Lemon Corporation generated $324,600 of income from ordinary business operations. It also sold several assets during the year. Compute Lemon’s taxable income under each of the following alternative assumptions about the tax consequences of the asset sales.
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
d.Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
Answer:
a. Lemon’s taxable income = $322,700
b. Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,200
d. Lemon’s taxable income = $326,400
Explanation:
Before the questions are answered, the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules are quoted as follows:
- If you have a net section 1231 loss, it is an ordinary loss.
- If you have a net section 1231 gain, it is ordinary income up to the amount of your unrecaptured section 1231 losses from previous years. The rest, if any, is a long-term capital gain.
Therefore, net section 1231 loss which is an ordinary loss is deducted from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Also, we describe the following:
Taxable income can be described as the amount of income that is employed to calculated the amount of tax that is payable to the government by an individual or a company in a particular tax year. It is obtained after making all required additions and allowable deductions.
Capital gain can be described as an increase in the value of a capital asset which is realized when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital gain is added to the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
Capital loss can be described as a decrease in the value of a capital asset which is recognised when the asset is sold. For tax purposes, capital loss is deducted from the income from ordinary business operations to obtain taxable income.
We therefore proceed as follows:
a. Lemon recognized a $5,500 capital gain and a $7,400 net Section 1231 loss.
From the question, we have the following:
Income from ordinary business operations = $324,600
Capital gain recognised = $5,500
Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $7,400
Based on the explanation provided above, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Capital gain recognised - Net Section 1231 loss recognised = $324,600 + $5,500 - $7,400 = $322,700
b. Lemon recognized a $6,500 capital loss and a $4,700 net Section 1231 gain.
From the question, there is nothing related past five years stated and it is therefore assumed that there is no net section 1231 loss in the past five years.
As result, the total of $4,700 net Section 1231 gain is regarded as a capital gain and it is set-off against the $6,500 capital loss as follows to obtain the non-deductible expense as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $6,500 - $4,700 = $1,800
Since there is nothing deductible again, Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore equal to the income from ordinary business operations of $324,600. That is,
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600
c. Lemon recognized a $2,500 capital gain, a $3,900 capital loss, and a $3,000 net Section 1231 gain.
Since no net section 1231 loss in the past five years is indicated here, the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain will be treated as a long-term capital gain.
Based on the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above, non-deductible expense is calculated by deducting the $3,900 capital loss to the extent of the $2,500 capital gain as follows:
Non-deductible expense = $3,900 - $2,500 = $1,400
Since the $3,000 net Section 1231 gain has to be treated as a long-term capital gain, the $1,400 will be deducted from it obtain the net capital gain as follows:
Net capital gain = $3000 - $1400 = $1600
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated by adding the $1,600 net capital gain to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = $324,600 + $1600 = $326,200
d. Lemon recognized $4,000 of depreciation recapture, a $2,000 Section 1231 gain, and a $4,200 Section 1231 loss.
We have the following:
Section 1231 loss = $4,200
Section 1231 gain = $2,000
Therefore, we have:
Net section 1231 loss = Section 1231 loss - Section 1231 gain = $4,200 - 2,000 = $2,200
This net section 1231 loss of $2,200 is therefore treated as ordinary loss as already stated in the provisions of section 1231 of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules quoted above and deducted from the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
In addition, the depreciation recapture of $4,000 will be treated as ordinary income and it will be added to the $324,600 income from ordinary business operations.
Lemon’s taxable income under this scenario is therefore calculated as follows:
Lemon’s taxable income = Income from ordinary business operations + Depreciation recapture - Net section 1231 loss = $324,600 + $4,000 - $2,200 = $326,400
You have just been hired as a financial analyst for Barrington Industries. Unfortunately, company headquarters (where all of the firm's records are kept) has been destroyed by fire. So, your first job will be to recreate the firm's cash flow statement for the year just ended. The firm had $100,000 in the bank at the end of the prior year, and its working capital accounts except cash remained constant during the year. It earned $5 million in net income during the year but paid $750,000 in dividends to common shareholders. Throughout the year, the firm purchased $5.4 million of machinery that was needed for a new project. You have just spoken to the firm's accountants and learned that annual depreciation expense for the year is $450,000; however, the purchase price for the machinery represents additions to property, plant, and equipment before depreciation. Finally, you have determined that the only financing done by the firm was to issue long-term debt of $1 million at a 5% interest rate. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below.
