The W-4 tax form is used to ___________.
Answer:
Employees fill out a W-4 form to let employers know how much tax to withhold from their paycheck based on filing status, dependents, anticipated tax credits and deductions, etc. If you don't fill it out correctly, you may end up owing taxes when you file your return.
Explanation:
The form of W-4 tax is used to report to the employers about how much amount he/ she has to retained from his/her remuneration or paycheck.
What is a tax return?A tax return is a document being filed by all the taxpayers to the tax authorities on yearly basis. They have to specify all the details of their incomes earned in a year in that form.
W-4 tax form is one of the being submitted by the employee stating all the details of their incomes, applicable exemptions, credits, etc. to the employer. This should be done to inform the employer about what amount he/she has to withheld from their final monthly paycheck. In case the employee fails to file the form on time, then he/she has to give more taxes.
Therefore, the W-4 tax form is actually the withholding certificate filed by the employee to the employer.

The DUPONT model is useful when examining bank performance because:Select one:a. The ROA equals ROE times Leverage Multiplier.b. The net margin equals the asset utilisation.c. Banks have a similar financial structure as non-finance firms.d. Banks hold a lot of debt and have a small mark up, and the DuPont illustrates this relationship.
Answer:
d. Banks hold a lot of debt and have a small mark up, and the DuPont illustrates this relationship.
Explanation:
The Dupont model is basically a more complex return on equity (ROE) analysis. It breaks down ROE using net profit, asset turnover and equity multiplier (or financial leverage) to focus on the financial performance of businesses.
ROE = profit margin x asset turnover x financial leverage
When firms have higher financial leverage, ROE will increase, but risk will also increase, resulting in higher cost of equity.
Banks tend to have a much higher financial leverage than most companies since their business is to take deposits (liabilities) and then make loans to other clients (assets). E.g. commercial banks on average have a debt to equity ratio of 2, while investment banks have a D/E ratio of 3 or more. That means that for every $1 of equity, investment banks have $3 of debt.
The Dupont analysis is useful for understanding whether a company's performance is based on its efficiency (high profit margin or asset turnover) or its financial leverage. If a high ROE is based solely on a high financial leverage, then the company is considered a risky investment.
The agency problem exists primarily in companies of which:__________.
a. ownership is widely dispersed
b. common stock is closely held
c. management has stock ownership
d. both a & c
Answer: a. ownership is widely dispersed
Explanation:
When ownership of a company is widely dispersed, it means that there are few major holders of stock and no majority shareholder.
This can lead to more instances of the Agency problem ( managers acting for their own welfare instead of that of the shareholders) as there will be fewer people able to call the managers to book unilaterally. The managers will therefore feel more empowered to do as they please.
1. Sid bought a new $1,500,000 seven-year class asset on August 2, 2020. On December 2, 2020, he purchased $900,000 of used five-year class assets. If Sid elects Sec. 179 and does not take additional first-year depreciation, what is the maximum cost recovery deduction for these purchases for 2020
Answer:
Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450
Explanation:
Given the seven-year class asset bought by the Sid = $1500000
On 2nd December the five-year class asset bought = $900000
Now we have to find the cost recovery deduction for 2020.
900000/(900000 + 1500000) = 37.5% Thus, use half-year convention and avoid mid quarter
1500000 – 1,000,000 (Sec 179 limit) = 500000
500000 x 14.29% = 71450
900,000 x 20% = 180,000
1,000,000 + 71450 + 180,000
Cost recovery for 7 year asset = 1,071450
Cost recovery 5 year asset = 180000
Total cost recovery deduction = 1251450

