Baker is single and earned $225,200 of salary as an employee in 2018. How much should his employer have withheld from his paycheck for FICA taxes? (Rounded to the nearest whole dollar amount)
A) $11,453
B) $10,861
C) $10,415
D) $15,892
Answer: $11,453
Explanation:
In 2008:
FICA-Social Security tax was payable at 6.2% of a limit of $128,400.
FICA-Medicare tax was payable at 1.45% of the total amount of $225,200.
Additional Medicare tax was payable on any amount in excess of $200,000 at 0.9%.
= (6.2% * 128,400) + (225,200 * 1.45%) + ( (225,200 - 200,000) * 0.9%))
= $11,453
Assuming that an investor requires a 10% annual yield over the next twelve years, how much would she be willing to pay for the right to receive $20,000 at the end of year 12?
Answer:
the present value is $6,372.62
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that willing to pay is shown below
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years
$20,000 = Present value × (1 + 0.10)^20
$20,000 = Present value × 3.13842837
So, the present value is
= $20,000 ÷ 3.13842837
= $6,372.62
hence, the present value is $6,372.62
We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

Your Boston-headquartered manufacturing company, Wruck Enterprises, obtained a 54-million-peso loan from a Mexico City bank last month to fund the expansion of your Monterrey, Mexico, plant. The exchange rate was 14 U.S. cents per peso when you took out the loan, but since then the exchange rate has dropped to 7 U.S. cents per peso. Has Wruck Enterprises made a gain or a loss due to the exchange rate change, and how much
Answer: 3.78 million dollars
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount of money that Wruck Enterprises would pay when the exchange rate is 7 US cents per peso would be:
= 54-million × 7 cent
= 378,000,000 cent
= 3.78 million dollars
When the exchange rate was 14 U.S. cents per peso , the amount paid would have been:
= 54 million × 14 cent
= 756,000,000 cent
= 7.56 million dollars
Therefore, Wruck Enterprises made a gain of (7.56 million - 3.78 million) = 3.78 million dollars
Monopoly firms face a. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell only the specific price-quantity combinations that lie on the demand curve. b. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell only a limited quantity of output at each price. c. horizontal demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price. d. downward-sloping demand curves, so they can sell as much output as they desire at the market price.
Answer:
Option d (downward..................................market price) would be the right approach.
Explanation:
The monopoly is attributed to the idea that an organization and therefore its distribution channels control one market or business. Monopolies may be called a social consequence of unlimited access competition and therefore are frequently further used to characterize an organization that had already absolute or relatively close market power.Other options aren't connected to something like the situation in question. So the above alternative seems to be the right one.

A firm has a tax burden of 0.6, a leverage ratio of 1.2, an interest burden of 0.7, and a return-on-sales ratio of 14%. The firm generates $2.64 in sales per dollar of assets. What is the firm's ROE
Answer:
18.63%
Explanation:
Calculation for the firm's ROE
Using this formula for
ROE=(Tax burden)(Leverage ratio)(Interest burden)(Return-on-sales ratio)(Sales per dollar of assets)
Let plug in the formula
ROE = (.6)(1.2)(.7)(.14)(2.64)
ROE=18.63%
Therefore the firm's ROE is 18.63%
The required return on the stock of Moe's Pizza is 10.8 percent and aftertax required return on the company's debt is 3.40 percent. The company's market value capital structure consists of 69 percent equity. The company is considering a new project that is less risky than current operations and it feels the risk adjustment factor is minus 1.9 percent. The tax rate is 39 percent. What is the required return for the new project?
Answer:
6.88%
Explanation:
Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) = [After Tax Cost of Debt * Weight of Debt] + [Cost of equity * Weight of Equity]
WACC = [3.40%*0.39] + [10.80%*0.69)
WACC = [0.034*0.39] + [0.108*0.69)
WACC = 0.01326 + 0.07452
WACC = 0.08778
WACC = 8.78%
The required return for the new project = Weighted Average Cost of Capital – Risk Adjustment Factor
The required return for the new project = 8.78% - 1.90%
The required return for the new project = 6.88%