What was the firm's end-of-year cash balance? Recreate the firm's cash flow statement to arrive at your answer. Write out your answer completely. For example, 5 million should be entered as 5,000,000. Round your answer to the nearest dollar, if necessary.
Answer:
200,000
Explanation:
A cash flow statement is a financial statement that summarizes the amount of cash and cash equivalents entering and leaving a company. The cash flow statement measures how well a company manages its cash position, meaning how well the company generates cash to pay its debt obligations and fund its operating expenses.
Cash flow from operating activities
Net Income 5,000,000
Less Depreciation (450,000)
Cashflow from operations 5,450,000
Cash flow from investing activities
Purchase of Fixed assets 5,400,,000

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator.
The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the____________________ using by_____________________________ the using___________ and multiplying by 100. However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services .
Indicate whether each scenario will affect the GDP deflator or the CPI for the United States.
a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers.
Answer:
1. The GDP deflator for this year is calculated by dividing the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the Value of all goods and services produced in the economy in the base year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100.
However, the CPI reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by consumers.
2. a. A decrease in the price of a Chinese-made car that is popular among U.S. consumers. Affects CPI.
This affects CPI because the CPI reflects only the prices of goods and services purchased by customers.
b. An increase in the price of a Waterman Industries deep-water reel, which is a commercial fishing product used for deep-sea fishing, made in the U.S., but not bought by U.S. consumers. Affects GDP Deflator.
This is a good produced in the United States so it will affect the GDP Deflator as that deals with GDP.
what has the U.S customs created to force importing companies like wal-mart to provide more detailed information about
Answer: The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT)
Explanation:
The Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) is a partnership program between the public and private sector created by the US Customs to improve border and cargo security.
When a firm like Wal-Mart becomes a member of the CTPAT, the likelihood of their goods being examined at a port of entry falls but this is because of the oversight requirements imposed on the firms such as ensuring the members provide detailed information about their suppliers and transportation companies.

= 25,000 - 10,500
= $14,500
d. Not included as disability benefits are not included.
e. The $300 is deductible but the $200 that went towards car payment is not.
f. Taxation principles require that the person taxed should be the person earning the income so Ken will not be charged on the $1,100
g. The relevant figure here is the tax benefit before the $610 refund.
Ken claimed $6,250 in itemized deduction but the standard deduction is $6,200. Ken gained;
= 6,250 - 6,2000
= $50
h. The $30,000 is included as Ken earned it.
Gross Income = 1,200 + 1,000 + 14,500 + 200 + 50 + 30,000
= $46,950
Nell and Kirby are in the process of negotiating their divorce agreement. What should be the tax consequences to Nell and Kirby if the following, considered individually, became part of the agreement?
a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
Nell's basis for the stock is _______$ X
Kirby's basis in the house is ______$ X
b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.
The payments (qualify, do not qualify) as alimony and are (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income as they are received.
c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.
$ X per month is alimony that is (included in, excluded from) Nell's gross income, and the remaining $ X per month is considered(child support, property settlement) and is (nontaxable, taxable) to Nell.
Answer:
a. In consideration for her one-half interest in their personal residence, Kirby will transfer to Nell stock with a value of $200,000 and $50,000 of cash. Kirby's cost of the stock was $150,000, and the value of the personal residence is $500,000. They purchased the residence three years ago for $300,000.
Nell's basis for the stock is $150,000
Kirby's basis in the house is $300,000
The transfer of property due to divorce is nontaxable. The $50,000 that Nell receives is generally considered alimony (for tax purposes).
b. Nell will receive $1,000 per month for 120 months. If she dies before receiving all 120 payments, the remaining payments will be made to her estate.
The payments NOT QUALIFY as alimony and are EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income as they are received.
The TC&JA changed alimony rules and made them not deductible for the spouse that gives it, and not taxable for the spouse that receives it. It now works in a similar manner than child support. It doesn't make any difference now if payments are alimony or not.
c. Nell is to have custody of their 12-year-old son, Bobby. She is to receive $1,200 per month until Bobby (1) dies or (2) attains age 21 (whichever occurs first). After either of these events occurs, Nell will receive only $300 per month for the remainder of her life.
