Answer:

B. $123,000

Explanation:

The computation of the Paul's cost of going to college is presented below:

= Tuition fees + room and board charges + books expenses + earning as a construction job - room and board charges

= $90,000 + $15,000 + $7,000 + $22,000 - $11,000

= $123,000

We simply deduct the room and board charges while working as a construction job and the other items would be added

The cost of Paul going to college, considering both his college expenses and the opportunity cost of lost salary and living expenses if he doesn't go to college, amounts to $123,000.

The subject of this question is Mathematics, specifically in the area of cost analysis. When considering the cost of going to college, Paul needs to account for all the expenses associated with college, including tuition, room and board, and books. Therefore, his total expenditure for going to college would be the sum of these costs, which is $90,000 (tuition) + $15,000 (room and board) + $7,000 (books) = $112,000. However, if Paul chooses not to go to college, he wouldn't just save on these expenses. He would also earn a salary from his construction job, and his room and board expenses will still exist. In this case, his effective cost (if he doesn't go to college) would be his lost salary minus his room and board expenses, which is $22,000 (salary) - $11,000 (room and board) = $11,000. So, the actual cost to Paul for going to college, considering what he would earn and spend if he doesn't go to college, is $112,000 (college costs) + $11,000 (net cost if not going to college) = $123,000. Therefore, the correct answer is B. $123,000.

Answer:

$1,273,300

Explanation:

The computation of the net income is shown below:

= Gross sales - sales returns - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expense - prior-year understatement of amortization expense + Gain on sale of stock portfolio securities + Gain on disposal of a discontinued business segment - income tax expense

where, income tax expense would be

= ( Gross sales - sales returns - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative expense - prior-year understatement of amortization expense + Gain on sale of stock portfolio securities + Gain on disposal of a discontinued business segment) × income tax rate

= ($3,600,000 - $34,000 - $1,200,000 - $500,000 - $59,000 + $8,000 + $4,000) × 30%

= $545,700

So, the net income would be

= $3,600,000 - $34,000 - $1,200,000 - $500,000 - $59,000 + $8,000 + $4,000 - $545,700

= $1,273,300

The net income for Year Two is $1,339,800.

In order to calculate the net income for Year Two, we need to consider the various revenues and expenses.

First, we need to calculate the operating income. Operating income is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold and selling and administrative expenses from the gross sales. Therefore, the operating income for Year Two is $3,600,000 - $1,200,000 - $500,000 = $1,900,000.

Next, we need to consider the various gains and adjustments. The gain on sale of stock portfolio securities, gain on disposal of discontinued business segment, and unrealized gain on AFS debt portfolio securities are all non-operating gains. These gains are added to the operating income. Therefore, the total income before taxes is $1,900,000 + $8,000 + $4,000 + $2,000 = $1,914,000.

Finally, we need to consider the income tax. The effective income tax rate is 30%, so the income tax expense is $1,914,000 x 0.30 = $574,200.

Therefore, the net income for Year Two is $1,914,000 - $574,200 = $1,339,800.

Answer:

667 horse shoes

Explanation:

Given that,

The company's fixed and variable costs are modeled by the function

Cost function: C(x) = 5.6x + 1,200

Revenue function: R(x) = 7.4x

x ⇒ represents the number of horse shoes

For break even,

Cost = Revenue

5.6x + 1,200 = 7.4x

7.4x - 5.6x = 1,200

1.8x = 1,200

x = 667

Therefore, they have to sell 667 horse shoes to break even.

The Conservatism Principle in accounting encourages professionals to choose the option that results in the lowest net income when faced with a recognition dilemma. The principle aims to prevent the overstatement of income.

The accounting principle that guides accountants, when faced with a recognition dilemma, to choose the alternative that produces the lowest net income is referred to as the Conservatism Principle. This principle advises accountants to err on the side of caution when preparing financial statements – if there are two equally-likely estimations, accountants should go with the one that will show less net profit, or a greater loss. It doesn't mean to understate income, but to avoid overstating it. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of overestimation but can result in reporting lower net income.

Answer:

$3,200

Explanation:

With 200 jars of salsa and 400 bags of tortilla chips sold in year 2,

Nominal GDP in year 2, is the value of total sales using year 2 prices

Therefore, Nominal GDP = (200 * 5) + (400 * 5)

= 1,000 + 2,000

= $3,000.

Real GDP in year 2 is the value of total sales using the prices of the base year (year 1, in this case)

Therefore, real GDP = (200 * 4) + (400 * 6)

= 800 + 2,400

= $3,200.