5. The demand for good X is estimated to be QXd = 10,000 - 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX where PX is the price of X, PY is the price of good Y, M is income and AX is the amount of advertising on X. Suppose the present price of good X is $50, PY = $100, M = $25,000, and AX = 1,000 units. Determine 1. a. Own price elasticity of demand b. Cross price elasticity of demand c. Income elasticity of demand d. Is good y a complement or a substitute e. Is good is normal or inferior
Answer:
We need to calculate quantity demanded of good X
Qxd = 10,000 − 4PX + 5PY + 2M + AX
Qxd = 10,000 − 4(50) + 5(100) + 2(25000) + 1000
Qxd = 10,000 - 200 + 500 + 50000 + 1000
Qxd = 61,300
a. E(P) = ∆Qx/∆Px * (Px / Qx)
E(P) = - 4 * (50 / 61,300)
{where, ∆Qx/∆Px is the price coefficient = -4}
E(P) = = - 0.003 (The absolute value is 0.003)
Demand is inelastic, because price elasticity is less than 1.
b. CPED = ∆Qx/∆Py * (Py / Qx)
CPED = 5 * (100 / 61,300)
[where, ∆Qx/∆Py is the price coefficient of good Y = 5]
CPED = 0.008
c. IED = ∆Qx/∆M * (M / Qx)
= 2 * (25,000 / 61,300)
[where, ∆Qx/∆M is the income coefficient = 2]
= 0.816
d. Good Y and X is subtitles because CPED is positive.
e. Good X is a normal good because income elasticity is positive.

Explain how the economic systems of countries differ?
Explanation:
Economic systems can be defined as a system with characteristics and principles for regulating all components of an economy, such as labor, production, resources, etc.
It is different according to each country, in that each country operates through different laws and rules for controlling the economy. There are countries that operate through a more rigid economic system, where there is government control over production and market prices, and there are countries that operate in a freer economic system, where the government does not interfere so much in private property, in profitability and in price, and organizations operate according to the law of supply and demand, such as the capitalist system, for example, which is a system that is very widespread in the globalized world, where the primary objective is the accumulation of profits.
Gatwick Ltd. has after tax profits (net income) of $500,000 and no debt. The owners have a $6 million investment in the business. If they borrow $2 million at 10% and use it to retire stock, how will the return on their investment (equity) change if earnings before interest and taxes remains the same
Answer:
Return on equity would increase from 8.33% to 9.50%
Explanation:
The tax rate of 40% is missing from the question.
Return on equity prior to share repurchase=$500,000/$6,000,000
Return on equity prior to share repurchase=8.33%
With the issue of debt finance of $2,000,000, the after-tax interest expense is computed thus:
after-tax interest expense=$2,000,000*10%*(1-40%)=120000
adjusted net income=$500,000-$120,000=$380,000
new common stock=$6,000,000-$2,000,000=$4,000,000
adjusted return on equity=$380,000/$4,000,000=9.50%
In a _____ organizational structure, project managers work full-time on projects, while team members report to both functional managers and project managers
Answer:
Strong matrix
Explanation:
You are 20 years old and have completed your BBA and want to pursue further education but you don’t want to take money from your father. Your plan is to start working and earn enough money so that you can finance your degree on your own and get yourself enrolled in five years’ time. You estimate that the annual cost of doing an MBA 5 years from today will be PKR 400,000 and the program will be two years long. You will need the money at the beginning your program so that you are not worried about how to clear your dues during your studies. Luckily you go for a job interview and they hire you and you start working at a salary of PKR 25,000. So you decide that 50% you will deposit in a saving account at a 10% rate with monthly compounding for your further studies and the remaining amount you will use for your daily expenses.
1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?
2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?
3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?Comment on your answer.
4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose? Explain your answer.
Answer:
1. Will you be able to meet your goal at this current saving rate?
yes, you will even have some spare moneyannual cost of MBA = 400,000 x 2 years = 800,000
monthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500
ordinary annuity, 0.8333%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 75.80535
the future value of your account = 12,500 x 75.80535 = 947,566.88 which is more than the cost of the MBA
2. What percentage of your salary should you save if you want to have exactly your university expenses amount?
42.2138%800,000 / 75.80535 = 10,553.34
10,553.34 / 25,000 = 0.422138 = 42.2138%
3. How would your answer to part 1 change if the saving account rate changed to 5%?
actually you still have more money than what you need even if the interest rate falls to 5%, so you can still take your MBAmonthly salary = 25,000 and you will deposit 12,500
ordinary annuity, 0.41666%, 59 periods (5 years - 1 month) = 66.72805
the future value of your account = 12,500 x 66.72805 = 834,100.63 which is more than the cost of the MBA
4. If you are given an option to invest at the 10% saving rate with monthly compounding or 10.5% semiannual compounding, which would you chose?
I would choose the 10.5% semiannual compounding because the effective interest rate is higher.the effective interest rate of investing at 10% compounded monthly = (1 + 10%/12)¹² - 1 = 10.47%
the effective interest rate of investing at 10.5% compounded semiannually = (1 + 10.5%/2)² - 1 = 10.77%
What is the capacity of the machine in batches unfinished batch?
Complete Question:
You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced. The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part. You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts. The plant operates 8 hours per day.
What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?
Answer:
The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Set up time per batch = 10 minutes
Processing time per part = 2 minutes
Batch sizes = 50 parts
Plant operation = 8 hours per day
b) Capacity in batches per day:
Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes
Total minutes of operation per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches
c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch. Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day. These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

