Answer:
yes
Explanation:
Generally, yes, taxes must be paid on mutual fund earnings, also referred to as gains. Whenever you profit from the sale or exchange of mutual fund shares in a taxable investment account, you may be subject to capital gains tax on the transaction. You also may owe taxes if your mutual fund pays dividends. The amount of tax owed ultimately depends on the combined total of your gains and losses.
Merrill, its affiliates, and financial advisors do not provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions.
"Realizing a capital gain from one mutual fund doesn't guarantee that you'll owe taxes on that gain. Each dollar of capital loss potentially can offset a dollar of capital gain."
— Mitchell Drossman, head of National Wealth Strategies in the Chief Investment Office (CIO) for Merrill and Bank of America Private Bank
A closer look at the capital gains tax
Short-term capital gains are gains from the sale of capital assets held for 12 months or less and are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gains are gains from the sale of capital assets held for more than 12 months and are currently subject to a federal long-term capital gains tax rate of up to 20%.
2021 Capital Gains Tax RatesFootnote 1
Short-term
Held for 12 months or less
Ordinary income tax rate
Long-term
Held for more than 12 months
0%, 15% or 20% depending on your taxable income
But a capital gain in one mutual fund doesn't guarantee that you'll owe taxes on that gain. Each dollar of capital loss potentially can offset a dollar of capital gain.
For example if, in the same tax year, you have $1,000 in long-term capital gains and $600 in long-term capital losses, you'll pay tax only on the net long-term capital gain of $400. If your capital losses exceed your capital gains for the tax year, you can use up to $3,000 of these excess capital losses to offset ordinary income in such tax year. You can carry over capital losses in excess of $3,000 to offset capital gains in future tax years (and, potentially, ordinary income of up to $3,000 per year).

Aspen Technologies has the following budget data:
Estimated direct labor hours 8,200 Estimated direct labor dollars $64,200 Estimated factory overhead costs $170,100
If factory overhead is to be applied based on direct labor hours, the predetermined overhead rate is:_______.
a. $24.89
b. $20.74
c. $31.12
d. $16.60
Answer:
Overhead rate = $20.74
Explanation:
Below is the given values:
Given the direct labor hours = 8200
Direct labor dollars = $64200
Factory overhead costs =$170100
Use below formula to find the overhead rate.
overhead rate = Overhead cost / Direct labor hours
Now plug the values in formula:
Overhead rate = 170100 / 8200
Overhead rate = $20.74
PandemicsPlus just paid a dividend of $1.00 per share and they consistently grown dividends at 4% annually. Investors require a return of 12% on the firm's equity. What is the current value of the stock?
Answer:
$13
Explanation:
The current value of the stock can be determined using the constant growth dividend model
according to the constant dividend growth model
price = d1 / (r - g)
d1 = next dividend to be paid
r = cost of equity
g = growth rate
(1 x 1.04) / (0.12 - 0.04) = 13

Schweser Satellites Inc. produces satellite earth stations that sell for $95,000 each. The firm's fixed costs, F, are $2.5 million, 50 earth stations are produced and sold each year, profits total $500,000, and the firm's assets (all equity financed) are $4 million. The firm estimates that it can change its production process, adding $4.5 million to assets and $380,000 to fixed operating costs. This change will reduce variable costs per unit by $12,000 and increase output by 15 units. However, the sales price on all units must be lowered to $88,000 to permit sales of the additional output. The firm has tax loss carryforwards that render its tax rate zero, its cost of equity is 16%, and it uses no debt. What is the incremental profit
Answer:
Schweser Satellites Inc.
The incremental profit is:
= $845,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Selling price of Satellite Earth Station = $95,000 each
Total sales revenue = $4,750,000 ($95,000 * 50)
Fixed costs, F = $2.5 million
Annual production and sales units = 50 units
Total profits = $500,000
Total contribution = $3 million ($2.5 m + $500,000)
Variable costs = $1,750,000 ($4,750,000 - $3,00,000)
Variable cost per unit = $35,000 ($1,750,000/50)
Assets = $4 million
Equity = $4 million
Additional assets = 4.5 million
Additional fixed operating costs = $380,000
New assets = 8.5 million
Fixed operating costs = $2.88 million
Variable cost reduction per unit = $12,000
New variable cost per unit = $23,000 ($35,000 - $12,000)
Production and sales units = 65 (50 + 15)
New selling price per unit = $88,000
Cost of equity = 16%
Tax rate = 0%
Profit under new arrangements:
Contribution per unit = $65,000 ($88,000 - $23,000)
Total contribution margin = $4,225,000 ($65,000 * 65)
Fixed operating costs = $2,880,000
Net operating profit $1,345,000
Incremental profit = $845,000 ($1,345,000 - $500,000)
ABC Manufacturing allocates overhead based on direct labor hours. You are given the following information for 2020:
Budget: Budgeted overhead $2,000, budgeted direct labor hours: 1,000
Actual: Actual overhead was $3,000, actual direct labor hours worked: 1,200
Overhead for 2020 was:_______.
a. Underapplied by $1,000
b. Underapplied by $600
c. Overapplied by $1,000
d. Overapplied by $600
Answer:
c. Overapplied by $1,000
Explanation:
Given that budgeted overhead is $2000 and actual overhead is $3000, overhead is overapplied or in excess(deficit) of overhead budget by $1000. If actual overhead were to be lower than budgeted overhead, overhead would be under applied or we would have a surplus of $1000(if budgeted overhead is $3000 and actual overhead is $1000 for example).