$300 per month is alimony that is EXCLUDED FROM Nell's gross income, and the remaining $900 per month is considered CHILD SUPPORT and is NONTAXABLE to Nell.
Again, the TC&JA changed the rules, so alimony received is not taxable.

A small nation of 10 people idolizes the TV show The Voice. All they produce and consume are karaoke machines and CDs, in the following amounts:
Karaoke Machines CDs
Quantity Price(Dollars) Quantity Price (Dollars)
2020 20 50 60 5
2021 21 70 80 6
Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Use 2020 as the base year, and fix the basket at 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs.) Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is_____________ . (Note: Again, use 2020 as the base year.) Which of the following statements is correct? Check all that apply.
a. The inflation rate in 2021 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The CPI allows the basket of goods and services to change.
c. The GDP deflator holds the basket of goods and services constant.
Answer:
The inflation rate is different using the two methods as the rate of inflation calculated by the CPI holds basket of goods and services constant while the GDP deflator allows it to change.
Explanation:
i. Value of market basket of the good in 2020 = ($50*2) + ($5*6) = $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2021 = ($70*2) + ($6*6) = $176
CPI in 2020 = ($130 / $130) * 100 = 100
CPI in 2021 = ($176 / $130) * 100 = 135.38
Thus, The percentage change in overall price level is = [(135.38 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 35.38%
ii. Nominal GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Nominal GDP in 2021 = ($70 * 21) + ($6 * 80) = $1950
Real GDP in 2020 = ($50 * 20) + ($5 * 60) = $1300
Real GDP in 2021 = ($50 * 21) + ($5 * 80) = $1450
GDP deflator in 2020 = (Nominal GDP in 2107 / Nominal GDP in 2107) * 100 = ($1300 / $1300) * 100 = 100
GDP deflator in 2021 = (Nominal GDP in 2108 / Nominal GDP in 2108) * 100 = ($1950 / $1450) * 100 = 134.48
Thus, the percentage change in overall price level is = [(134.48 - 100) / 100) * 100 = 34.48%
Yesterday, Casey received a cable company ad for bundled TV, telephone, and Internet service that cost appreciably more than what she is currently paying. At the same time, she received a notice from her utility company that summer rates would be increasing. Her schoolbooks are costing almost twice what they cost last year, and yesterday, gasoline cost her 30 cents more per gallon than it did last week. As she ponders the situation, she can't help but wonder how prices could be rising when so many people have lost their jobs and are cutting back on expenditures. She is certain that this situation characterizes her economics professor's description of stagflation.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
It is true that her situation characterizes what her economics professor's mentioned on stagflation.
She experienced high internet cost more than she is paying, she was also notified on an increase in the utility summer rates, increase in the cost of her schoolbooks, and gasoline all point to what stagflation is.
Stagflation is detected when a nation experiences slow economic growth obvious with an increase in the cost of goods, which means a reduction in purchasing power as Casey experienced. When companies want to still be running their business, they will increase the cost of their services as there are fewer goods available and the currency weakened.
Luke offered to sell his farm to Kent at $75,000, an offer which Kent declined. A week later, Luke offered to sell the farm for $65,000, stating that it was the final offer, it was valid for one month, and that he would not alter it. Two days later, Kent replied by saying that he was willing to pay $60,000 for the farm. A week after Luke received Kent's offer, Luke declined it. Ten days after that, Kent agreed to buy the farm for $65,000, but Luke refused to sell the farm. Kent decided to sue Luke for a breach of contract. The judge ruled in favor of Luke. Which one of the following is the reason for the ruling in Luke's favor?
a. Luke's original offer of $75,000 is still valid, even though rejected.
b. Kent acted in an incompetent manner with regards to the offer.
c. Kent's acceptance was past the set time period in the offer.
d. Kent's counteroffer of $60,000 had rendered the offer for $65,000 invalid.
Answer:
Option D
Explanation:
Kent's counteroffer of $60,000 had rendered the offer for $65,000 invalid
Reason- Whenever a counteroffer is made, it voids the earlier offers That's because real estate laws in all 50 states say that a seller who makes a written counteroffer automatically renders the buyer's original offer null and void.

