Katie, a single taxpayer, is a shareholder in Engineers One, a civil engineering company. This year, Katies share of net business income from Engineers One is $200,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction). Assume that Katies allocation of wages paid by Engineers One to its employees is $300,000 and her allocation of Engineers Ones qualified property is $150,000 (unadjusted basis of equipment, all purchased within past three years). Assume Katie has no other business income and no capital gains or qualified dividends. Her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $400,000. Required: A. Calculate Katies deduction for qualified business income. B. Assume the same facts provided above, except Katies net business income from Engineers One is $400,000 (net of the associated for AGI self-employment tax deduction), and her taxable income before the deduction for qualified business income is $350,000.

Eaton Tires manufactures tires for dune buggies and has two different products, nubby tires and smooth tires. The company produces 5,000 nubby tires and 10,000 smooth tires each year and incurs $172,000 of overhead costs. The following information is available: Activity Total Cost Cost Driver Materials handling $60,000 Number of requisitions Machine setups 55,000 Number of setups Quality inspections 57,000 Number of inspections For the nubby tires, the company has 400 requisitions, 200 setups, and 200 inspections. The smooth tires require 600 requisitions, 300 setups, and 400 inspections. Determine the overhead rate for each activity.
Combat Fire, Inc. manufactures steel cylinders and nozzles for two models of fire extinguishers: (1) a home fire extinguisher and (2) a commercial fire extinguisher. The home model is a high-volume (54,000 units), half-gallon cylinder that holds 2 1/2 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 480 PSI. The commercial model is a low-volume (10,200 units), two-gallon cylinder that holds 10 pounds of multi-purpose dry chemical at 390 PSI. Both products require 1.5 hours of direct labor for completion. Therefore, total annual direct labor hours are 96,300 or [1.5 hours (54,000 + 10,200)]. Expected annual manufacturing overhead is $1,570,706. Thus, the predetermined overhead rate is $16.31 or ($1,570,706 96,300) per direct labor hour. The direct materials cost per unit is $18.50 for the home model and $26.50 for the commercial model. The direct labor cost is $19 per unit for both the home and the commercial models.The companys managers identified six activity cost pools and related cost drivers and accumulated overhead by cost pool as follows.

Play now? Play later?You can become a millionaire! That's what the junk mail said. But then there was the fine print:If you act before midnight tonight, then here are you chances: 0.1% that you receive $1,000,000;75% that you get nothing, otherwise you must PAY $5000.But wait, there's more! If you don't win the million AND you don't have to pay on your first attempt thenyou can choose to play one more time.If you do, then we 20X your probability of winning big - yes, you will hava a 2% chance ofreceiving $100,000 and 60% chance of winning $7500, but must pay $10,000 otherwise.What is your expected outcome for attempting this venture? Solve this problem usinga decision tree and clearly show all calculations and the expected value at each node.Answer these questions:1) should you play at all? (5%) And if so, what is my expected (net) monitary value? (10%)2) If you play and don't win at all on the first try (but don't lose money), should you try again? (5%) Why? (5%)3) clearly show the decision tree (40%) and expected net monitary value at each node (25%)
