Answer:
There are no options listed, but what I can tell you for sure is that John's actions were both unethical and illegal.
What John did is unethical because it is not moral and it goes against all the principles that guide professional conduct. John also did something illegal because he was an accomplice in committing fraud against the company. He knowingly benefited from the accountant's illegal actions, and that is basically the legal definition of an accomplice to a crime.

charitable donations, and $2,126 from property taxes. What is Wendy's total deduction?
a $5,700
b. $15,104
C. $18,284
d. $14,888
Answer:
d. $14,888
Explanation:
Wendy's total deductions will be the sum of $5,522, $7,240, and $2,126.
Total deductions will be $5,522 + $7,240 + $2,126 =$14,888
The total deduction on Wendy's tax will be $14,888.
What is tax deduction?The tax deduction refers to the amount that will be exempted from total tax payable.
Given deductible amount
Medical expenses = $5,522
Charitable donations = $7,240
Property taxes =$2,126
Wendy's total deduction = $5,522 + $7,240 + $2,126
Wendy's total deduction = $14,888

The 16 overhead doors on your loading dock must be replaced now. The deluxe model costs $2,200 each and will last for six years. The standard model costs $1,600 each and will last for four years. The deluxe model is aluminum, so it will have a scrap value of $150 at the end of its life. The standard model is plastic and has no scrap value. The use of the deluxe model on the loading dock will also save your company $1,000 per year in heating costs because of its ability to seal better. If you use an interest rate of 12% and present worth analysis, which door will you recommend
Answer:
You should purchase standard doors because the present value of that purchase is -$25,600, while the NPV of purchasing aluminum doors is -$30,195.56.
Explanation:
we have to compare the present value of both alternatives:
alternative 1: purchase aluminum deluxe doors:
cash flow year 1 = (16 x -$2,200) = -$35,200
cash flow year 1 - 5 = $1,000
cash flow year 6 = $1,000 + (16 x $150) = $3,400
NPV = -$35,200 + $1,000/1.12 + $1,000/1.12² + $1,000/1.12³ + $1,000/1.12⁴ + $1,000/1.12⁵ + $3,400/1.12⁶ = -$35,200 + $892.86 + $797.19 + $711.78 + $635.52 + $497.18 + $1,469.91 = -$30,195.56
alternative 2: purchase standard doors
NPV = 16 x -$1,600 = -$25,600

B. Corporations have a limited life span if their owners die or quit.
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
D. One owner assumes all the risk and liability in a corporation
SUOMI
Answer:
C. Shareholders may remove the original owners from a corporation
Explanation:
Unfortunately, the founders of a corporation can be removed from the business. The process of removing a shareholder is hectic but still possible. A shareholder's agreement binds the shareholders of a business or a corporation. The agreement is the equivalent of a contract among the shareholder.
A gross violation of the agreement by a shareholder may lead to their removal. The conditions and processes of removal are normally contained in the shareholder's agreement.

Jim recently joined the Austin Barter Club, an organization that facilitates the exchange of services between its members. This year Jim provided lawn-mowing services to other club members. Jim received the following from the barter club. Determine the amount, if any, Jim should include in his gross income in each of the following situations:
A. Jim received $275 of car repair services from another member of the club.
B. Jim received a $150 credit that gave him the option of receiving a season pass at a local ski resort from another member of the club. However, he forgot to request the pass by the end of the ski session and his credit expired.
Answer:
Jim's Gross Income:
A. Car Repair $275
B. Option $0
Explanation:
Jim actually received the $275 car repair services from a club member and should include this sum in his gross income. However, since he did not actually receive the credit option of $150 for the local ski resort, because it expired, he should not include it in his gross income. The exchange was not complete since he did not benefit from the Ski Resort's free services.
Kiner Co. computed an overhead rate for machining costs ($520000) of $5 per machine hour. Machining costs are driven by machine hours. If computed based on direct labor hours, the overhead rate for machining costs would be $10 per direct labor hour. The company produces two products, Cape and Chap.

