Answer:
$18,943.40
Explanation:
FICA taxes when Kyle was self employed = $76,000 x 15.3% = $11,628
Social security taxes while employed = ($137,700 - $76,000) x 6.2% = $3,825.40
Medicare taxes while employed = [($200,000 - $76,000) x 1.45%] + [($196,000 + $76,000 - $200,000) x 2.35%] = $1,798 + $1,692 = $3,490
Total FICA taxes = $18,943.40

You just received a bonus at your job of $4,000 which you decide to put in a savings account at the local bank. Assume that banks lend out all excess reserves and there are no leaks in the banking system. That is, all money lent by banks get deposited in the banking system. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.The reserve requirement is 18%, how much will your deposit increase the total value of checkable deposits?If the reserve requirement is 7%, how much will your deposit increase the total value of checkable deposits?Decreasing the reserve requirement _____ the money supply.a. Decreasesb. Increases
Answer:
$22,222.22
$57,142.86
INCREASES
Explanation:
Reserve requirement is the portion of deposit received by banks that the central bank requires to be kept as deposit.
If $4000 is deposited and reserve requirement is 18%
reserves would increase by $4000 x 0.18 = 4720
Increase in the total value of checkable deposit is determined by the money multiplier
Money multiplier = amount deposited / reserve requirement
$4000 / 0.18 = $22,222.22
$4000 / 0.07 = $57,142.86
It can be seen that the higher the reserve requirement, the lower the increase in the total value of checkable deposit
Activity Expected Costs Expected Activity Handling materials $ 625,000 100,000 parts Inspecting product 900,000 1,500 batches Processing purchase orders 105,000 700 orders Paying suppliers 175,000 500 invoices Insuring the factory 300,000 40,000 square feet Designing packaging 75,000 2 models Required: 1. Compute a single plantwide overhead rate, assuming that the company assigns overhead based on 125,000 budgeted direct labor hours. 2. In January 2017, the Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours and the basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours. Assign overhead costs to each model using the single plantwide overhead rate.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
1. Plant wide overhead rate = Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.
where,
Budgeted Overheads :
Handling materials 625,000
Inspecting product 900,000
Processing purchase orders 105,000
Paying suppliers 175,000
Insuring the factory 300,000
Designing packaging 75,000
Total Cost 2,180,000
And, the budgeted activity is 125,000
So, Plant wide overhead rate is
= Budgeted Overheads ÷ Budgeted Activity.
= $2,180,000/125,000
= $17.44 per direct labor hour
Now Assignment of Overheads
As Deluxe model required 2,500 direct labor hours
So, Deluxe model = 2,500 × $17.44
= $43,600
As Basic model required 6,000 direct labor hours
So, Basic model = 6,000 × $17.44
= $104,640
Since EBIT is not necessarily indicative of cash flow, many financial analysts adjust the formulation by: a. adding unpaid taxes to EBIT in the TIE formula b. adding unpaid taxes and interest to EBIT in the formula c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula d. adding unpaid taxes, interest and depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Answer: c. adding depreciation to EBIT in the TIE formula
Explanation:
The Times Interest Earned Ratio is used to measure the ease by which a company can pay its interest charges using its earnings before tax.
As depreciation is a non-cash expense, the amount apportioned to depreciation can be used when paying for interest so adding it back to the EBIT ensures that the cash resources of the company are included in the analysis of whether a company can pay back debt.
You have just purchased a municipal bond with a $10,000 par value for $9,500. You purchased it immediately after the previous owner received a semiannual interest payment. The bond rate is 6.6% per year payable semiannually. You plan to hold the bond for 7 years, selling the bond immediately after you receive the interest payment. If your desired nominal yield is 10% per year compounded semiannually, what will be your minimum selling price for the bond
Answer:
$12,341.80
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum selling price for the bond is shown below:
Semi-annual = 10% ÷ 2 = 5%
Semi-annual compounding periods = 7 × 2 = 14
Semi-annual coupon (for 10 bonds) = $10,000 × 6.6% × (1 ÷ 2) = $330
as we know that
Here We assume the selling price be S
The Present worth of the bond = PW of future cash flows
$9,500 = $330 × P/A(5%, 14) + S × P/F(5%, 14)
$9,500 = $330 × 9.898641 + S × 0.505068
$9,500 = $3,266.55 + S × 0.505068
S × 0.505068 = $6,233.45
= $12,341.80
A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of their cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 19.930 mm and an upper specification limit of 20.070 mm. The standard deviation is 0.18 mm and the mean is 20.000 mm. b. The company now wants to reduce its defect probability and run a "six-sigma process." To what level would they have to reduce the standard deviation in the process to meet this target? (Round the answer to 5 decimal places.)
Answer:
Missing word "a. What is the process capability index for the process?"
a. Cpk = Min[USL-μ/3σ, μ-LSL/3σ]
Cpk = Min[(20.070-20)/(3*0.18) ,(20-19.930)/(3*0.18]
Cpk = Min[0.1296, 0.1296]
Hence, process capability index is 0.1296
b. 2 = Min[USL-μ/3σ, μ-LSL/3σ]
2 = Min[(20.070-20)/(3*σ) ,(20-19.930)/(3*σ]
2 = Min[(0.07/3*σ, 0.07/3*σ)]
= Min[0.07/6, 0.07/6]
σ = 0.07/6
σ = 0.0117
Hence, reduced standard deviation level is 0.0117
Two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive
process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation
include:
Answer:
task performance and group maintenance.
Explanation:
Leadership can be defined as a process which typically involves motivating, encouraging and inspiring employees working under an individual to be innovative and create positive changes that will foster growth and enhance the success of a business firm or company in the future.
This ultimately implies that, beyond an individual possessing the traits or qualities of a leader, leadership in itself is a process that revolves around the activities or happenings between the leader and those who he or she is leading, which are the followers. Thus, leadership is simply a continuous process and it's transactional in nature because it occurs between a leader and the followers.
A leader can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of controlling, managing and maintaining a group of people under him or her.
Some types of power expressed by leaders are referent power, coercive power, etc.
Hence, two important group outcomes or consequences of the interactive process that unfolds between a leader, follower, and the situation include task performance and group maintenance.
Leaders are saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the follower performs his or her duties or tasks as stated in the contract and to foster cohesion among the various team members.
Hyu Corporation bases its predetermined overhead rate on the estimated labor-hours for the upcoming year. At the beginning of the most recently completed year, the company estimated the labor-hours for the upcoming year at 52,400 labor-hours. The estimated variable manufacturing overhead was $2.82 per labor-hour and the estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead was $1,196,840. The actual labor-hours for the year turned out to be 53,000 labor-hours. The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year was closest to:
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate for the recently completed year would be $25.66
Explanation:
The predetermined overhead rate is computed as;
= Total estimated manufacturing overhead / estimated direct labor
Where;
Total estimated manufacturing overhead = Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead + estimated variable manufacturing overhead rate × estimated labor hours
= $1,196,840 + $2.82 × 52,400
= $1,196,840 + $147,768
= $1,344,608
Therefore,
Predetermined rate = $1,344,608 / 52,400 hours
Predetermined rate = $25.66

