Answer: what is the question being asked?
As you employ people, you are responsible for paying the employer's share of certain taxes, such as Social Security
(6.2% of wages) and Medicare (2.45% of wages). If your payroll is $250,000 for the year, how much will you owe in these two taxes?
A.) $20,000
B.) $20.625
C.) $21,625
D.) $22,785
Answer: c $21,625. I just took it
$21,625 will you owe in these two taxes. The correct option is C.
Why is it important to have social security?Compulsory payments made to the general government known as social security contributions give recipients the right to receive a (probable) social benefit in the future. The elderly, disabled workers, injured soldiers, and families who have lost a spouse or parent are all helped by Social Security. At present, over 65 million people receive monthly Social Security benefits while approximately 179 million people are employed and contributing to Social Security.
Given
Payroll = $250,000
Medicare Tax Rate = 2.45%
Social Security Tax Rate = 6.2%
Required to Calculate the sum of these two taxes =?
= 250,000 x 8.65(2.45 + 6.2)/ 100
= $21,625
Medicare tax is not deducted from your paycheck if you work for yourself. Typically, you would submit your estimated tax payments on a quarterly basis and use them to pay your self-employment taxes, including Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Thus, the ideal selection is option C.

You are a lobbyist hired by a less developed country to try to prevent a developed country from increasing trade barriers against labor-intensive manufactured imports such as textiles. Make your case, arguing from both developed and developing country perspectives, in terms of who gains and who loses.
Answer:
The answer is explained below in separate headings.
Explanation:
Resources available such as land, labour, capital and entrepreneurship are different for each country. Some may have more while others might have less. The large (developed) countries tend to be more resourceful than those small (developing) countries.
Developed Country
In this case, the capital available at the developed country's disposal helps them export manufactured goods and import labour-intensive goods from developing country with relative ease in order to produce and profit from the market.
Developing Country
From their point of view, the potential to trade outward results in the enhancement in the country's growth and efficiency. This ultimately creates an opportunity for the consumers to benefit from the variety of goods available to choose from and workers of higher incomes.
Hence, if the trade barriers are increased then it would affect both the country's in terms of profit. However, the effect would be more adverse for developing country rather than for a developed country.

On January 1, 2017, Yeager Company purchased some equipment for $4,700. The estimated life was five years, after which there would be a residual value of $600. On January, 1, 2019, the estimated total economic life from the original purchase date was changed to six years and the estimated residual value was increased by $100. Assuming straight line depreciation method is used by the company, what is the amount of depreciation expense for the year 2019
Answer:
$575
Explanation:
Straight line method charges a fixed amount of depreciation using the formula :
Depreciation expense = (Cost - Residual Value) ÷ Useful Life
2017
Deprecation expense = $820
2018
Deprecation expense = $820
2019
Calculate depreciable amount :
New depreciable amount = Previous Depreciable Amount - Accumulated depreciation - Increase in Residual amount
= $4,700 - $600 - $1,640 - $100
= $2,300
Determine the New useful life :
Since 2 years have already expired, the new useful life out of the revised 6 years is 4.
Depreciation Expense calculation :
Depreciation Expense = Depreciable Amount ÷ Useful Life
= $2,300 ÷ 4
= $575
Conclusion :
The amount of depreciation expense for the year 2019 is $575

Explanation:
Alana Company manufactures books. Manufacturing a book takes 10 units of A1 and 1 unit of A2. Scheduled production of books for the next two months is 1,000 and 1,200 units, respectively. Beginning inventory is 4,000 units of A1 and 30 units of A2. The ending inventory of A1 is planned to decrease 500 units in each of the next two months, and the A2 inventory is expected to increase 5 units in each of the next two months.
How many units of A1 does Alana Company expect to use in production during the second month?
A) 12,000 units
B) 12,500 units
C) 10,000 units
D) 10,750 units
Answer:
Direct material used (A1)= 12,500 units
Explanation:
To calculate the units of A1 used in the second month of production, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material used= beginning inventory + production - ending inventory
Beginning inventory= (4,000 - 500)= 3,500
Production= 10*1,200= 12,000
Ending inventory= (3,500 - 500)= 3,000
Direct material used (A1)= 3,500 + 12,000 - 3,000
Direct material used (A1)= 12,500 units

