Answer:

a. Lockheed Martin is a government contractor

b. Amtrak is a government corporation

Explanation:

a. Lock heed Martin as a Government Contractor

A government contractor is a company that does contracts predominantly supplied by the government. The contracts are financed by the government mostly from tax collection. These contracts vary in type whether it is defense or any other type of contract for that matter.

In the case of Lockheed Martin, this is a defense contractor that has been listed as one of the biggest government contractors over the years. It also has worldwide interest in aerospace and advanced technologies. This company was formed as a result of a merger between Lockheed Corporation and Martin Marietta on the March of 1995.

b. Amtrak as a government corporation

From these information it can be concluded that a government contractor is in most cases is a private company that bids for tenders from the government. The bidding process is usually open to all qualified companies. After thorough assessment of these bids, the government awards the contract to the most qualified company. In the case of Lockheed Martin, the government usually requires a specialized skills in aerospace, and defense.

A government corporation on the other hand is a huge company that is there majorly for the interest of the public. It is usually partly owned by the government therefor receives a combination of state and federal subsidies. It is also usually for non-profit purposes since it is formed for the benefit of the public. The National Railroad Passenger Corporation which does it's business with the name Amtrak is a railway corporation formed in 1971 and is partly owned by the government. It provides railway services of transporting people and goods connecting many states. It therefor serves as a government corporation.

Last year, Kaylor Equipment had $15,900 of sales, $500 of net new equity, dividend payments of $75, an addition to retained earn

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$1,135.05

Explanation:

Given:

Sales = $15,900

Net new equity = $500

Dividend payments = $75

Retained earnings = $418

Depreciation = $680

Interest expense = $511

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Now,

Net income = Retained earnings + Dividend payments

= $418 + $75

= $493

Profit before tax = Net income ÷ ( 1 - tax rate )

= $493 ÷ ( 1 - 0.21 )

= $624.05

Therefore,

Earnings before interest and taxes

= Profit before tax + Interest expense

= $624.05 + $511

= $1,135.05

Rank the following three single taxpayers in order of the magnitude of taxable income (from lowest to highest). (First mean high

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Ahmed's ranking is Third (Lowest Taxable Income)

Baker's ranking is Second

Chin's ranking is First (Highest Taxable Income)

Explanation:

In order to determine the rankings, lets compute each taxpayer's taxable income by making the necessary deductions as applicable. Taxable income calculated for each taxpayer below in serial order. Before we calculate, lets have an idea of how deductions are made.

AGI is defined as the adjusted gross income which is calculated as an individual's gross income minus the expenses that qualify as deductible. These expenses include the likes of contributions to the IRA, payment of interest on student loans, alimony payments, contributions to self-employment insurance, moving expenses, some business related expenses pertaining to educators, artists etc, and some rental expenses associated with a business activity. Therefore, intuitively, we can see that a taxpayer with the highest amount of deductions for AGI would benefit the most when calculating taxable income.

Itemized deductions are expenses that a taxpayer can incorporate to lower their taxable income by reducing their adjusted gross income (AGI). These include certain medical expenses, markup on house loans and charities. Taxpayer's can chose between either opting to deduct itemized expenses or standard deductions which is a fixed deduction allowed under tax law. Obviously, a taxpayer would go for the deduction amount which is the highest. Standard deduction is $ 5,950. Therefore, among the taxpayer's, the one with the highest amount of itemized deductions would benefit the most.

Lets calculate taxable income now.

(1) Ahmed

Gross Income: 80,000

Less Deduction for AGI: (8,000)

Adjusted Gross Income: 72,000

Less higher of itemized deduction or standard deduction: (5,950)

Taxable Income: 66,050

(2) Baker:

Gross Income: 80,000

Less Deduction for AGI: (4,000)

Adjusted Gross Income: 76,000

Less higher of itemized deduction or standard deduction: (5,950)

Taxable Income: 70,050

(3) Chin:

Gross Income: 80,000

Less Deduction for AGI: (0)

Adjust Gross Income: 80,000

Less higher of itemized deduction of standard deduction: (8,000)

Taxable Income: 72,000

As we can see from the above, since Ahmed has the highest deductions for AGI he has the lowed adjusted gross income. He can then take use of the fact that he can deduct a standard deduction of 5,950 (while not having any itemized deductions) to further lower his taxable income.

Chin did not have an deductions for AGI which made his taxable income the highest.

Note: Taxpayers can also deduct personal and dependency deductions but these have been excluded in the context of the question based on the assumption that these deductions have either not been made or would be equal for all three taxpayers. The answer would not be affected in either case.

Absorption and Variable Costing Comparisons: Production Equals Sales Assume that Smuckers manufactures and sells 30,000 cases of

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

a:Total Variable Costs $26

a:Total Manufacturing Costs = $ 30

b:Net Income Variable Costing $100,000

b: Net Income Absorption Costing $ 100,000

Explanation:

Smuckers Manufacturers

Costs per case under Variable Costing

Direct materials per case 16

Direct labor per case 7

Variable manufacturing overhead per case 3

Total Variable Costs $26

Costs per case under Absorption Costing

Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000

Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000

Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000

Total Variable Costs 780,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000

Total Manufacturing Costs $ 900,000

Total Manufacturing Costs per Case= $ 900,000/ 30,000= $ 30

The difference between the variable and absorption costing is that the product costs include variable and fixed costs in absorption costing. But in variable costing the product costs include only variable costs.

SMUCKERS

Variable Costing Income Statement

For the Third Quarter of 2017

Sales (30,000*34) 1020,000

Direct materials (30,000*16) 480,000

Direct labor (30,000*7) 210,000

Variable manufacturing overhead (30,000*3) 90,000

Total Variable Costs 780,000

Contribution Margin 240,000

Fixed Expenses 140,000

Total fixed manufacturing overhead $120,000

Fixed selling and administrative 20,000

Net Income 100,000

In this case the net income under both variable and absorption costing does not change because the units produced are units sold. No cost is charged to ending inventory under absorption costing.
