• The revised MACRS allows a corporation to gradually reduce the mortgage balance of such depreciating assets.
• In the initial years, MACRS permits accelerated depreciation but then slows down the process. This is advantageous for businesses from a taxation perspective.

Now,

The cost recovery deduction is calculated as:

=

Substituting the values gives us

Espinoza Company

The activity rate for the order fulfillment cost pool:

Expenses associated with fulfilling orders divided by the number of orders

= $130,500/3,500

= $37.29 per order

Explanation:

a) Relevant data and calculations:

Overhead expenses:

Salaries and wages: 220,000

Other expenses: 150,000

Total: $510,000

Distribution of resource usage:

Filling Orders Activity Cost Pools

                                    Filling Orders  Customer Support  Other  Total

Wages and salaries             35%                      55%              10%     100%

Other expenses                  35%                    50%              15%     100%

Fulfilling orders: 3,500 orders

Customer support: 15 customers

Overhead Allocation:

                              Filling Orders  Customer    Other        Total

                                                       Support

Salaries and wages: $77,000        $121,000      $22,000     $220,000

Other expenses:        $53,500           $75,000        $22,500        $150,000

Total:                       $130,500       $196,000      $44,500     $370,000

The activity rate for fulfilling orders is determined as $130,500/3,500, giving $37.29 per order.

Activity Based Costing (ABC) is a costing method that uses activity pools to gather and allocate overhead expenses based on the level of engagement for each activity pool.

Answer:

The calculations are presented below:

Explanation:

1.                       FIFO    LIFO Average cost  

Cost of goods sold      

Beginning inventory       $11,200      $11,200  $11,200

(400 units ×  $28)                          

Purchases                       $16,625    $16,625   $16,625

(475 units × 35)                  

Total goods available $27,825    $27,825   $27,825  

Ending inventory             $18,025    $15,575    $16,695

(525 units)  

Cost of goods sold          $9,800    $12,250    $11,130  

Calculated using ending inventory = 475 × $35 + 50 × $28    

FIFO = $18,025  

For LIFO ending inventory: 400 × $28 + 125 × $35

Results in $15,575  

Average cost is found by: $27,825 ÷ $875    

Which equals 31.8      

Ending inventory is calculated as 525 × 31.8

This leads to $16,695

2.                           FIFO            LIFO         Average

Sales

(307 × $50)                $15,350         $15,350    $15,350

Cost of goods sold     $9,800    $12,250    $11,130

Gross Profit                 $5,550           $3,100      $4,220

Expenses                     $1,680           $1,680      $1,680

Net income                  $3,870           $1,420       $2,540

3. FIFO ranks as 3

LIFO ranks as 2

Average ranks as 1

Answer:

$5,000 Schedule A (Itemized Deductions)

Explanation:

Solution

Recall that:

George's total income amounts to =$5000

Property taxes equal =$3000

Operating costs are =$1500

Depreciation amounts to =$800

Now

Typically, according to the IRS guidelines, expenses incurred from a hobby are only allowable to the extent of the income generated by that hobby. Since a hobby is for personal enjoyment rather than profit, it cannot be classified as business profit and loss

Thus, George's deductible expense for the year totals $5,000 and should be reported on Schedule A (Itemized Deductions).
