A tax system in which the tax rate on everyone's first $10,000 of income is 10 percent, the tax rate on everyone's second $10,000 of income is 15 percent, and the tax rate on all income over $20,000 is 25 percent is a(n):
Answer:
The appropriate response is "Progressive tax".

Progressive taxation appears to mean that the tax rate is higher for increased organizations as well as lower for low-income communities. Whenever the taxable income leads to higher, the above tax rate tends to increase. The approximately equal tax rate would be taxation that is set regardless including its up or down in tax liability.So that above is the correct answer.
The Greenback Store’s cost structure is dominated by variable costs with a contribution margin ratio of 0.25 and fixed costs of $40,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 25 cents toward fixed costs and profit. The cost structure of a competitor, One-Mart, is dominated by fixed costs with a higher contribution margin ratio of 0.75 and fixed costs of $440,000. Every dollar of sales contributes 75 cents toward fixed costs and profit. Both companies have sales of $800,000 for the month. Required: a. Compare the two companies’ cost structures. b. Suppose that both companies experience a 15 percent increase in sales volume. By how much would each company’s profits increase?
Answer:
Greenback Store One-Mart
Amount % Amount %
a. Sales $800,000 100% $800,000 100%
Variable cost $600,000 75% $200,000 25%
Contribution margin $200,000 25% $600,000 75%
Fixed cost $40,000 5% $440,000 55%
Operating profit $160,000 20% $160,000 20%
Break even point $160,000 $586,666.67
Workings
Greenback Store Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 40,000 / 0.25 = 160,000
One-Mart Break even point = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = 440,000 / 0.75 = 586,666.67
b. Greenback Store
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 25% = $30,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of Greenback Store, the profit of the company increase by $30,000
One-Mart
Increase in sales = $800,000*15% = $120,000
Company profit Increase by + (Increase in sales * Contribution margin ratio = 120,000 * 75% = $90,000
Thus, with the increase in 15% of sales of One-Mart , the profit of the company increase by $90,000.

Steve Colburn's portable sawmill used 100% for business, was completely destroyed by fire. The sawmill had an adjusted basis of $35,000 and a fair market value of $50,000 before the fire. The sawmill was uninsured. Steve's casualty loss is:________.1) $49,900.
2) $50,000.
3) $35,000.
4) $34,900.
Answer: $35,000
Explanation:
A casualty loss is simply a loss that an individual or business incurs when a property is damaged, or destroyed due to an unexpected or sudden event like fire, volcanic eruption, flood etc.
Here, Steve's casualty loss will be gotten when we compare both his adjusted basis and the fair market value and then we choose the lesser one. Since $35000 is lesser than $50000, therefore the answer will be $35000.
Fortune Company had beginning raw materials inventory of $16,000. During the period, the company purchased $92,000 of raw materials on account. If the ending balance in raw materials was $10,000, the amount of raw materials transferred to work in process is
Answer:
The amount of raw materials transferred to work in process is $98,000.
Explanation:
Given that, at the beginning of its business operations, Fortune Company had a raw material inventory of $ 16,000 and that, during the business year, it acquired another quantity of raw materials for $ 92,000, the total of raw materials in the company's stock had a total value of $ 108,000 (16,000 + 92,000).
Now, if at the end of the balance the value of the raw materials was $ 10,000, the amount of raw material that was incorporated into the production process was a value of $ 98,000 (108,000 - 10,000).
Swifty uses the periodic inventory system. For the current month, the beginning inventory consisted of 7300 units that cost $11.00 each. During the month, the company made two purchases: 2800 units at $12.00 each and 12200 units at $12.50 each. Swifty also sold 13100 units during the month. Using the average cost method, what is the amount of cost of goods sold for the month? (Round average cost per unit to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.48.)
1- $156545.
2- $157200.
3- $151400.
4- $163300.
Answer:
1. $156545.
Explanation:
Average cost of inventory = {(7300 x $11) + (2800 x $12) + ($12200 x $12.50)}/(7300 + 2800 + 12200)
Average cost of inventory = $80300 + $33600 + $152500)/22300
Average cost of inventory = $11.95 per unit
Cost of goods sold = Units sold * average cost per unit
Cost of goods sold = 13,100 * $11.95
Cost of goods sold = $156,545

