Antoine transfers property with a tax basis of $535 and a fair market value of $652 to a corporation in exchange for stock with a fair market value of $555 in a transaction that qualifies for deferral under section 351. The corporation assumed a liability of $97 on the property transferred. What is Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange
Answer: $438
Explanation:
Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange will be gotten as the adjusted basis of asset exchanged which will then be decreased by the liability assumed on the property that's transfered. This will be:
= $535 - $97
= $438
Therefore, Antoine's tax basis in the stock received in the exchange is $438.
Fixed expenses are $17,000 per month. The company is currently selling 800 units per month. The marketing manager would like to introduce sales commissions as an incentive for the sales staff. The marketing manager has proposed a commission of $5 per unit. In exchange, the sales staff would accept a decrease in their salaries of $6,000 per month. (This is the company's savings for the entire sales staff.) The marketing manager predicts that introducing this sales incentive would increase monthly sales by 200 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change?
Answer:
There is a cost-saving of $1,000 per month as a result of the change. This cost-saving increases the monthly net operating income by $1,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Fixed monthly expenses = $17,000
Current sales units per month = 800
Proposed sales commission per unit = $5
Decrease in salaries per month = $6,000
Increase in sales units per month = 200
Change
Before After Difference
Fixed monthly expenses $17,000 $11,000 $6,000
Variable cost per month 0 5,000 -5,000
Total cost per month $17,000 $16,000 $1,000
Sales units per month 800 1,000 200 units
b) The effect on the company's monthly net operating income is a reduction in the total cost per month by $1,000. There is also an increase in the units sold per month by 200 units. If the selling price is determined, the net operating income will also increase by the product of the contribution margin per unit and 200.

As more units of an item are purchased, everything else equal, marginal satisfaction from consuming additional units will tend to Select one: a. decrease at the same rate for all consumers. b. decrease but at different rates for different people. c. increase at the same rate for all consumers. d. increase but at a decreasing rate for all consumers.
Answer:
b
Explanation:
Marginal satisfaction is the additional satisfaction received from consuming an additional unit of a good or service. It is the change in total satisfaction by increasing the quantity consumed by one unit
Marginal satisfaction usually declines as more units of the products is consumed
An example illustrating diminishing marginal satisfaction.
Imagine a traveller arriving from the desert where he hadn't had a drink of water in days .he is offered his first glass of water. the first cup of water he drinks would give him the highest utility. As more and more cups of water is drank, marginal utility decreases. At the point where he is fully satisfied, he stops drinking water and marginal utility becomes zero.
the decrease in marginal satisfaction of this traveller would be slower than the decrease in marginal satisfaction of a person working in an air conditioned office with easy assess to water

In a given year, if we sell 100 pounds of apples and 100 pounds of oranges, then the contribution to GDP from selling the oranges will be the same as the contribution to GDP from selling the apples.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Gross domestic product is the total sum of final goods and services produced in an economy within a given period which is usually a year
GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export
Consumption spending includes spending by households on goods and services. Consumption spending includes :
spending on durables - e.g. laptop
spending on nondurables - e.g. clothes, food
spending on services - e.g. payment of hospital bill
the purchase of a textbook by a student is an example of consumption spending on durable goods
Investment - It includes purchases of goods and services made by businesses in the production of goods and services
Government spending - It includes government consumption expenditure and gross investment.
The GDP would differ because the prices of oranges and apples are different
For example, if the price of an apple is $4 and the price of an orange is $1.
The contribution of apples to GDP =$4 x 100 = $400
The contribution of oranges to GDP =$1 x 100 = $100
Bonita Industries uses flexible budgets. At normal capacity of 21000 units, budgeted manufacturing overhead is $168000 variable and $360000 fixed. If Bonita had actual overhead costs of $546000 for 26000 units produced, what is the difference between actual and budgeted costs
Answer:
$22,000 Favorable
Explanation:
The computation of the difference between actual and budgeted cost is given below:
Budgeted Variable Manufacturing Overhead Per Unit is
= $168,000 ÷ 21,000 units
= $8
The Fixed Overhead = $360,000
Now
For 26,000 Units, total Overhead Should be:
Variable = 26,000 × 8 = $208,000
Fixed = $360,000
Total = $568,000
And,
Actual Overhead Cost = $546,000
So,
Difference between Actual and Budgeted Cost is
= $568,000 - $546,000
= $22,000 Favorable

