Concept explainers
Variable Cost: Variable cost is the cost that changes when the volume of production changes, in the same direction and in the same proportion.
Fixed Cost: Fixed cost is the cost that remains constant irrespective of changes in the production volume.
Scattergraph: A scattergraph is a graph or a chart that represents the relationship between two variables for a given set of data.
Least-squares regression: The least-squares regression is a statistical tool to estimate the production costs. The least-squares regression uses an equation to graph the fixed and variable costs along with the regression line.
- Prepare scattergraph using the data given and comments on insights of scattergraph.
- Using the least-squares regression estimates the fixed cost and variable components of
overhead expenses and cost formula overhead expenses. - At standard price of $31 per guest, estimate the contribution profit of a standard 180-guest cocktail party.
- Calculate the bid price per guest for the charity event at no loss terms.
- Decide whether Chavez should bid below price of $31 per guest price or not.

Sanjay’s marginal tax rate is 24 percent and the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. Sanjay’s marginal tax rate on individual capital gains and dividends is 15 percent. HOS will pay out its after-tax earnings every year to either its members or its shareholders. If HOS is taxed as an S corporation, the business income allocation would qualify for the deduction for qualified business income (assume no limitations on the deduction). Assume Sanjay does not owe any additional Medicare tax or net investment income tax. Required 1. For each scenario, C corporation and S corporation, calculate the total tax (entity level and owner level). 2. For each scenario, C corporation and S corporation, calculate the effective tax rate.