Final answer:

Real GDP for year 2 is calculated using base year prices, resulting in $800 from 200 jars of salsa and $2,400 from 400 bags of tortilla chips, summing to a total of $3,200 real GDP for year 2.

Explanation:

When calculating real GDP, we use the prices from the base year to value the goods and services produced in a different year. In this example, year 1 is the base year, where salsa sells for $4 and a bag of tortilla chips sells for $6. To calculate the real GDP for year 2, we must value the goods sold in year 2 at year 1 prices. Therefore, we calculate the real GDP for year 2 by multiplying the quantity of each good sold in year 2 by its base year price, and then summing those amounts.

The calculation would be as follows:

The total real GDP for year 2 would therefore be the sum of these two amounts, which is $800 + $2,400 = $3,200.

The United States has a comparative advantage in producing computers because, given the number of labor hours required in each nation, the US sacrifices fewer shirts to produce one computer compared to Mexico.

The principle of comparative advantage suggests that each country should specialize in the provision of goods for which it requires fewer resources or less time for production. In this case, we look at the number of labor hours required to produce one unit of a good: a shirt or a computer, in Mexico and the United States.

In Mexico, it requires 3 labor hours to produce a shirt and 15 labor hours to produce a computer. So, producing a computer in Mexico takes the equivalent of 5 shirts (15/3).

In the United States, it takes 2 labor hours to produce a shirt and 4.5 labor hours to produce a computer. Hence, producing a computer in the United States takes the equivalent of 2.25 shirts (4.5/2).

Given these ratios, the United States has a comparative advantage in producing computers because it sacrifices fewer shirts to produce a computer, compared to Mexico.

Answer:

a positive technology shock

Explanation:

Technology is part of the capital factor of production, and it is the most important way of increasing the quality of capital. An increase in the quality of capital means that given a same amount of capital (e.g one machine), labor will be able to produce a larger output (an increase in productivity). Technological improvements are usually achieved through research and development.

Technological improvements also affect the land factor since they can reduce the use of natural resources and wastes, although the largest impact is usually made on labor productivity.

When a country's productivity increases, real GDP might increase above full employment level because less workers are needed to produce larger outputs.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The given statement that holding negative opinions over other people is ethical is completely false.

Weak negative ethical theories aim to lessen suffering and increase happiness, yet they are frequently accused of giving pain a greater priority than happiness.

The belief that morality is merely a matter of opinion ultimately acts as a barrier to moral reflection and ethical thought.

This is exactly what the inclination to view moral issues as subjective viewpoints do. The outright assertion that the solution to any moral quandary is a matter of opinion stops investigation before it even gets going.

It is typically regarded as positive to be tolerant of different moral worldviews. Moral difficulties can evoke strong emotions in various people, making it appear disrespectful to correct them.

Therefore, as a result, it is completely false and unethical to hold negative opinions about people. Hence, false is the answer.

Answer:

Adventure Ski LLC will file a form 941 for the four-quarter period. That is for total amount of $52,800.

Explanation:

When filing form 941 in 2019 it will be against four quartets from July 2017 to June 2018. The companie's tax obligation will be on 15,200+15,800+4,200+17,600 =$52,800

The guideline for tax payment is:

1. When the amount filed is below $50,000, tax deposits are made monthly.

2. For tax payments above $50,000 tax deposits are semi-weekly.

It is important to note that when deposits are delayed by 1 to 5 days the company will be fined 2%. Delay of 6 to 15 days will attract a fine of 5%.

During the lookback period of July 2017 to June 2018, Adventure Ski LLC reported a total of $52,800 in federal employment taxes. Therefore, in 2019, they will be considered a semi-weekly depositor as their tax liability exceeded $50,000 during the lookback period.

The question refers to federal employment taxes and a lookback period. The lookback period is a specific 12-month period used by the IRS to determine how often a business needs to deposit their employment taxes (monthly or semi-weekly). In this case, the lookback period is from July 2017 to June 2018.

The total federal employment taxes reported by Adventure Ski LLC during this time is the sum of the four quarters: $15,200 + $15,800 + $4,200 + $17,600 = $52,800.

In 2019, if Adventure Ski LLC's total tax liability during the lookback period is $50,000 or less, they are a monthly depositor. If it's more than $50,000, they are a semi-weekly depositor. Therefore, given that their tax liability during the lookback period was $52,800, Adventure Ski LLC will be considered a semi-weekly depositor in 2019.
