Ginger is a United States citizen who paid the following foreign income taxes: $10,000 tax paid to England on consulting fee income $5,000 tax paid to Spain on earned income for which she claims the foreign earned income exclusion $1,000 tax paid to France for which she claims the foreign housing exclusion These were Ginger's only sources of income during the year. Her U.S. tax liability was $23,000. What amount of foreign tax credit can she claim on her return
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
Ginger has to choose between claiming a tax credit of a deduction for income taxes paid to foreign countries. She has already claimed a $5,000 foreign income exclusion (for taxes paid in Spain), and she has already made the deduction for the $1,000 paid in taxes to France. She can also claim a deduction for the $10,000 paid in taxes to England.
Since she already claimed tax deductions, she can no longer claim a tax credit, it is either one or the other.

If, over a given period, the index of export prices rises by 10% and the index of import prices rises by 5%, the terms of trade are: 110 x 100 / 105 = 104.8 This means that the terms of trade have improved by 4.8%. When the terms of trade rise above 100 they are said to be improving and when they fall below 100 they are said to be worsening. If a country's terms of trade improve, it means that for every unit of exports sold it can buy less units of imported goods.
A) True
B) False
Answer:
B) False
Explanation:
When the terms of trade improve, it means that a country is actually selling more goods and services to foreign countries than the total amount of goods and services it is importing from foreign countries. For every dollar that a country is exporting, it is importing less than 1 dollar. But this improvement in the terms of trade will actually result in an appreciation of the domestic currency. This means that for every dollar that you export, you will be able to import more goods from foreign countries.

He expects to be able to sell the cabinet for $360. Cole discovers that he needs to do an additional $200 worth of work to make the cabinet worth $360 to potential buyers. He could also sell the cabinet now, without completing the additional work, for $100. What should Cole do
Answer:
Cole should complete the additional work and sell the cabinet for $360.
Explanation:
If Cole sells the cabinet now for $100 and taken into account that he has already spent $180, this means that:
$100-$180= -$80
He would be losing $80.
On the other side, if he completes the additional work, he would sell the cabinet $360. However, his expenses would be:
$180+$200= $380
Now, you have to subtract the costs from the selling price:
$360-$380= -$20
This means that he would lose $20.
According to that, Cole should complete the additional work because he would be lose less money.

You need to have $30,250 in 17 in years. You can earn an annual interest rate of 4 percent for the first 5 years, 4.6 percent for the next 4 years, and 5.3 percent for the final 8 years. how much do you have to deposit today?
Answer:
The amount that has to be deposited today is $6205.63
Explanation:
The given parameters are;
The annual interest rate for the first 5 years = 4 percent
The annual interest rate for the next 4 years = 4.6 percent
The annual interest rate for the final 8 years = 5.3 percent
Let the amount deposited be X, we have;
X × (1 + 0.04)⁵ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ + X × (1 + 0.04)⁵×(1.046)⁴ ×(1.053)⁸ = $30,250
X ((1.04)^5 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 + (1 + 0.04)^5×(1.046)^4 ×(1.053)^8) = $30,250
X × 4.875 = $30,250
X = $30,250/$4.875 = $6205.63
The amount that has to be deposited today = $6205.63.

SUBMIT
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. Low redemption rates.
Explanation:
Couponing is the situation whereby discount in form of Coupons are offered to customers over a specific product that is on sale. It is similar to product discount other than the fact that, the discount is based on the coupon card.
The disadvantage of offering coupons is that you would be giving a discount to people who would buy your products even without them anyway thereby leading to low redemption rate. This can be costly and also increases the risk of incurring losses.
Answer:
Low redemption rates.
Explanation:
Couponing is a kind of promotion used by businesses in giving discounts to their customers for products purchased. it is done using coupon cards.
Low redemption rate simply means the number of people that make use of the coupon card in purchases as a percentage of number of coupon cards distributed. The implications of low redemption rates as a disadvantage of couponing means lower sales for the business and this could consequently cause losses as this indicates that promotion was not effective. In other words, low sales using coupons increases cost to company lowering profit and maybe causing losses

Adams is selling his property to Katter for $94,000, and Katter is assuming an existing mortgage at 4-1/2% interest per annum with the unpaid balance of $9,200. Mortgage payments are due the first of each month and include interest up to but NOT including the day of payment. The last payment was made March 1, and settlement is to be March 26. Compute the interest proration that will be credited to the buyer using a 365-day year, and holding the buyer responsible for the day of closing.
Answer:
$69.53
Explanation:
loan's balance = $94,000
interest expense per year = $94,000 x 4.5% = $4,230
interest expense per day = $4,230 / 365 = $11.5890411
the seller is responsible for 25 days of interest = 25 x $11.5890411 = $289.73
the buyer is responsible for 6 days of interest = 6 x $11.5890411 = $69.53

A company offers ID theft protection using leads obtained from client banks. Three employees work 40 hours a week on the leads, at a pay rate of $13 per hour per employee. Each employee identifies an average of 3,500 potential leads a week from a list of 4,900. An average of 8 percent of potential leads actually sign up for the service, paying a one-time fee of $90. Material costs are $1,500 per week, and overhead costs are $9,000 per week.Calculate the multifactor productivity for this operation in fees generated per dollar of input. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Multifactor productivity
Answer:
6.27
Explanation:
The computation of Multifactor productivity is shown below:-
Multifactor productivity = (Potential leads × Number of workers × Fees × Conversion percentage) ÷ (Labor cost + Material cost + Overhead cost)
= (3,500 × 3 × $90 × 0.08) ÷ ((3 × 40 × $13) + $1,500 + $9,000)
= $75,600 ÷ $12,060
= 6.27
Therefore for computing the multifactor productivity we simply applied the above formula.