Answer:Rivalry is the situation where there is competition between markets on determining who gets the customer base or who wins the customers heart.
While excludability could be defined as a situation where goods are limited or exclusive to only customers who pay
Explanation:
Rivalry is the situation where there is competition between markets on determining who gets the customer base or who wins the customers heart.
Excludability could be defined as a situation where goods are limited or exclusive to only customers who pay
-A private good is both a rivalry and excludability good because it includes things such as: food, clothing, or a haircut.
-A public good is neither rival nor excludable, because their often supplied by the government such as national defense.
-A quasi-public good is excludable, including things such as cable, internet, or iPhones.
-A common resource is rival, including things such as forest land.
Lacy set her textbook under her chair in her business law class and then forgot to take it with her when she left the classroom. A janitor later discovered the textbook and gave it to the Dean of the Business College. In this situation:___________.a. the college is a constructive bailee, obligated to return the textbook to Lacy, and until it does, it is liable for harm to the property.b. the college is a bailee by agreement because holding items in a lost and found box is generally part of the college-student agreement when the student enrolls for classes.c. the college is responsible for the discovered textbook because in this situation, the college is subject to implied warranties unless the college has disclaimed such warranties in the student handbook.d. this is a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee.
Answer:
a. the college is a constructive bailee, obligated to return the textbook to Lacy, and until it does, it is liable for harm to the property.
Explanation:
When a party comes into possession of a property not by contractual agreement, they are referred to as constructive bailee and are obligated to take care of the property till it is returned to the owner.
The bailee does not willingly take possession of the property, rather unforseen circumstances leads to them possessing it.
This is common when a person forgets his property in a place.
In the given scenario the college (Dean of Business College) became a constructive bailee when they recieved the misplaced textbook. So they are obligated to care for the textbook till it get back to Lacy or be held liable for any harm done
The East Company manufactures several different products. Unit costs associated with Product ORD105 are as follows: Direct materials $92 Direct manufacturing labor 32 Variable manufacturing overhead 12 Fixed manufacturing overhead 32 Sales commissions (2% of sales) 26 Administrative salaries 6 Total $200 What is the percentage of the total variable costs per unit associated with Product ORD105 with respect to total cost
Answer:
81%
Explanation:
Variable cost per unit = Direct material + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead + Sales commission
Variable cost per unit = $92 + $32 + $12 + $26
Variable cost per unit = $162
Total cost per unit = $200
Percentage of variable cost per unit to Total cost per unit = Variable cost per unit/Total cost per unit = 162/200 = 0.81 = 81%
Chester has negotiated a new labor contract for the next round that will affect the cost for their product Cat. Labor costs will go from $2.90 to $3.40 per unit. Assume all period and variable costs as reported on Chester's Income Statement remain the same. If Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, how many units of product Cat would need to be sold next round to break even on the product
Question Completion:
Assume the following:
Selling price per unit = $54
Current total variable cost = $24.50
Total Fixed Costs = $69,000
Answer:
Chester
To break-even on product Cat, Chester needs to sell 2,379 units instead of 2,339 units.
Explanation:
a) Calculations:
New variable cost will increase by ($3.40 - $2.90)/2 = $0.25
New variable costs will be = $24.75 ($24.50 + $0.25)
Contribution margin per unit = $29.25 ($54 - $24.75)
New fixed costs = $69,000 + ($0.25 * 2,339) = $69,585
Old break-even units = $69,000/$29.50 = 2,339 units
New break-even units = Fixed cost/contribution margin per unit
= $69,585/$29.25
= 2,379 units
b) Chester's break-even point in units is calculated by using the break-even formula: Fixed Costs ÷ (Sales price per unit – Variable costs per unit) or $69,585/$29.25. The variable cost per unit includes only the cost that will be passed to customers. This means that half of the labor cost is regarded as variable, while the other half is taken is fixed cost.
if Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, the number of unit that Cat would need to be sold next round to break even on the product will be 2,379 units.
We are not given some information, so we will assume that "Selling price per unit = $54, Current total variable cost = $24.50, Total Fixed Costs = $69,000"
The new variable cost will increase by:
= ($3.40 - $2.90)/2
= $0.50 / 2
= $0.25
The new variable costs will be:
= Current total variable cost + Increment cost
= $24.50 + $0.25
= $24.75
The contribution margin per unit will be:
= Selling price per unit - New variable costs
= $54 - $24.75
= $29.25
The old break-even units is:
= Old fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $69,000/$29.50
= 2,339 units
The new fixed costs will be:
= Total Fixed Costs + (Increment cost* Old break-even units)
= $69,000 + ($0.25 * 2,339)
= $69,000 + $585
= $69,585
The new break-even units will be
= Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
= $69,585 / $29.25
= 2,379 units.
Therefore, if Chester were to pass on half the new labor costs to their customers, the number of unit that Cat would need to be sold next round to break even on the product will be 2,379 units.

