Hannah, age 70 and single, is claimed as a dependent by her daughter. During 2020, Hannah had interest income of $2,550 and $850 of earned income from babysitting. Hannah's taxable income is:
Answer: $550
Explanation:
Standard deduction is the greater of $1,050 or the sum of the earned income and $350.
= Earned income + 350 = $1,200
Additional deduction for single seniors in 2020 is $1,650.
Total deduction is:
= 1,200 + 1,650
= $2,850
Hannah's taxable income is:
= 2,550 + 850 - 2,850
= $550
What will most likely occur if a company eliminates an unprofitable segment when a portion of fixed costs are unavoidable?
a. All expenses of the eliminated segment will be eliminated.
b. Net income will decrease.
c. Net income will increase.
d. The company's variable costs will increase.
Answer: b. Net income will decrease.
Explanation:
The unavoidable fixed costs were being covered by the unprofitable segment so if the segment is removed, the unavoidable fixed cost will have to be deducted from the profits of the other segment/s.
When this happens their profit will decrease because those segments will now be covering more fixed costs than before. This is why it is usually better to keep an unprofitable segment going if it incurs unavoidable fixed costs.
A local bank sponsors a charity run that raises funds for a non-profit building wells and schools in Mali, Africa. How would the use of the bank’s funds for this fundraiser be justified when its goal is to maximize profit?
Answer:
The use of the bank's funds for this fundraiser would be justified when the bank's goal is to maximize profit by:
giving the bank public relations boost, thereby improving its public image.
Explanation:
The creation of publicity opportunities through this fundraiser enhances the bank's activities. Awareness of its services is created through the sponsorship. People perceive the bank as a charity-supporting organization, which cares for the welfare of the less-privileged. The fundraiser creates huge goodwill. Public relation is, therefore, critical in helping the bank to engage its diverse publics across various platforms, including the accruing intangible benefits that derivable from the seemingly unprofitable effort.
MC Qu. 135 Front Company had net income of... Front Company had net income of $86,500 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 2,200 units and 4,000 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $8.60 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
Explanation:
Below is the following calculation:
Net income based on variable costing = $86500
Rise in inventory = (4000 - 2200) x 8.60 = $15480
Now find the net income under absorption costing by adding the rise in inventory in the net income based on variable costing.
Net income under absorption costing = $86500 + $15480
Net income under absorption costing = $101980
The burden of a tax is shared by producers and consumers. Under what conditions will consumers pay most of the tax? Under what conditions will producers pay most of it? A. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically producers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. B. If demand is relatively more elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax. C. It depends on who is legally obligated to pay the tax. Typically consumers are required to pay the tax and therefore bear most of the burden. D. If demand is relatively less elastic than supply, producers will pay more of the tax.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
If demand is more elastic than supply, if price is increased as a result of tax, demand would fall more than supply. As a result, producers would bear more tax burden

Explanation:
The section of the demand curve from A to B represents the a. inelastic section of the demand curve. b. unit elastic section of the demand curve. c. perfectly elastic section of the demand curve. d. elastic section of the demand curve. g
Answer: d. elastic section of the demand curve.
Explanation:
When using a linear demand curve, it has been found that the top half of the curve represents the elastic section which is where the section A to B cover so this is the elastic section.
The mid point which is B here is the unitary elastic portion of the curve and the bottom half of point B to C is the inelastic section.
In the elastic section, increasing the price by a certain percentage would cause the quantity demanded to fall by a higher percentage than the percentage increase in price.
If the exchange rate for Canadian and U.S. dollars is 0.92777 to 1, this implies that 13 Canadian dollars will buy ____ worth of U.S. dollars. (Select the nearest answer.)
Answer:
U.S. dollars = 14.012 U.S. dollars
Explanation:
Below is the exchange rate:
0.92777 Canadian dollars = 1 U.S dollars
Thus to find the amount of U.S. dollars bought from the 13 Canadian dollars, just divide the 13 Canadian dollars from 0.92777. Therefore the resulting answer will be the U.S. dollars.

Equivalent Units of Materials Cost The Filling Department of Eve Cosmetics Company had 4,500 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (90% complete). During the period, 74,900 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,700 ounces (40% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials if materials are added at the beginning of the process? fill in the blank 1 units
Answer: 74,100 units
Explanation:
If the materials are added at the beginning of the process then the opening work in process inventory would need to be deducted from the completed inventory for the period. Also there would be no need to multiply the units by their completion level because they are assumed to be at 100% completion because materials were added at the very beginning.
Total equivalent units for direct materials is:
= (Completed units - Opening inventory) + Closing work in process
= (74,900 - 4,500) + 3,700
= 74,100 units

Assume Sheryl Jenkins wants to accumulate $ 13,241.39 in two years. She currently has $ 10,621.36 to invest. What interest rate must she earn on her investment (that is, if she deposits $ 10,621.36 today) to have $ 13,241.39 exactly two years from today?
Answer: 11.65%
Explanation:
The $13,241.39 is a future value amount as it is what is to be accumulated in 2 years.
Future value formula therefore applies:
Future value = Current value * ( 1 + interest rate) ^ no. of years
13,241.39 = 10,621.36 * ( 1 + i) ²
(1 + i)² = 13,241.39 / 10,621.36
(1 + i)² = 1.24667556697
1 + i = √1.24667556697
i = 1.116546267 - 1
i = 11.65%

Your home insurance provides for replacement value for personal property losses. A microwave is stolen. It cost $258 two years ago and has an expected life of six years. A comparable microwave costs $366 today. What amount will the insurance company pay
Answer: $366
Explanation:
Replacement Cost Coverage refers to the valuation methods for the establishment of the value of an insured property which is used in knowing the amount that an insurer will

In the United States, if the price of imported oil rises so that the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, then the a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator. b. consumer price index rises slightly more than does the GDP deflator. c. GDP deflator rises much more than does the consumer price index. d. GDP deflator and the consumer price index rise by about the same amount.
Answer: a. consumer price index rises much more than does the GDP deflator.
Explanation:
The Consumer Price Index is a measure of inflation. It shows the change in the prices of a basket of goods over a period of time. If the prices of gasoline and heating oil rise, this basket will be affected and so Consumer Price Index (CPI) will increase.
GDP deflator on the other hand, adjusts the nominal GDP to a Real GDP measure. Not everything will increase in price in the country as a result of oil going up so GDP will not change by much which would limit the increase in the GDP deflator.
The CPI will therefore rise more than the GDP deflator.
Synovec Company is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 30 percent for the next three years, with the growth rate falling off to a constant 4 percent thereafter. If the required return is 10 percent, and the company just paid a dividend of $2.65, what is the current share price
Answer:
$87.03
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the current share price
First step is to calculate p1
p1= $2.65(1+.30)^3(1+.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1= $2.65(1.30)^3(1.04) / (.10 - .04)
p1=6.054932/.06
p1=100.92
Now let calculate the Current price
p0= [$2.65(1.30) / 1.10] +[$2.65(1.30)^2 / 1.10^2] + [$2.65(1.30)^3 / 1.10^3] + [$100.92/ 1.10^3]
p0=3.1318+4.4782/1.21+5.82205/1.331+$100.92/1.331+
p0=3.1318+3.700992+4.37419+75.82
p0=$87.03
Therefore the current share price is $87.03
