Part B—August Budgets

During July of the current year, the management of Genuine Spice Inc. asked the controller to prepare August manufacturing and income statement budgets. Demand was expected to be 1,500 cases at $100 per case for August. Inventory planning information is provided as follows:

Finished Goods Inventory:

Case Cost
Estimated finished goods inventory, August 1, 2016 300 $12,000
Desired finished goods inventory, August 31, 2016 175 7,000

Materials Inventory:

Cream Base

Bottles
(bottles)
Estimated materials inventory, August 1, 2016 250 290 600
Desired materials inventory, August 31, 2016 1,000 360 240

There was negligible work in process inventory assumed for either the beginning or end of the month; thus, none was assumed. In addition, there was no change in the cost per unit or estimated units per case operating data from January.

Roberta Santos, age 41, is single and lives at 120 Sanborne Avenue, Springfield, IL 60781. Her...

Roberta Santos, age 41, is single and lives at 120 Sanborne Avenue, Springfield, IL 60781. Her Social Security number is 123-45-6789. Roberta has been divorced from her former husband, Wayne, for three years. She has a son, Jason, who is 17, and a daughter, June, who is 18. Jason's Social Security number is 111-11-1112, and June's is 123-45-6788. Roberta does not want to contribute $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund.

Roberta, an advertising executive, earned a salary from ABC Advertising of $80,000 in 2016. Her employer withheld $9,000 in Federal income tax and $3,100 in state income tax.

Roberta has legal custody of Jason and June. The divorce decree provides that Roberta is to receive the dependency deductions for the children. Jason lives with his father during summer vacation. Wayne indicates that his expenses for Jason are $10,500. Roberta can document that she spent $6,500 for Jason's support during 2016. In prior years, Roberta gave a signed Form 8332 to Wayne regarding Jason. For 2016, she has decided not to do so. Roberta provides all of June's support.

Roberta's mother died on January 7, 2016. Roberta inherited assets worth $625,000 from her mother. As the sole beneficiary of her mother's life insurance policy, Roberta received insurance proceeds of $300,000. Her mother's cost basis for the life insurance policy was $120,000. Roberta's favorite aunt gave her $13,000 for her birthday in October.

On November 8, 2016, Roberta sells for $22,000 Amber stock that she had purchased for $24,000 from her first cousin, Walt, on December 5, 2011. Walt's cost basis for the stock was $26,000, and the stock was worth $23,000 on December 5, 2011. On December 1, 2016, Roberta sold Falcon stock for $13,500. She had acquired the stock on July 2, 2013, for $8,000.

An examination of Roberta's records reveals that she received the following:

Interest income of $2,500 from First Savings Bank.

Groceries valued at $750 from Kroger Groceries for being the 100,000th customer.

Qualified dividend income of $1,800 from Amber.

Interest income of $3,750 on City of Springfield school bonds.

Alimony of $16,000 from Wayne.

Distribution of $4,800 from ST Partnership. Her distributive share of the partnership passive taxable income was $5,300. She had no prior passive activity losses during 2016.

From her checkbook records, she determines that she made the following payments during 2016:

Charitable contributions of $4,500 to First Presbyterian Church and $1,500 to the American Red Cross (proper receipts obtained).

Paid $5,000 to ECM Hospital for the medical expenses of a friend from work.

Mortgage interest on her residence of $7,800 to Peoples Bank.

Property taxes of $3,200 on her residence and $1,100 (ad valorem) on her car. $800 for landscaping expenses for residence.

Estimated Federal income taxes of $3,800 and estimated state income taxes of $1,000.

Medical expenses of $5,000 for her and $800 for Jason. In December, her medical insurance policy reimbursed $1,500 of her medical expenses.

A $1,000 ticket for parking in a handicapped space.

Attorney’s fees of $500 associated with unsuccessfully contesting the parking ticket.

Contribution of $250 to the campaign of a candidate for governor.

Because she did not maintain records of the sales tax she paid, she calculates the amount from the sales tax table to be $994.

Required:

Calculate Roberta's net tax payable or refund due for 2016.

Enter all amounts as positive numbers. However, use the minus sign to indicate a loss.

If an amount box does not require an entry or the answer is zero, enter "0".

Make realistic assumptions about any missing data.

It may be necessary to complete the tax schedules before completing Form 1040.

When computing the tax liability, do not round your immediate calculations. If required round your final answers to the nearest dollar.

Use the 2016 Tax Rate Schedule provided. Do not use the Tax Tables.

Complete the provided C++ program, by adding the following functions. Use prototypes and put your functions below main.

1. Write a function harmonicMeans that repeatedly asks the user for two int values until at least one of them is 0. For each pair, the function should calculate and display the harmonic mean of the numbers. The harmonic mean of the numbers is the inverse of the average of the inverses. The harmonic mean of x and y can be calculated as harmonic_mean = 2.0 * x * y / (x + y);. Sample output: Enter two integer values: 2 4 The harmonic mean of 2 and 4 is 2.66667 Enter two integer values: 2 6 The harmonic mean of 2 and 6 is 3 Enter two integer values: 2 9 The harmonic mean of 2 and 9 is 3.27273 Enter two integer values: 2 0

2. Write a function named capEs that takes a string reference as a parameter and changes every 'e' character to 'E'. The function should not return a value. Expected output: Hello Ernie! with cap Es: HEllo ErniE! Eeeee Eee Eeee with cap Es: EEEEE EEE EEEE

3. Write a function named binaryToDecimal that accepts an integer parameter whose digits are meant to represent binary (base-2) digits, and returns an integer of that number's representation in decimal (base-10). For example, the call of binaryToDecimal(101011) should return 43. Constraints: Do not use a string in your solution. Do not use any container such as array or vector. Also do not use any built-in base conversion functions from the system libraries.

4. Write a function named removeConsecutiveDuplicates that accepts as a parameter a reference to a vector of integers, and modifies it by removing any consecutive duplicates. For example, if a vector named v stores {1, 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3}, the call of removeConsecutiveDuplicates(v); should modify it to store {1, 2, 3, 2, 3}. Note: to remove an element at index i in a vector named v, use this: v.erase(v.begin() + i);

An electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) can produce a shock of up to 600 V and a current of 1 A for a duration of 2 ms, which is used for hunting and self-defense. To perform this feat, approximately 80% of its body is filled with organs made up by electrocytes. These electrocytes act as self-charging capacitors and are lined up so that a current of ions can easily flow through them.

a) How much charge flows through the electrocytes in that amount of time?
b) If each electrocyte can maintain a potential of 100 mV, how many electrocytes must be in series to produce the maximum shock?
c) How much energy is released when the electric eel delivers a shock?
d) With the given information, estimate the equivalent capacitance of all the electrocyte cells in the electric eel.

2. Suppose that in the U.S., the income velocity of money (V) is constant. Suppose, too, that every year, real GDP grows by 2.5 percent (%∆Y/year = 0.025) and the supply of money grows by 10 percent (%∆M/year = 0.10).

a. According to the Quantity Theory of Money, what would be the growth rate of nominal GDP = P×Y? Hint: %∆(X×Y)  %∆X + %∆Y.

b. In that case, what would be the inflation rate (i.e. %∆P/year)?

c. If the central bank wants the inflation rate to be 0%, what money supply growth rate (i.e. - %∆M per year) should it set?
