The business can deduct $9.5 million in the current year.
Explanation:
Revenue = $92 million
Expenses allowed = 73 million ( $84 - $11 million for interest expense)
Adjusted taxable income before interest = $19 million
50% of adjusted taxable income = $9.5 million
Disallowed interest expense in the current year = $1.5 million

a. How much would you pay for a Treasury bill that matures in 182 days and pays $10,000 if you require a 1.8% discount rate?
b. If the Treasury also received $750 million in non-competitive bids, who will receive T-bills, in what quantity, and at what price?
Answer: $9909
Explanation:
Let the amount that will be paid be represented by y. The question can now be solved as:
(10000 - y)/10000 × 360/182 = 0.018
(10000-y)/10000 = 0.018 × 182/360
(10000 - y)/10000 = 0.0091
10000-y = 0.0091 × 10000
10000 - y = 91
y = 10000 - 91
y = $9909
Dean exchanges a business storage facility with a $120,000 adjusted basis for $40,000 cash and a parking lot with a $140,000 FMV. What is the amount of gain which Dean recognizes on the exchange
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
This transaction lacks commercial substance, therefore, Dean should only recognize the boot (cash received) as gain from this transaction. The adjusted basis for Dean's "new" parking lot is $120,000, the same adjusted basis as the business storage facility.
This happens because the boot was not more than 25% of the value of the total consideration received by Dean (cash + parking lot). If the boot is 25% or more, then the sale must be reported as a cash sale.
Suppose there are 100 million in the labor force, and 6 million unemployed people. During the next month, 200,000 people lose their jobs and 300,000 find jobs. The new total of employed persons is ________ and the new unemployment rate is ________.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the currently employed people and the unemployment rate:
Employed people= 100,000,000 - 6,000,000= 94,000,000
Unemployment rate= unemployed people / labor force
Unemployment rate= 6,000,000 / 100,000,000
Unemployment rate= 0.06= 6%
Now, the newly employed people and the unemployment rate:
Employed people= 94,000,000 + 300,000 - 200,000
Employed people= 94,100,000
Unemployment rate= 5,900,000 / 100,000,000
Unemployment rate= 0.059 = 5.9%

Gates entered into a contract with Mennonite Deaconess Home & Hospital for the installation of a new, "one-ply roofing system." The work was to be done by an installer chosen by Mennonite but approved by Gates. When the work was nearly complete, but before Gates had approved the work, the hospital paid the installer 90 percent of the balance due. After inspection, Gates did not approve, and in addition, the roof leaked and had to be replaced at the hospital’s expense. The hospital claimed that Gates was responsible for the quality of the work. Gates claimed that he could not be held accountable because service contracts are not covered by the Uniform Commercial Code. Did the contract involve goods or services, and will Gates be held responsible? [Mennonite Deaconess Home & Hospital Inc. v. Gates Engineering Co., 363 N.W.2d 155 (Nebraska)]
Answer:
The Supreme Court of Nebraska ruled that the core of the contract involved the sale of goods, since the Hospital was purchasing the one-ply roofing system. Even though labor was included, the contract was predominantly about a good, not a service. E.g. when you purchase a car, someone sells it to you, but the core of the contract is the sale of the car.
In other words, Gates was responsible for selling a roofing system (good) and he is responsible for any defects.
Delphi Company uses job-order costing. It applies overhead to jobs using a predetermined overhead rate based on machine-hours. At the beginning of the year, Delphi estimated that it would work 37,000 machine-hours and incur $222,000 in manufacturing overhead cost. The following transactions were recorded for the year: a. Raw materials were issued for use in production, $367,000 ($345,000 direct and $22,000 indirect). b. Employee costs were incurred: direct labor, $309,000; indirect labor, $44,000; and administrative salaries, $155,000. c. Factory depreciation, $175,000. d. Selling costs, $140,000. e. Manufacture overhead was applied to jobs. The actual machine hours for the year were 35,000 hours. a. Compute the total manufacturing overhead cost applied to jobs during the year.
Answer:
Allocated MOH= $210,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 222,000/37,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6 per machine hour
Now, we cal allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 6*35,000
Allocated MOH= $210,000

