Mr. Bagley, a self-employed musician, timely filed his Year 1 income tax return, which showed an AGI of $180,000 and total tax of $45,000. He expects his Year 2 total tax to be $70,000. What is his required payment through withholding and estimated tax for Year 2
Answer:
$45,000
Explanation:
Since we assume that Mr. Bagley calculated his next year's taxes correctly, in order to determine the federal tax withholding, we should divide the total expected taxes by 4. Generally self-employed pay federal tax withholdings in quarterly payments.
Mr. Bagley has two options:
the first option is to pay quarterly taxes according to last year's taxes = $45,000 / 4 = $11,250 per quarter. This would be the required payment. Mr. Bagley's second option is to pay $70,000 / 4 = $17,500 every quarter in order to lower his final annual payment. He can choose to do this, but he is not required to do so.Financial Statements of a Manufacturing Firm

What is the true income tax rate on interest income if the nominal interest rate is 8 percent a year, the inflation rate is 5 percent a year, and the tax rate on nominal interest is 25 percent? The true income tax rate is nothing percent.
Answer:
66.67%
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Interest paid
Tax Paid = 25% x 8% = 2%
Tax paid is the nominal rate, now we need to calculate the real rate.
Before-tax real interest rate = Nominal Interest rate - Inflation rate
Before-tax real interest rate = 8% - 5% = 3%
True Income Tax rate = Tax paid / Before-tax real interest rate
True Income Tax rate = 2% / 3%
True Income Tax rate = 66.67%
Sodium Inc. borrowed $175,000 on April 1. The note requires interest at 12% and principal to be paid in one year. How much interest is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31?
Answer:
The amount of interest that is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31 is $15,750
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
interest=12%
From April 1 to December 31 we have 9 months
Sodium Inc. borrowed $175,000
Therefore, in order to calculate the amount of interest that is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31 we would have to make the following calculation:
Interest for 9 months= $175,000 x 12% x 9 months / 12
Interest for 9 months=$15,750
The amount of interest that is recognized for the period from April 1 to December 31 is $15,750

Distinguish between the direct and indirect strategies. when is each appropriate.
Answer: Depends on Content and Audience.
Explanation:
Deciding which strategy to use depends on the content of the work to be presented or the audience being presented to.
If the content is positive or if the audience are Positive or neutral about the work to be presented, the Direct Strategy is preferable. This refers to stating the conclusion or main idea at the beginning of the presentation and then working to explain it.
However, if you deduce that the audience are not positive to the content or that the content is not exactly good news or positive, it would be best to use the Indirect approach. With this approach you start with the evidence and other information then state the conclusion or main idea towards the end. This gives you the opportunity to win the audience over or at least explain why the content is negative before they reach the conclusion.
First Choice Carpets is considering purchasing new weaving equipment costing $ 734 comma 000. The company's management has estimated that the equipment will generate cash inflows as follows: Year 1 $ 214 comma 000 2 214 comma 000 3 254 comma 000 4 254 comma 000 5 154 comma 000 Considering the residual value is zero, calculate the payback period. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
Answer: 3.20 years
Explanation:
The Payback Period is a financial evaluation technique for the viability of projects by checking how long it will take for a project to pay back it's Initial cost of capital.
The above weaving machine cost $734,000 and will generate cash for 5 years.
In the first 3 years it will generate,
= 214,000 + 214,000 + 254,000
= $682,000
You can tell that the Machine will have paid off by the fourth year judging by how much is left to payback.
However, the exact period is needed. You can get that by dividing the amount remaining by the Cashflow for the year in which it is to be completed. This way you can see the proportion of time it will take for the current year to reach the desired sum.
The Cashflow for Year 4 is $254,000.
= (Initial investment - Amount from Year before Payback Year) / Cashflow in Payback Year
= (734,000 - 682,000) / 254,000
= 52,000/ 254,000
= 0.20
It will take 0.20 of Year 4 to payback the amount fully.
That means that the total Payback Period is,
= 3 years + 0.20
= 3.2 years

g A depreciation of the U.S. real exchange rate induces U.S. consumers to buy a. fewer domestic goods and fewer foreign goods. b. more domestic goods and fewer foreign goods. c. fewer domestic goods and more foreign goods. d. more domestic goods and more foreign goods.
Answer:
more domestic goods and fewer foreign goods.
Explanation:
Real exchange rate is the rate at which the goods and services of a domestic country is exchanged for the goods and services of a foreign country.
If there's deprecation, it means that foreign goods becomes more expensive relative to domestic goods. As a result, demand for foreign goods would fall and demand for domestic goods would increase.