Impairent = $700,000 - $590,000
Impairent = $110,000
Roland had revenues of $601,000 in March. Fixed costs in March were $212,520 and profit was $51,920. A. What was the contribution margin percentage?B. What monthly sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to break-even?
c. What sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to earn $169,420?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
Revenue = $601,000
Fixed costs = $212,520
Profit = $51,920
A. A. What was the contribution margin percentage?
Contribution margin will be calculated as:
= (Fixed cost + Profit) / Revenue
= ($212520 +$51920) / $601,000
= $264440 / $601000
= 44%.
B. What monthly sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to break-even?
The break even point sales will be:
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin
= $212520 / 44%
= $212520 / 0.44
= $483000
C. What sales volume (in dollars) would be needed to earn $169,420?
This will be:
= (FC+DP) / Contribution margin
= (212520 + 169420)/0.44
= $381940/0.44
= $868045.45

which fiscal policy would most likely result in the largest budget deficit
Answer:
If the question asks for the largest SURPLUS the answer will be
High Taxation and Low Spending
Explanation:
There are two different questions make sure you read it correctly!!!!
The fiscal policy that would most likely result in the largest budget deficit is expansionary fiscal policy.
What is fiscal policy?Fiscal policy refers to the use of the government budget to affect the economy. This includes government spending and levied taxes. The policy is said to be expansionary when the government spends more on budget items such as infrastructure or when taxes are lowered.
Such policies are typically used to boost productivity and the economy. Conversely, the policy is contractionary when government spending decreases or taxes rise. Contractionary policies might be used to combat rising inflation. Generally, expansionary policy leads to higher budget deficits, and contractionary policy reduces deficits. Expansionary Policy is when governments can spend beyond their tax-based budgetary constraints by borrowing money from the private sector. The U.S. government issues Treasury Bonds to raise funds, for example.
To meet its future obligations as a debtor, the government must eventually increase tax receipts, cut spending, borrow additional funds or print more dollars.

Rearden Metal has a bond issue outstanding with ten years to maturity, a yield to maturity of 8.6%, and a B rating. The corresponding risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 6%. Assuming a normal economy, the expected return on Rearden Metal's debt is closest to:______
a. 0.6%
b. 1.6%
c. 4.6%
d. 6.0%
Answer:
c. 4.6%
Explanation:
the question is incomplete, since it is missing the average beta for B rated bonds, so I looked for similar questions: average beta for B bonds = 0.26 and since we are assuming a normal economy, we should use it:
the expected return on the bonds = risk free rate + (average beta of B rated bonds x risk premium)
expected return = 3% + (0.26 x 6%)
expected return = 3% + (0.26 x 6%) = 3% + 1.56% = 4.56% ≈ 4.6%
Over a five-year period, (nominal) GDP in a nation increased from $10 trillion to $15 trillion, while the GDP price deflator increased from 100 to 125. Approximately how much is GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars?
Answer:
The GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars, is approximately $12 trillion.
Explanation:
This can be calculate using the following formula:
Real GDP in year five = Nominal GDP in year five / (GDP price deflator in year five / GDP price deflator in year-one) ................... (1)
Where;
Real GDP in year five = Amount of GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars = ?
Nominal GDP in year five = $15 trillion
GDP price deflator in year five = 125
GDP price deflator in year-one = 100
Substituting the into equation (1), we have:
Real GDP in year five = $15 / (125 / 100) = $15 / 1.25 = $12 trillion
Therefore, the GDP in year five, stated in terms of year-one dollars, is approximately $12 trillion.

Answer: A. 27.50% breakeven tax bracket; No, you should buy the muni bond
Explanation:
The breakeven federal tax rate where one is indifferent with regard to purchasing the taxable bond or the municipal bond will be calculated as:
= 1 - municipal bond yield/taxable bond yield
= 1 - (5.8% / 8%)
= 1 - (0.058 / 0.08)
= 1 - 0.725
= 0.275
=27.50%
Therefore, the answer will be A) 27.50% breakeven tax bracket; No, you should buy the municipal bond.