Top-down analysis can be regarded as utilization of comprehensive factors to serve as basis for making decision . This top-down approach helps in
identifying the big picture as well as all of its components. It usually serves as
driving force as regards the end goal.
Top-down is commonly used in domain of macroeconomics.
Hence, the problem here is self-driving vehicle industry is changing too much for the top-down approach to be effective.
Sarah Wiggum would like to make a singlelump-sum investment and have $1.6 million at the time of her retirement in 32 years. She has found a mutual fund that expects to earn 4 percent annually.
How much must Sarah invest today?
If Sarah earned an annual return of 16 percent, how much must she invest today?
If Sarah can earn 4 percent annually for the next 32 years, how much will she have to invest today?
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
When the rate of interest is 16% so the amount she invested now is
= $1,600,000 ÷ (1.16)^32
= $13,850
And, when the rate of interest is 4%, so the amount she invested now is
= $1,600,000 ÷ (1.04)^32
= $524,590
In this way it should be determined
Hexon Printing Company projected the following information for next year: Selling price per unit $80 Contribution margin per unit $40 Total fixed costs $120,000 Tax rate 40% How many units must be sold to obtain an after-tax profit of $60,000
Answer:
Break-even point in units= 5,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price per unit $80
Contribution margin per unit $40
Total fixed costs $120,000
Tax rate 40%
Desired profit= $60,000
First, we need to calculate the earnings before tax:
EBT= desired profit / (1 - t)
EBT= 60,000 / (1 - 0.4)
EBT= $100,000
Now, the break-even point in units using the following formula:
Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + EBT)/ contribution margin per unit
Break-even point in units= (120,000 + 100,000) / (80 - 40)
Break-even point in units= 5,500
A large bakery buys flour in 25-pound bags. The bakery uses an average of 4200 bags a year. Preparing an order and receiving a shipment of flour involves a cost of $10.70 per order. Annual carrying costs are $76 per bag. Determine the EOQ. (Keep two decimal places in your answer)
Answer:
34
Explanation:
Annual demand D = 4,200 bags
Ordering cost S = $10.70
Holding cost H = $76
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2*D*S / H[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{2*4200*$10.70 / $76}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{89880/76}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = [tex]\sqrt{1182.63}[/tex]
Economic order quantity = 34.389388
Economic order quantity = 34
Assume that Zonk is a potential leveraged buyout candidate. Assume that the buyer intends to put in place a capital structure that has 70 percent debt with a pretax borrowing cost of 14 percent and 30 percent common equity. Compute the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
A. 8.85%.
B. 12.56%.
C. 13.01%.
D. 9.94%.
Answer:
A.8.85%
Explanation:
Computation to determine the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure.
First step is to calculate the Cost of equity capital using this formula
Cost of equity capital = Risk free rate + (Beta*Market premium)
Let plug in the formula
Cost of equity capital = 2.3% + (1.13*5.3%)
Cost of equity capital=8.28%
Now let determine theWeighted average cost capital
Weighted average cost capital = [.70*.14*(1-.35)]+(.30*.0828)
Weighted average cost capital= [.70*.14*.65]+.02484
Weighted average cost capital=0.0637+.02484
Weighted average cost capital= .0885*100
Weighted average cost capital= 8.85%
Therefore the weighted average cost of capital for Zonk based on the new capital structure is 8.85%
During its most recent fiscal year, Raphael Enterprises sold 270,000 electric screwdrivers at a price of $17.10 each. Fixed costs amounted to $729,000 and pretax income was $999,000. What amount should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year in question
Answer:
$2,889,000
Explanation:
Sales units = 270,000 units
Sale Price = $17.10
Fixed cost = $729,000
Sales Value = 270,000 * $17.10
Sales Value = $4,617,000
Contribution Margin = Sales- Fixed cost
Contribution Margin = $4,617,000 - $729,000
Contribution Margin = $3,888,000
Variable Cost = Contribution margin- Pretax income
Variable Cost = $3,888,000 - $999,000
Variable Cost = $2,889,000
So, $2,889,000 is the amount that should have been reported as variable costs in the company's contribution margin income statement for the year in question.