The business world is becoming increasingly global due to advances in technology and travel. This means that businesspeople must know how to navigate intercultural ethics, not just the ethics of their particular country. To better prepare for the ethical challenges of a global marketplace, you should broaden your cultural awareness and familiarize yourself with strategies that help you adhere to legal and ethical guidelines.Read the following passages, and then answer the questions.You have recently been told you are going on a business trip to Thailand. You want to schedule a meeting with your supervisor to discuss how she conducts business in an ethical manner while in Thailand. In order to prepare for the meeting, you make a list of questions you would like to ask.What is an example of a good question to ask in this meeting?What are the company policies when it comes to handling bribery?Is it customary in this country to take off your shoes before entering a home?What are the top three sights I should see?After solidifying an overseas deal with a large bottling company, the executive informs you that in order to expedite the signing of the materials, he will need an extra $10,000.How should you react to his request?Immediately judge the man as immoral and corrupt and end the business deal.Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn’t in the original contract. Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.Negotiate his request and offer $5,000.Rather than determining whether a culture has good or bad ethics, it is best to look for practical solutions to the cultural challenges of doing global business.Which of the following suggestions acknowledge different values and respect the need for moral initiative? Check all that apply.Find alternatives.Don’t rationalize shady decisions.Avoid transparency.Refuse business if it violates your basic values.
Since the questions are different, the answers are separated for question 1 and 2
ANSWER:
1) The best question to ask is: "What are the top three sights I should see".
2) Avoid assuming unethical behavior until you clarify what he is asking for in relation to the agreed-upon contract.
Inform the executive that this extra $10,000 wasn't in the original contract.
EXPLANATION:
1) It I very important to know the things expected to happen in the meeting, so that you can prepare ahead for it. Knowing the top three sights will help you prepare ahead for them. This question tends to extract the frequent and most occuring actions the supervisor always encounter during her meetings at Thailand.
2) It is not always right for us to condemn people's actions without the details of such action. Try to understand the details of why the executive wants you to add $10,000 to the cost of the project, so that you won't assume wrongly. And it is always right to specify the $10,000 demanded by the executive as a separate cost from the initial cost of the project, if the money does not directly linked the the initial cost of the project.

A bankrupt who owns a house has the option of either paying the mortgage or losing his home. The court cannot reduce the amount owed; its choice is to discharge the entire debt or leave it whole. Congress considered a bill that would permit a bankruptcy judge to adjust the terms of mortgages to aid debtors in holding onto their houses. Proponents argued that this change in the law would reduce foreclosures and stabilize the national housing market. Opponents said that it was not fair to reward homeowners for being irresponsible. How would you have voted on this bill?
Answer: I will vote in favor of the bill.
Explanation:
Based on the above scenario, I would vote in favor of the bill. The argument here is in the case of bankruptcy, if an individual is willing to pay their dues but because of unavoidable financial circumstances, the individual seeks more time or other assistance which can help so that the person will later pay. I believe it's a good idea which should be supported by the law.
The court should have the right to decide terms of mortgages to help debtors in order for them to pay their debts in future rather than forcing them to leave the house. It will also help the country deal with issue of facilitating housing to maximum number of individuals.
In my opinion, the judge's decision should be given prime importance as the judge must evaluate the intention of the debtor and the capability of the debtor to pay the debts

magine that the current owner of the land in the previous exercise was willing to sell the land for $2 million. Assuming this amount equaled the social opportunity cost of the land, calculate the net benefits if the county were to purchase the land as a permanent wildlife refuge. In making these calculations, first assume a zero annual growth rate in the $110,000 of annual real benefits; then assume that these benefits grow at a rate of 2 percent per year.
Answer:
$1,666,667
Explanation:
Let assume that the annual growth rate is Zero
PV = ($110,000)/(.05)
= $2,200,000
NPV= $2,200,000 - $2,000,000
= $200,000
Let assume that the benefit growth rate is 2%
PV = ($110,000)/(.05-.02)
=$110,000/0.03
= $3,666,667
NPV=
$3,666,667 - $2,000,000
= $1,666,667
Richman Company purchased $1,200,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds from Carlin, Inc. on January 1, 2021, with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $1,249,896 at an effective interest rate of 7%. Using the effective interest method, Richman Company adjusted the Available-for-Sale Debt Securities account for the Carlin, Inc. bonds on July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 by the amortized premiums. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Carlin, Inc. bonds was $1,272,000. Prepare the journal entry for Richman Company to record the same.
Answer:
Dr. Bond Receivable $30,761
Cr. Gain on Revaluation $30,761
Explanation:
A bond is issued on the premium if it is issued at a value over its face value,
Bond Premium = Issuance value - Face Value = $1,249,896 - $1,200,000 = $49,896
July 1,2021
Amortization = ($1,200,000 x 8% ) - ( $1,249,896 x 7% ) = $8,507 x 6/12 = $4,254
Un-amortised Premium = $49,896 - $4,254 = $45,642
Carrying Value = $1,200,000 - $45,642 = $1154,358
Dec 31 , 2021
Amortization = ($1,200,000 x 8% ) - ( $1,245,642 x 7% ) = $8,507 x 6/12 = $4,403
Un-amortised Premium = $45,642 - $4,403 = $41,239
Carrying value = $1,200,000 + $41,239 = $1,241,239

