The difference between credit card and a debit card is that:
Debit cards are linked to your bank account, and money is withdrawn from the account as soon as the transaction occurs. While credit cards are not linked to your bank account, they are linked to the bank or institution that issued the card. Credit card are billed monthly.
Credit cards are considerably more popular with U.S. consumers because debit cards are linked to your bank account and if someone stole the card, all the money in your bank account will vanish. where credit cards are not linked to your bank account, it is charged monthly as much money as you want.

evablogger [386]

Answer: The social security tax will be withheld through September.

Explanation:

Social Security maximum base amount = $128,400

social security tax rate = 6.2% = 0.062

Medicare tax = 1.45% = 0.0145

Medicare Tax = no maximum

Base salary = $180,000

Social security tax amount = 0.062 × $128,400 = $7,960.80

Medicare Tax = 0.0145 × $180,000 = $2,610

Social security tax to be withheld = $7,960.80

Social security maximum base amount = $128,400

Monthly salary = $15,000

$128,400 ÷ $15,000 = 8.56

($15,000 × 8) + ($15000×0.56) = $120,000 + $8400

Therefore, the social security tax will be withheld through the ninth month which is between January to September

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": fall. The fall in taxes stimulates aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Recessions are the economic phases characterized by a decrease in economic growth. Unemployment rises, real income decreases, and the overall economy of a country dwindles. However, the government intervenes to turn around the situation by establishing fiscal policies.

<em>In such scenarios the tax rate decreases for individuals and institutions to have more money available so their purchasing power increases which, eventually, increases the aggregate demand (total demand for finished products).</em>

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The 52 of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunie if there are no other assets funding the plan.

Explanation:

the duration of the perpetuity = (1+YTM)/YTM

                                                  = (1+0.04)/0.04

                                                  = 26 years

the weights of the bonds = w

5*w + 26*(1-w) = 15

5*w + 26 - 26*w = 15

21*w =  11

w = 0.52

Therefore, The 52 of its portfolio should be allocated to the zero-coupon bonds to immunie if there are no other assets funding the plan.

The beginning inventory was 300 units at a cost of $10 per unit. Goods available for sale during the year were 1,300 units at a
Ugo [173]

Answer:

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400

The cost per unit = $12

b-1. Cost of goods sold = $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450

b-2. Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Beginning inventory    300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

May purchases            600 units at $11 per unit =     6,600

October purchases     400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Goods available        1,300 units                             $14,400

Ending inventory        550 units

Goods sold                 750 units

a. The number of units purchased in October = 400 (1,300 - 300 - 600)

The cost per unit = $12 ($4,800/400)

b-1. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using FIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

300 units  at $10 per unit = $3,000

450 units at $11 per unit =     4,950  $7,950

Ending inventory = $6,450 ($14,400 - $7,950)

b-2. Cost of goods sold and ending inventory using LIFO method:

Cost of goods sold:

350 units at $11 per unit =     3,850

400 units at $12 per unit =    4,800

Total Cost of goods sold = $8,650

Ending inventory = $5,750 ($14,400 - $8,650)

A company purchases 12,000 pounds of materials. The materials price variance is $6,000 favorable. What is the difference between
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.

Explanation:

Given Data:

Actual Quantity = 12,000 Pounds

Material Price Variance = $6,000

We know the formula for Material Price Variance is:

Materials Price Variance = <em>(Actual quantity × Actual price)</em> – <em>(Actual quantity × Standard price) ----- (1)</em>

For convenience, suppose:

Actual  Price = AP    &  Standard Price = SP

Rearranging the equation (1) and substituting the Actual and standard price with AP and SP we get,

Material Price Variance = (Actual Quantity x AP) – (Actual Quantity x SP)

Taking Actual Quantity as common on the left hand side of equation we get:

Material Price Variance= Actual Quantity (AP – SP) ---- (2)

Putting the values of Material Variance and Actual Quantity in equation (2), we get:

$6000=12,000 (AP – SP)

Rearranging the equation we get,

AP – SP = $6000/12,000

Finally, AP – SP = $0.5

Conclusion:

The difference between the standard and actual price paid for the materials is $0.5.