As the bookkeeper of a new start-up company, you are responsible for keeping the chart of accounts up to date. At the end of each year, you analyze the accounts to verify that each account should be active for accumulation of costs, revenues, and expenses. In July, the accounts payable clerk has asked you to open an account named New Expenses. You know that an account name should be specific and well defined. You feel that the A/P clerk might want to charge some expenses to that account that would not be appropriate. Why do you think the A/P clerk needs this New Expenses account
Answer:
There are a number of reasons, the A/P clerk could want this New Expenses account to be opened with some of them being suspicious and some of them being out of a lack of knowledge.
Assuming it is the latter (no need to be suspicious, yet), the A/P might not know that expenses accounts should be specific and well defined and so just assumed that New Expenses would serve them well.
You should explain to them how the naming of accounts is done and ask them for the Source document so you can see what name to give the new account.
If the A/P is being uncooperative, it is time to be suspicious and to clarify the issue with the superior of the clerk so as to avoid any issues with the company's books.
It's important to explain to the accounts payable clerk that the account title is inappropriate and therefore needs to be specific with the name.
If the accounts payable clerk doesn't understand, he should be told to show the source document for the expenses incurred like a check, invoice, etc so that the proper name of the account can be decided.
There isn't any reason to be suspicious because the clerk doesn't understand much about accounting. In a situation where he still insists on the account name, then the information should be reported to higher authorities.

Time period is important in accounting. Companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period. Assume the company had invested $100,000 in an interest-bearing investment on September 1st of this year. The investment earns 6% interest, but the interest doesn't get paid out until the end of the first six months. What, if any, interest revenue should the company record on their December 31st year ending income statement of this year
Answer: $2,000
Explanation:
The question alludes to the Accrual principle of Accounting that states that companies need to report revenue and expenses on their income statement based on what they earned and incurred during the accounting period.
The investment is to earn 6% annually which means that every year it is to show returns of;
= 6% * 100,000
= $6,000
On a monthly basis therefore this should be;
= 6,000 / 12
= $500
They invested on September 1st which means that they would have been invested for 4 months by December 31.
The interest for the year is therefore;
= 4 * 500
= $2,000

If the rate of growth of output is 8% and the rate of growth of population is 2%, what is the rate of growth of output per capita
Answer and Explanation:
Population and output are related in determining output per capita(per head). Total output divided by total population is equal to output per capita. Output per capita growth rate is the difference between population growth rate and output growth rate.
If output growth rate= 8%
and population growth rate = 2%
Then per capita output growth rate= output growth rate - population growth rate
Therefore per capita output growth rate = 8% - 2% =6%
Per capita output growth rate = 8%

The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 17 % 37 % Bond fund (B) 8 % 31 % The correlation between the fund returns is .1065. Suppose now that your portfolio must yield an expected return of 15% and be efficient, that is, on the best feasible CAL. a. What is the standard deviation of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Standard deviation % b-1. What is the proportion invested in the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Proportion invested in the T-bill fund % b-2. What is the proportion invested in each of the two risky funds? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Proportion Invested Stocks % Bonds %
Answer:
A) 30.291
B-1) 1.15%
B-2) proportion of stock = 78.19%
proportion of bond = 20.65%
Explanation:
Given data:
Return on stock = 17% std on stock = 37%
Return on bond = 8% std on stock = 31%
correlation between funds = 0.1065
expected yield on portfolio = 15%
Risk free rate = 4.7%
next we find the covariance between stocks and bonds
= (37 * 31 * 0.1065 ) = 122.1555
next we have to determine the weight of the portfolio ( stocks and bond )
attached below is the remaining part of the solution
A) standard deviation of the portfolio

In its initial S-1 filing, Groupon presented a non-GAAP performance metric called ACSOI. It was subsequently removed after the SEC objected. a. Why did the SEC question the inclusion of ACSOI in Groupon’s financial statements? Explain whether you think the use of ACSOI was appropriate or not. b. Non-GAAP metrics are common in some industries. For example, same-store-sales in retail, revenue-passenger-miles for airlines, etc. Are non-GAAP measures, such as these, ever of value for financial statement users?
Answer:
a. Groupon presented the Adjusted Consolidated Segment Operating Income (ACSOI) because it shows a higher amount than EBITDA. The reason is simple, Groupon wanted to show higher revenues and earnings, and the way they thought that they could do it was to use what I call "creative accounting". If the numbers do not match your expectations, play with them and change them until they do. That is exactly what Groupon did.
ACSOI increases EBITDA (which is a non-GAAP metric but it is accepted as valid by all companies) because it excludes certain expenses, e.g. marketing expenses, stock compensations, etc. It is irrational to believe that marketing expenses in a company like Groupon were irrelevant. Just a few years ago Groupon was the fastest-growing internet services company, and online marketing was essential for that type of growth rate.
b. We can just compare EBITDA and ACSOI, both are non-GAAP metrics, but one is properly designed, useful and actually shows how a company's cost structure works. But ACSOI is deliberately used to fool investors.
Some non-GAAP metrics are very useful, such as managerial accounting. Financial reports are tools and how helpful or useful they are depends on people. If you try to fool investors and trick them, eventually they will realize it.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the rate on 3-year Treasury securities is 7.20 percent, and the 6-year Treasury rate is 7.45 percent. From discussions with your broker, you have determined that expected inflation premium is 2.70 percent next year, 2.95 percent in Year 2, and 3.15 percent in Year 3 and beyond. Further, you expect that real interest rates will be 3.60 percent annually for the foreseeable future. What is the maturity risk premium on the 6-year Treasury security
Answer:
The maturity risk premium on the six year is 0.45%
Explanation:
For computing the maturity risk premium, we need to use the formula which is shown below:
3-year treasury securities = 3-year inflation period + 3-year real interest rate + maturity risk premium
7.20% = 3.15% + 3.60% + maturity risk premium
7.20% = 6.75% + maturity risk premium
Maturity risk premium = 7.20% - 6.75%
Maturity risk premium = 0.45%
Hence, the maturity risk premium on the six year is 0.45%