Soap Company manufactures soap X and soap Y and can sell all it can make of either. Hours available to produce the products are the constrained resources. Based on the following data, if Soap could reduce the processing time for X by 10 percent, which of the following statements is true?
X Y
Sales Price $20 $25
Variable Cost 14 15
Hours needed to process 3 5
A. It would take 162 minutes to process one unit of X.
B. There would be no difference in the contribution margin per hour as compared to it before the processing time reduction.
C. The contribution margin per hour for X would be $2.
D. Soap Y would still be the most profitable.
Answer:
It would take 162 minutes to make one unit of product X.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Hours available to produce the products are the constrained resources.
Soap could reduce the processing time for X by 10 percent.
X Y
Sales Price $20 $25
Variable Cost 14 15
Hours needed to process 3 5
First, we need to determine the number of minutes required to make one unit of Product X under the new method:
Number of minutes required= (3*60)*0.9= 162 minutes.
It would take 162 minutes to make one unit of product X.
B) False. The contribution margin per hour of Product B is higher than product Y.
C) False. The contribution margin per hour of $2 was before the improvement in product X.
D) False. Product Y has a higher contribution margin per unit but lower compared to the contribution margin per hour.
The materials price and efficiency variances could be an indication that the company purchased less expensive ingredients of higher ​quality, which resulted in more than the standard number of rejected units. The labor price variance suggests that more experienced workers may have worked​ more, resulting in a faster work pace and a higher than normal amount of rejects or waste.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
The answer to the question is False.
Explanation:
Materials Price and Efficiency Variance measures cost of materials purchased against the amount budgeted for it. When materials which are higher in quality are purchased at a lower price, the Materials Price Variance is said to be favorable. This means that it should lead to a lower number of rejected units given that one purchased materials of higher quality.
Labor price variance is favourable if the actual cost of labor to the organisation fall below the budgeted amount.
The measure of expected output from a certain input of materials is referred to as material yield variance. Material yield variance is directly related to labour efficience variance.
A favorable labor price/material yield variance should result in faster work pace and lower of waste or rejects.
Therefore the above assertions are false.

Professor Stern's colleague, Dr. Schmertz, gives one midterm exam and a final exam. He weights the final twice as heavily as the midterm to determine the course grade. No grades can be dropped. If the midterm score is represented on the horizontal axis and the final score on the vertical axis, and if a student in Dr. Schmertz's class cares only about her course grade, her indifference curve is:______
(a) a line with slope -2.
(b) a line with slope -1.
(c) a line with slope - 0:5.
(d) L-shaped with the kink at (x, 2x).
(e) L-shaped with the kink at (2x, x).
Answer: c) a line with slope - 0:5.
Explanation:
The final exam weights twice as much as the midterm.
Denote that by assuming that the final exam is Y and the midterms is X.
This would mean that the Course grade is,
= 2y + x
Since the Course grade is all the student cares about then that means that her Utility is the same.
U = 2y + x
If we were to draw an indifference curve based on a utility level of hers say for instance c, we would denote it as,
c = 2y + x
The equation of a line takes the form,
y = mx + c with m being the slope.
Denoting the indifference curve in this manner would therefore be,
c = 2y + x
c/2 = y + x/2
c/2 - x/2 = y
y = -x/2 + c/2
y = -½x + c/2
The slope will therefore be -½.
Assume that a $1,000,000 par value, semiannual coupon US Treasury note with three years to maturity has a coupon rate of 3%. The yield to maturity (YTM) of the bond is 7.70%. Using this information and ignoring the other costs involved, calculate the value of the Treasury note:
Answer:
Value of treasury Note =$876,205.93
Explanation:
The value of the notes is the present value of future cash flow discounted at its YTM of 7.70%.
The value of the Note is the present value of the future cash receipts expected from the it. The value is equal to present values of interest payment and the redemption value (RV).
Value of Notes = PV of interest + PV of RV
The value of Note can be worked out as follows:
Step 1
Calculate the PV of Interest payment
Present value of the interest payment
PV = Interest payment × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
r-Yield to Maturity, n- number of years
Interest payment = 3% × $1,000,000 × 1/2= $15000 .
Semi-annual interest yield = 7.7%/2 =3.85
PV = 15,000 × (1 - (1.0385)^(-3×2)/0.0385) = 79,017.4892
Step 2
PV of redemption Value
PV of RV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
= 1000,000 × (1.0385)^(-3×2)
= 797188.4444
Step 3
Calculate Value of the Notes
=79,017.4892 + 797,188.44
= $876,205.93
Value of treasury Note =$876,205.93
Some company executives favor the idea of contract manufacturing using local players, whereas others feel a direct investment strategy would be better. What would most strengthen argument for direct investment?
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
A direct investment refers to an investment in a foreign business enterprise designed to acquire a controlling interest in this enterprise. Therefore based on the listed options, the one that would strengthen this the most would be that "The operation will be used as an export hub for South Asian markets." Since this will allow for the company to be able to handle all logistics processes in the new market and not have to depend on other companies, thus increasing their controlling interest in that market.

