The actual 1040 form filled out.

Tax Return Problem Lance H. and Wanda B. Dean are married and live at 431 Yucca Drive, Santa Fe, NM 87501. Lance works for the convention bureau of the local Chamber of Commerce, while Wanda is employed part-time as a paralegal for a law firm.

During 2016, the Deans had the following receipts:

Salaries ($60,000 for Lance, $41,000 for Wanda) $101,000
Interest income—
 City of Albuquerque general purpose bonds $1,000
 Ford Motor company bonds 1,100
 Ally Bank certificate of deposit 400 2,500
Child support payments from John Allen 7,200
Annual gifts from parents 26,000
Settlement from Roadrunner Touring Company 90,000
Lottery winnings 600
Federal income tax refund (for tax year 2015) 400

Wanda was previously married to John Allen. When they divorced several years ago, Wanda was awarded custody of their two children, Penny and Kyle. (Note: Wanda has never issued a Form 8332 waiver.) Under the divorce decree, John was obligated to pay alimony and child support—the alimony payments were to terminate if Wanda remarried.

In July, while going to lunch in downtown Santa Fe, Wanda was injured by a tour bus. As the driver was clearly at fault, the owner of the bus, Roadrunner Touring Company, paid her medical expenses (including a one-week stay in a hospital). To avoid a lawsuit, Roadrunner also transferred $90,000 to her in settlement of the personal injuries she sustained.

The Deans had the following expenditures for 2016:

Medical expenses (not covered by insurance) $7,200
Taxes—
 Property taxes on personal residence $3,600
 State of New Mexico income tax (includes amount withheld from wages during 2016) 4,200 7,800
Interest on home mortgage (First National Bank) 6,000
Paid church pledge 3,600
Life insurance premiums (policy on Lance's life) 1,200
Contribution to traditional IRA (on Wanda's behalf) 5,000
Traffic fines 300
Contribution to the reelection campaign fund of the mayor of Santa Fe 500
Funeral expenses for Wayne Boyle 6,300

The life insurance policy was taken out by Lance several years ago and designates Wanda as the beneficiary. As a part-time employee, Wanda is excluded from coverage under her employer's pension plan. Consequently, she provides for her own retirement with a traditional IRA obtained at a local trust company. Because the mayor is a member of the local Chamber of Commerce, Lance felt compelled to make the political contribution.

The Deans' household includes the following, for whom they provide more than half of the support:

Social Security Number Birth Date
Lance Dean (age 42) 123-45-6786 12/16/1974
Wanda Dean (age 40) 123-45-6787 08/08/1976
Penny Allen (age 19) 123-45-6788 10/09/1997
Kyle Allen (age 17) 123-45-6789 05/03/1999
Wayne Boyle (age 75) 123-45-6785 06/15/1941

Penny graduated from high school on May 9, 2016, and is undecided about college. During 2016, she earned $8,500 (placed in a savings account) playing a harp in the lobby of a local hotel. Wayne is Wanda's widower father who died on January 20, 2016. For the past few years, Wayne qualified as a dependent of the Deans.

Federal income tax withheld is $5,200 (Lance) and $3,100 (Wanda). The proper amount of Social Security and Medicare tax was withheld.

Determine the Federal income tax for 2016 for the Deans on a joint return by completing the appropriate forms. They do not want to contribute to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund. All members of the family had health care coverage for all of 2016. If an overpayment results, it is to be refunded to them. Suggested software: H&R BLOCK Tax Software.

In certain textile finishing processes, the moving strip is passed through a moistening chamber to be moistened and softened. The relative humidity in the chamber is maintained at a high level by air circulates. The system layout is illustrated in the figure shown below. A resistive hygrometer (humidity transducer) measures the relative humidity in the chamber.

The electronic circuit used to monitor the humidity transducer (hygrometer) output is shown in the figure below.

The resistive hygrometer is represented by resistor R3, which must be excited by an ac voltage (a dc current would chemically polarize the sensor over time). This transducer has resistance characteristics that vary exponentially with the relative humidity; important data for this textile processing application are as follows:

                                    Relative Humidity          Resistance, R3

                                                50 %                            35 kΩ

                                                60 %                            15 kΩ

                                                70 %                            7.5 kΩ

                                                80 %                            3.5 kΩ

                                                90 %                            2.0 kΩ

Description of the Situation and the Assumptions

1. Input transformer with 115-V (rms) input and a 10.0-V (rms) output (on secondary).

2. Resistance bridge with the humidity sensor R3 located in one branch.

3. Full-wave rectifier connects to the resistance bridge output, Vbridge

4. Capacitance C1 (with bleeder resistance R5) filters the diode-bridge output to dc.

5. Op amp circuit amplifies the input Vin (capacitor voltage) to an output Vout to be monitored.

Goal of the Design Project

Analyze the circuit operation for a range of relative humidity measurements (50% to 90%) to determine the circuit component requirements.

1. Input transformer

Determine the required transformer turns ratio N1/N2 and the maximum input rms current (in the primary windings) during the operation of measuring 50% to 90% humidity.

2. Resistance bridge

Determine the maximum rms voltage Vbridge (this occurs at 50% humidity measurement).

3. Diode bridge

Determine the maximum peak inverse voltage across each diode and the maximum forward current for each diode. These two values will help specify the what size diodes to use in the diode bridge. Assume 0.6 V drop across each conducting diode.

4. Filter capacitor

Determine the maximum dc voltage that will occur on the filter capacitor (this occurs at 50% humidity measurement). The capacitor used must be rated 50% greater than this maximum occurring voltage.

5. Output op amp voltage

Determine op amp output voltage for each humidity measurement: 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90%. List your results as sets of numbers; no need to plot the results.

Students should select one of the steps in the accounting cycle (process) and explain what occurs in that step and the importance of what the accounting step is. For example, students may select the preparation of the adjusted trial balance and explain how it is prepared and why the adjusted trial balance is prepared.
