Ginger is a United States citizen who paid the following foreign income taxes: $10,000 tax paid to England on consulting fee income $5,000 tax paid to Spain on earned income for which she claims the foreign earned income exclusion $1,000 tax paid to France for which she claims the foreign housing exclusion These were Ginger's only sources of income during the year. Her U.S. tax liability was $23,000. What amount of foreign tax credit can she claim on her return
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Ginger has to choose between claiming a tax credit of a deduction for income taxes paid to foreign countries. She has already claimed a $5,000 foreign income exclusion (for taxes paid in Spain), and she has already made the deduction for the $1,000 paid in taxes to France. She can also claim a deduction for the $10,000 paid in taxes to England.
Since she already claimed tax deductions, she can no longer claim a tax credit, it is either one or the other.
"An individual who is 25 years from retirement has $500,000 to invest today. He is risk tolerant and is looking to withdraw $80,000 per year once he retires. Which asset allocation is BEST for this client?"
The available options are:
A. 25% Stocks / 25% Bonds / 25% REITs / 25% Money Markets
B. 50% Stocks / 40% Bonds/ 10% Cash
C. 100% Bonds
D. 100% Stocks
Answer:
B. 50% Stocks / 40% Bonds/ 10% Cash
Explanation:
Since the age of the customer is not given in the question, however, given he or she is 25 years from retirement, it is logical to assume that the customer is about 40-50 years old in age. According to the rule of thumb that "100% minus the customer's age" should be allocated to stocks for growth, hence, a stock allocation of 40-50% is about right.
Hence, in this case, the right answer is Option B: 50% Stocks / 40% Bonds/ 10% Cash

Explanation:
Company had 200 units of inventory on hand at the end of the year. These were recorded at a cost of $12 each using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The current replacement cost is $10 per unit. The selling price charged by Sandra Company for each finished product is $15. In order to record the adjusting entry needed under the lower-of-cost-or-market rule, the Cost of Goods Sold will be:
Answer:
Debited by $400
Explanation:
Calculation for the Cost of Goods Sold
Using this formula
Cost of Goods Sold= Inventory on hand*(Cost-Current replacement cost)
Let plug in the formula
Cost of Goods Sold=200 units * ($12 - $10)
Cost of Goods Sold= 200 units*2
Cost of Goods Sold = $400 Debited
Therefore the Cost of Goods Sold will be:$400 Debited
A fishery with populations well below historic levels that has reduced reproductive capacity is called ___________.
The following information is for the standard and actual costs for the Happy Corporation:
Enter favorable variances as negative numbers.
Standard Costs:
Budgeted units of production - 16,000 [80% (or normal) capacity]
Standard labor hours per unit - 4
Standard labor rate - $26 per hour
Standard material per unit - 8 lbs.
Standard material cost - $12 per pound
Standard variable overhead rate - $15 per labor hour
Budgeted fixed overhead - $640,000
Fixed overhead rate is based on budgeted labor hours at 80% (or normal) capacity.
Actual Cost:
Actual production - 16,500 units
Actual fixed overhead - $640,000
Actual variable overhead - $1,000,000
Actual labor - 65,000 hours, total labor costs $1,700,000
Actual material purchased and used - 130,000 lbs, total material cost $1,600,000
Actual variable overhead - $1,000,000
Determine the Quantity Variance
a. 24,000 unfavorable
b. 24,000 favorable
c. 12,000 unfavorable
d. 12,000 favorable
Answer:
a. 24,000 unfavorable
Explanation:
Quantity Variance = Standard Price ( Actual Quantity - Standard Quantity Allowed)
= $12 per pound (8 lbs.*16,500 lbs-8 lbs.*16,000)
= $ 12 (132,000 lbs-130,000 lbs) = $ 12 (2000)= 24,000 unfavorable
It is unfavorable because the actual quantity used is more than the standard quantity allowed.
Quantity variance is obtained by multiplying the standard price with the difference in the actual quantity used and the standard quantity allowed.
All the following requirements must be satisfied before premiums are waived under a waiver-of-premium provision EXCEPT: Group of answer choices The insured must satisfy the definition of disability in the policy. The insured must furnish proof of disability to the insurer. The insured must satisfy a 2-year waiting period. The insured must be disabled before some predetermined age, such as age 60 or 65.
Answer:
The insured must satisfy a 2-year waiting period.
Explanation:
A premium rider waiver refers to a condition of an insurance policy that relinquishes premium fees if the insurer is severely ill, severely injured, or in the case of disability and cannot pay premiums. Other provisions may exist, such as meeting particular criteria regarding age and health. Most premium riders waiver includes a waiting period during which no demand for compensation can be made. If the policyholder is injured or harmed during this period, he or she can seek a complete refund of the paid premiums. However, the compulsion of the two-year waiting period is off the table.