Steve and Holly report the following items for 2020: Dividend income $16,000 Interest income 14,000 Itemized deductions (none of the amount resulted from a casualty loss) (26,000) Business capital gains 2,000 Business capital losses (10,000) In calculating their net operating loss, and with respect to the above amounts only, what amount must be added back to taxable income (loss)
Answer: ($4000)
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the amount that must be added back to taxable income (loss) in calculating their net operating loss, will be:
Dividend income = $16000
Add: Interest income = $14000
Add: Business capital gain = $2000
Less: Business loss = $10000
Less: Itemized deduction = $26000
Taxable loss = ($16000 + $14000 + $2000) - ($10000 + $26000)
= $32000 - $36000
= - $4000
Sheffield Corp. assigned $1601000 of accounts receivable to Pharoah Company as security for a loan of $1344000. Pharoah charged a 2% commission on the amount of the loan; the interest rate on the note was 9%. During the first month, Sheffield collected $404000 on assigned accounts after deducting $1480 of discounts. Sheffield accepted returns worth $5400 and wrote off assigned accounts totaling $11910. The amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was
Answer:
$1,317,120
Explanation:
Cash received by Sheffield Corporation at the time of assignment = Amount borrowed - Commission paid
= $1,344,000 - ($1,344,000 * 2%)
= $1,344,000 - $26,880
= $1,317,120
So, the amount of cash Sheffield received from Pharoah at the time of the assignment was $1,317,120
Assume that a company cannot determine the market value of equipment acquired by reference to a similar purchase for cash. Explain how the company determines the cost of equipment purchased by exchanging it for each of the following 3 items: Bonds having an established market price. Bonds that do not have an established market price. Common stock not having an established market price. Similar equipment having a determinable market value.
Solution :
Let us suppose that a company cannot predict the market value of an equipment that acquired by the reference to the similar purchase for the cash. Thus the company finds cost of purchased of the equipment by exchanging :
-- the market price of the bonds when they have an established price in the market.
-- the market price of the bonds when the common stocks does not have a established market price.
-- market price of the equipment when the similar kind of an equipment have a determinable value in the market.

