In the preceding situation part (a), if Linda works part-time and earns $30,000, by how much would Linda and Don's adjusted gross income increase
Answer:
The answer to this question can be defined as follows:
Explanation:
For point a:
Chargeable advantages to social welfare:
[tex]=0.5(\$35000+0.5(\$12000)-\$32000)\\\\ =0.5(9000)\\\\=\$4500[/tex]
Pension benefits etc $35 thousand
Total AGI= [tex]\$39,500[/tex]
For point b:
Additional revenue [tex](\$3,500-\$8,000) = \$27,000[/tex]
Taxable [tex]SSB0.5(27000+\$6000+0.5\times 12000-\$32000)=\$3500[/tex]
AGI = [tex]\$30,500[/tex]
Less: AGI in (a) [tex](\$39,500)[/tex]
Decrease [tex](\$9000)[/tex]
Tax payers' financial income has been down by [tex]\$2000[/tex], but taxable AGI is down by $9,000. The reduction of [tex]\$650(\$2000-\$9000\times 15 \%)[/tex] with a [tex]15\%[/tex]MTR after the tax income.
For point c:
The least of follows [tex]1). \ \ 0.85( \$65000+0.5 \times 12000-\$44000) = \$22950[/tex]
Smaller than that one
Calculated amount with the first formula
Less:
[tex]0.5\times 12000 = \$6000\\\\0.5(\$65000+0.5 \times 12000-\$32000)= \$19500 \ \ or \ \ \$6000\\\\\$22950 +\$6000 = \$28950 \\\\2.0.85 \times 12000 = \$10200[/tex]
That is why Linda and Don have [tex]85\%[/tex]of their gross income from the SSB [tex]\$10200[/tex].
The benefits of social security [tex]\$10200[/tex]
Additional revenues [tex]=\$35000+\$30000 \ \ (addl.inc)= \$ 65000[/tex]
AGI [tex]\$75,200[/tex]
Less (a) AGI ([tex]\$39,500[/tex])
Increases [tex]\$ 35,700[/tex]
AGI growth exceeds earnings increases because more SSB is taxed.

It is July 16. A company has a portfolio of stocks worth $100 million. The beta of the portfolio is 1.2. The company would like to use the December futures contract on a stock index to change beta of the portfolio to 0.5 during the period July 16 to November 16. The index is currently 2,000, and each contract is on $250 times the index. What position should the company take? long 140 contracts short 140 contracts long 240 contracts short 240 contracts
Answer:short 140 contracts
Explanation: Using the formulae
Number of Contracts (Company's position )=( Desired Beta of the portfolio - beta of the portfolio) x Portfolio of stocks) / ( Future Value )
Future Value = Index futures price x Multiplier
=2000 x 250
=$500,000
Putting the values, we have that
Company position =(0.5 -1.2) x $100 million) / $500,000
Company position=-0.7 x $100 million/500,000
Company position=-$70,000,000/500,000
Number of contracts (Company position)=-140 contract
A negative sign means that the contract is going short.
Therefore,
A total of 140 contracts by the company should be short.

Nick and Beth run a catering business in which they have two major tasks: getting new clients and preparing food for events and parties. It takes Nick 8 hours to prepare food for an event and 4 hours of effort to get each new client. For Beth, it takes 12 hours to prepare food for an event and 3 hours to get a new client.
1. Who has an absolute advantage in food preparation?
2. Who has a comparative advantage in food preparation?
Suppose that initially, Nick and Beth are both splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by __?__.
The second part threw me off and I got confused. I put up the entire problem just to see if i answered it correctly or not to see whether that was what threw me off or not. Thanks in advance! :)
Answer:
NICK
NICK
2
Explanation:
A company has absolute advantage in the production of a good or service if it produces more quantity of a good when compared to other countries
Nick prepares food in 8 hours while Beth produces the food in 12 hours. ick thus has an absolute advantage in food preparation because he produces food in less time
A country has comparative advantage in production if it produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared to other countries.
Opportunity cost of Nick in food preparation = 4/8 = 0.5 hours
Opportunity cost of Beth in food preparation = 3 / 12 = 0.25 hours
Nick has a comparative advantage in food preparation
Manufacturing and service are often similar in terms of what is done, but different in terms of how it is done. For example, manufacturers must decide what size factory is needed; service organizations must decide what size building is needed. Explain the differences between manufacturing and service for 2 of the following areas:
Customer contact
Uniformity of output
Uniformity of input
Measurement of productivity
Labor content of jobs
Quality assurance
Answer: When considering measurement of productivity, manufacturing firm tends to do more in this scenario. In productivity, manufacturing firm operates around the clock in order to meet their target and the demands of the industry
Explanation:
Measurement of productivity
When considering measurement of productivity, manufacturing firm tends to do more in this scenario. In productivity, manufacturing firm operates around the clock in order to meet their target and the demands of the industry, while in service, productivity is still met but functionality only takes place when it's needed or when they are scheduled, in order to avoid failure or for optimal performance.
Quality assurance
In quality assurance, the manufacturing aspect gives a very great attention to this, although the service firm considers it but the manufacturing has to consider the quality of product, quality of items used as all will play a vital role on what kind of result they want.
A pre-concert rehearsal is an example of
Media strategy
Marginal analysis
Quality control
Goodwill
Answer:
Quality control
Explanation:
Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.
Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.
Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;
1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.
2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.
Hence, a pre-concert rehearsal is an example of quality control because the participants or team members are made to practice their routines so as to master them and prevent mistakes on the day of the concert. Thus, a pre-concert is aimed at getting the best out of a team in order to deliver a quality performance to the audience.

