Millco, Inc., acquired a machine that cost $544,000 early in 2016. The machine is expected to last for eighth years, and its estimated salvage value at the end of its life is $75,000. Required:

a. Using straight-line depreciation, calculate the depreciation expense to be recognized in the first year of the machine's life and calculate the accumulated depreciation after the fifth year of the machine's life. Depreciation expense Accumulated depreciation

b. Using declining-balance depreciation at twice the straight-line rate, calculate the depreciation expense for the third year of the machine's life.

c. What will be the net book value of the machine at the end of its eighth year of use before it is disposed of, under each depreciation method? Straight-line depreciation Declining-balance depreciation

"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the landowner who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work. 3 "At nine o'clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing. 4 So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. 5 So they went to work in the vineyard. At noon and again at three o'clock he did the same thing.

6 "At five o'clock that afternoon he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, 'Why haven't you been working today?' 7 "They replied, 'Because no one hired us.' "The landowner told them, 'Then go out and join the others in my vineyard.' 8 "That evening he told the foreman to call the workers in and pay them, beginning with the last workers first. 9 When those hired at five o'clock were paid, each received a full day's wage. 10 When those hired first came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they, too, were paid a day's wage. 11 When they received their pay, they protested to the owner, 12 'Those people worked only one hour, and yet you've paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.'

13 "He answered one of them, 'Friend, I haven't been unfair! Didn't you agree to work all day for the usual wage? 14 Take your money and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. 15 Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be jealous because I am kind to others?' 16 "So those who are last now will be first then, and those who are first will be last."

1. Have you ever heard or used the phrase "sometimes life isn't fair". If there was ever a time to use it in the Bible, it would be this passage. This week you will learn about payroll. Every organization has clear policies and procedures about banking and payroll. However, sometimes policies and procedures can conflict with Kingdom living. Can you think of an example of this? Has God ever prompted your heart to give to someone more than was required?
2. Have you heard this saying, "Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone"? What does it mean to you?

Choose one feature of the early Ottoman or Safavid Empires and highlight that feature. It could be anything from the origins of the founders of the empire, to the pattern of conquest, to the institutions or style of rule, to social or cultural history. discuss how the feature is significant in the development of this empire. How does the feature help or hurt the Ottomans or the Safavids to resist the challenges of the changing world balance of power at the time, especially the rise of European power?

In the early part of 2018, the partners of Hugh, Jacobs, and Thomas sought assistance from a local accountant. They had begun a new business in 2017 but had never used an accountant’s services.

Hugh and Jacobs began the partnership by contributing $70,000 and $20,000 in cash, respectively. Hugh was to work occasionally at the business, and Jacobs was to be employed full-time. They decided that year-end profits and losses should be assigned as follows:

• Each partner was to be allocated 10 percent interest computed on the beginning capital balances for the period.
• A compensation allowance of $5,000 was to go to Hugh with a $15,000 amount assigned to Jacobs.
• Any remaining income would be split on a 4:6 basis to Hugh and Jacobs, respectively.

In 2017, revenues totaled $95,000, and expenses were $75,000 (not including the partners’ compensation allowance). Hugh withdrew cash of $5,000 during the year, and Jacobs took out $10,000. In addition, the business paid $5,500 for repairs made to Hugh’s home and charged it to repair expense.

On January 1, 2018, the partnership sold a 30 percent interest to Thomas for $70,000 cash. This money was contributed to the business with the bonus method used for accounting purposes.

1. What journal entries should the partnership have recorded on December 31, 2017?

2. What journal entry should the partnership have recorded on January 1, 2018?

Harmer Inc. is now a successful company. In the early days (before it became profitable), it issued ISOs to its employees. Now Harmer is trying to decide whether to issue NQOs or ISOs to its employees. Initially, Harmer would like to give each employee 20 options (each option allows the employee to acquire one share of Harmer stock). For purposes of this problem, assume that the options are exercised in three years (three years from now) and that the underlying stock is sold in five years (five years from now). Assume that taxes are paid at the same time the income generating the tax is recognized. Also assume the following facts: (Leave no answer blank. Enter zero if applicable.) The after-tax discount rate for both Harmer Inc. and its employees is 10 percent. The Corporate tax rate is 21 percent. The Personal (employee) ordinary income rate is 37 percent. The Personal (employee) long-term capital gains rate is 20 percent. The Exercise price of the options is $7. The Market price of Harmer at date of grant is $5. The Market price of Harmer at date of exercise is $25. The Market price of Harmer at date of sale is $35. Answer the following questions: Problem 12-32 Part a a. Considering these facts, which type of option plan, NQO or ISO, should Harmer Inc. prefer?

b. Assuming Harmer issues NQOs, what is Harmer’s tax benefit from the options for each employee in the year each employee exercises the NQOs? (Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

e. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive ISOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)

f. What is the present value of each employee’s after-tax cash flows from year 1 through year 5 if the employees receive NQOs? Use Exhibit 3.1. (Round your intermediate calculations and final anwser to 2 decimal places.)
g. How many NQOs would Harmer have to grant to keep its employees indifferent between NQOs and 20 ISOs? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round up your final answer to the next whole number.)

Early Adulthood Discussion

Welcome to NOW is many of your lives - and some of us have passed this point..

I want to talk about relationships - Please refer to the videos and the chapter for context to describe why relationships are so important.

Please ask and answer a question from your group's perspective on the issues during this time of your lives!!

(Personal examples really do make a difference here!)

-In the early seasons of Breaking Bad, Walt and Jessie can frequently be seen testing the pH of their downstream product using commercially available indicators intended for pool water testing. When might it be advantageous to use an indicator vs a pH electrode?

-A student tested a solution with a pH meter and recorded the pH to be 7.43. Calculate the [H3O+] and [OH-] for this solution. (Show your work!)