Three different companies each purchased trucks on January 1, 2018, for $76,000. Each truck was expected to last four years or 250,000 miles. Salvage value was estimated to be $6,000. All three trucks were driven 81,000 miles in 2018, 55,000 miles in 2019, 46,000 miles in 2020, and 71,000 miles in 2021. Each of the three companies earned $65,000 of cash revenue during each of the four years. Company A uses straight-line depreciation, company B uses double-declining-balance depreciation, and company C uses units-of-production depreciation. Answer each of the following questions. Ignore the effects of income taxes.
Required:
a. Calculate the net income for 2021?
b. Which company will report the lowest amount of net income for 2021?
c. Calculate the book value on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet?
d. Which company will report the highest book value on the December 31, 2020, balance sheet?
e. Calculate the retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
f. Which company will report the highest amount of retained earnings on the December 31, 2021, balance sheet?
Answer:
a) 2021: Company A Company B Company C
Sales Revenue $65,000 $65,000 $65,000
Depreciation 17,500 3,500 19,880
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
b) Company C.
c) Book Value on December 31, 2020 Balance Sheet:
Company A Company B Company C
Truck $76,000 $76,000 $76,000
Accumulated Depreciation $52,500 $66,500 $50,960
Book value $23,500 $9,500 $25,040
d) Company reporting the highest book value on December 31, 2020:
Company C.
e) Retained Earnings:
Company A Company B Company C
2018:
Net Income $47,500 27,000 $42,320
2019:
Net Income $47,500 46,000 $49,600
2020:
Net Income $47,500 55,500 $52,120
2021:
Net Income $47,500 61,500 $45,120
Retained earnings $190,000 $190,000 $189,160
f) Companies A and B will report the highest amount of retained earnings because C's units of production did not tally to 250,000.
Explanation:
Cost of Truck = $76,000
Lifespan = 4 years or 250,000 miles
Salvage value = $6,000
Depreciable amount = $70,000 ($76,000 - $6,000)
Straight-line rate = $17,500 ($70,000/4) or 25% (100/4) per year
Double-declining balance rate = 50% (100/4 * 2) on the book balance
Units of production rate = $0.28 ($70,000/250,000) per unit

Pooling has been used for a long time by businesses as a way to reduce risk. Imagine that years ago a small paint factory employed 200 people, each with an annual salary of $600/year. The factory owner knew from experience that 4 percent of workers were being injured each year, becoming unable to work. The factory owner decided to set up a fund to pay injured workers three months of salary to help their families and build good will with employees. The owner did not contribute to the injury fund. The workers themselves contributed a fixed amount each year to fund the plan. Answer the following questions (1 point each):_____.
1. How much did the owner need to collect from employees in total to fully fund the plan each year?
2. How much did each employee have to contribute each year to fully fund the plan?
3. What percentage of salary did each employee contribute to have an injury fund like this?
Answer:
1. Amount required to fund the plan = % of injured*Total employees* Annual salary
Amount required to fund the plan = 4%*200 people* $600
Amount required to fund the plan = $4800
2. Amount contributed by each employee = Amount required to fund the plan / Number of employees
Amount contributed by each employee = $4800/200
Amount contributed by each employee = $24
3. Percentage of salary = Amount contributed by each employee / Salary
Percentage of salary = 24/600
Percentage of salary = 0.04
Percentage of salary = 4%
ogan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Logan's actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $713,400 and its actual total direct labor was 41,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hours= 40,000
Estimated fixed overhead= $466,000
Estimated variable overhead rate= $3.00 per direct labor-hour.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (466,000/40,000) + 3
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour

The lowest amount a manufacturer can pay factory workers is an example of
an incentive.
a price floor.
a price ceiling.
an elastic service.
Answer:
The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.
Explanation:
The correct answer to this question is the price floor.
The Price floor is the lowest amount that is imposed by the government or group-imposed lowest price limit for a product or service. The government uses the price floor to keep prices at a certain level from going to low. So price floors for workers set by the government that the employer should not pay less than the set amount.
while other options are not correct because::
The price ceiling is the high amount set by the government or the by other groups for a product or service.
An incentive is an amount or something that can be given to employees or someone for motivation or encouraging them to do something.
An elastic service is given by amazon to develop and run the application with different tools etc.