A state savings bond can be converted to $100 at maturity six years from purchase. If the state bonds pay 8% annual interest (compounded annually), at what price must the state sell its bonds
Answer:
The state must sell its bonds at the price of $63.02.
Explanation:
The at which the state must sell its bond can be calculated using the present value (PV) as follows:
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n ......................... (1)
Where;
PV = Present value or the price at which the state must sell its bond = ?
FV = Future value of the bond or the value the state savings bond can be converted to at maturity = $100
r = Annual interest rate = 8%, or 0.08
n = number of years = 6
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = $100 / (1 + 0.08)^6
PV = $100 / (1.08)^6
PV = $100 / 1.586874322944
PV = $63.02
Therefore, the state must sell its bonds at the price of $63.02.
Jake owns a company called Boat Builders, LLC and one evening he took several of his employees out after work to a bar. After eating and drinking for several hours Jake invited them back to the Boat Builders premises so he and some of the employees could show off a boat they’d been working on. After arriving at Boat Builders they all continued to drink and two of the employees, Tyler and Mark, got into an argument. When Tyler went to use the bathroom Mark attacked him from behind causing him to lose consciousness and break a tooth. Mark made light of it but gave Jake a menacing look so Jake dropped it and went to check on Tyler. Tyler sat up and asked what happened and Jake told him that Mark had attacked him from behind. About an hour passed by during which time Jake went out to his car and got his phone so he could play music for everyone. After an hour, Tyler and Mark began to argue again and they walked outside into the Boat Builders parking lot where Mark attacked Tyler again. Mark left and was later arrested for aggravated battery. Tyler regained consciousness after 10 minutes and drove home even though he was badly injured.
Does Tyler have a negligence claim against Boat Builders? Why or why not? A complete answer will be at least 5 sentences and mention critical facts.
Answer:
Yes, because Boat Builders, LLC failed to exercise a reasonable standard of care at their premises.
Explanation:
Remember, we are told, "Jake... invited them back to the Boat Builders premises," meaning they (Boat Bilders, LLC) had a duty of care responsibility toward all of his employees present.
Note we are told, "Mark made light of it but gave Jake a menacing look so Jake dropped it," this was a moment that shows Jake's negligence because as the owner of Boat Builders he had a duty of care to ensure no one is hurt without their own fault within their premises (which included their "parking lot").
Troy Blackford smashed a slot machine while he was gambling at Prairie Meadows Casino. He was banned form the premises. Despite the ban, he later gambled at the casino and won $9,387. When he tried to collect his winnings, the casino refused to pay. He filed a suit for breach of contract, arguing that he and the casino had a contract because he had accepted its offer to gamble. Is there a contract between the casino and Blackford? Discuss
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Technically when an individual enters into a casino and decides to play on of the games in the casino (such as the slot machines) they enter into an agreement with the casino stating that they agree to all losses and profits that may arise from using the machines. Unfortunately, being banned from the casino is also a form of contract which states that if the individual is prohibited from entering the casino or using any of its machines, and also nullifies any winnings gained from the casino's services (such as the slot machines). Therefore in this scenario, there is no contract between the casino and Blackford that supports his claim.