The first cost of the project is $30 million with annual maintenance estimated at $340,000. If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year
Answer:
The conventional B/C ratio is 1.83.
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:
Officials from the City of Galveston and State of Texas gathered to celebrate the start of a beach restoration project that involves dumping sand and adding antierosion structures. The first cost of the project is $30 million with annual maintenance estimated at $340,000. If the restored/expanded beaches attract visitors who will spend $6.2 million per year, what is the conventional B/C ratio at the social discount rate of 8% per year. Assume the State wants to recover the investment in 20 years.
Explanation of the answers is now given as follows:
From the question, we have:
First cost = $30 million, or $30,000,0000
Estimated annual maintenance cost = $340,000
Expected annual revenue = Amount to spend per year by the visitors = $6.2 million, or 6,200,000
r = social discount rate per year = 8%, or 0.08
n = number of recover the investment years = 20
Incorporating the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity, we have:
B = Present worth of annual revenue = Estimated annual revenue * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) = $6,200,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08) = $60,872,513.93
C = Present worth of cost = First cost + (Estimated annual maintenance cost * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r)) = $30,000,0000 + ($340,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.08))^20) / 0.08)) = $33,338,170.12
B/C ratio = B / C = $60,872,513.93 / $33,338,170.12 = 1.83
Therefore, the conventional B/C ratio is 1.83.

A standard measure of leverage is the debt/equity ratio. According to conventional wisdom among financial analysts, a high debt/equity ratio indicates a high risk of insolvency or ultimate bankruptcy; conversely, a low debt/equity ratio indicates that the company is relatively solvent and able to meet its long-term obligations. Please see PowerPoints 59 and 60 in chapter 3 (copied below). In the case of Apple, their debt/equity ratio actually increased from 2002 to 2020. In other words, Apple carries more debt today relative to its equity than it did in 2002. However, very few people would argue that Apple is a riskier company today than in 2002. Please make an argument, supported by data, for why Apple is at least as solvent today as it was in 2002, despite its much higher debt/equity ratio. The argument should not just be supported by data, but you also need to provide either an additional keen insight (addressed to an accounting/finance professional) or do an excellent job explaining the concept to an audience member who is not an accounting/finance professional.
To whom did you address the answer above, to a professional or non-professional?
Answer:
There are three main reasons why Apple is a less risky company in 2020 than it was in 2020:
Apple is sitting on an enormous amount of cash. Apple has over 39 billion in cash, which is a very good amount to meet interest payments and dividend payments, making it very unlikely for the company to become unsolvent in the near future.Apple has a very high market capitalization, which is the total monetary value of the company stock. In fact, Apple is the number one company in the world by market capitalization, with 2.0 trillion dollars of market cap.The value of the stock of Apple has gone up substantially since 2002, sitting currently at 121 USD per share. This represents public confidence in the company from investors, and since Apple has good fundamentals, it is unlikely that the price of the stock will go down substantially in the near future.
Kevin O’Leary suggests that Jenn and Kelley decrease the price of their product by 50% and sell 10 times as many. That is, he predicts if they drop the price of their product from $40 to $20 they will increase their quantity demanded from 6,000 to 60,000. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information
Answer:
The price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.
Explanation:
From the question, we have:
New quantity demanded = 60,000
Old quantity demanded = 6,000
New price = $20
Old price = $40
The formula for calculating the price elasticity of demand is as follows:
Price elasticity of demand = Percentage change in quantity demanded /
Percentage change in price ................ (1)
Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:
Percentage change in quantity demanded = {(New quantity demanded - Old
quantity demanded) / [(New quantity demanded + Old quantity demanded) /
2]} * 100 = {(60,000 - 6,000) / [(60,000 + 6,000) / 2]} * 100 = 163.636363636364%
Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old
price) / 2]} * 100 = {(20 - 40) / [(20 + 40) / 2]} * 100 = -66.6666666666667%
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand = 163.636363636364% / -66.6666666666667% = -2.45454545454546
Rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:
Price elasticity of demand = -2.45
Therefore, the price elasticity of demand for Pursecases using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.
When The price elasticity of demand for Purchase then we are using the midpoint formula from this information is: -2.45.
Elasticity of demandAccording to the Elasticity of demand, are refers to the degree within the change in demand and also when there is a little change in another economic factor, like price or income.
Then New quantity demanded is = 60,000Old quantity demanded is = 6,000
After that New price are = $20
Then Old price is = $40
When The Price elasticity of demand is = Percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price are
Percentage change in quantity demanded = * 100
= * 100
= 163.636363636364%[/tex]
Percentage change in price
= * 100
= * 100 = -66.6666666666667%[/tex]
Then Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Price elasticity of demand is =163.636363636364% [tex]-66.6666666666667% = -2.45454545454546[/tex}
Then the Price elasticity of demand is = -2.45
Thus, the value elasticity of demand for Purchase using the midpoint formula from this information is -2.45.

