(a) What is net operating income? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

(b) By what percentage did the net operating income increase?

5. Thad Morgan, a motorcycle enthusiast, has been exploring the possibility of relaunching the Western Hombre brand of cycle that was popular in the 1930s. The retro-look cycle would be sold for $13,000 and at that price, Thad estimates 200 units would be sold each year. The variable cost to produce and sell the cycles would be $9,100 per unit. The annual fixed cost would be $390,000.

a. What is the break-even in unit sales?

b. What is the margin of safety in dollars?

c. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Thad is worried about the selling price. Rumors are circulating that other retro brands of cycles may be revived. If so, the selling price for the Western Hombre would have to be reduced to $10,500 to compete effectively. In that event, Thad would also reduce fixed expenses to $363,000 by reducing advertising expenses, but he still hopes to sell 200 units per year.

d. What would the net operating income be in this situation? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

The estate tax in the United States is a progressive tax on the estate of a...

The estate tax in the United States is a progressive tax on the estate of a deceased person before their property (real estate, stocks and bonds, business interests, etc.) is transferred to their heirs. In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt proposed a federal estate tax, saying, "The man of great wealth owes a particular obligation to the State because he derives special advantages from the mere existence of government." The estate tax was passed in the Emergency Revenue Act of 1916 in preparation for WWI. The first estate tax was imposed on the value of an estate over $50,000 (roughly $850,000 in today’s dollars) at a graduated rate of one to five percent.

The debate surrounding the estate tax has existed in many forms since Teddy Roosevelt's proposal. It has become especially heated in recent years with the rise of an anti-estate tax movement. This movement really began in 1993 when a group of wealthy families, under the lead of the Mars family, began a Washington lobbying campaign against what they would soon term the "death tax" because of its political advantages. While the debate is often framed only as a class-war debate (with the wealthy being seen as the potential benefactors of a ban and the poor the losers), it also encompasses other questions that are unrelated to class and wealth. The effect on the US fiscal budget is one consideration that is particularly heavily debated with some estimating the costs in the hundreds of billions of dollars and other estimating much lower costs. This question is particularly sensitive in the context of another debate on the extent of any fiscal problems in the US which would also effect thinking on the ability of the US to absorb tax revenue losses of any kind. Another question surrounds the extent of economic impacts. One particularly extensively debated topic among scholars and politicians alike is how estate taxes affect wealthy savings rates and corresponding levels of consumption and economic generation.

Is the estate tax unfair to the wealthy? Why or why not?

Could you argue that the assessing the estate tax constitutes “double taxation”?

Do you believe that having or not having the estate tax really matters economically in the big picture?

Do you think that removing the estate tax would reduce what individuals pass on to charity?

Would getting rid of the estate tax be an irresponsible thing to do?

How does the estate tax in the United States compare to that of other countries?

Jackpot Mining Company operates a copper mine in central Montana. The company paid $1,650,000 in 2018 for the mining site and spent an additional $730,000 to prepare the mine for extraction of the copper. After the copper is extracted in approximately four years, the company is required to restore the land to its original condition, including repaving of roads and replacing a greenbelt. The company has provided the following three cash flow possibilities for the restoration costs (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.):

Cash Outflow Probability
1 $ 430,000 15%
2 530,000 45%
3 730,000 40%


To aid extraction, Jackpot purchased some new equipment on July 1, 2018, for $260,000. After the copper is removed from this mine, the equipment will be sold for an estimated residual amount of $34,000. There will be no residual value for the copper mine. The credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest is 12%.

The company expects to extract 11.3 million pounds of copper from the mine. Actual production was 2.9 million pounds in 2018 and 4.3 million pounds in 2019.

Required:
1. Compute depletion and depreciation on the mine and mining equipment for 2018 and 2019. The units-of-production method is used to calculate depreciation.