There are hundreds if not thousands of wineries. Each winery tries to emphasize how their product is superior to others, though they are all close substitutes. Barriers to entry are low in this industry, and profits for new entrants are small. Which industrial model best fits the wine market
Answer: Monopolistic competition
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the industrial model that best fits the wine market is a monopolistic competition.
Monopolistic competition refers to a form of imperfect competition whereby there are many producers that are competing against each other. They sell differentiated products, therefore the products are not perfect substitutes
In a monopolistic competition, the barriers to entry are low in this industry, and profits for new entrants are small. The firms in the industry possess some market power and therefore can charge a price that's higher price than a competitor. It should also be noted that a zero economic profit is earned in the long run.
Maverick law office currently orders ink refills 120 units at a time. The firm estimates that carrying cost is 40% of the $10 unit cost and that annual demand is about 480 units per year. The assumptions of the basic EOQ model are thought to apply. For what value of ordering cost would its current action (order quantity) be optimal
Answer:
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Demand= 480 units per year
Order cost= $10
Holding cost= 10*0.4= $4
Economic order quantity (EOQ) is the ideal order quantity a company should purchase to minimize inventory costs such as holding costs, shortage costs, and order costs.
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*D*S)/H]
D= Demand in units
S= Order cost
H= Holding cost
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √[(2*480*10) / 4]
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= √(2,400)
Economic order quantity (EOQ)= 49 units
Given the following cost and activity observations for Smithson Company's utilities, use the high-low method to calculate Smithson's fixed costs per month. Cost Machine Hours January $88,020 9,800 February 150,430 17,700 March 103,350 11,700 April 129,310 15,000 a.$33,900 b.$18,000 c.$8,500 d.$10,600
Answer:
d. $10,600
Explanation:
Variable cost = (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost) / (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost = ($150,430 - $88,020) / (17,700 - 9,800)
Variable cost = $62,410 / 7,900
Variable cost = $7.9
Fixed cost = Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit*Highest activity units)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - ($7.9*17,700)
Fixed cost = $150,430 - $139,830
Fixed cost = $10,600
The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:
Income Statement Balance Sheet
Sales $5,700 Current assets $ 3,900
Current liabilities $ 2,200 Costs 4,200
Fixed assets 8,100 Long-term debt 3,750
Taxable income $1,500 Equity 6,050
Taxes (34%) 510 Total $12,000 Total $12,000
Net income $ 990
Assets, costs, and current liabilities are proportional to sales. Long-term debt and equity are not. The company maintains a constant 40 percent dividend payout ratio. As with every other firm in its industry, next year’s sales are projected to increase by exactly 15 percent. What is the external financing needed?
Solution :
Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 5,700 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 6555
Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)
= 4200 x (1 + 15%)
= $ 4830
Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)
= $ 1725
Taxes (34%) = 510 x (1+15%)
= $ 586.5
Net income = sales - cost - taxes
= 6555 - 4830 - 586.5
= $ 1138.5
Calculation of total asset :
Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15
= $ 4485
Fixed asset = 8100 x 1.15
= $ 9315
Total asset = 4485 + 9315
= $ 13800
Calculation of total liabilities
Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15
= $ 2530
Long term debt = $ 3,750
Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )
= $ 7189
Total liabilities = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189
= $ 13, 469
Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469
= $ 331
Given the following data: Average Operating Assets $250,000 Total Liabilities $100,000 Sales $600,000 Contribution Margin $150,000 Net Operating Income $30,000 Return on investment (ROI) would be: a. 5%. b. 12%. c. 25%. d. 60%.
Answer:
b. 12%.
Explanation:
The computation of the return on investment is given below:
return on investment is
= net income ÷ avergae total assets
= ($30,000 ÷ $250,000)
= 12%
Hence, the return on investment is 12%
Therefore the option b is correct
And, the same should be considered and relevant

Answer:
Lap Corporation
The cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:
= $825,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory = 80,000 units
Degree of completion = 100% materials and 25% conversion
Cost of beginning work in process = $226,000
Units transferred out = 150,000
Materials Conversion Total
Costs per equivalent unit $2 $3.50
Cost of units transferred out $300,000 $525,000 $825,000
= (150,000 * $2) (150,000 * $3.50)

The following monthly data are available for Bonita Industries. which produces only one product: Selling price per unit, $42; Unit variable expenses, $14; Total fixed expenses, $42000; Actual sales for the month of June, 5000 units. How much is the margin of safety for the company for June
Answer:
70%
Explanation:
Margin of safety is the amount of sales a company makes in excess of the breakeven point
Margin of safety = (actual sales - break-even sales) / actual sales
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit /
$42000 / (42 -14) = 1500
(5000 - 1500) / 5000 = 70%

Fixed factory overhead 22
Variable factory overhead 14
Required:
Determine the cost of the finished goods inventory reported on the balance sheet under (a) the absorption costing concept and (b) the variable costing concept.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the cost of the finished goods inventory reported is as follows:
Absorption costing is
= ($30 + $18 + $22 + $14) × 21,500 units
= $1,806,000
And,
Variable costing is
= ($30 + $18 + 14) × 21,500
= $1,333,000
In this way the cost of the finished goods inventory should be determined
If Chester's current cash balance is $26,337 (000) and Cash Flows From Operations next period are unchanged from this period, which of the following activities will expose Chester to the most risk of needing an emergency loan?
a. Issues 10,000 shares of stock at the current stock price
b. Sells $10,000,000 of their Long-Term Assets
c. Purchases assets at a cost of $25,000,000
d. Retires $10,000,000 in Long-Term Debt
Answer:
The correct option is c. Purchases assets at a cost of $25,000,000.
Explanation:
An emergency loan can be described as a loan that can obtained on short notice by a borrower in to cover unexpected costs.
From the options, purchasing assets at a cost of $25,000,000 will leave Chester in a serious liquidity position as the it will take 94.92% [i.e. ($25,000,000 / $26,337,000) * 100] of its current cash balance and leave the company with just $1,337 current cash balance.
Because the next period's Cash Flows From Operations are expected to be the same as this period's, purchasing assets at a cost of $25,000,000 puts Chester at the greatest danger of needing an emergency loan.
Therefore, the correct option is c. Purchases assets at a cost of $25,000,000.