In 2019 the company would like to increase selling prices by 10%, and as a result expects a decrease in sales volume of 5%. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales is expected to increase to 62%. Other than depreciation, all operating costs are variable. What is the new net income
Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following formula:
Unitary selling price= 500,000/100,000= $5
Operating expenses= $1
Depreciation= $20,000
New selling price= 5*1.1= $5.5
Sales in units= 100,000*0.95= 95,000
COGS rate= 0.62
To calculate the net income, we need to use the following structure:
Sales= 5.5*95,000= 522,500
COGS= 522,500*0.62= (323,950)
Gross profit= 198,550
Operating expenses= (95,000 + 20,000)= (115,000)
Net income= 83,550
A city that is attempting to attract a professional football team is planning to build a new stadium costing $500 million. Annual upkeep is expected to amount to $1,000,000 per year. The artificial turf will have to be replaced every 20 years at a cost of $2,000,000. Painting every 5 years will cost $250,000. If the city expects to maintain the facility indefinitely, what will be its capitalized cost at an interest rate of 10% per year
Answer:
Capitalized cost = - $510,758,686.20
Explanation:
Interest rate = r = 10%, or 0.10
Present value of base cost = $500 million = $500,000,000
Present value of annual upkeep = $1,000,000 / r = $1,000,000 / 0.10 = $10,000,000
Present value of the replacement cost of artificial turf every 20 years = ($2,000,000 * (r / (((1 + r)^20) - 1)) / r = ($2,000,000 * (0.10 / (((1 + 0.10)^20) - 1)) / 0.10 = $349,192.50
Present value of painting every 5 years = ($250,000 * (r / (((1 + r)^5) - 1)) / r = ($250,000 * (0.10 / (((1 + 0.10)^5) - 1)) / 0.10 = $409,493.70
Therefore, we have:
Capitalized cost = - Present value of base cost - Present value of annual upkeep - Present value of the replacement cost of artificial turf every 20 years - Present value of painting every 5 years = - $500,000,000 - $10,000,000 - $349,192.50 - $409,493.70 = - $510,758,686.20
3. You own a portfolio that has $4,740 invested in Stock A and $3,260 invested in Stock B. If the expected returns on these stocks are 8 percent and 11 percent, respectively, what is the expected return on the portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio expected return = 0.092225 or 9.2225%
Explanation:
The expected portfolio return is a function of the weighted average of the individual stocks' returns that form up the portfolio. The expected return on the portfolio containing two stocks can be calculated as follows,
Portfolio Expected Return = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of stocksr represents the return from each stockTo calculate the weight of each stock in the portfolio, we first need to calculate the total investment in the portfolio.
Total Investment = 4740 + 3260 = 8000
Portfolio expected return = 4740/8000 * 8% + 3260/8000 * 11%
Portfolio expected return = 0.092225 or 9.2225%
A Parent Company owns 100 percent of its Subsidiary. During 2018, the Parent company reports net income (by itself, without any investment income from its Subsidiary) of $650,000 and the subsidiary reports net income of $260,000. The parent had a bond payable outstanding on January 1, 2018, with a carrying value equal to $546,000. The Subsidiary acquired the bond on January 1, 2018 for $513,500. During 2018, the Parent reported interest expense (related to the bond) of $45,500, while the Subsidiary reported interest income (related to the bond) of $41,600. What is consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2018
Answer:
$913,900
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2018
Using this formula
Ending consolidated net income =(2018 Parent company net income+Subsidiary reports net income)+(Parent reported interest expense-Subsidiary reported interest income)
Let plug in the formula
Ending consolidated net income=( $650,000+ $260,000)+($45,500-$41,600
Ending consolidated net income= $650,000+ $260,000+ $3,900
Ending consolidated net income=$913,900
Therefore the consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 is $913,900

