How are investors taxed on stocks and mutual fund investments? Check all that apply.
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).
The Cullumber Acres Inn is trying to determine its break-even point during its off-peak season. The inn has 50 rooms that it rents at $65 a night. Operating costs are as follows:
Salaries $7,000 per month
Utilities $1,000 per month
Depreciation $1,100 per month
Maintenance $1,508 per month
Maid service $13 per room
Other costs $26 per room
Required:
a. Determine the inn's break-even point in number of rented rooms per month.
b. Determine the inn's break-even point in dollars.
Answer:
a. Breakeven point in number of rented rooms:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin
Fixed cost = Salaries per month + Utilities + Depreciation + Maintenance
= 7,000 + 1,000 + 1,100 + 1,508
= $10,608
Contribution margin:
= Rent price - Maid service - Other costs
= 65 - 13 - 26
= $26
Breakeven point in rented rooms:
= 10,608 / 26
= 408 rooms
b. Breakeven point in dollars:
= Fixed costs / Contribution margin ratio
= 10,608 / (26 / 65)
= 10,608 / 40%
= $26,520
A job was budgeted to require 5 hours of labor per unit at $12.00 per hour. The job consisted of 8,100 units and was completed in 37,500 hours at a total labor cost of $489,800. What is the direct labor rate variance
Answer:
3,800 unfavorable
Explanation:
A job was budgeted at 5 hours of labour unit at $12 for an hour
The job consists of 8,100 units
It was completed in 37,500 hours
The total labor cost is $489,800
The direct labor rate variance can be calculated as follows
= 5×12×8100
= 486,000
486,000-489,800
= -3,800(since It has a negative sign it is unfavorable)
= 3,800 unfavorable
Total direct operating margin less indirect expenses equals
Answer:
Total operating income.
Explanation:
Costing is the measurement of the cost of production of goods and services by assessing the fixed costs and variable costs associated with each step of production.
In Financial accounting, a direct cost can be defined as any expense which can easily be connected to a specific cost object such as a department, project or product. Some examples of direct costs are cost of raw materials, machineries or equipments.
On the other hand, any cost associated with the running, operations and maintenance of a company refers to indirect costs. Some examples of indirect costs are utility bill, office accessories, diesel etc.
In Financial accounting, the total operating income can be defined as the sum total of the profit of a business firm (company) after its regular, recurring costs and expenses have been deducted. Thus, it's the amount of revenue generated by a business firm (company) after subtracting all operating expenses and cost of goods sold (COGS).
Mathematically, the total operating income of a business is calculated by subtracting the indirect expenses incurred by the business firm from its total direct operating margin.
This ultimately implies that, total direct operating margin less indirect expenses equals total operating income.

Borland, Inc. issues 25-year semi-annual bonds that have a face value of $1,000 and a coupon rate of 7.5%. The current market price for the bonds is $950.00. If your required rate of return is 8.5%, what is the value of one of these bonds to you
Answer: $897.03
Explanation:
You can use Excel to calculate this.
The bond is a semi-annual bond so you need to adjust the variable for this first.
Number of periods = 25 * 2 = 50 semi-annual periods
Coupon = 7.5% * 1,000 * 0.5 semi-annual adjustment = $37.50
Yield = 8.5% / 2 = 4.25%
Value to you = $897.03

Answer:
Merchant Company
On July 1 of the first year, Merchant should record interest expense (rounded to the nearest dollar) of:
= $22,472.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Face value of bonds = $727,000
Price of bonds = 604,217
Discounts = $122,783
Period of bonds = 10 years
Coupon rate of interest = 6%
Market interest rate = 7%
Payment of interest = Semi-annually (Jan. 1 and July 1)
July 1:
Cash payment = $21,810 ($727,000 * 3%)
Interest based on market rate = 21,148 ($604,217 * 3.5%)
Discount amortization = $662
Interest expense = $22,472 ($21,810 + $662)
Which of the following types of mortgages would be most advantageous to have on your house if you expected the annual rate of inflation would be higher than most people thought?
a. reverse annuity mortgage
b. interest-only mortgage
c. adjustable-rate mortgage
d. fixed-rate mortgage
Answer:
d. fixed-rate mortgage
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the persistent general rise in the price of goods and services in an economy at a specific period of time.
Generally, inflation usually causes the value of money to fall and as a result, it imposes more cost on an economy.
On a related note, when the level of inflation is low in a particular country; their current account balance would be high. However, when the level of inflation is high; it results in low growth and as such increases the home country's current account balance, other things being equal (ceteris paribus).
Hence, if you anticipate a higher annual rate of inflation than most people thought, the fixed-rate mortgage would be most advantageous to have on your house because the interest is fixed or constant over the life of the mortgage loan.
A fixed-rate mortgage can be defined as an installment or fully amortizing mortgage loan that has a fixed (constant) interest rate that doesn't change throughout the entire duration of the loan.
This ultimately implies that, an equal amount of money is paid as principal and interest throughout the life of the mortgage loan.

This increases the amount of purchases and the accounts payable account respectively by the same amount. If Hill Company uses the perpetual inventory system, the debit goes to the Inventory account and the corresponding credit to the Accounts Payable account.

Kluber, Inc. had net income of $911,000 based on variable costing. Beginning and ending inventories were 56,100 units and 54,200 units, respectively. Assume the fixed overhead per unit was $1.80 for both the beginning and ending inventory. What is net income under absorption costing?
a. $811,730
b. $904,160
c. $1,010,270
d. $907,580
e. $911,000
Answer:
Net operating income (absorption)= $907,580
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Fixed overhead per unit= $1.80
Net income= $911,000 (variable costing)
Beginning inventory= 56,100 units
Ending inventory= 54,200 units

Bramble Corp. has a weighted-average unit contribution margin of $30 for its two products, Standard and Supreme. Expected sales for Bramble are 60000 Standard and 40000 Supreme. Fixed expenses are $2400000. How many Standards would Bramble sell at the break-even point
Answer:
160,000 units
Explanation:
Step 1 : Determine the Sales Mix
Bramble : Standard
60000 : 40000
3 : 2
Step 2 : Determine the Overall Break even Point
Break even Point = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution per unit
= $2400000 ÷ $30
= 80,000
Step 3 : Determine break-even point for Standards
Standards Break even point = 80,000 x 2
= 160,000 units
Thus,
Bramble Corp would sell 160,000 units of Standards at the break-even point
Kraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots from the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 46,300 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 54,000 tons, including 11,900 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 4,200 tons.
Required:
How many tons were started and completed during October?
Answer:
42,100 tons
Explanation:
Units Completed = Beginning Work in Process Units Completed + Units started & Completed during October
54,000 = 11,900 + Units started & Completed during October
Units started & Completed during October = 54,000 - 11,900
Units started & Completed during October = 42,100
So, the number of tons were started and completed during October is 42,100 tons.
Your grandfather has offered you a choice of one of the three following alternatives: $11,500 now; $5,700 a year for five years; or $71,000 at the end of five years. Use Appendix B and Appendix D for an approximate answer, but calculate your final answer using the formula and financial calculator methods.
Required:
a. Assuming you could earn 9 percent annually, compute the present value of each alternative.
b. Which alternative should you choose?
Answer:
1. $11,500
2. $22,171.01
3. $46,145.13
option 3. This is because it has the highest present value
Explanation:
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
option 2
Cash flow each year from year 1 to 5 = $5,700
I = 9
PV = 22,171,01
OPTION 3
Cash flow in year 5 = 71,000
I = 9
PV = 46,145.13
To determine PV using a financial calculator take the following steps:
1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
3. Press compute