On December 31, 2019, The Bates Company's revenue is $340,000 and expenses total $220,000 before consideration of the following: Accrued wages total $16,000; Accrued revenues total $46,000; Depreciation expense is $22,000; Rental revenue of $8,000 was earned; the rent from a tenant was initially recorded by Bates as unearned rent revenue; The income tax rate is 30% of income before income taxes. What is Bates' net income after consideration of the above information
Answer: $95,200
Explanation:
Net Income before tax = Revenue - Expenses
Revenue = Revenue + Accrued revenues + Rental revenue
= 340,000 + 46,000 + 8,000
= $394,000
Expenses = Expenses + Accrued wages + Depreciation expenses
= 220,000 + 16,000 + 22,000
= $258,000
Net Income before taxes = 394,000 - 258,000
= $136,000
Net Income after tax = 136,000 ( 1 - Tax rate)
= 136,000 ( 1 - 0.3)
= $95,200

What is the sustainable growth rate for the company? B. Assuming it grows at this rate, how much new borrowing will take place in the coming year, assuming a constant debt-equity ratio? C. What growth rate could be supported with no outside financing at all?
Answer:
11.31%
Explanation:
sustainable growth rate = retention rate x return on equity
return on equity (ROE) = net income / shareholders' equity = $18,500 / $99,000 = 18.69%
retention rate = 1 - dividend payout ratio
dividend payout ratio = dividends / net income = $7,300 / $18,500 = 39.46%
retention rate = 1 - 39.46% = 60.54%
sustainable growth rate = 0.6054 x 0.1869 = 0.1131 = 11.31%
The sustainable growth rate for the company is : 11.31%
Sustainable growth rate is computed as :
= Retention rate x return on equity
Return on equity (ROE)
= Net income / shareholders' equity = $18,500 / $99,000 = 18.69%
Retention rate
= 1 - dividend payout ratio
Dividend payout ratio
= dividends / net income
= $7,300 / $18,500
= 39.46%
Retention rate
= 1 - 39.46%
= 60.54%
Sustainable growth rate
= 0.6054 x 0.1869
= 0.1131
= 11.31%