You are responsible for managing the diaper inventory at an Amazon warehouse. Demand for diaper boxes from this warehouse is predictable and is about 10,000 boxes per month. The fixed cost of placing a diaper box order from a supplier is $400 per order (mostly due to fixed transportation costs). Furthermore, you estimate that the holding cost of a box of diapers is about $0.5 per month. The wholesale cost of each box of diapers from the supplier is $15 per box.
1. What is the cost-minimizing number of boxes that you should order from your supplier? How often should you place this order?
2. Due to the consolidation of replenishment orders of different products, your manager informs you that you are constrained to re-ordering diaper boxes only once a month (i.e., you must place a replenishment order once every month). What should be your ordering quantity in this case? By how much does your average monthly costs increase compared to the ordering quantity in Question 1?
Answer:
1. EOQ = 4,000 units per order.
place an order every 12 days.
2. If you can only make one purchase per month, the purchase order should be for 10,000 units.
Total inventory costs would increase by $10,800
Explanation:
annual demand = 10,000 x 12 = 120,000
annual holding cost per unit = $0.50 x 12 = $6
order cost = $400
EOQ = √[(2 x 120,000 x $400) / $6] = √16,000,000 = 4,000
total number of orders per year = 120,000 / 4,000 = 30
each order will be placed after 365 / 30 = 12.17 days
total inventory costs = (30 x $400) + (2,000 x $6) = $24,000
new inventory costs = (12 x $400) + (5,000 x $6) = $34,800
Russell and Sons, a CPA firm, established the following standard labor cost data for completing what the firm referred to as a Class 2 tax return. Russell expected each Class 2 return to require 4.0 hours of labor at a cost of $30 per hour. The firm actually completed 600 returns. Actual labor hours averaged 3.6 hours per return and actual labor cost amounted to $34.50 per hour.
Required
a. Determine the total labor variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
b. Determine the labor price variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
c. Determine the labor usage variance and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U).
Answer:
a. Total labor variance:
= (Actual labor cost - Standard labor cost) * No of returns completed
= [ (34.50 * 3.6) - (30 * 4) ] * 600
= $2,520 Unfavorable
Unfavorable because the budget was exceeded by the actual costs.
b. Labor Price variance:
= (Actual labor cost - Standard labor cost) * Actual hours
= (34.50 - 30) * 600 returns * 3.6 hours per return
= $9,720 Unfavorable
Budget was exceeded so unfavorable.
c. Labor usage variance:
= (Actual labor hours - Standard labor hours) * Standard labor rate
= [ (3.6 hours * 600 returns) - (4 hours * 600) ] * 30
= -$7,200
= $7,200 favorable
Budget was not exceeded so this is a Favorable variance.