Jenny, who is married and the mother of three, is 25 years old and expects to work until 70. She earns $45,000 per year. Jenny expects inflation to be 3% over her working life, and the appropriate risk-free discount rate is 5%. Her personal consumption is equal to 25% of her after-tax earnings, and her combined federal and state marginal tax bracket is 15%. What is the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method
Answer:
$855,903.20
Explanation:
Real discounting rate=> i= [i'-f]/[1+f]. Where i is the real interest rate. i' is the nominal interest rate which is given as 5% and f is the rate of inflation
i = (5%-3%)/1+3%)
i = 2/1.3
i = 1.94%
Her after tax earnings = 45,000*(1-0.15) = $38,250
Personal consumption = 25% of this, 38,250*0.75 = $28,688.
We are discounting her earnings back 45 years at 1.94%. The equation will be: 28,688 * {1-(1+0.01940)^-45} / {0.01940}
= 28,688 * {1 - 0.42120322099] / 0.01940
= 28,688 * 29.83488551597938
= 855903.1956824165
= $855,903.20
So, the amount of life insurance necessary for Jenny using the Human Life Value method is $855,903.20

Basic EPS = [$270,000 - $36,000] / 35,000
Basic EPS = $234,000 / 35,000
Basic EPS = 6.685714285714286
Basic EPS = 6.69
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + ($420,00*8%*60%)] / [100000 + 40,000 * 3/12 + (420*30) + (6,000*3)]
Diluted EPS = [$270,000 + $2,016] / [35,000 + 12600 + 18,000]
Diluted EPS = $272,016 / 65,600
Diluted EPS = 4.146585365853659
Diluted EPS = $4.15

Apartments is a ​-unit apartment complex. When the apartments are​ 90% occupied, monthly operating costs total $220,040. When occupancy dips to​ 80%, monthly operating costs fall to $215,480. The owner of the apartment complex is worried because many of the apartment residents work at a nearby manufacturing plant that has just announced it will close in three months. The apartment owner fears that occupancy of her apartments will drop to 55​% if residents lose their jobs and move away. Assuming the same relevant​ range, what can the owner expect her operating costs to be if occupancy falls to ​55%?
Answer:
Missing word "Use the high-low method to determine operating cost equation y=$_____, x + $ = ____"
Cost on (800*90%)=720 units is 220,040
Cost on (800*80%) = 640 Units is 215,480
Variable cost per unit = Changes in total cost/High activity-low activity = 4560 / 80 = $57 per unit
Fixed cost = Total cost - Variable cost = 220,040 - (720*$57) = 220,040 - 41,040 = $179000
Cost equation:
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost per unit
Y = 179000 + 57X
Y = 179000 + (57*440)
Y = $204,080

a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused.
b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.
c. mixed economies like the United States usually have a more equal distribution of income.
d. inflation is always low in a mixed economy.
Answer:
a. corruption is less likely when economic power is more diffused. b. private industry has strong financial incentives to produce efficiently.Explanation:
Venezuela is a planned / command economy which means that the government directs production of goods and services in the country. This can lead to corruption as those in government would become quite powerful and engage in activities that would make them richer at the expense of the nation because they will have the required access to do so.
As the government directs most things, there is less private industry and competition. With a lack of competition, companies will not see the need to compete and would end up being inefficient.
These are what happened in Venezuela.
