Answer: None

Explanation: The IRS commuting rule allows for business travel expenses to be deducted as business expenses but this does not apply to commuting expenses.

Business travel expenses include Judi driving the company car to customer's locations or using any other form of transportation to meet a client. It even covers travelling by plane to another state for the same purpose.

It however does not apply to travelling between home and work, this is a daily travel expense as you need to get to work anyway.

Bob,s candle factory is considering three different manufacturing options. Option A uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

a. If demand for Bob's candles is 2500, which option should he pick?

  • OPTION A

and what is the cost?

  • $16,875

b. If demand for Bob's candles is 4500 which option should he $19,950

  • OPTION B

and what is the cost?

  • $19,950

Explanation:

Option A uses hand labor with fixed costs of $10,000 and variable costs of $2.75/candle.

Option B uses a combination of hand and automation with fixed costs of $15,000 and variable costs of $1.10/candle.

Option C is highly automated with fixed costs of $20,000 and variable costs of $0.75/candle.

demand = 2,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 2,500) = $16,875

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 2,500) = $17,750

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 2,500) = $21,875

demand = 4,500 units

option A = $10,000 + ($2.75 x 4,500) = $22,375

option B = $15,000 + ($1.10 x 4,500) = $19,950

option C = $20,000 + ($0.75 x 4,500) = $23,375

Consider four different stocks, all of which have a required return of 15 percent and a most recent dividend of $4.20 per share.
natka813 [3]

Answer:

Dividend yield for W = 5%

Dividend yield for X = 15%

Dividend yield for Y = 20%

Dividend yield for Z = 4.6%

Explanation:

For a constant growth stock Price =\frac{D1}{r-g}

If r is made subject of formula;  r=\frac{D1}{Price}+g = div yield + growth rate

For Stock W, given r = 15% and g= 10%; dividend yield = 15%-10%=5%

For Stock X, given r = 15% and g= 0%; dividend yield = 15%-0%=15%

For Stock Y, given r = 15% and g= -5%; dividend yield = 15%-(-5)%=20%                                      

For Stock Z, the price of the stock today is calculated as follows:

Price of the stock today = \frac{D1}{(1+ke)^1}+\frac{D2}{(1+ke)^2}+\frac{P2}{(1+ke)^2}.

where P2= \frac{D3}{ke-g}

Price of the stock today = \frac{4.2(1.2)}{(1+0.15)^1}+\frac{4.2(1.2)^2}{(1+0.15)^2}+\frac{4.2(1.2)^2(1.1)}{(0.15-0.1)(1+0.15)^2}=109.57

Therefore dividend yield =\frac[D1}{Price} = \frac{4.2(1.2)}{109.57}=4.6%

Pleiss Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours.
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$24 favorable

Explanation:

The formula to compute the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:

= (Actual machine hours - standard machine hours) × variable overhead per hour

where,  

Actual machine hours is 2,270 machine hours

The standard machine hours is 2,280 hours and the standard variable manufacturing overhead rate is $2.40

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= (2,270 hours - 2,280 hours) × $2.40

= $24 favorable

You have won the lottery. You will receive $5,500,000 today, and then receive 40 payments of $1,900,000. These payments will sta
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

no, you shouldn't take the offer because the present value of your prize is higher than $35 million.

Explanation:

we must first calculate the present value of the annuity in 6 months. The effective interest rate per year = (1 + 9%/365)³⁶⁵ - 1 = 1.094162145 - 1 = 0.094162145 = 9.4162145

the discount rate for every 6 months:

0.094162145 = (1 + r)² - 1

1.094162145 = (1 + r)²

√1.094162145 = √(1 + r)²

1.046022058 = 1 + r

r = 0.046022058 = 4.6%

now the present value of the annuity in 6 years = $1,900,000 x (annuity factor, 4.6%, 40 periods) = $1,900,000 x 18.14185 = $34,469,515

then we must find the present value = $34,469,515 / 1.046 = $32,953,647.23

the total value of your prize = $32,953,647.23 + $5,500,000 = $38,453,647.23

Explanation:

Because Shifter paid $5,000 more for the treasury stock than its fair value: 1,000 shares × ($20 − $15). The $2,000 fee (1,000 × $2) offsets that loss yielding a net loss of $3,000
