Suppose that Ramos contributes $5500/year into a traditional IRA earning interest at the rate of 5%/year compounded annually, every year after age 37 until his retirement at age 67. At the same time, his wife Vanessa deposits $3850/year (the amount after paying taxes at the rate of 30%) into a Roth IRA earning interest at the same rate as that of Ramos. Suppose that Ramos withdraws his investment upon retirement at age 67 and that his investment is then taxed at 30%. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
(a)How much will Ramos's investment be worth (after taxes) at that time?
(b)How much will Vanessa's investment be worth at that time?

Problem 21-1
Monty Leasing Company agrees to lease machinery to Flounder
Corporation on January 1, 2017. The following information relates
to the lease agreement.
| 1. | The term of the lease is 7 years with no renewal option, and the machinery has an estimated economic life of 9 years. | |
| 2. | The cost of the machinery is $541,000, and the fair value of the asset on January 1, 2017, is $760,000. | |
| 3. | At the end of the lease term, the asset reverts to the lessor and has a guaranteed residual value of $90,000. Flounder depreciates all of its equipment on a straight-line basis. | |
| 4. | The lease agreement requires equal annual rental payments, beginning on January 1, 2017. | |
| 5. | The collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably predictable, and there are no important uncertainties surrounding the amount of costs yet to be incurred by the lessor. | |
| 6. | Monty desires a 10% rate of return on its investments. Flounder’s incremental borrowing rate is 11%, and the lessor’s implicit rate is unknown. |
(Assume the accounting period ends on December 31.)
Part 1:
Calculate the amount of the annual rental payment required.
(Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal

Part 2:
Compute the present value of the minimum lease payments.
(Round present value factor calculations to 5 decimal

Question 2
Your client is a wealthy investor and property owner. Your client provides you with information (as detailed below) about various transactions that took place between 1 July 2019 and 30 June 2020.
1) Warehouse: On 30 April 1985 your client acquired a large parcel of vacant land at Rocklea, a suburb in Brisbane with a significant number of commercial buildings. The purchase price was $180,000 and your client incurred $2,000 in legal fees and $18,000 in transfer duty when purchasing the land. In April 2000 your client signed a contract for the construction of a large warehouse on the land. The final construction cost was $1,000,000. The warehouse is used tohouse your client’s extensive motor vehicle collection. Your client signs the contract to sell the warehouse for $2,200,000 on 1 June 2020. Your client receives the proceeds on 1 July 2020. At the time of sale, an independent valuation revealed the land component of the sale price was $1,200,000. Your client paid $80,000 to insure the warehouse building against flood and fire damage.
2) Boat: Your client owned a luxury motor cruiser that was moored at the Manly Yacht Club. Your client used the boat to go fishing over weekends and to cruise the waters of Moreton Bay. Your client purchased the vessel in late 2006 for $140,000 and sells the vessel on 1 June 2020 to a local boat broker for $90,000.

Your client auctions the table on 2 April 2020 and it sells for a record price of $50,000. Your client pays $2,000 in auction fees. Duringyour client’s period of ownership they paid $3,000 to insure the table against loss or damage.
4) Your client also has a capital loss carried forward from the 2017–2018 income year of $10,000.

An order has been received from a chain of yoga studios for 12,000 straps at a special price of $10 per strap. If the special order is accepted, the unit variable manufacturing costs will increase by $0.20 per strap due to the addition of a special label the studio has requested be included on the straps. Additionally, the total fixed product costs will increase by 5%. Variable period costs consist solely of sales commissions, which will not be paid on the special order.

The per unit overhead cost using the 14 activity-based drivers is $1,108 and $779 for Cylinder A and Cylinder B, respectively.
Required:
1. Determine the percentage of total costs represented by the three most expensive activities.
%
2. If required, round your interim calculations
and final answers to the nearest dollar.
Allocate the costs of all other activities to the three activities
identified in Requirement 1 in proportion to their individual
activity costs.
| Allocation | |
| Welding | $ |
| Machining | $ |
| Setups | $ |
Calculate the total activity costs of all the three activities.

| Welding | $ |
| Machining | $ |
| Setups | $ |
| Activity Rates | ||
| Welding | $ | per welding hour |
| Machining | $ | per machine hour |
