$3878.55
Explanation:
Step 1 :
It is given that Kristy has a biweekly gross earnings of $1950.
Since it is bi-weekly payments there are 26 payments in the year.
Gross earnings per year = 1950 * 26 = $50,700
Step 2 :
It is given that the social security tax is 6.2% up to $128,400. Kristy's earnings of 50,700$ does not exceed the threshold $128,400, hence 6.2% of her entire income is subject to social security withholding.
Social security withholding = 6.2% of 50,700 = 6.2*50700/100 = $3143.40
Step 3 :
It is given that Medicare tax is 1.45% with no wage limit
Medicare withholding = 1.45% of 50,700 = 1.45*50700/100 = $735.15
Total withholding = Social Security withholding + Medicare withholding 3143.40 + 735.15 = $3878.55

The question is missing the options which are below:
A Real risk-free rate differences.
B Tax effects.
C Default risk differences.
D Maturity risk differences.
E Inflation differences.
The correct answer is option C,default risk differences.
Explanation:
Default risk is the increase in return given to an investor to compensate the investor for the likely losses that may arise due to the inability of the borrower to make funds available to the investor on the maturity date or even in required amount.
Different debt instruments have different default risk depending on their credit rating as rated by international rating agencies.Such rating is a function of many factors,which includes:
Balance sheet position
Profitability
Liquidity strength of the company
Macro-economic factors and some others.
Liquidity refers to the ability of the company to settle obligations such as repayment of bonds and interest when due.
Invariably,liquidity has a higher impact in determining credit rating as well as default risk of an instrument.

Answer:
The correct answer is false.
Explanation:
A firm incurs both variable cost and fixed cost in the short run. If the firm is able to cover the variable cost in the short run it will continue operating. However, if it is not able to cover its variable cost it will stop operating.
So, if the demand falls such that total revenue is not able to cover total cost but the variable cost is being covered, the firm will not stop production.
In the long run, all the costs are variable. So when the revenue is not able to cover cost, the firms will stop operating.