The money demand function for an economy is given by (M/P)d = (0.6Y)/(i1/2). If output is 1,000 units, the nominal interest rate is 9%, and the money supply is $1,200, the price level is _____.
Answer:
$0.6
Explanation:
Nominal interest rate (i) = 9% = 0.09
Output (Y) = 1,000
Money supply(M) = 1,200
==> (M/P)^d = (0.6Y) / i^(1/2)
==> 1200/P = 0.6*1000 / 0.09^(1/2)
==> 1200/P = 600 / 0.3
==> 1200/P = 2000
==> 1200 = 2000 * P
==> P = 1200/2000
==> P = $0.6
Therefore, the price level is $0.6
Economies of scale are associated with:________
a. indivisible setup costs.
b. diminishing marginal productivity.
c. zero setup costs.
d. the short run.
Answer:
b. diminishing marginal productivity.
Explanation:
Economies of scale means that as total output increases, the average total cost per unit decreases. This continues until a point where marginal costs will start to increase as well as average total cost per unit. In other words, marginal productivity decreases as total output increases, and at one point it will become negative.

Therefore as per the given situation, the correct option is a.
hence, all the other options are wrong
In ________, salespeople are independent contractors who not only sell the product, but also recruit additional salespeople.
Answer:
Multi-level marketing.
Explanation:
A business organization that is run with multi-level marketing strategy typically has 3 sources of income:
- The amount of money that each person have to pay in order to gain the membership status.
- The amount of money that memberships owners have to pay to be a distributor of their product
- The amount of money that they get from the sales of their product.
Most multi-level marketing companies will provide their members with some sort of 'Reward' if they managed to convert other people into purchasing memberships to organization. So, the more their members convert other people, the more wealthy that members will be. This will create a hierarchy like within an organization where the members who bring the most memberships place at the top of the hierarchy.
Suppose Rhonda owns and operates a surf shop. Last week, Rhonda ran a 30-percent off sale on all items in her shop and her revenues decreased by 35 percent. Everything else held constant, it can be concluded with certainty that Rhonda's customers' demand is:________.
A. price inelastic
B. price elastic
C. unit elastic
Answer:
Explanation:
price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
revenue = price x quantity
if price decreased by 30% and total revenue decreased by 35%, then PED is inelastic
a will show you in an example
original price = $10
original quantity = 100
if PED was unit elastic
= 30% / -30% = -1, sales volume increased by 30%
total revenue went form $1,000 to $910
if PED was elastic
= 50% / -30% = -1.7, sales volume increased by more than 30%, lets say 50%
total revenue went from $1,000 to $1,050
if PEd was inelastic
= 10% / -30% = -0.33, sales volume increased by less that 30%, lets say 10%
total revenue went from $1,000 to $770
the more inelastic, the larger the decrease in total revenue
The demand of Rhonda's customers would be characterized as:
A). Price Inelastic
"Price Inelastic demand" is described as the demand in which the demand remains a little affected by a bigger change in the price of that product or commodity. In the given situation, the demand for the surf at Rhonda's shop would be considered price inelastic because, despite the 30% off, the revenue of her shop decreased. This implies that the surf exemplifies an essential item and its consumers are not much affected by the fall in the price.
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

According to the liquidity preference model, if the Federal Reserve increases the money supply, the equilibrium interest rate ________, and this leads to _________ in the quantity demanded of nonmonetary interest-bearing financial assets.
a) falls; an increase.b) falls; a decrease.c) rises; an increase.d) rises; a decrease.
Answer:
b) falls; a decrease
Explanation:
According to the liquidity preference model, if the Federal Reserve increases the money supply, the equilibrium interest rate falls and this leads to a decrease in the quantity demanded of non-monetary interest-bearing financial assets.
Liquidity preference model which is also the Keynesian theory of money demand, says that people need money for three major objective transaction motive, precautionary motive, and speculative motive. The increase in money supply decreases interest rate and increases the quantity of money demanded and the decreases the quantity demanded of non-monetary interest-bearing financial assets.
