Quanti Co., a calendar year taxpayer, purchased small tools for $5,000 on December 21, 2016, representing the company's only purchase of tangible personal property that took place during 2016. On its 2016 tax return, how many months of MACRS depreciation may Quanti Co. claim on the tools (assuming they do not qualify for immediate expensing/bonus depreciation)?
Answer:
1 and a half months worth of depreciation
Explanation:
The advantage of starting to depreciate an asset purchased on December is that next year you will be able to depreciate it for a full year under MACRS. Generally, when you purchase an asset, you have to use the half year convention and your depreciation expense for the first year will be low compared to the second year. But if you start depreciating your asset in the current year, even if you purchased it on December and the depreciation expense is not that significant, the next year you will be able to depreciate it at the second year rate.

Given the following information, determine the markup per unit. Direct materials $76,000 Direct labor $130,000 Factory overhead $56,500 Selling and administrative expenses $43,000 Estimated units to be produced and sold 15,000 Total assets $200,000 Desired rate of return 10% Normal selling price per unit $21. 70 a.$21.70 b.$4.89 c.$4.20 d.$17.50
Answer:
c.$4.20
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the markup per unit.
First step is to find the Total product costs.
Total product cost will be :
Direct materials $76,000 +Direct labor 130,000 +Factory overhead 56,500
= Total product costs $262,500
Second step is to find the Total cost per unit
Using this formula
Total cost per unit=Total product costs/Estimated units to be produced and sold
Let plug in the formula
Total cost per unit= ($262,500 ÷ 15,000 units) Total product costs=$17.50
The Third step is to find the Desired profit
Using this formula
Desired profit=Total assets ×Desired rate of return
Let plug in the formula
Desired profit= ($200,000 × 10%)
Desired profit=$20,000
The fourth step is to find the markup percentage
Using this formula
Markup percentage =[(Desired profit+Selling and administrative expenses)/Total product costs ]
Let plug in the formula
Markup percentage = [($20,000 + $43,000) ÷ $262,500]
Markup percentage=$63,000/$262,500
Markup percentage=24%
The last step is to find the Markup per unit
Using this formula
Markup per unit =Total product costs/Markup percentage
Let plug in the formula
Markup per unit=($17.50 × 24%)
Markup per unit= $4.20
Therefore the Markup per unit will be $4.20
It will cost $7,000 to acquire an ice cream cart. Cart sales are expected to be $3,600 a year for three years. After the three years, the cart is expected to be worthless as the expected life of the refrigeration unit is only three years. What is the payback period
Answer:
It will take 2 years and 344 days to cover for the initial investment.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $7,000
Cash flow year 1 trough 3= $3,600
The payback period is the time required to cover for the initial investment:
Year 1= 3,600 - 7,000= -3,400
Year 2= 3,600 - 3,400= 200
To be more accurate:
(3,400/3,600)*365= 344
It will take 2 years and 344 days to cover for the initial investment.

Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Assembly Department completes 10,200 gadgets and transfers them to Finished Goods Inventory.
The Assembly Department has 2,600 gadgets in the process that are 65% complete for conversion.
To calculate the equivalent units, we need to multiply the % complete for the number of units started:
Units completed= 10,200
Units in ending inventory= 2,600*0.65= 1,690
Total equivalent units= 11,890
Several reasons were provided for why many professional sports teams are struggling to sell the naming rights to their venues. What is the central reason that teams like the Washington Nationals have not yet been able to find a naming rights partner

Multiple Choice Question Milky Company reports sales revenue of $200, an increase in deferred revenue of $2, and an increase in accounts receivable of $1. Using a journal entry to determine cash collected from customers, accounts receivable should be ____ and deferred revenue ___.
Answer: b. debited; credited
Explanation:
Deferred revenue has been paid to the company but the company does not recognize it as revenue yet because the goods or services it was paid for have not been delivered yet. It will therefore be classified as a liability until the goods or services are delivered. It will therefore be credited because increases in liabilities are credited.
Accounts Receivable is an asset account and as such any increase in it will be debited.
In 20X4, X Company purchased land for a new office building at a purchase price of $325,000. There was an existing building on the site that was demolished at a cost of $12,000. Scrap from the demolition was sold for $3,500. The building was completed during 20X4. In addition:
Answer:
$359,000 and $1,323,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported for land and building is shown below:
For land
= Purchase price + attorneys + demolishing cost - scrap value + engineering fees
= $325,000 + $7,500 + $12,000 - $3,500 + $18,000
= $359,000
For buidling
= Architect fees + building permits + construction cost
= $40,000 + $8,000 + $1,275,000

Answer:
Deferred Revenue
Explanation:
The public radio station has a year ending of June 30 and collects these dues on an annual basis therefore the dues received in January 1 are not yet earned. Under accrual accounting, and applying the revenue recognition principle, revenue which is received in this way has not yet been earned since these dues are collected/recorded annually but are billed before(january 1)the year end,and therefore are charged as liability until they are earned at year end then they are converted to revenue
As part of her annual review of her company's budgets versus actuals, Mary Gerard isolates unfavorable variances with the hope of getting a better understanding of what caused them and how to avoid them next year. The variable overhead efficiency variance was the most unfavorable over the previous year, which Gerard will specifically be able to trace to:
Options:
a. Actual overhead costs below applied overhead costs
b. Actual production units below budgeted production unit
c. Standard direct labor hours below actual direct labor hours
d. The standard variable overhead rate below the actual variable overhead rate
Answer: c. Standard direct labor hours below actual direct labor hours
Explanation: The variable overhead efficiency variance can obtained by multiplying the difference between the actual and Budgeted labour hours by the hourly rate for standard variable overhead. In this case, the outcome may be favorable or unfavorable. The variable overhead efficiency variance will be favorable if the actual labor hours is less than the budgeted hours while it will be unfavorable if the actual labor hours exceed the budgeted labor hours as described in the scenario above.

Answer:
NPV = $1,564.65
Explanation:
Here is the full question :
Hawkins Poultry Farms is considering the purchase of feeding equipment that costs $139,000 and will produce annual cash flows of approximately $36,000 for five years. The equipment is expected to be sold at the end of five years for $40,000.
What is the net present value of the proposed investment? Hawkins requires a 15 percent return on all capital investments
Net present value is the present value of after tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.
NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 0 = $-139,000
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = $36,000
Cash flow in year 5 = $36,000 + $40,000 = $76,000.
i = 15%
NPV = $1,564.65
To find the NPV 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 NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
