negative economic profit, in the long run, firms leave the industry. This drives economic profit to zero
in the long run, only normal profit is earned
If a monopolistically competitive sets price below competitors, losses would be made. So, there is no incentive to do this

Stork Associates paid $65,400 for a 20-seat skybox at Veterans Stadium for eight professional football games. Regular seats to these games range from $55 to $165 each. At one game, an employee of Stork entertained 18 clients. Stork furnished food and beverages for the event at a cost of $2,200. The game was preceded by a bona fide business discussion, and all expenses are adequately substantiated.
a. Stork can deduct $ for this event.
b. If there was no bona fide business discussion either preceding or after the event, there is and the deduction would be $.
Answer: a. $1100
b. $0
Explanation:
It should be noted that according to IRS, 50% of the expenses on business meals will be deducted by tax payers when some conditions are met such as:
• Expenses incurred shouldn't be costly or extravagant.
• Expenses are necessary.
• Expenses on meal were incurred separately from expenses on entertainment.
• The taxpayer was present there when the expenses were incurred.
Based on the above,
a. The amount that Stork can deduct will be:
= 50% × $2200
= 0.5 × $2200
= $1100
b. If there was no bona fide business discussion either preceding or after the event, the deduction will be $0 because in such case, no expenses were incurred on food or entertainment.

. During 2007, Eaton Corp. started a construction job with a total contract price of $7,000,000. It was completed on December 15, 2008. Additional data are as follows: 2007 2008 Actual costs incurred in current year $2,700,000 $3,050,000 Estimated remaining costs 2,700,000 — Billed to customer 2,400,000 4,600,000 Received from customer 2,000,000 4,800,000 Under the completed-contract method, what amount should Eaton recognize as gross profit for 2008?
Answer:
$1,250,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what amount should Eaton recognize as gross profit for 2008
Using this formula
2008 Recognized gross profit=Total contract price- 2007 Actual costs incurred in current year -2008 Actual costs incurred in current year
Let plug in the formula
2008 Recognized gross profit=$7,000,000 - $2,700,000 - $3,050,000
2008 Recognized gross profit=$1,250,000
Therefore The amount that Eaton should recognize as gross profit for 2008 is $1,250,000
Cityscape Hotels has 200 rooms available in a major metropolitan city. The hotel is able to attract business customers during the weekdays and leisure customers during the weekend. However, the leisure customers on weekends occupy fewer rooms than do business customers on weekdays.
Thus, Cityscape plans to provide special weekend pricing to attract additional leisure customers. A hotel room is priced at $180 per room night. The cost of a hotel room night includes the following:
Cost Per Room Night (at normal occupancy)
Housekeeping service................................................................$ 23
Utilities............................................................................................7
Amenities........................................................................................3
Hotel depreciation.........................................................................55
Hotel staff (excluding housekeeping)............................................42
Total....................................................................................$130
The special weekend price is proposed for $120 per room night. At this price, it is anticipated that average occupancy for the weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) will increase from 30% to 50% of available rooms.
A. What is the contribution margin for a room night under the normal pricing if only the hotel depreciation and hotel staff (excluding housekeeping) are assumed fixed for all occupancy levels?
B. Determine the contribution margin for a room night under the proposed weekend pricing.
C. Prepare a differential analysis showing the differential income for an average weekend between the existing (Alternative 1) and discount (Alternative 2) price plan.
D. Should management accept the proposed weekend pricing plan? Explain.