Let $S$ be the set of complex numbers of the form $a + bi,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers. We say that $z \in S$ is a unit if there exists a $w \in S$ such that $zw = 1.$ Find the number of units in $S.$
Answer:
Number of units possible in S are 4.
Explanation:
Given S is a set of complex number of the form [tex]a+bi[/tex] where a and b are integers.
[tex]z\in S[/tex] is a unit if [tex]w\in z[/tex] exists such that [tex]zw=1[/tex].
To find:
Number of units possible = ?
Solution:
Given that:
[tex]zw = 1[/tex]
Taking modulus both sides:
[tex]|zw| = |1|[/tex]
Using the property that modulus of product of two complex numbers is equal to their individual modulus multiplied.
i.e.
[tex]|z_1z_2|=|z_1|.|z_2|[/tex]
So,
[tex]|zw| = |1|\\\Rightarrow |zw| =|z|.|w| =1\\\Rightarrow |z|=\dfrac{1}{|w|}[/tex]......... (1)
Let [tex]z=a+bi[/tex]
Then modulus of z is [tex]|z| = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}[/tex]
Given that a and b are integers, so the equation (1) can be true only when [tex]|z| = |w| =1[/tex] (Reciprocal of 1 is 1). Modulus can be equal only when one of the following is satisfied:
(a = 1, b = 0) , (a = -1, b = 0), (a = 0, b = 1) OR (a = 0, b = -1)
So, the possible complex numbers can be:
[tex]1.\ 1 + 0i = 1\\2.\ -1 + 0i = -1\\3.\ 0+ 1i = i\\4.\ 0 -1i = -i[/tex]
Hence, number of units possible in S are 4.

1. What is the break-even point for this establishment? 2. If the restaurant wanted to make a profit of $70,000 based on these numbers, how much would have to be sold? 3. If sales rose to $700,000, what would profit increase to?
Answer:
I wasn't able to access the full question, but I am writing down all the formulas that would be used to solve the questions.
Explanation:
Requirement 1.
The Breakeven Point would be calculated using the following formula:
Breakeven Point = Fixed Cost / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Requirement 2.
The target profit will require the company to achieve certain number of units to be sold. The level of units can be calculated using the following formula:
Units Sold For Desired Profit (Units) = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Requirement 3.
If we multiply selling price on the both sides of requirement 2 formula then we have following formula:
Sales ($) = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) * Selling Price / (Selling Price per Unit - Variable Cost per Unit)
Now we can calculate the Target profit which will only be the variable unknown.

Changes in nominal variables are determined mostly by the quantity of money and the monetary system according to Group of answer choices both the classical dichotomy and the quantity theory of money. the classical dichotomy, but not the quantity theory of money. the quantity theory of money, but not the classical dichotomy. neither the classical dichotomy nor the quantity theory of money.
Answer:
both the classical dichotomy and the quantity theory of money.
Explanation:
Changes in nominal variables are determined mostly by the quantity of money and the monetary system according to both the classical dichotomy and the quantity theory of money.
The classical dichotomy is a very essential part of the quantity theory and it states that both the real and nominal sides of the economy are largely separate. A Real Gross Domestic Products which is largely a real economic variable is measured and determined by real forces.
Also, the quantity theory of money is basically a measure of the demand for money in an economy at a specific period of time. It states that the price of various goods and services is directly proportional to the money supply available in an economy at a given time.