Bishop has a capital balance of $120,000 in a local partnership, and Cotton has a $90,000 balance. These two partners share profits and losses by a ratio of 60 percent to Bishop and 40 percent to Cotton. Lovett invests $60,000 in cash in the partnership for a 20 percent ownership. The goodwill method will be used. What is Cotton's capital balance after this new investment?
a) $99,600
b) $102,000
c) $112,000
d) $126,000
Answer:
b) $102,000
Explanation:
Calculation of goodwill
Lovett investment $60,000
Actual value of partnership = $60,000/20% = 300,000
Partnership capital = $120,000 + $90,000 + $60,000 = $270,000
Goodwill = $300,000 - $270,000 = $30,000
Distribution of Goodwill
Bishop = $30,000 * 60% = $18,000
Cotton = $30,000 * 40% = $12,000
Cotton's Capital = $90,000 + $12,000 = $102,000. Thus, Cotton's capital balance after this new investment is $102,000
Casey Electronics has a piece of machinery that costs $300,000 and is expected to have a useful life of 6 years or 40,000 hours.

Answer:
a) $37,500
Explanation:
In order to determine the depreciation for year 1 based on the units-of-production method, we apply the formula below:
Annual Depreciation= Depreciable Value × Units produced during the year /Estimated total production
Depreciable Value = Original cost – Scrap value
depreciable value=$300,000-$50,000=$250,000
Units produced during the year=6,000 hours
Estimated total production in hours=40,000 hours
first-year depreciation=$250,000*6000/40000
first-year depreciation=$ 37,500.00

Toys "R" Us has decreased its receivable turnover over the last three years: which of the following may be a possible cause of this decrease? A) the company has been more selective in choosing reliable customers. B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms. C) the accounting department has increased the allowance for doubtful accounts. D) all of the above are correct
Answer:
B) salesmen have granted customers an extension of credit terms.
Explanation:
receivables turnover ratio = net sales / average accounts receivable
A low receivables turnover ratio is usually a bad thing, since most companies sell on credit, i.e. their accounts receivable should be important. A high receivables turnover ratio means that the company is collecting its accounts receivable efficiently and its customers are good payers.
The key point here is average accounts receivable. What can result in a company having very high accounts receivable (compared to its total sales)? The answer is simple, their customers are not paying on time or the company had to extend their credit terms in order to attract more customers.
15-9: Harris Company must set its investment and dividend policies for the coming year. It has three independent projects from which to choose, each of which requires a $3 million investment. These projects have different levels of risk, and therefore different costs of capital. Their projected IRRs and costs of capital are as follows: Project A: Cost of capital: 17%; IRR: 20% Project B: Cost of capital: 13%; IRR: 14% Project C: Cost of capital: 7%; IRR: 9% Haris intends to maintain its 35% debt and 65% common equity capital structure, and its net income is expected to be $7,500,000. If Harris maintains its residual dividend policy (with all distributions in the form of dividends), what will its payout ratio be?
Answer:
Its payout ratio will be 22%
Explanation:
Residual dividend policy is a policy where a company uses the residual equity to fund dividend payments.
Accept Project A, B and C as they all have higher Cost of capital than the IRR
The total investment = $3,000,000 * 3 = $9,000,000
Dividend = Earnings - Investment in equity = $7,500,000 - 65%*$9,000,000 = $7,500,000 - $5,850,000 = $1,650,000
Dividend payout ratio = Dividend / Total earnings = $1,650,000 / $7,500,000 = 0.22 = 22%
Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%. What is the investment's coefficient of variation?
a. 0.67
b. 0.73
c. 0.81
d. 0.89
e. 0.98
Answer:
A)0.67
Explanation:
Coefficient of variation can be regarded as the method that is usually devices in the assessment of the total risk per unit of return in a particular investment.
To calculate the investment's coefficient of variation, we use the expresion below
Coefficient of variation = standard deviation/expected return.
Given:
expected return = 15%
standard deviation = 10%.
Coefficient of variation =10/15
= 0.67
Hence, the investment's coefficient of variation is 0.67