Project X Project Y Cost of equipment needed now $ 145,000 Working capital requirement - $ 145,000 Annual cash operating inflows $ 37,000 $ 32,000 Salvage value in 5 years $ 6,000 - Both projects will have a useful life of 5 years; at the end of 5 years, the working capital will be released for use elsewhere. Sawyer's discount rate is 9%. The net present value of project Y is closest to:
Answer: -$20,529.60
Explanation:
Net Present value of Y = Present Value of Inflows - Present value of Outflows
Present Value of Y inflows
$32,000 inflows for 5 years. This is therefore an annuity
Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor, 9%, 5 years
= 32,000 * 3.8897
= $124,470.40
Net Present Value = 124,470.40 - 145,000
= -$20,529.60
Imagine that to preserve the traditional way of life in small fishing villages, a government decides to impose a price floor that will guarantee all fishermen a certain price for their catch.
Using the demand and supply framework, predict the effects on the price, quantity demanded, and quantity supplied.
With the enactment of this price floor for fish, what are some of the likely unintended consequences in the market?
Suggest some policies other than the price floor to make it possible for small fishing villages to continue.
Answer:
As a result of the price floor, price would increase. As a result, quantity demanded will decrease and the quantity supplied would increase.
Supply would exceed demand and as a result there would be an excess supply of fish.
As an alternative to the price floor, the government can subsidise the cost of fishing. This would reduce the cost of producing fish
Explanation:
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the minimum price of a product. A price floor is binding if it is set above equilibrium price.
You paid $10,000 for an investment that promises to pay $750 at the end of each of the next 5 years, then an additional lump sum payment of $10,000 at the end of the 5th year. What is the expected rate of return on this investment? Discuss.
a. 12.39%.b. 15.23%.c. 12.91%.d. 11.49%.e. 10.46%.
Answer:
7.50%
Explanation:
The formula to solve this problem is stated below.
[tex]p=\frac{A(1-(1+r)^{-n} }{r} + \frac{F}{(1+r)^{n} }[/tex]
where p = price paid = $10,000
A = annual coupon payment = $750
n = tenor = 5 years
F = face value paid at maturity = $10,000
r, the unknown = rate of return.
Using extrapolation, the value of r that resolves the problem = 7.5%. The is expected since the price of the bond is the same as face value. As such, the rate of return was the same as [tex]\frac{A}{p}=\frac{750}{10,000}[/tex] = 7.5%.
[tex]10,000=\frac{750(1-(1.075)^{-5} }{0.075} + \frac{10,000}{(1.075)^{5} }[/tex].
You invest 1,000 in a project today. the project will generate a cash flow of 3186 three years from now. if the interest rate is 3%, what is the net present value of the project?
Answer:
NPV= $1,915.64
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $3,186
Number of periods= 3 years
Interest rate= 3%
Initial investment (Io)= $1,000
To calculate the net present value, we need to use the following formula:
NPV= -Io + ∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
NPV= -1,000 + (3,186/1.03^3)
NPV= $1,915.64
Neil and John both need $20,000 to clear off a mortgage payment after 10 years. Neil invests $15,000 at 3 percent per annum of simple interest for 10 years, and John invests $15,000 at 3 percent compound interest compounded annually for 10 years. Who would be able to repay the amount from this investment easily?
Answer:
John
Explanation:
Neil will have the following amount after ten years.
Simple interest is calculated using the formula,
I= p x r x t
where I= interest, P= principal amount, r = interest rate, t is time
for Neil interest will be= $15,000 x 3/100 x 10
=$15,000 x 0.03 x 10
=$4500
Neil will have principal + interest amount
=$4,500 + $15,000
=$19,500
John invested in a compound interest account.
The amount after ten years will be
The formula for compound interest is
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
where FV = Future Value
PV = Present Value
r = annual interest rate
n = number of periods
After ten years, John will have
Fv= $15,000 x (1 + 3/100)^10
Fv= $15,000 x (1.03)^10
FV =$15,000 x 1.34391
Fv = $15,158.75
John will be able to clear his mortgage.
John will be able to repay the amount from this investment easier than Neil.
Because Neil has invested in simple interest, his amount at the end of 10 years will be equal to the interest earned and the principal amount.
According to the problem:
P (principal) = $15,000, I = 3%=0.03 and t =10 years
Therefore, I = P x r x t = 15,000 x 0.03 x 10 = $4,500
The amount at the end of 10 years
= principal + interest
= 15,000 + 4,500
= $19,500
On the other hand, John has invested his $15,000 in 3 percent compound interest compounded annually for 10 years.
According to the problem: P
= $15,000
I
= 3% = 0.03
n
= 10
Therefore, according to the formula
M = P( 1 + i )n where M is the final amount at the end of the term, we have
M = 15,000(1+0.03)10
= 20,158.75 (approximately).
= $20,158.75
Therefore, John will be able to repay the debt from this investment easily, because Neil is $500 short of the required amount.

Pauley Company needs to determine a markup for a new product. Pauley expects to sell 22,000 units and wants a target profit of $16 per unit. Additional information is as follows: Variable product cost per unit $ 18 Variable administrative cost per unit 13 Total fixed overhead 20,500 Total fixed administrative 36,700 Using the variable cost method, what markup percentage to variable cost should be used
Answer:
variable markup % = 60%
Explanation:
total units sold 22,000
total costs associated with selling the 22,000 units:
variable production costs $18 x 22,000 = $396,000
variable S&A costs $13 x 22,000 = $286,000
fixed overhead = $20,500
fixed S&A = $36,700
total costs = $739,200
total cost per unit = $33.60
selling price = $33.60 + $16 = $49.60
markup percentage = [(sales price - unit cost) / unit cost] x 100
the total markup % = [49.60 - 33.60) / 33.60] x 100 = 47.62%
but since we are going to calculate the markup percentage solely based on variable costs, then:
variable cost per unit = $31
selling price = $49.60
the variable markup % = [49.60 - 31) / 31] x 100 = 60%
Rufus Inc. and Hardy Company are negotiating a nontaxable exchange of business properties. Rufus’s property has a $50,000 tax basis and a $77,500 FMV. Hardy’s property has a $60,000 tax basis and a $90,000 FMV. Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work? How much boot must be paid? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired? Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?
Answer:
Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?
Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.How much boot must be paid?
$90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?
Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?
Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.A 5.5 percent coupon bond has a face value of $1,000 and a current yield of 5.64 percent. What is the current market price?

Answer:
a. Consumption schedule
The variable on the vertical (y) axis is Consumption and the variable on the horizontal (x) axis is disposable income .
These variables are directly related.
On the Consumption schedule, the variables on the y axis are the different levels of consumption whilst the variables on the x are amounts of disposable income.
Consumption and disposable income are directly related because when the amount of disposable income increases, the amount that consumers can spend will increase as well as it comes from the disposable income that a consumer has.
b. Saving schedule

These variables are directly related.
On the Saving schedule the x axis which is for the independent variable is the Disposable income whilst the dependent variable on the y axis is for Savings.
Savings and Disposable income are directly relate because when a person has more money after taxes (disposable income), they will be able to save more money.