Prepare a depreciation schedule for four years using the straight-line method.
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchase price= $100,000
Salvage value= $25,000
Useful life= 4 years
To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula:
Annual depreciation= (original cost - salvage value)/estimated life (years)
Annual depreciation= (100,000 - 25,000) / 4
Annual depreciation= $18,750
Year 1:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750
Book value= 100,000 - 18,750= 81,250
Year 2:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*2= 37,500
Book value= 100,000 - 37,500= 62,500
Year 3:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*3= 56,250
Book value= 100,000 - 56,250= 43,750
Year 4:
Annual depreciation= 18,750
Accumulated depreciation= 18,750*4= 75,000
Book value= 100,000 - 75,000= 25,000

Assume, for this question only, the following: During the negotiations Juan guaranteed Sarita that the business had turned a profit in each of the past 5 years. Actually, it lost money in each of those years, although Juan did not know that. When Juan made the statement about the business's profitability, however, Sarita was conferring with her attorney and did not hear it. Her friend Harry, who was observing the negotiations, heard Juan's statement. Before long, when Sarita realizes what a bad deal she's made, she laments the fact to Harry. When Harry inquires how a business that had been profitable under Juan was suddenly losing money, Sarita is confused. They finally realize that Harry heard Juan's misstatement about the business's profitability and Sarita did not. Even so, Sarita is thrilled. With Harry as her key witness, she seeks to rescind the sale agreement claiming innocent misrepresentation. Which of the following is true?
A. Rescission, because Juan intended to defraud Sarita.
B. No rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would not have been material to Sarita if she had heard them.
C. No rescission, because Juan lacked sufficient knowledge of the false nature of his statement and did not intend to trick Sarita.
D. Rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would have been material to Sarita if she had heard them. E. No rescission, because Sarita did not actually rely on Juan's false statement about the business's profitability.
Answer:
The true statement about this case is:
D. Rescission, because Juan's claims of the business's profitability would have been material to Sarita if she had heard them.
Explanation:
Though Juan was unaware that the statement was false at the time the contract was signed, the remedy is recession since no damage has been sustained by the other party. The false statement borders on negligent misrepresentation because Juan was supposed to be aware of the company's profitability by investigating the material fact. While it is not clear if reliance was placed on the statement when the contract was signed, the fact remains that there was a negligent misrepresentation.

A stock has an expected return of 11.85 percent, its beta is 1.08, and the risk-free rate is 3.9 percent. What must the expected return on the market be
Answer:
11.26%
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
rm = expected return on the market
11.85 = 3.9 + 1.08(rm - 3.9)
11.85 - 3.9 = 1.08(rm - 3.9)
7.95 = 1.08(rm - 3.9)
7.95 / 1.08 = rm - 3.9
7.361 = rm - 3.9
rm = 11.26

a. Furhman Labs, Inc. : 13.08%
Garten Testing, Inc. : 8.74%
b. Furhman Labs
the stock is undervalued
Garten Testing
the stock is overvalued
Explanation:
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Furhman Labs, Inc. : 4.4 + 1.4(10.6 - 4.4) = 13.08%
Garten Testing, Inc. : 4.4 + 0.7(10.6 - 4.4) = 8.74%
A stock is overvalued if its intrinsic value is less than the forecast, and, it is undervalued if its intrinsic value is greater than the forecast
Furhman Labs, intrinsic value = 13.08
forecasted value = 10.60
the stock is undervalued
Garten Testing, Inc , intrinsic value = 8.74%
forecasted value = 10.50
the stock is overvalued
Rodgers Corporation produces and sells football equipment. On July 1, Year 1, Rodgers issued $65,000,000 of 10-year, 12% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 10%, receiving cash of $73,100,469. Interest on the bonds is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. The fiscal year of the company is the calendar year.
Required:
For all journal entries with a compound transaction, if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
1. Journalize the entry to record the amount of cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, Year 1.
2. Journalize the entries to record the following:
a. The first semiannual interest payment on December 31, Year 1, and the amortization of the bond premium, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
b. The interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the amortization of the bond premium, using the straight-line method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
3. Determine the total interest expense for Year 1. Round to the nearest dollar.
4. Will the bond proceeds always be greater than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is greater than the market rate of interest?
5. Compute the price of $73,100,469 received for the bonds by using the present value tables