"For the past 5 years, an individual earning $40,000 per year, who was not covered by another retirement plan, has made annual contributions to an Individual Retirement Account. That individual has changed jobs at the same salary and has been included in that company's qualified retirement plan. Which statement is TRUE?"
The available options are:
A. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account must cease
B. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue and are an adjustment to income each year
C. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue but no adjustment to income is allowed
D. The employee has 60 days to roll over the funds from the IRA to the qualified plan in order to maintain tax deferred status
Answer:
Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue and are an adjustment to income each year
Explanation:
Given that, the individual involved makes $40,000 per year, therefore, the IRA contribution is tax deductible. This is because, the phase out range in 2020 for singles, where the contribution is not tax deductible is an income of above $75,000 per year, which is exactly between $65,000 - $75,000.
Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option B. Annual contributions to the Individual Retirement Account can continue and are an adjustment to income each year
You can buy property today for $3 million and sell it in 5 years for $4 million. (You earn no rental income on the property.) (LO5-2) a. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the present value of the sales price? b. Is the property investment attractive to you? c. Would your answer to part (b) change if you also could earn $200,000 per-year rent on the property? The rent is paid at the end of each year.
Answer:
a) Present Value of sales = $2,722,332.78
b) Property is not attractive. NPV$ (277,667.21)
c) Property is attractive. NPV-$520,874.79
Explanation:
The present value of the property
PV = S× (1+r)^(-n)
S- Sales value
r- interest rate -8%
n- number of years
PV - present value
PV = 4,000,000× 1.08^(-5) = $2,722,332.78
b. Is the property investment attractive to you?
We calculated the PV of the investment as follows
NPV = PV of sales value - initial cost
= 2,722,332.78 - 3,000,000=$ (277,667.21)
The property investment is not attractive because it will produce a loss in capital i.e negative NPV
C
To determine we will calculate the NPV again with considering the additional rental income
PV of annual rent = 200,000 × (1-1.08^(-5))/0.08= 798,542.00
NPV = 798,542.00 + 277,667.2119 - 3,000,000 =520,874.79
The property is attractive as it produces positive NPV
A painting operation is performed by a production worker at a labor cost of $1.40 per unit. A robot spray-painting machine, costing $15,000, would reduce the labor cost to $.20 per unit. If the device would be valueless at the end of 3 years, what is the minimum number of units that would have to have been painted each year to justify the purchase of the robot machine
Answer:
4,166.66 units per year
Explanation:
Break-even is defined as the production volume at which the cost incurred in the production process is equal to the revenue earned.
Production above this point will result in positive revenue for the company.
The formula for break-even is
Break-even= Fixed cost ÷ (Difference in cost of labour per unit)
Difference in labour cost is the gain from this process. When it involves sales the denominator is Sales price less variable cost.
Break-even = 15,000 ÷ (1.4 - 0.2)
Break-even = 12,500 units
Production will have to exceed 12,500 units to justify purchase of the robot for 3 years.
Units produced per year will be
12,500 ÷ 3 = 4,166.66 units per year

What is the most effective learning theory in your opinion? Explain how does it modify one’s behavior? Support your answer with relevant examples.
Answer:
Experiential Learning Theory
Explanation:
I think that the experiential learning theory is the most effective learning theory. This learning theory projects experience as a crucial factor that promotes learning. It also explains that people learn better when they initiate their learning and not when they are forced to learn.
I think this theory is very effective as it makes the lessons learned to stick better and also cause the needed changes. For example, a teenager who is constantly reminded by his parents to avoid late night partying, but rejects the counsel, might learn better if he gets into trouble as a result of the experience. Also, a student who finds it difficult to understand a topic taught by a teacher, might get better at it when he initiates the learning himself by actively researching and studying on his own.

If Lola Harper had the following itemized deductions, should she use Schedule A or the standard deduction? The standard deduction for her tax situation is $12,000. Tax Deductions Donations to church and other charities $6,180 Medical and dental expenses exceeding 10 percent of adjusted gross income 2,660 State income tax 4,820
Answer:
To determine whether she should use schedule A or standard deduction, we should add qualifying itemized deductions and should compare total standard deduction .
Therefore, Total itemized deductions = Donations + Medical and dental expenses + State income + Job expenses
Substitution of given values
Total itemized deductions = $1,200 + $6,180 + $2,660 + $4,820
Total itemized deductions = $14,860
Conclusion: in this case total itemized deduction of $14,860 is more than standard deduction of $12000 . So, Lola Harper should use schedule A compared to standard deduction.
