Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.5P
Bonus compensation; algebra
• LO13–3
Sometimes compensation packages include bonuses designed to provide performance incentives to employees. The difficulty a bonus can cause accountants is not an accounting problem, but a math problem. The complication is that the bonus formula sometimes specifies that the calculation of the bonus is based in part on the bonus itself. This occurs any time the bonus is a percentage of income because expenses are components of income, and the bonus is an expense.
Regalia Fashions has an incentive compensation plan through which a division manager receives a bonus equal to 10% of the division’s net income. Division income in 2018 before the bonus and income tax was $150,000. The tax rate is 30%.
Required:
- 1. Express the bonus formula as one or more algebraic equation(s).34
- 2. Using these formulas, calculate the amount of the bonus.
- 3. Prepare the
adjusting entry to record the bonus compensation. - 4. Bonus arrangements take many forms. Suppose the bonus specifies that the bonus is 10% of the division’s income before tax, but after the bonus itself. Calculate the amount of the bonus.
