Over the past decade, many American candy companies have opened factories in Mexico and Canada to produce candy. The companies, including Hershey Company, Brach's Confections, and Ferrara Pan, then ship candy back to the United States for sale. Although lower wages in Mexico might explain part of this move, wages in Canada are comparable to U.S. wages. Price floors (price supports) for the sugar industry encouraged American candy companies to move production out of the United States. Describe how the enactment of a sugar price floor impacted the market for candy in the United States, resulting in the movement of manufacturing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sugar industry in the US is very powerful and has been able to establish trade barriers and import quotas that affect domestic prices. Sugar prices in the US are extremely high compared to prices in any other country, including Canada, Mexico, China, European nation, i.e. American sugar is the most expensive in the world.

Besides imposing trade barriers, the government also imposes a binding price floor. Binding price floors always result in deadweight losses since the quantity demanded is lower than equilibrium. This is why American candy manufacturers move their production overseas. the highest cost in the candy industry is actually sugar, and wherever they decide to relocate their factories it will always be cheaper.

At the beginning of the year, Cann Co. started construction on a new $2 million addition to its plant. Total construction expenditures made during the year were $200,000 on January 2, $600,000 on May 1, and $300,000 on December 1. On January 2, the company borrowed $500,000 for the construction at 12%. The only other outstanding debt the company had was a 10% interest rate, long-term mortgage of $800,000, which had been outstanding the entire year. What amount of interest should Cann capitalize as part of the cost of the plant addition

Answers

Answer:

$72,500

Explanation:

The computation of the amount of interest capitalized is as follows:

= ($500,000 × 12%) + ($625,000 - $500,000) × 10%

= $60,000 + $12,500

= $72,500

The Average expenditure for the year  is

= ($200,000 × 12 ÷ 12) +  ($600,000 × 8 ÷ 12)  + ($300,000 × 1 ÷ 12)

= $200,000  + $400,000  + $25,000

= $625,000

a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate. c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

Answers

Answer:

a) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $111,111 received every year. The first cash flow occurs in year 1. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $111,111 / 11% = $1,010,100

b) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $222,222 received every second year. The first cash flow occurs in year 2. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $222,222 / (11% x 2) = $1,010,100

c) Calculate the PV of a perpetuity with a cash flow of $333,333 received every third year. The first cash flow occurs in year 3. The interest rate is 11% simple annual rate.

PV of a perpetuity = annual payment / interest rate = $333,333 / (11% x 3) = $1,010,100

Explanation:

Since the interest rate is simple, not compounded, the three perpetuities have the same present value.

On January 1, 2020, Marigold Corp. purchased a machine costing $355000. The machine is in the MACRS 5-year recovery class for tax purposes and has an estimated $74000 salvage value at the end of its economic life. It's based on half year convention. Assuming the company uses the general MACRS approach, the amount of MACRS deduction for tax purposes for the year 2020 is

Answers

Answer:

$71,000

Explanation:

Note: The MARCS Table is attached below

Depreciation for 2020 = Cost*Rate%

Depreciation for 2020 = $355000*20%

Depreciation for 2020 = $71,000.

Note: MACRS depreciation disregards the salvage value and depreciates the asset to zero over the life of the asset.

Benjamin and Amelia Hopkins have been married since 2016.
Benjamin is a U.S. citizen with a valid Social Security number. Amelia is a resident alien with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). They elect to file Married Filing Jointly.
Benjamin worked in 2020 and earned wages of $25,000. Amelia worked part-time and earned wages of $15,000.
They have two children: Harper, who is 9 years old, and Evelyn, who is 12 years old.
Both children were supported by their parents all year. Harper is a U.S. citizen and has a valid Social Security number. Evelyn is a resident alien and has an ITIN.
Benjamin, Amelia, Harper, and Evelyn lived together in the U.S. all year 7. Evelyn is a qualifying child for the child tax credit.
1. Which credit(s) can the Hopkins claim on their 2020 tax return?
a. Child tax credit for Harper
b. Credit for other dependents for Evelyn
c. Both a and b
d. Neither a norb
2. Are the Hopkins eligible to claim the earned income credit?
a. Yes, because Benjamin has a Social Security number.
b. Yes, because everyone has a taxpayer identification number.
c. No, because their income is too high.
d. No, because Amelia has an ITIN.

Answers

Answer:

1. c. Both a and b

2. a. Yes, because Benjamin has a Social Security number.

Explanation:

According to tax laws, you can claim a child tax credit for an American dependant below the age of 17 which qualifies Harper for it. Evelyn however qualifies for a Credit for other dependents as she is a resident alien and has an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN).

Because Benjamin has a Social Security Number, the Hopkins are indeed eligible to claim an earned income credit. Married couples filling jointly can claim the credit if either of them are U.S. citizens with a valid Social Security number.

f.       $0                   $2,500

g.      $0                  $5,000

Explanation:

a) Data:

Investor's tax bracket = 33% (same as the short-term capital gains taxes)

Long-term capital gains taxes = 15%

b) Events and Calculations:

a) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital gains of $4,000

Short-term tax = $990 ($3,000*33%)

Long-term tax = $600 ($4,000*15%)

Total taxes =    $1,590

b) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $4,000

Long-term capital losses = $4,000

Short-term capital gains =   (3,000)

Savings =                             $1,000

c) Net short-term capital losses of $3,000; net long-term capital gains of $4,000

Long-term capital gains = $4,000

Short-term capital losses  (3,000)

Long-term capital gains taxes = $150 ($1,000 * 15%)

d) Net short-term capital gains of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $2,000

Short-term capital gains = $3,000

Long-term capital losses   (2,000)

