Ralph is contemplating whether to purchase the new technologically advanced Toaster-matic 2000. The Toaster-matic 2000 has the a

bility to toast eight slices of bread at the same time and butters the bread for you. This benefit is unheard of with any of the competing toasters. The Toaster-matic 2000 has 12 different levers and buttons that can be pushed; without the user manual even technologically advanced consumers could have problems figuring out how it works. Which of the following factors might slow the rate of diffusion of the Toaster-matic 2000? Risk Relative Advantage Communicability Compatibility Complexity

Answer:

Complexity

Explanation:

As an innovation reduces the difficult of a certain activity or process it will have a better reception and therefore, a higher rate of diffusion.

Patrick patrone (single, 2 allowances), $925 wages __________ carson leno (married, 4 allowances), $1,195 wages __________ carli
Furkat [3]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1) P<u>atrick patrone </u>

Single and 2 allowances =\$ 925-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 613.40

It falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1,631

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 613.40-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 104.40=\$ 36.70+\$ 12.53=\$ 49.23

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $49.23.

2) <u>Carson Leno, married and 4 allowances </u>

= $1,195 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 - $155.80 = $571.80

The wages falls under the category of Over $444 but under $1,177.

The amount of income tax that he withholds is $0 + 10% of excess over $444.

\$ 0+10 \%(\$ 571.80-\$ 444)=\$ 0+10 \% \text { of } \$ 127.20=\$ 0+\$ 12.72=\$ 12.72

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $12.72

3) Carli lintz single, zero allowances and wages is $700.

$700 - $0 = $700 (zero allowance)

The wages falls under the category of Over $509 but under $1631.

The amount of income tax to withhold is $36.70 + 12% of excess over $509

\$ 36.70+12 \%(\$ 700-\$ 509)=\$ 36.70+12 \% \text { of } \$ 191 .=\$ 36.70+\$ 22.92=\$ 59.62

The amount to withhold for Federal income tax is $59.62.

4) Gene hartz. Single, 1 allowance and $2,500 wages.

$2,500 - $155.80 = $2,348.20

The wages fall under the category of Over $1,631 but under $3,315

The amount of income tax to withhold is $171.34 + 22 % of excess of $1,631 \begin{aligned}&\$ 171.34+22 \%(\$ 2348.20-\$ 1631)=\$ 171.34+22 \% \text { of } \$ 717.20 .=\$ 174.34+\$ 157.78=\\&\$ 332.12\end{aligned}The amount for Federal income tax is $332.12

5) Mollie Parmer. Married, 2 allowances and wages is $3,600

\$ 3,600-\$ 155.80-\$ 155.80=\$ 3,288.40

The wages falls under the category of Over $1,177 but under $3,421

The amount of income tax to withhold is $\$ 73.30+12 \%$ of excess over $\$ 1,177$ \begin{aligned}&\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of }(\$ 3,288.40-\$ 1,177) .=\$ 73.30+12 \% \text { of } \$ 2,111.40 .=\$ 73.30+\$ 253.37=\\&\$ 326.67\end{aligned}The amount for Federal income tax is $326.67.

<u>NOTE :</u> - the withholding allowance is deducted from the wages, the amount of single allowance is $155.80.

There are two universities, A and B, in a city. Tuition rises at University A and, as a result, the demand for attending Univers
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Substitutes

Explanation:

The education services at the two universities are substitutes to each other. The cross price elasticity of substitute goods is positive which indicates that as the price of one good increases then as a result the demand for other good increases and if the price of one good decreases then as a result the demand for other good decreases.

Now, if there is an increase in the tuition fees at University A, hence, this will increase the price of educational services at University A. Therefore, this will lead to an increase in the demand for educational services at University B.

Permanent tax cuts shift the AD curveSelect one:a. farther to the left than do temporary tax cuts.b. not as far to the right as
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

farther to the right than temporary tax cuts

Explanation:

The permanent tax cuts have more impact on consumption spending than temporary one. A permanent tax cut raises the expected lifetime wealth and increases autonomous consumption, thus leading to an upward shift of the consumption function. Consequently the permanent tax cuts shift the AD curve farther to the right compared to the temporary tax cuts.

GenX has a target capital structure of 40 percent common stock, 5 percent preferred stock, and 55 percent debt. Its cost of equi
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

12.085 %

Explanation:

WACC = Cost of Equity x Weight of Equity + Cost of Preference Stock x Weight of Preference Stock + Cost of Debt x Weight of Debt

Remember to use the after tax cost of debt :

after tax cost of debt = interest x ( 1 - tax rate)

                                   = 8.00 % x (1 - 0.35)

                                   = 5.20 %

therefore,

WACC = 22.00 % x 0.40 + 8.50 % x 0.05 + 5.20 % x 0.55

           = 12.085 %

thus

the firm's WACC given a tax rate of 35 percent is 12.085 %