A manufacturer of prototyping equipment wants to have $3,000,000 available 10 years from now so that a new product line can be initiated. If the company plans to deposit money each year, starting 1 year from now, the equation that represents how much the company is required to deposit each year at 10% per year interest to have the $3,000,000 immediately after the last
deposit is:___________
(a) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10)
(b) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,11)
(c) 3,000,000 + 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10)
(d) 3,000,000(A∕P,10%,10)
Answer:
The correct option is (a) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10).
Explanation:
Ordinarily, the equation to use to calculate the amount the company is required to deposit each year is given as follows:
A = F * (r / ((1 + r)^n - 1)) ....................... (1)
Where;
A = Annual deposit = ?
F = Future value or accumulated sum of amount = $3,000,000
r = Annual interest rate = 10%, or 0.01
n = Number of years.
The standard notation of equation (1) above is given as follows:
A = F(A / F, r, n) ................................ (2)
Substituting the relevant description from the above into equation (2), we have:
A = 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10)
Therefore, the correct option is (a) 3,000,000(A∕F,10%,10).
When originally purchased, a truck costing BD 23.000 had an estimated useful life of 8 years and an estimated salvage value of BD 3,000. After 4 years of
straight-line depreciation, the ascet's total estimated useful life was revised from 8 years to 6 years and there was no change in the estimated salvage valoe. The
depreciation expense in year 3 cquals:
ABD 5,000
O & BD 5.750.
O CBD 2.875.
ODBD 2,500.
Answer:
d. BD 2,500
Explanation:
Accumulated Depreciation through the end of year 4 = [ Asset's cost - Salvage Value) / Estimated Useful Life] * Years Elapsed
= [(23,000 - 3,000)/8] * 4
= BD 10,000
Depreciation in Year 3 = [Asset's cost - Salvage Value - Accumulated Depreciation] / Remaining Estimated Useful Life
Depreciation in Year 3 = [23,000 - 3,000 - 10,000] / 4
Depreciation in Year 3 = 10,000 / 4
Depreciation in Year 3 = BD 2,500

What is net income under absorption costing
Answer:
$29,000
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the unitary cost value
Unit cost value = ($1 + $2 + $1.5) + $30,000/6,000 = $9.5
Sales = 5,400 × $20 = $108,000
Less:
COGS = $9.5 × 5,400 = ($51,300)
Gross profit = $56,700
Less:
Total administrative costs = ($0.5 × 5,400) + $25,000 = ($27,700)
Net operating income = $29,000
The following items were reported on the balance sheets and income statement for Centerton Inc., a service company: Operating expenses payable, December 31, 2015 $ 64,000 Operating expenses payable, December 31, 2016 48,000 Operating expenses (income statement) —2016 170,000 What amount would be reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows for payments for operating expenses under the direct method?
Answer:
$186,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount that should be reported on the operating activities section of the cash flow statement is shown below:
= Opening balance of operating expense payable + operating expense - closing balance of operating expense payable
= $64,000 + $170,000 - $48,000
= $186,000

Ace Leasing acquires equipment and leases it to customers under long-term sales-type leases. Ace earns interest under these arrangements at a 5% annual rate. Ace leased a machine it purchased for $710,000 under an arrangement that specified annual payments beginning at the commencement of the lease for five years. The lessee had the option to purchase the machine at the end of the lease term for $100,000 when it was expected to have a residual value of $270,000. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)Calculate the amount of the annual lease payments.
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Amount to be recovered = $710,000
Present value of bargain purchase option is
= $100,000 × PV factor at 5% for 5th period
= $100,000 × 0.783526166
= $78,352.62
The Amount to be recoverd via periodic lease payment is
= $710,000 - $78,352.62
= $631,647.38
The Annual lease payment is
= $631,647.38 ÷ Cumulative PV factor for annuity due at 5% for 5 periods
= $631,647.38 ÷ 4.545951
= $138,947.25

Discuss whether or not skilled workers are always paid more than unskilled workers.
Answer:
Unskilled workers are generally paid less than skilled workers. Demand for skilled workers is high whilst their supply is low. There are two main influences on the demand for workers. One is the amount of output they can produce and the other is the price, for which that output can be sold for.

"Insurance is a waste of money. If and when you suffer a financial loss because of an
accident or some other event, you can pay for it from your savings account."
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Explain your position.
Answer:
disagree
Explanation:
As a personal opinion I strongly disagree with this statement. This is because for the majority of the people on Earth that live day to day with their finances, an accident can completely wreck them financially. A simple car, house, or health accident can cost thousands of dollars in loss or even hundreds of thousands. Most people would not have 10% of that in a savings account. Therefore, Insurance can be extremely helpful and in most cases cover the entirety of the accident which can (in a way) give you a second chance.
