Lemon Ltd. offers executive training seminars using, in part, recorded lectures of a well-known speaker. The agreement calls for Lemon to pay a royalty for the use of the lectures. The lecturer's agent offers Lemon two options. The first option is revenue-based and Lemon agrees to pay 25 percent of its revenues to the speaker. The second option is a flat rate of $358,800 annually for the use of the lectures in these seminars. The royalty agreement will run one year and the royalty option chosen cannot be changed during the agreement. All other royalty terms are the same.
Lemon charges $1,600 for the seminar and the variable costs for the seminar (excluding any royalty) is $400. Annual fixed costs (excluding any royalties) are $538,200.
Required:
a. What is the annual break-even level assuming:
b. At what annual volume would the operating profit be the same regardless of the royalty option chosen?
c. Assume an annual volume of 1,500 seminars. What is the operating leverage assuming:
d. Assume an annual volume of 1,500 seminars. What is the margin of safety assuming:

3. Relationship between tax revenues, deadweight loss, and demandelasticity
The government is considering levying a tax of $100 per unit on suppliers of either leather jackets or smartphones. The supply curve for each of these two goods is identical, as you can see on each of the following graphs. The demand for leather jackets is shown by DLDL (on the first graph), and the demand for smartphones is shown by DSDS (on the second graph).
Suppose the government taxes leather jackets. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good. It also shows the supply curve (S+TaxS+Tax) shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($100 per jacket).
On the following graph, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for leather jackets. Then use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax.

Instead, suppose the government taxes smartphones. The following graph shows the annual supply and demand for this good, as well as the supply curve shifted up by the amount of the proposed tax ($100 per phone).
On the following graph, do for smartphones the same thing you did previously on the graph for leather jackets. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area that represents tax revenue for smartphones. Then, use the black triangle (plus symbols) to shade the area that represents the deadweight loss associated with the tax.

Complete the following table with the tax revenue collected and deadweight loss caused by each of the tax proposals.

Tax Revenue |

|---|---|---|

(Dollars) |
|
| Leather jackets at $100 per jacket | ||
| Smartphones at $100 per phone |
Suppose the government wants to tax the good that will generate more tax revenue at a lower welfare cost. In this case, it should tax because, all else held constant, taxing a good with a relatively elastic demand generates larger tax revenue and smaller deadweight loss.

Terms of a lease agreement and related facts were as follows:
Required:
Prepare the appropriate entries for the lessor to record the lease,
the initial payment at its beginning, and at the December 31 fiscal
year-end under each of the following three independent
assumptions:

paid $124,000 to acquire the asset (operating lease).
2. The lease term is six years and the lessor paid
$124,000 to acquire the asset (sales-type lease). Also assume that
adjusting the lease receivable (net investment) by initial direct
costs reduces the effective rate of interest to 9%.

$97,000 to acquire the asset (sales-type lease).

(2 pts) Accrual Based Accounting: Prepaid expenses – Depreciation of Fixed Assets. Moving On, Inc. purchases a new moving truck (e.g. ‘equipment’) for $56,000 on October 1st, 2017. At the time of its purchase, the truck is expected to be used in operations for 4 years and will have no resale or scrap value at the end of its life. Assume Moving On, Inc. uses straight-line depreciation (i.e. the asset depreciates evenly) over the expected life of the truck.
Record the journal entry for the original purchase of the truck that occurs on October 1st, 2017.
Record the adjusting entry to recognize Depreciation Expense on December 31, 2017.
What will the ending balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account be on December 31, 2018 (Assume the beginning balance of Accumulated Depreciation on January 1st, 2017 is $0 and Moving On, Inc. has no other assets that depreciate)?
What will the net book value of the truck be on December 31, 2018?
