Answer:
$0

If an individual's total income (including Social security benefits + all other types of income) is less than $25,000, or $32,000 for married couples, then he/she will not have to pay any taxes on their Social Security benefits. Only if total income is higher than the current thresholds, should Social Security benefits be taxed. Depending of the individual's total income, between 50-85% of Social Security benefits must be taxed at the individual's tax bracket.
Answer:
26.4%.
Explanation:
Net Profit:
= Saving of Labor & other Costs - Maintenance Cost of Machine - Depreciation On Machine (100,000/ 16 years)
= $40,000 - $10,000 - $6,250
= $23,750
Initial Investment:
= Cost of new Machine - Salvage value of old machine
= $100,000 - $10,000
= $90,000
Simple Rate of Return = Net Profit ÷ Initial Investments
= $23,750 ÷ $90,000
= 0.264 × 100
= 26.4%
Answer:
a. Fishbone Diagram
Explanation:
The problem-solving process can be defined as the systematic approach used to identify and determine the solution to a particular problem.
The steps involved in the problem-solving process are;
1. Identify and define the problem.
2. Gathering of information.
3. Consider your options.
4. Weigh disadvantages and evaluate a solution.
A Fishbone diagram is also referred to as Ishikawa diagram and it can be defined as a cause and effect diagram that is typically used by managers to identify possible reasons for failure, defect, variation, imperfection, so as to discover the root cause of a problem and proffering the right solution. It was designed and developed by Professor Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s.
Cause and effect can be defined as the relationship between two things or events in which an occurrence one (cause) leads to the occurrence of another (effect).
Hence, the following exchange "We pay higher costs than we need to when we go bowling because we don’t own our own equipment." demonstrates the Fishbone diagram.

Answer:
$326,400 is the variable cost quantity factor while $56,000 is the unit cost factor
Explanation:
The variable cost quantity factor is a measure of the difference between the planned and actual units multiplied by planned variable cost.
That is Variable Cost quantity factor = (planned units - actual units sold) x planned variable cost
= (14000-2400) - 14000) x $136
= (11600 - 14000) x $136
= -$326,400
Unit Cost factor = $(140 - 136) x 14000 units
=$56,000