Name a product or a company that you are familiar with. Discuss how environmental forces (social, economic, technological, competitive, and regulatory) will impact that product/company over the next five years.
Answer:
The name of the product is Coke and this is a Pestel Analysis.
PESTEL is short for Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal. All representing factors that can and will impact the operations of any business.
Explanation:
Coca-Cola is a global company with is in the business of providing refreshments to its customers by the sale of Soda or soft drinks. Because of the nature of the product, the industry in which they play is heavily regulated and they must use the best technology in order to stay relevant, competitive, and dominant in the market.
Political factors
One of the regulators to whom Coca-cola must dance to its tune is the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) a Federal Agency of the Department of Health and Human Services in the US. All Coca-cola product must meet their requirements as stipulated by law. If the laws enforced by FDA changes it could adversely affect the distribution, taxes, accounting, and all other operations of Coca-Cola.
Economical factors
Some economic factors that may affect a business like Coca-cola are:
Interest rates, exchange rates, recession, Inflation, Taxes, Demand / Supply.
One critical factor in this group which the company must be on the lookout for always is changes in taste and demand. Consumers are making a shift globally towards more healthy alternatives to soda. This is because, as the world becomes more sedentary due to shifts in global economic patterns as induced by the pandemic, risk factors relating to health care on the increase. Hence consumers want to ensure that they cut down on foods and beverages that increase their predisposition to conditions such as obesity, cancer, high blood pressure, etc.
To stay relevant and competitive, the company has to seek out healthy drinks that speak to all the various localities (which are over 200 countries).
Social factors
Examples of social factors that can affect a business are:
e-commerce adaptation, purchasing habits, ease of adoption of technology, changes in customer service expectation, the education level of consumers.
The purchasing habit for Coca-cola is changing in lots of countries. People are becoming more predisposed to buying products online. How will that affect the demand for the company's products? Will it increase as online food orders increase? can the company position itself to take advantage of the trend? If yes, then it is making taking advantage of its changing social environment.
Technological factors
Adoption of best-in-class machinery is one of the strategies that has enabled Coca-Cola to achieve higher quality and quantity of its products. Speed of delivery, processes that are optimized for the lowest costs and highest outputs are now being made possible with advances in technology. Coca-cola is taking advantage of technology especially in regions such as Europe.
Legal factors
Product liability, third-party liability, employer-employee (labor) relations, compliance, and regulatory factors are all within the scope of Coca-Cola's legal universe. Constantly managing this space of its operations will keep it from experiencing avoidable erosion of its bottom line and brand equity.
Environmental factors
Companies no longer compete on the basis of profitability alone. Global companies are the target of onslaughts from those who campaign against the degradation of the environment. One way they do so is to discourage the consumption of the goods of a company whose activities are harming the environment.
So companies all over the world are not competing based on the triple bottom line criteria: People, Planet, Profit.
This answers the questions whether
Coca-cola is in compliance with international best practices as far as labor law is concerned;How does the company handle its effluents and wastes? is it just discharging them into the earth without treatment? or is it creatively converting them into economic products? how responsible is the company socially?then of course there is the issue of keeping the books in the blackCheers

Make a one-time payment of $18,850, due when you purchase the car. 1-a. Determine how much cash the dealer would charge in option (a). (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) 1-b. In present value terms, which offer is clearly a better deal
Answer:
1. a. $20,199.85
b. One time payment of $18,850.
Explanation:
1. a. Find the present value of $660 per month (annuity) and $12,000 at the end of 25 months.
Period = 25 months
Interest = 24% / 12 months = 2%
Present value of annuity = 660 * ( 1 - (1 + 2%) ⁻²⁵) / 2%
= $12,885.48
Present value of $12,000 at end of 25 months.
= 12,000 / ( 1 + 2%)²⁵

At 14,000 units of production, a flexible budget would show a.variable costs of $66,000 and $20,000 of fixed costs. b.variable and fixed costs totaling $120,400. c.variable costs of $92,400 and $28,000 of fixed costs. d.variable costs of $92,400 and $20,000 of fixed costs.
Answer:
d. variable costs of $92,400 and $20,000 of fixed costs.
Explanation:
Flexible Budget is a budget that has been adjusted to meet the actual level of activities (units produced) during the year.
Step 1 : Determine the Variable unit Costs
Direct Labor ($60,000 ÷ 10,000) = $6.00
Electric Power ($6,000 ÷ 10,000) = $0.60
Total Variable Cost per unit = $6.60
Step 2 Determine Total Cost
Total Cost = Variable Cost + Fixed Cost
where x units are produced this will be :
Total Cost = $6.60x + $20,000
for 14,000 units produced this will be :
Total Cost = $6.60 x 14,000 + $20,000
= $92,400 + $20,000
= $112,400
Conclusion :
The correct option is d. variable costs of $92,400 and $20,000 of fixed costs.