2. The buyer's prepaid expense is the seller's
Which revenue?
Answer:
Unearned revenue
Explanation:
Unearned revenue is money that a business has received for goods and services that it will deliver later. It is not yet revenue in a business sense because the activity that makes revenue be recognized has not yet happened. Unearned revenue is also known as deferred revenue. It is recorded as a liability by the supplier.
Unearned revenue may arise due to prepayment for goods and services, initial deposits when purchasing property, and subscription fees for magazines, TV, and clubs.
what do you think are the adverse effects when sustainable economic development practices in country are not implemented?
Answer:
Ignoring the issues of sustainable development has many possible consequences, such as rising sea levels, extreme droughts, erosion and loss of forests, increases in slum populations, species extinctions and collapsing fisheries.
The correct statement is that when the sustainable economic developments in the country are not met, a direct impact is seen in its growth and financial position of the country is weakened.
When there is no sustainable development the people of the country would ultimately suffer due to the bad policies being implemented regarding the allocation of funds.
A country should look after the developments of a country by allocation of required funds in the right fields and achieve such financial goals. Citizens must disclose their earnings and pay taxes on the true and fair amounts of such incomes. This will help in collection of taxes making the country less deficit in funds.A direct effect will be seen in country's GDP whenever there is no development. As a result of this there will be inflation in the country which will reduce the consumer's purchasing power.Hence, a country's GDP is affected when there is no proper sustainable economic development practice and also leads to inflation situations.

Biblio Files Company is making plans for its next fiscal year, and decides to sell two new types of bookshelves, Basic and Deluxe. The company has compiled the following estimates for the new product offerings. Type of Bookshelf Sales Price per Unit Variable Cost per Unit Basic $5.00 $1.75 Deluxe 9.00 8.10 The company is interested in determining how many of each type of bookshelf would have to be sold in order to break even. If we think of the Basic and Deluxe products as components of one overall enterprise product called "Combined," the unit contribution margin for the Combined product would be $2.31. Fixed costs for the upcoming year are estimated at $334,950. Recall that the totals of all the sales mix percents must be 100%. Determine the amounts to complete the following
Answer:
The requirements are missing, so I looked for similar questions:
Percent of Sales Mix = Break-Even Sales in Units = Break-Even Sales in Dollars =Type of Bookshelf Sales Price Variable Cost Contribution M.
Basic $5.00 $1.75 $3.25
Deluxe $9.00 $8.10 $0.90
combined contribution margin = $2.31
total fixed costs $334,950
break even point in units = $334,950 / $2.31 = 149,329 units
3.25b + 0.9d = 2.31
I will first try a 50/50 sales mix
(3.25 x 0.5) + (0.9 x 0.5) = 2.075 ⇒ b must be higher
(3.25 x 0.6) + (0.9 x 0.4) = 2.31 ✓
sales mix:
basic = 60% of sales
deluxe = 40% of sales
total = 100%
break-even sales in units =
basic (60% of sales) = 89,598 units
deluxe (40% of sales) = 59,731 units
total = 149,329 units
break-even sales in dollars =
basic 89,598 units x $5 = $447,990
deluxe 59,731 units x $9 = $537,579
total = $985,569
Winston Company estimates that the factory overhead for the following year will be $1,250,000. The company has decided that the basis for applying factory overhead should be machine hours, which is estimated to be 50,000 hours. The total machine hours for the year were 54,300. The actual factory overhead for the year was $1,375,000. Determine the over- or underapplied amount for the year.
a. $118,250 overapplied
b. $17,500 underapplied
c. $118,250 underapplied
d. $17,500 overapplied
Answer:
b. $17,500 underapplied
Explanation:
Calculation to Determine the over- or underapplied amount for the year
First step is to find the Pre determined overhead rate using this formula
Pre determined overhead rate = Estimated factory overheads / Estimated machine hours
Pre determined overhead rate = $1,250,000 / 50000
Pre determined overhead rate = $25 per machine hour.
Second step is to find the Factory overhead amount applied using this formula
Factory overhead amount applied = Pre determined overhead rate * Actual machine hours
Factory overhead amount applied = $25 * 54,300
Factory overhead amount applied = $1,357,500
The last step is to calculate for the over- or underapplied amount for the year
Using this formula
Under applied overhead = Applied overhead - Actual overhead
Let plug in the formula
Under applied overhead = $1,357,500 - $1,375,000
Under applied overhead= $17,500
Therefore the underapplied amount for the year is $17,500

