Hardware and software acquisition costs account for about ________ percent of tco.

1 answer:

7 0

20 percent - TCO or Total Cost of Ownership consists of a number of factors, both tangible and intangible. It is easy to ignore the intangible costs like admin costs, training costs, operations costs, etc. and focus only on the tangible costs like cost of hardware and software acquisition. In reality, hardware and software acquisition accounts for only 20% of the TCO. Other intangible and support costs can contribute significantly to the TCO

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

taxable income per pay period = $1,637.50

Explanation:

first we must determine Yvette's pay per period. Since she is paid semimonthly, that means she gets paid twice a month = $42,000 / (12 x 2) = $42,000 / 24 pay periods = $1,750 per pay period

her 401 (k) contributions = $1,750 x 3% = $52.50

her medical premium = $60

taxable income per pay period = $1,750 - $52.50 - $60 = $1,637.50

Whitman Company has just completed its first year of operations. The company’s absorption costing income statement for the year

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

1. Preparing Contribution Income statement

Sales = 40,000 units X $42.60 = $1,704,000

Less: Variable Costs

Direct Material = $11 X 40,000 = $440,000

Direct Labor = $3 X 40,000 = $120,000

Variable Manufacturing Overhead = $3 X 40,000 = $120,000

Variable Selling Expenses = $4 X 40,000 = $160,000

Total Variable Costs = ($840,000)

Contribution Margin = $864,000

Less: Fixed Costs

Selling & Administrative = $300,000

Manufacturing Overheads = $196,000

Total Fixed Cost = ($496,000)

Net Operating Income = $368,000

2. Now we have net income as per Contribution statement = $368,000 and net income as per Absorption Costing = $404,000

This difference is because of Fixed Manufacturing Overheads

Under Absorption costing Fixed Manufacturing Overheads charged = $196,000 ÷ 49,000 units = $4 per unit X 40,000 units = $160,000 whereas in contribution statement it is charged fully.

Under absorption costing even fixed costs are charged based on the number of units produced, whereas in income statement is it charged completely irrespective of the units produced as that value is fixed and cannot be avoided on per unit basis.

Difference = $404,000 - $368,000 = $36,000

Manufacturing cost for 9,000 units (49,000 - 40,000) = at the rate of $4 = $36,000

In case cost of fixed manufacturing overhead is reduced by $36,000 then profit will be increased to $368,000 + $36,000 = $404,000 same as of absorption costing.

marin [14]

Answer:

$11,560

$5666.661

Explanation:

Given the following :

Bill received from accountant = $17,000

This year's marginal tax rate = 32%

Next year's marginal tax rate = 37%

After tax return on investment = 11%

After tax cost of bill is paid in December :

Billed amount * this year's tax rate

$17,000 * ( 1 - 0.32)

= $17,000 * 0.68

= $11,560

B) After tax cost of bill was paid in January:

Billed amount * next year's tax rate * PV factor

From the present value factor table;

PV factor (1 years, 11%) = 0.9009

Hence,

$17,000 * 0.37 * 0.9009 = $5666.661