Savings =                            $1,000

e) Net short-term capital losses of $4,000; net long-term capital gains of $3,000

Short-term capital losses = $4,000

Long-term capital gains       (3,000)

Savings                                $1,000

f) Net short-term capital losses of $1,000; net long-term capital losses of $1,500

Short-term capital losses = $1,000

Long-term capital losses      1,500

Savings =                            $2,500

g) Net short-term capital losses of $3,000; net long-term capital losses of $2,000

Short-term capital losses = $3,000

Savings =                            $5,000

The Tinsley Company exchanged land that it had been holding for future plant expansion for a more suitable parcel located farther from residential areas. Tinsley carried the land at its original cost of $62,500. According to an independent appraisal, the land currently is worth $150,000. Tinsley paid $25,000 in cash to complete the transaction. Required: 1. What is the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance

Answers

Answer:

$175,000

Explanation:

When an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the accounting standard IAS 16 requires that the cost price of the item acquired be at fair Value of the asset given up.

Fair Value of Asset given up is $150,000.

However Tinsley has also paid a trade -in allowance for the new parcel of land of $25,000.

Therefore, the fair value of the new parcel of land received by Tinsley assuming the exchange has commercial substance is $175,000 ($150,000 + $25,000)

how to journalize this?

Answers

When a business transaction requires a journal entry, we must follow these rules:

The entry must have at least 2 accounts with 1 DEBIT amount and at least 1 CREDIT amount.

The DEBITS are listed first and then the CREDITS.

The DEBIT amounts will always equal the CREDIT amounts.

For another example, let’s look at the transaction analysis we did in the previous chapter for Metro Courier (click Transaction analysis):

1. The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation. We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT. The journal entry would look like this:

2. Purchased $5,500 of equipment with cash. We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Equipment and decreasing the asset Cash. To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit. This journal entry would be:

Answer:

All the journal entries illustrated so far have involved one debit and one credit; these journal entries are called simple journal entries. Many business transactions, however, affect more than two accounts. The journal entry for these transactions involves more than one debit and/or credit. Such journal entries are called compound journal entries.

Explanation:

1.  The owner invested $30,000 cash in the corporation.  We analyzed this transaction by increasing both cash (an asset) and common stock (an equity) for $30,000. We learned you increase an asset with a DEBIT and increase an equity with a CREDIT

4.  Purchased $500 in supplies on account.  We analyzed this transaction as increasing the asset Supplies and the liability Accounts Payable.  To increase an asset, we debit and to increase a liability, use credit.

5.  Paid $300 for supplies previously purchased.  Since we previously purchased the supplies and are not buying any new ones, we analyzed this to decrease the liability accounts payable and the asset cash.  To decrease a liability, use debit and to decrease and asset, use debit.

6.  Paid February and March Rent in advance for $1,800.  When we pay for an expense in advance, it is an asset.  We want to increase the asset Prepaid Rent and decrease Cash.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

8.  Performed work for customers and billed them $10,000.  We analyzed this transaction to increase the asset accounts receivable (since we have not gotten paid but will receive it later) and increase revenue.  To increase an asset, use debit and to increase a revenue, use credit.

9.  Received $5,000 from customers from work previously billed.  We analyzed this transaction to increase cash since we are receiving cash and we want to decrease accounts receivable since we are receiving money from customers who we billed previously and not new work we are doing.  To increase an asset, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

10 Paid office salaries $900.  We analyzed this transaction to increase salaries expense and decrease cash since we paid cash.  To increase an expense, we debit and to decrease an asset, use credit.

The demand and supply of products, goods and services is heavily dependent on several factors ranging from economic, health and social factors. Disease and viral outbreaks have devastating effects on the market forces of demand and supply which in most cases will impact the market negatively with characteristically high prices and scarcity of products. The mouth and hoof outbreak in Europe was one which impacted the economy including farmers, leather and hides workers and all whose businesses and sustainability depends on cattles and its products. Due to the contagious nature of the disease and the ease at which it could spread if curtailment isn't effected on time, millions of cattles were slaughtered on sighting the symptoms and it's products including skins are burnt leading to losses in billions on the path of cattle rearers, shortage of lather, hides and skins, restriction in international product trade in other to avoid its spread to other parts of the world. These resulted in low supply and high demand of cattles and its products including leather goods meaning High prices for little available.

As a result of this sale, Sunland should recognize a gain of

Answers

Answer:

$54,820

Explanation:

The computation of the gain is shown below;

But before that following calculations must be done

Annual depreciation as per the straight-line method

= ($690,000 - $40,200) ÷ (10 years)

= $64,980

Now accumulated depreciation for 9 years is

= $64,980 × 9 years

= $584,820

Now the book value is

= $690,000 - $584,820

= $105,180

Now the gain is

= Sale value - book value

= $160,000 - $105,180

= $54,820

Group of answer choices $57,360 $57,059 $64,160 $64,160

Answers

Answer:

Total profit for week = $57360

Explanation:

To calculate the profit for one-week period, we first need to calculate the revenue for one week period based on the given occupancy.

We will first calculate the revenue for every day and add it to calculate the revenue for the week.

Sunday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Monday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Tuesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Wednesday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Thursday = 60 * 80  +  90 * 64  +  50 * 48  => $12960

Friday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Saturday = 50 * 48  +  130 * 56  => $9680

Total revenue for one week = 12960 * 5 + 9680 * 2  => $84160

To calculate the profit, we will first calculate the total cost.

Total cost = 20000 + (5 * 200 * 5 + 5 * 180 * 2)

Total cost = $26800

Total profit for week = 84160 - 26800

Total profit for week = $57360