The company does not make the 5 179 election. Determine the total deductions in calculating taxable income related to the machines for 2018.
a) $48,000
b) $100,000
c) None of the above
d) $51.432
e) $480,000
Answer:
d) $51.432
Explanation:
Deduction on 10 year Property = $400,000 * (MACRS Rate)
Deduction on 10 year Property = $400,000 * 0.10
Deduction on 10 year Property = $40,000
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $80,000 * (MACRS Rate)
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $80,000 * 0.1429
Deduction on 7 Year Property = $11,432
Total Deduction on the properties = $40,000 + $11,432
Total Deduction on the properties = $51,432

An investment counselor calls with a hot stock tip. He believes that if the economy remains strong, the investment will result in a profit of $10,000. If the economy grows at a moderate pace, the investment will result in a profit of $30,000. However, if the economy goes into recession, the investment will result in a loss of $30,000. You contact an economist who believes there is a 30% probability the economy will remain strong, a 60% probability the economy will grow at a moderate pace, and a 10% probability the economy will slip into recession. What is the expected profit from this investment?
Answer:
6,000
Explanation:
The expected value from this investment can be calculated by possible values for random variables by multiplying them by their probability
DATA
Strong = 30,000 , probability = 30%
Moderate = 10,000 , probability = 60%
Weak = -30,000 , probability = 10%
Calculation
Expected profit = Values x Probability
Expected profit = (30,000 x 30%) + (10,000 x 60%) + ( 30,000 x 10%)
Expected profit = 6,000 + 6,000 -6,000
Expected profit = 6,000

Answer:
c. A model to understand key cultural considerations between different countries, so as to inform global business managers of cultural deviations.
d. A model for predicting financial gain across a globalized market.
Explanation:
Culture plays a key role in the advancement of businesses because the local employees have a way of doing things and a system of beliefs that would affect the business in the long-run. So, if businesses want to be successful, managers would have to understand the culture of the people they work with. This prompted the work of Dutch Philosopher Geert Hofstede who classified the cultural orientation of people across six dimensions which include;
Power Distance
Individualism/Collectivism
Masculinity/Femininity
Uncertainty Avoidance

Garth was amazed to hear that his friend Lindsey always pays off her credit card balance each month. Garth just assumed that everyone used credit cards the same way - buy now, pay later - only in his case, months later. He buys almost everything he needs or wants, including clothes, food, and entertainment with his card. When Lindsey asked him about the balance calculation method, APR, grace period, or other fees and features of his card, Garth was clueless. He reasoned that his credit card was a safe and convenient way to shop and it allowed him to buy expensive items by paying minimum monthly payments. Overall, Garth thought of himself as a responsible credit user, despite the fact he had been late making a few monthly payments, and, once or twice, had gone over his credit limit. He also uses his card regularly to obtain cash advances. After hearing all of this, Lindsey is worried about her friend. She has come to you for help in answering the following questions. a. What type of credit user is Garth? Based on your answer, what is the number one factor that should influence Garth's choice of a credit card?
Answer:
Garth is a "REVOLVER "
Explanation:
Garth is a "Revolver" type of credit user, because he doesn't pay up the monthly payments on his card in full and on time, instead he carries debts over to the other months by paying in monthly installments
Based on the type of credit user Garth is, when picking up a credit card Garth should consider going for credit cards with low interest rate/APR charges and a longer grace period as well.
Channing Corporation makes two products (A1 and B2) that require direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. The following data refer to operations expected for next month.
A1 B2 Total
Revenue $100,000 $ 300,000 $400,000
Direct material 30,000 60,000 90,000
Direct labor 40,000 95,000 135,000
Overhead:
Direct-material related 13,500
Direct-labor related 40,500
Required:
Channing uses a two-stage cost allocation system, It uses direct-material costs to allocate direct-materials related overhead and direct-labor costs to allocate direct-labor related overhead costs.
a. Compute the direct-material related overhead rate for next month.
b. Compute the direct-labor related overhead rate for next month.
c. What is the total overhead allocated to product A1 next month?
d. What is the total overhead allocated to product B2 next month?
a. predetermined rate ?? % of direct materials costs
b. predetermined rate ?? % of direct-labor cost
c. Total Overhead (A1) ??
d. Total Overhead (B2) ??
Answer:
a. 15% of direct material cost
b. 30% of direct labor cost
c. $16,500
d. $37,500
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:-
a. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-material related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 13,500 ÷ 90,000
= 15% of direct material cost
b. Predetermine overhead rate = Direct-labor related ÷ Total of direct labor
= 40,500 ÷ 135,000
= 30% of direct labor cost
c. Total overhead (A1) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 30,000 × 15% + 40,000 × 30%
= $16,500
d. Total overhead (B2) = Direct material × Predetermine overhead rate of direct material + Direct labor × Predetermine overhead rate of direct labor
= 60,000 × 15% + 95,000 × 30%
= $37,500