Answer:
Details Year 2 Year 1
Operating profit margin 53.27% 46.77%
Net income margin 35.95% 30.51%
Return on total assets 12.51% 12.98%
Return on common equity 36.53% 24.41%
Comments:
1. St. McStanky Beer Co. income generation from operation improved in year 2 by 6.50% as it increased to 53.27% in Year 2 from 46.77% in Year 1.
2. St. McStanky Beer Co. net income generation improved in year by 5.44% as it increased to 35.95% in Year 2 from 30.51% in Year 1.
3. The assets of St. McStanky Beer Co. are less profitable in generating revenue in year 2 as it decreased by 0.84% to 12.51% in Year 2 from 12.98% in Year 1.
4. St. McStanky Beer Co. earns more net income per investment dollar as it returns on common equity improved by 12.11% to 36.53% in Year 2 from 24.41% in Year 1.
Explanation:
The profitability ratios are calculated as follows:
a. Operating profit margin
Operating margin = Operating Income / Net Sales
Year 2 Operating margin = 2,368 / 4,445 = 0.5327, or 53.27%
Year 1 Operating margin = 1,637 / 3,500 = 0.4677, or 46.77%
b. Net income margin
Net income margin = Net income / Net Sales
Year 2 Net income margin = 1,598 / 4,445 = 0.3595, or 35.95%
Year 1 Net income margin = 1,068 / 3,500 = 0.3051, or 30.51%
c. Return on total assets
Return on total assets = Net income / Total assets
Year 2 Return on total assets = 1,598 / 13,157 = 0.1215, or 12.15%
Year 1 Return on total assets = 1,068 / 8,225 = 0.1298, or 12.98%
d. Return on common equity
Return on common equity = Net income / Common equity
Since the firm did not issue new stock during either year, we use the same common equity for the two years as follows:
Year 2 Return on common equity = 1,598 / 4,375 = 0.3653, or 36.53%
Year 1 Return on common equity = 1,068 / 4,375 = 0.2441, or 24.41%
All of the following statements regarding valuation of receivables under U.S. GAAP and IFRS are true except:______
A. Both require the allowance method for uncollectibles unless uncollectibles are immaterial.
B. Both require that receivables be reported net of estimated collectibles.
C. Both require that the expenses for estimated collectibles be recorded in the same period revenues generated from those receivables are recorded.
D. Both allow using percent of sales, percent of receivables, or aging of receivables to estimate uncollectibles.
E. Both require that the expense related to uncollectibles be recorded when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Answer:
E. Both require that the expense related to uncollectibles be recorded when the receivable is determined to be uncollectible.
Explanation:
GAAP is an acronym for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, it comprises of the accounting standard, procedures and principles used by public institutions in the United States of America. The U.S GAAP is issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
IFRS is an acronym for International Financial Reporting Standards, it comprises of a set of accounting standards or rules issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that statement of income, when reported by accountants is consistent, transparent and comparable globally.
Also, there are notable similarities between the U.S GAAP and IFRS, these are;
1. Both require the allowance method for uncollectibles unless uncollectibles are immaterial.
2. Both require that receivables be reported net of estimated collectibles.
3. Both require that the expenses for estimated collectibles be recorded in the same period revenues generated from those receivables are recorded.
4. Both allow using percent of sales, percent of receivables, or aging of receivables to estimate uncollectibles.