Lorenzo is the sole proprietor of a trampoline shop. During 2019, the following transactions occurred.Unimproved land adjacent to the store was condemned by the city on February 1. The condemnation proceeds were $15,000. The land, acquired in 1986, had an allocable basis of $40,000. Lorenzo has additional parking across the street and plans to use the condemnation proceeds to build his inventory.A truck used to deliver trampolines was sold on January 2 for $3,500. The truck was purchased on January 2, 2014, for $6,000. On the date of sale, the adjusted basis was zero.Lorenzo sold an antique rowing machine at an auction. Net proceeds were $4,900. The rowing machine was purchased as used equipment 17 years ago for $5,200 and is fully depreciated.Lorenzo sold an apartment building for $300,000 on September 1. The rental property was purchased on September 1, 2015, for $150,000 and was being depreciated over a 27.5-year MACRS life using the straight-line method. At the date of sale, the adjusted basis was $124,783.Lorenzo's personal yacht was stolen on September 5. The yacht had been purchased in August at a cost of $25,000. The fair market value immediately preceding the theft was $19,600. Lorenzo was insured for 50% of the original cost, and he received $12,500 on December 1.Lorenzo sold a Buick on May 1 for $9,600. The vehicle had been used exclusively for personal purposes. It was purchased on September 1, 2014, for $20,800.Lorenzo's trampoline stretching machine (owned two years) was stolen on May 5, but the business's insurance company will not pay any of the machine's value because Larry failed to pay the insurance premium. The machine had a fair market value of $8,000 and an adjusted basis of $6,000 at the time of theft.Lorenzo had AGI of $102,000 from sources other than those described above.Lorenzo has no non-recaptured § 1231 lookback losses.For each transaction, what are the amount and nature of recognized gain or loss?What is Lorenzo's 2019 Adjusted Gross Income?
Explanation:
we have to get The Amount and nature of recognized gain or loss for each transaction:
a. The condemnation proceeds = $15,000. allocable basis of acquired land = $40,000."
loss = $40,000 - $15,000
= $25,000
b. sale of truck = $3,500. the adjusted basis = 0
Gain = $3,500 - 0 = $3,500
c.
As rowing machine was sold for 4900 and is fully depreciated, with an adjusted basis of 0
Gain = $4,900 - 0 = $4,900
d. sale of apartment = 300000
adjusted basis = $124,783
when we subtract we get :
The Overall gain would be = $300,000 - $124,783 = $175,217
Unrecaptured Section gain = $150,000 - $124,783 = $25,217
Regular long-term capital gain = Overall gain - Uncaptured section gain
This is:
= $175,217 - $25,217 = $150,000
e. his yatch was stolen, it had cost $25,000. The fair market value = $19,600. he was insured for 50% of the original cost, of which he got $12,500 on December 1."
Then Tax loss = Fair market value - Amount received from insurance
$19600-$12,500 = $7,100
so we have here a tax loss of $7,100 ( before any AGI limitation),
f. he sold a Buick for $9,600. It was bought for $20,800."
Loss = $20,800 - $9,600 = $11,200
a non-deductible personal loss.
g. after his trampoline machine was stolen. fair market value was 8000, adjusted basis = 6000
Tax Loss = $6,000
lorenzos Adjusted Gross Income for 2019 = $102,000 + $3,500 + $4,900 + $150,000 - $6,000 = $254,400
